We build the software your business can't buy off the shelf.
AI that works on your own data, custom platforms, and connections between your tools (ERP, CRM, CMS). You deal directly with the person writing the code.

What we build for you
From a complete platform to the one small connection that gives your team back a morning a week.
01
AI that works on your actual data
An AI assistant is of little use if it can't see your clients or your orders. We gather and clean up scattered data, then give Claude or ChatGPT access to it, with permissions you control. Your team asks questions in plain English and automates the tasks that eat their Mondays.
Technically, we build MCP servers: the open standard that connects an AI assistant to your software, read-only by default.
You call us when
- ChatGPT helps, but it knows nothing about your business.
- Your client list exists in three versions that don't match.
- Someone spends Monday morning building the same report.
Example projects
- Your team queries the CRM in plain language: "which clients haven't ordered since June?"
- Supplier invoices read on arrival and prepared in your accounting tool, approved by a person
- A client database deduplicated and made consistent across CRM, spreadsheets and invoicing
02
Custom websites and platforms
Customer portals, booking tools, B2B ordering sites: when nothing on the market fits the way you work, we build it. Database to launch, with payments and connections to your other tools included. You own the code and the hosting.
You call us when
- You've tried several tools and none of them follows your business rules.
- Your site is held together by plugins and every update breaks something.
- You're launching a product and need a solid first version, fast.
Example projects
- A B2B ordering portal where each client sees their own prices and reorders in two clicks
- A booking platform with online payment and invoices sent automatically
- A client area for sharing documents and requests, instead of email threads
- A WordPress site with 25 plugins replaced by a fast site with a simple admin
03
Connecting your platform to your tools
Your site works, but someone still retypes orders into the ERP every morning. We connect it to the software you already run on (ERP, CRM, CMS, accounting, payments) so data moves on its own. If a sync fails, you hear about it before your customers do.
You call us when
- Data gets copied by hand from one tool to another.
- The stock shown on your site is never quite right.
Example projects
- ERP stock synced to your online store, with web orders pushed back into the ERP
- Contact forms and quote requests sent to the CRM, to the right salesperson, with no duplicates
- An invoice created in your accounting tool as soon as a payment clears
- A CMS plugged into your existing site so the team edits pages without a developer
How we work together
- Diagnostic
- A few days to understand the need, look at what exists and estimate. You leave with a written document.
- Fixed-price project
- Scope, schedule and price agreed before we start. For a platform or an integration.
- Monthly retainer
- Maintenance, new features, watching your syncs, or part-time technical leadership.
How a project runs
At every step you know what's done, what's left and what it costs.
30 min
First call
You tell us about the problem. We tell you honestly whether we're the right people for it, and if not, who is.
A few days
Scoping
We look at your tools, your data and your constraints. You get a written document: what we'll build, what we'll leave out, the schedule and the quote.
Every week
Build
A new version to try every week on a staging environment, with a short update on what moved and what's blocked.
After that
Launch
The code lives in your repositories from day one. At delivery you get the documentation and every access. We stay on a monthly retainer, or hand over to your team.
Who's behind Ardatho
Ardatho was founded by Thomas, a web developer for more than four years. He has built platforms, back offices and integrations for startups and small businesses, often where several pieces of software finally had to talk to each other.
We work with one or two clients at a time. No salesperson or project manager between you and the code: the person who answers you is the one building it.
What we work with
- Every day
- TypeScript, Vue and Nuxt, Node.js, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Docker, CI/CD, Cloudflare, Google Cloud, LLMs
- When the project calls for it
- Python, Bash, React, GraphQL, Kubernetes, AWS
Your platform runs on something else? We work in your stack.
