Take over existing software
Your existing software, safely taken over and developed further.
Built with an AI tool, the developer is gone or the agency is out: in the free code check, our senior developers assess where your software stands and quote a fixed price for professionalising it (refactoring) and taking it over. After that, a dedicated team stays on that knows your software, develops it month by month and takes responsibility for it. On subscription, for the monthly cost of one full-time employee.

The problem
Nobody takes responsibility for your software.
Built with an AI tool
Lovable, Bolt or v0 delivered in hours, and it looked finished. Now every change takes longer than the last, every fix introduces a new bug, and nobody can tell you whether your customers' data is safe.
No-code platform at its limit
With Bubble, Softr or similar platforms, getting started was quick. Now costs rise with every user, the next feature can't be built, and you can't get off the platform anymore.
The developer is gone
All the knowledge was in one person. Since they left, nobody dares to touch the code, and every small change becomes a risk.
The agency is out
The project was signed off, but there was no handover. Documentation and tests are missing, and there's no one left to contact about changes.
What's missing in all four cases is a department: a team that knows your software, develops it further and takes responsibility for it. That's exactly what you subscribe to with us.
How we know
We constantly test AI tools before we use them for clients. And we see where they fail.
Before AI was allowed to write code at our company, we tested the tools on our own projects. The result was always the same: a prototype in hours, and after a few weeks code that nobody can keep track of anymore, plus security gaps the builder doesn't see. From that, we built the Axisbits Engine™, with clear rules for how code must be structured, how data is protected and what gets checked before anything goes live. Today, we review your code against exactly these rules.
The code check
In a few days, you'll know what nobody knows today.
First, you talk to our Account Executive for 30 minutes and tell them what you've built, for whom and what should come next. If it's a fit, you give us read access to the code and our senior developers review it. After a few days, you have answers to the following four questions.
With these answers, you can decide.
Whether you can onboard your next big customer without worry. What needs fixing first and what can wait. And what it costs. Whether we fix it or someone else does is up to you.
At the end of the code check, you'll hear one of two things.
Keep building
Your code is a good foundation. It runs on scalable technologies, and the security gaps can be closed. You get the list of what gets fixed first, and the fixed price for it.
Rebuilding is cheaper
If your software is stuck in a no-code platform like Bubble, or the code is so tangled that patching it costs more than starting over, we'll tell you so, with our reasons and the price for a rebuild.
The model
The software department your product never had.
In the setup, we bring your software up to the standard we require of all new software: every user only sees their own data. Login runs through a vetted service instead of self-written code. Passwords and keys are not in the code. Every important feature has tests. And everything is documented so that a new developer can understand it too. After that, your software is developed further like everything we build.
How we take over
Code check
Four answers and a fixed price.
Setup
Close security gaps, add tests, document, hand over to the team.
Further development
Every new feature goes through the same five steps as new software: describe, design, build, review, approve and ship.
You know the fixed price for the setup from the code check. After that, you pay a fixed monthly fee.
We plan the takeover so that your software keeps running without interruption and all data is preserved.
What today is in the head of a single developer will be in the documentation after the setup. Anyone new to the team reads it there.
Your own code on a widely used stack. Any good developer can read it, and it belongs to you.
What the other options do with your software.
Most start from scratch. We build on what you have, if it's a good foundation.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
That's the most common case we see. The code check tells you whether a takeover is worth it or whether rebuilding is cheaper, with the price for both options.
Usually not. If the stack fits, we take over and close the security gaps during the setup. Rebuilding is only worth it when patching would cost more.
We can't take that over. We rebuild it properly, as your own code that you can take with you, and plan the migration of your data as part of it.
Often, yes. These tools build close to our stack. In the code check, we see whether the software holds up to what it promises from the outside.
That's what the code check answers. Typical gaps in software built with AI are credentials in the code, input that is only validated in the browser, and login logic that the AI wrote itself.
Not for the first conversation. For the review afterwards, we need read access to your code, for example on GitHub. We can't change anything there.
Yes. We work our way into the code, write down what isn't written anywhere, and become the team that knows your software for the long term.
Between CHF 5'000 and 20'000, depending on the state of the code. Clean code means little effort, a lot of legacy means more. You'll know the exact price after the code check.
Through the Axisbits Engine™, our own software for AI-assisted programming. In it, the AI writes the code, and it comes with everything every piece of software needs. The five specialists only work where experience is needed: reviewing, deciding, approving. The same work needs a fraction of the human hours. For you, that means a fixed price for the setup and then a monthly fee the size of one position.
Then you still have the four answers and know what to do. The code check stays free.
You do, completely, including all access.
What happens next
30 minutes to find out whether a code check is worth it for you.
We get to know your situation in detail and request the access we need. Then our senior developers read your code and write a report for you.
From the findings, we create a report including a fixed price for the setup, the timeline and the stages after that. Up to this point, everything is free.
In a few days, you'll know where your software stands and what comes next.
Whether built with AI, abandoned by its developer or simply impossible to develop further: first 30 minutes in the project check, then our senior developers review it, and you get your answers and a fixed price.
