What we build
We don't do marketing, advertising or graphic design. We don't resell other people's software. We do this:
-
The system that holds operations together
Orders, enquiries, jobs, documents and correspondence in one place. Connected to what you already use, not instead of it. Access by role, and a history that doesn't go missing.
-
Steps that take themselves
An order in an email becomes a job, the job produces an invoice, the payment finds its own document. We set it to your rules — and nothing that touches money or leaves the company goes out without your click.
-
The website and shop as part of it
A website isn't a business card standing next to the system, it's the way in. An enquiry from a form and an order from the shop land straight where they get handled. Across borders and in several languages too.
-
A record that holds up
When you have to prove something to an insurer, an inspector or a customer, you need a record that can't be altered afterwards. We build it so the other side can verify it itself, without us.
Anything outside this we'll gladly point you elsewhere for. That's part of the job too.
Built and running
-
Walk-Check
The walkaround inspection of an aircraft between flights. The app films the machine and the recording is sealed and locked in storage so that it cannot be moved afterwards. Recognition of checkpoints from video is trained on real aircraft. Aviation regulation requires maintenance records to be protected against change. This is that protection.

Why you can't just
buy it
There is plenty of software. That is exactly why it doesn't fit.
Accounting, a webshop, email, a warehouse, analytics. It all exists, it's cheap, and we're not going to sell it to you. What you can't buy is what sits between them: an order in an email becoming a works order under your rules, an invoice falling out of it without retyping, and someone approving it before it leaves the building.
We don't build from scratch. You're buying a finished platform we've put years into, plus the part that is yours and exists nowhere else. That's why we can deliver in weeks, and why it doesn't cost what building the whole thing again would.
We're not selling you a saving. In the audit we count how many of those places you have.
Work it out
How many documents does someone in your company retype by hand each month?
A month 7 hours13 hours33 hours67 hours
A year 80 hours160 hours400 hours800 hours
We reckon four minutes per document: open it, retype it, check it, file it. It's our estimate, not a borrowed figure, and it's deliberately modest. If it seems low to you, measure it once across ten documents. The exact number for your company comes out of the audit, where we count your documents, not average ones.
That's how many applications inside companies are connected to one another. The other 73% are joined up by a person with a keyboard.
Where it matters most
It matters most where something has to be proven.
A system makes sense in any company that has outgrown Excel. But there is one class of work where it isn't about convenience, it's about whether you hold up when something happens.
- Inspections and statutory checks
- The inspector, or the firm that sends them. When something happens to someone, the labour inspectorate asks for the report. What was checked, when, what could be seen, and whose certificate expires when.
- Handover and acceptance of work
- A construction firm or a developer. Five years after handover the argument is whether that crack was there at acceptance. Without a record it's one word against another.
- Loss adjusting for insurers
- Whoever documents the damage for the insurer. A photograph with a time and a place, which the other side can verify itself, and a file that can't be reshuffled afterwards.
- Certificates and expiry dates
- Who completed what, when, and whose runs out when. It applies to people and to equipment alike.
- Handing equipment out and taking it back
- Hire firms — machinery, access platforms, scaffolding. What condition it left in and what condition it came back in — before anyone starts arguing about it.
Picture something going wrong and someone asking you how it happened. Who do you have to prove it to?
If you have a name for that question, we can help you. If you don't, the system will still save you time, but this particular part you don't need and we won't sell it to you.
What changes across the EU
The electronic invoice stops being optional.
From 1 July 2030, cross-border B2B invoices inside the EU must be issued in a structured format under EN 16931 and reported digitally, not sent as a PDF attached to an email. Member states are already mandating it domestically, and earlier — Slovakia from 1 January 2027, which is the deadline we build to today. We won't sell you new accounting software for it. We connect the one you have, so the document leaves in the shape required and leaves a trace behind it.
Today
- The invoice arrives as a PDF attached to an email
- Someone retypes it into the accounts this is where the time goes
- Accounting
From 1 July 2030
- The document leaves in a structured format under EN 16931
- Into the accounting system you already have
- And it leaves a trace behind it
today
August 2026
1 Jan 2027
In Slovakia, a domestic invoice between VAT-registered businesses must be structured under the European standard EN 16931.
1 Jul 2030
The obligation extends across the EU to cross-border supplies. EC Sales Lists give way to digital reporting.
The EU ViDA package, adopted 11 March 2025. Slovak mandate: Act 385/2025 Coll., amending Act 222/2004 Coll. on VAT.
How we work
A paid audit, then deployment, then running it.
We don't do free audits. Someone who pays to learn the truth about their own company also acts on it. We stand behind the output even if you go no further with us. Deployment and running it are always two separate line items, and neither is billed by the day — you pay for the result. We give the price only after the audit, and we go through your specific setup before signing, so that we never guarantee the impossible.
Running it isn't a promise. The systems we've built we still keep running, and with some clients we've worked for years.
The audit starts at €600. A smaller company is one day of work, a larger one two to three; which it is, we say beforehand, not after. Remote by default and on site by arrangement, with a written report that stays yours even if you go no further. If you decide to go ahead, the audit fee comes off the deployment.
What you get on paper
- Where data enters the company and where it gets retyped by hand.
- How many of those places there are and how many hours a month they cost.
- What can be removed, and in what order, so that the first step pays for the second.
- What it will cost and what it will save.
- What we don't recommend doing, and why.
- The website and everything built for you is yours, and so is the data. You have your own repository and your own cloud account. The system that powers it we run, the same way you don't run your own cloud. When we part ways, the data comes out with you, the code is yours, and we'll help with the move to another supplier.
- The system and the language model both run in Frankfurt. We call the model through the European region, not the American endpoint, and it doesn't train on your data.
Kovrin
Order is held by a system of our own.
It's called Kovrin, it gathers a company's operations into one place, and we build it ourselves — so we can bend it to the way the company actually works.

Draft a reminderwaiting for your click
An example with invented data. There are no client data on this website and there never will be.
Yours is the last word
Nothing that leaves the company or touches money goes out without your click. The system can prepare and record, but it cannot send — no such tool exists inside it.
You ask in your own words
The answer knows your company, not the internet — it draws on your email, your documents, your jobs and your deadlines. It isn't a box you have to paste everything into first.
You plug it into your own tools
Kovrin's tools are available over the open MCP protocol, so you can ask straight from Claude instead of opening yet another application. Read and write they can; send out, they cannot.
The model, and what we put on top
The thinking runs on Anthropic's finished Claude model, called through the European region in Frankfurt, not the American endpoint. We don't build our own artificial intelligence.
Proof
Whatever the system does, it can back up with a sealed record that anyone can recompute without us. A sample report and the verifier are both there to download.
Every company has its own space
If a system can be asked about anything, it has to be clear how far it can see. One company's data is separated from another's. The code and the data are yours — your own repository and your own cloud account.

Before you get in touch
We'd rather say it now than have us both spend a month on it. We're not for you if:
- You want a website as a business card. Anyone will build you one cheaper and faster.
- You're after the cheapest quote. We won't be the cheapest.
- You want software, but nothing to change about the way you work. A system that copies chaos is more expensive chaos.
- The owner or a director won't be part of it. Without someone who can decide, it dies in the third week.
- You want to hand the project over and never hear from us again. We build things we run.
- You want to run it yourself from day one. The code and the data are yours, but running it is what makes us useful.
- You have an idea, but not an industry. A new company doesn't put us off — we build for companies that haven't sold a single unit yet. But behind the project there has to be someone who did that work by hand for years. A system is built on a process, and the process has to exist at least in someone's head, if it isn't in the company yet.
- You're five people or fewer. At that size Excel really is cheaper, and we'll say so straight.
- You want marketing, advertising or social media. We don't do it.
- You want to replace your accounting software. We'll leave you the one you have and connect to it.
- You need it within two weeks. We won't promise a date we can't keep.
- You'd like us to finish a system left behind by a previous supplier, without access to the code. That isn't finishing, that's archaeology at your expense.
What does it cost?
We won't quote a project off the top of our head, because we'd be lying. We give the price after the audit, in writing, and final. Deployment and the monthly fee for running it are always two separate line items, so you know what you pay once and what you pay every month.
Why is the audit paid for, when others do it free?
Because a free audit isn't an audit, it's a sales meeting. We put one to three days of work into it and we write down what we don't recommend you do. That can't be written for free.
Do we have to throw out what we already use?
No, and usually we don't even recommend it. We connect to what you have. If a new system isn't worth it, we'll tell you.
Which accounting systems do you connect to?
The one you already have. In Slovakia that usually means Pohoda; elsewhere we work to your system's own import format. We go through your exact setup in the audit, before signing, so that we never promise something that won't fit at your end.
Who is behind it
Stenvard is a new company. It isn't a new person.
Seventeen years of building systems for companies. Stenvard is what came out of that: one name that signs the contract, and one system that holds those jobs together. The earlier work it grew out of is at nkovalcin.com.
You're writing to the founder directly.We'll come back to you within two working days with whether we can solve it, or that we can't.

Sten is stone, varda is a stone tower. That's where the name comes from.
