We got tired of watching businesses bend around software.
Hiltz was founded on a simple idea: enterprise software should adapt to the business, not the other way around.
Our story
Hiltz started after years of watching the same pattern play out: companies either spent seven figures on fully custom ERP builds, or forced their operations into rigid off-the-shelf software that never quite fit.
We picked a third path — start from proven, battle-tested open-source platforms, then engineer exactly the pieces that make each business different. When open-source isn't the right foundation, we build custom from the ground up instead.
Today we work with manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and service businesses who need software that matches how they actually operate — not a demo video.

No lock-in. You own the source, the infrastructure, and the direction.
Honest recommendations
If open-source customization is the better fit, we say so — even over a bigger contract.
Senior engineers, always
No hand-off to a junior bench. The people who scope it, build it.
