Welcome to the family: The Vienna-based software company ExpressFlow is joining the LEAN family. As LEAN-Forge the company is now the center of expertise for cloud, web, and mobile applications, product development, integration solutions, and CRM systems.

A success story

After six months in Silicon Valley, Martin Vasko was clear: "I want to bring the 'productive startup spirit' from the Valley to Austria!". Shortly thereafter, ExpressFlow emerged as one of the most innovative software companies of its time.

The core team focuses on modern technology stacks and application areas: TypeScript, Swift, Kotlin, Scala, and Java are used to provide programming services for Austria's economy and industry in the fields of web, mobile, and cloud. Additionally, work on the company's own product portfolio began from the start.

Merger with LEAN-Coders

After several years of collaborative work on various projects, ExpressFlow and LEAN-Coders decided to join forces. "Our portfolios complement each other perfectly into a larger whole. Through the merger, we offer our clients even more comprehensive services, says Christoph Ott, CEO of LEAN-Coders.

In collaboration, the LEAN group now offers the complete spectrum of modern software technology: From frontend applications based on web and mobile with high-quality user interfaces, to associated backend and hosting options, to seamless integration solutions with our clients' IT systems, such as SAP, Salesforce CRM, Hubspot CRM, or custom software, our clients now receive everything from a single source.

The merger comes with a name change and rebranding. ExpressFlow becomes LEAN-Forge.

Full Stack, Cloud, Enterprise Integration, and CRM

The core competencies in the service sector lie in modern business applications and app development - including mobile development.

A focus will be placed on system integration. "Complex, holistic solutions are necessary in B2C to meet the ever-changing expectations. The system landscape of our clients must be adapted accordingly, and various systems need to be interconnected. This is where we come in, with high expertise in the architecture of integrative solutions to best orchestrate entire business processes across multiple software systems.", explains Robert Wimmer-Holocher, CEO and Head of CRM & Integration.

Product portfolio

The software forge can already boast high-quality products:

Especially in conjunction with classic service projects, the software products offer an ideal synergy:

"The ability to use our products in a larger context with all other services from LEAN-Forge and LEAN-Coders strengthens the entire group's portfolio. If data needs to be securely transmitted from the internal CRM system to clients, SecureBeam is the perfect solution.", says Martin Vasko, CEO and Head of Products & Research.
