Still doing it by hand?

These are the challenges I hear from almost every business owner I talk to.

Hours lost copying data between systems

Your team manually transfers information from one tool to another, day after day, wasting time and introducing errors that have to be tracked down and corrected later.

Your systems don't talk to each other

Your CRM, ERP, supplier platforms, and internal tools all hold data that never reaches the right place at the right time. The gap is filled by people, and that's where errors and delays live.

Automation feels complex or out of reach

You know there has to be a better way, but enterprise software is too expensive and "just building it yourself" sounds daunting.

Here's how I help

"It has never been easier to implement automation into any business process. But it has never been more difficult to choose the right tool."

That's why the first thing I do is understand your situation. Not sell you a platform.

Consultancy

We start with a thorough look at your workflows. I identify what's worth automating, which tools make sense, and what results you can expect. All of that before a single line of code is written.

You get a clear roadmap, not a sales pitch.

Development

I build your custom automation using Python, APIs, and AI: Focused on simplicity, reliability, and affordability. No overengineered black boxes, no vendor lock-in.

Built to last and easy to hand over.

Ongoing Support

After launch, I stay involved. I handle hosting, monitoring, and updates. I also train your team so they're confident using the new system from day one.

One point of contact, no surprises.

What this looks like in practice

Two examples of what custom automation actually does for a business.

Sales & Lead Management

Before

New leads from a website contact form piled up in the CMS backend. Someone on the sales team had to log in daily, copy the data, and manually create the right records in the CRM every single day.

After

An automated workflow picks up each new lead the moment it arrives and creates all the required CRM records instantly. The sales team opens their CRM and the work is already there.

Impact

Zero manual data entry. Errors eliminated. Proposals start immediately.

"If your sales team is typing in data instead of closing deals, you're paying twice for every lead."

E-Commerce Operations

Before

An e-commerce business managed supplier product data through Excel downloading files, reformatting, re-uploading to their ERP. Supplier stock levels were checked manually when an order came in.

After

A custom PIM system connects directly to supplier systems via API. It standardizes, maps, and pipelines product master data, prices, and inventory levels straight into the ERP automatically and on a custom schedule.

Impact

Product data always accurate. Pricing always current. Inventory surprises gone.

"If your product data lives in Excel, your business is one bad download away from an expensive mistake."

Oliver Engel

Hi, I'm Oliver.

I'm a software developer and automation specialist. With a Master's in Business Administration and over ten years of industry experience, including five years at a global corporation, I understand both the technical challenges and the business pressures that come with process improvement.

I started ENGELdevelopment because I saw how much time and money small businesses lose to repetitive manual work that technology could easily handle. My approach is straightforward: Understand your actual problem first, then build a modern workflow that solves it - reliably, affordably, and without locking you into anything.

I specialise in Python, n8n, REST APIs, and AI-powered automation. If there's a system that can talk to another system, I can make it happen.
