The missing middle — on purpose.
We build the software that runs businesses too big for a freelancer and too small for an enterprise vendor. Boutique by design, not by accident.
Most software companies are built for one of two customers: the individual who needs a landing page, or the corporation that can sign a six-figure contract and wait a year. The businesses in between — the wholesaler with five distributors, the importer facing KSeF, the support team drowning in the same thirty questions — get neither.
They are told to either hire a freelancer who disappears after launch, or migrate to an ERP that costs more than the problem it solves. So they keep the spreadsheet, the shared inbox, the manual reconciliation — and quietly lose hours every week to work a computer should do.
Kortelo exists to serve exactly that middle. We audit your operations to find where the money and hours leak, then build the smallest thing that closes the gap — with the engineering discipline of an enterprise vendor and the pricing of a studio that respects an SME budget.
Audit before build
We start by finding the actual leak — not by selling you a platform. If a spreadsheet and a two-hour tweak fixes it, we'll tell you that.
Build only what pays off
Every feature has to earn its place against the hours or money it saves. No dashboards nobody opens, no scope for the sake of an invoice.
Own it end to end
One team designs, ships, and stays. You talk to the engineer building your system — not an account manager relaying tickets.
Leave you in control
Your data, your hosting region, your code. No lock-in traps, no hostage pricing. GDPR-first and hosted in the EU by default.
Enterprise capabilities. SME pricing. No RFP marathon.
We keep the studio small so the work stays sharp. That means we say no to projects we can't do well, and yes to the ones where a focused team beats a big one.
Kortelo operates as Kortelo OÜ, an Estonian company serving small and mid-sized businesses across Central and Eastern Europe. We work in Polish, English, and the local language of every branch region.
Kortelo OÜ is in formation — registration is in progress and the registered address, phone and registry code below are being finalized. We'd rather say that plainly than pretend otherwise.
Let's find your leak.
