Software that makes
work easier.
If your work involves spreadsheets, copying data between systems, or repeating the same task over and over, there's usually a better way.
Softllama builds the software that clears that friction, so your team gets back to work that matters.
Software that fits the way you already work.
Re-entering the same data twice. Jumping between tools that don't talk to each other. Doing by hand what a computer should handle.
We look at how your team works today and where time is being lost.
What we build
What's slowing you down comes first. The technology comes second.
Workflow software
If part of the business runs on spreadsheets and sticky notes because nothing off-the-shelf fits, we build the tool that does: a planning board, an internal dashboard, a customer portal, shaped around your team.
Process automation
Some tasks eat an afternoon for no good reason: copying numbers between systems, retyping forms, chasing approvals over email. If it feels repetitive, it can probably be automated.
Systems integration
Your tools probably don't talk to each other yet, so someone ends up as the manual link between them. We connect the systems so the work happens once.
Software built to last
Underneath all of this is solid engineering, built to run quietly in production for years, not to demo well.
Four principles
The same approach, every engagement. No shortcuts.
-
Understand the work
We don't start with a feature list. We watch how the work happens today: what flows, and what everyone's quietly frustrated with.
-
Simplify before automating
Automating a messy process makes the mess move faster. We fix the workflow first, then build software around the version that makes sense.
-
Build around users
Nobody should have to learn a new way of thinking to use a new tool. We design around how your team already works, so picking it up takes an afternoon, not a training course.
-
Build reliable foundations
A clean interface is only as good as what's behind it. Ours is built to hold up under real use, and grow with the business.
Results that matter
Real numbers from real projects, not marketing numbers.
Reduced from 20-30 seconds to about 2 seconds per 1,000 records. Less waiting. More getting things done.
Reduced from about an hour to 15 minutes. The team ships and moves on, instead of waiting around.
Live integrations connecting enterprise platforms that were never built to talk to each other, now running quietly, logging what happens, and recovering on their own when something breaks.
Built by an engineer
Softllama is Sonny Valkeneers, a senior software engineer based in Belgium. I build backend systems and integrations for people who need software that works, not software that looks good in a demo.
When you contact Softllama, you'll work directly with me from start to finish. You won't need to explain the same problem twice.
It's a smaller way of working, on purpose. Projects stay focused, and what gets built is exactly what the business needs.
