What contoweb AG does

contoweb AG is a privately held Swiss software development company founded in 2016, headquartered in Tübach with a secondary office in Wittenbach, that designs and engineers custom web-based software and integrations for industrial, production, and technology-driven enterprises. Its core proposition is end-to-end custom delivery — from orientation and definition through architecture, development, launch, and ongoing care — for clients that need to digitize fragmented, ERP-heavy processes that off-the-shelf products cannot address. The company is lean, with 10 named specialists spanning full-stack development, UI/UX, BI, project leads, and customer success.

The firm's portfolio spans high-complexity enterprise platforms: the Hilti Prefab Engine (industrial prefabrication, SAP/BIM integration, 400+ users across 30+ countries, 20% material-cost reduction); ATTERO (Geobrugg rockfall-attenuator calculation and simulation, Python microservices plus React); KIFA Packaging Calculation (Abacus ERP + cadwork CAD integration, cutting packaging design from 30 minutes to under 10 seconds, 500,000+ material line items calculated); praxicare (digital care management, 10,000+ active residents, Abacus billing integration); TS-App (mobile gate management for TS TOR); and a Packaging Dashboard for a major aircraft manufacturer handling 160+ users, 100,000+ daily orders, and approximately 22,600 daily API transmissions. Technology is centered on Laravel, React, TailwindCSS, Python microservices, with SAP BTP/CAP and Abacus ERP integrations as differentiators; the team also contributed CHIPS cookie support to official Symfony and Laravel releases.

contoweb operates as a professional-services firm selling bespoke project contracts with no public pricing, supported by direct sales (phone and email), a content-led website (project case studies, a "Tech clarity" blog), and an active presence in the Swiss Laravel and Abacus ecosystems. It holds certified Abacus API Partner status, sponsors the Swiss Laravel Association, and obtained ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certifications in September 2025. Leadership is anchored by Jürg Sturzenegger (Präsident des Verwaltungsrates) and Fabrice Locher (Lead Projekte & Geschäftsleitung, board member).
