We make websites, configurators and dealer portals for made-to-measure products. We work out the maths of your product with you, write the code ourselves and pass each order to your ERP ready for production.
2D and 3D configurators that only show options you can actually build for the chosen size and material, work out the price on the spot and pass the order to your ERP.

Let's talk about this →Shopping that flows from cart to checkout without a hitch. Stores that talk to stock, shipping and accounting.
Let's talk about this →SaaS products, customer portals, internal tools. From the first sketch to the first user.
Let's talk about this →Portals where dealers place orders, check their balance and get things done without calling you.
Let's talk about this →The design layer of every project: interfaces in sites, stores, products and portals that understand what users want and never wear them out.
Let's talk about this →We connect orders, stock and prices from your website to your ERP, so nothing is re-entered by hand. If you use SOLIDWORKS, DriveWorks also produces the production drawings and bill of materials automatically. We bring 20+ years of experience across ERP systems.
Let's talk about this →Five steps. Same order, every project. We trust method, not hunches. Everything we measure in the last step becomes the first input of the next round.

Work designed and coded in our studio. New pieces appear here as they ship.
They offer only options that can actually be built, based on dimensions, materials and technical limits.
As choices change, the price and the technical summary are calculated instantly.
Product dimensions, drawings and catalogues come from a single source, never copied by hand.
An enquiry from the site arrives in the system your team works in as ready-to-use data.
As the dealer enters dimensions, the product is redrawn instantly in the browser, with dimension labels shown on the model.
Each dealer sees only their own quotes and the terms assigned to them; all calculations run on the server.
Each quote goes through approval, becomes a pre-order and produces a dimensioned PDF quote sheet.
525Lab is the studio's workshop. Calculation engines, configurators and tools are developed here and connected to client sites through 525lab.com.
A small sample of the calculation logic we build into websites. Change the floor height, the width or the plan. The steps are recalculated and the price and dimensions update.

This is a sample flow, no data goes to a real ERP. In real projects it can be passed straight to the ERP you use.
If not, even better. Most of our work starts with "is this even possible?", and we answer it with a working prototype.
We don't dress up ready-made themes. Every project is designed and built from the ground up around its own problem.
The unseen parts of the code are craftsmanship too. We check security, speed and data accuracy before anyone asks.
Going live isn't the end. We own the work like our own product, measure it and keep improving it.
It all started with an early morning hour: 05:25.
The city wasn't awake yet. Offices were closed, meetings hadn't started, and no one had said "this is how it's done." That's when an idea is at its purest. No one has drawn its limits yet, and it doesn't have to fit any template.
525 was founded for the ideas born at that hour.
5-2-5 reads the same from start to end and from end to start. Whichever end you look at the work from, you should find the same care: the promise made at the start still holds at delivery.
Between the two fives stands a two. On one side is the person who brings the idea, on the other the studio that brings it to life. At 525, work takes shape in the middle, together. Nothing is ordered and handed over; it is built together.
That's how the Romans wrote 525. So we left a small reminder in the corner of our footer: good craftsmanship is nothing new. Only the tools change. We try to give pixels the care a master mason gave to stone.
Because a number makes no claims and fits no mould. Words like "digital", "technology" and "solutions" are in the names of thousands of companies. 525 is like a blank canvas; our work decides what it comes to mean.
That's also why the 525 on our home page isn't static. It changes with where the sun is and what the weather is doing in whichever city you're visiting from. To us, 525 is a clock: the clock of those who start the day early to make something new.
525: Starting the day early to build what hasn't been built before.
You do not have to start with a big project. We can begin with a short piece of work with a fixed price and timeline.
We work out your product's rules, size limits and pricing together. After ten days you have a working prototype for one product.
We look at your site's speed, accessibility, how it shows up in search and its language setup. Then we hand over a list of what to fix first, in order.
Every site we build is multilingual, including right-to-left languages such as Arabic.
A product without precedent, a website that steps outside familiar moulds, or a business process that has waited years for a solution. Share your idea in a few sentences, and let's map out the road ahead together.
Tell us your idea, your need or the problem you want to solve, and let’s build it together.
Share as much as you can about your project. It helps us ask the right questions in our first conversation.
Your project has reached us. We’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
