Making complexity simple. Every day.
We like clear words, short paths, and results you can feel in day-to-day work.
Hi, I'm Johannes. In 2010 I founded SODEFA GmbH & Co. KG—SODEFA stands for Software Development Factory. Our ambition: build as individually as our clients. Every project is different. We enjoy diving into new topics and turning them into pragmatic, shippable solutions.
When ChatGPT launched we jumped into the AI space. We were missing one thing: working together as a team inside the same conversation, centrally managed yet flexible. So we built our own platform and use it to ship MVPs fast—the finished solutions run inside our clients' environments.
I studied computer science, I'm a father, and I care about two things within the team: deep expertise and a healthy way of working together. Only a team that plays well together creates truly great solutions.

What we stand for
MVP before masterplan
Usable in weeks rather than perfect in months. First version usually within 1 week, short demos, clear next steps.
Privacy first
Your environment, your rules. Runs where you need it (Cloud/On-Prem/Hybrid) with documented roles, permissions, and audit logs.
Agile without the 80-page spec
Short loops, visible progress. Shared target picture plus prioritized list instead of a massive requirements document.
Measurable outcomes
Success is whatever moves metrics: 2–3 KPIs per project (e.g., handling time, first-contact resolution) with regular updates.
Our team by the numbers
- Graduation years: 1979–1992
- Senior level: everyone has project leadership experience
- 100% remote: daily stand-up in the morning, connected on Discord afterwards
- Local roots: Cologne, Leverkusen, Hürth, Taunus—connected every day
- Channel-time record: 14 hours (launch day)
