Development studio · Torrelavega, Spain

Systems we operate
We wrote the software that sells into 235 countries.
Eolas Prints — the factory we came out of — checks out in 235 countries and territories and 112 currencies, with duties included inside the EU and collected at the border outside it. Simientes Infinitas sells heritage seeds into 27 EU markets on the same machinery. We do not ship anything: we built the systems that make it possible, and we watch them break and get fixed in production every day. It is the same system we build for stores that need to sell outside their own country.
Customs and duties
DDP/DAP and HS codes calculated at checkout, not on a spreadsheet afterwards.
Shipping labels
Every order prints its own label — multi-carrier, no address copy-pasting.
Logistics
Tracking, returns and customer notifications, with nobody firing them by hand.
Tax by country
Compliant VAT/OSS and invoicing in every market the store sells in.
How we work
From idea to production, with no surprises.
Tell us your idea
A 20-minute call or a WhatsApp message. No commitment.
Two-week discovery
Fixed price. It ends in a fixed quote and a plan — credited back if we build.
Build
Weekly demos on working software, not on slides.
Operate
Maintenance from €150/month, no lock-in. The way we run our own.
More than fifteen years building ordering, warehouse and traceability systems, and previously a principal architect at Oxford Nanopore Technologies (UK). It is the same problem we solve here, at a different scale — from a bar that opened in 1928 to platforms with thousands of users.
Frequently asked questions
What people ask us before we start.
What will my project actually cost?
The “from” prices above are real. The two-week discovery (fixed price) ends in a fixed quote — that figure is the final one, and the discovery is credited back if we build.
Why you rather than an agency or a freelancer?
Because we operate what we build. SomosTorre, our own store and the rest of our work are our systems running in production — not deliveries that get abandoned. A freelancer hands over and leaves; an agency bills hours. We answer for keeping it running, with maintenance that has no lock-in.
Do you work with town councils?
Yes. SomosTorre is the civic platform for Torrelavega and we are used to the rhythms of local government: electronic invoicing, tender documents and deadlines. Tell us your case and we will tell you how we would approach it.
What happens after launch?
Maintenance from €150/month with no lock-in: monitoring, backups, updates and small improvements. We run our own platforms every day — yours gets the same treatment.
What is this about showing up in ChatGPT?
More and more customers ask ChatGPT or Google before they buy. We structure your site so AI assistants understand it and recommend it — our own store already gets customers referred from ChatGPT.
Technical notes
Notes from the workshop.
Where to start when digitalising a production line
Almost every industrial digitalisation project that goes wrong goes wrong on the order, not the technology. It starts with what can be seen — sensors, screens, a dashboard — and leaves for later the thing that makes any of it useful: being able to attribute a reading to a specific batch. This is the order we recommend, and why the reverse gets expensive.
7 min →Will your custom system comply with Verifactu?
The Verifactu date has been postponed twice and now sits a year and a half behind the original. Expecting it to move again is reasonable, and it is the first objection we get. Here is the argument for not waiting anyway: the obligation has not been repealed, only moved, and the work required to meet it is work that is usually worth doing on its own. The people with a problem are those invoicing from a custom build, a store wired to an ERP, or an integration somebody wrote years ago — where no vendor is responsible for adapting it.
8 min →Nobody maintains the software you already paid for
It is one of the most common calls we get at Eolas Labs: the system works, the business depends on it, and the person who built it has stopped answering. Software does not wear out from use — it wears out because the world around it keeps changing while the code stands still. Here is what breaks first, in what order, and what we check before taking on something we did not write.
