The studio

Small on purpose, senior on purpose

ForgeIT is a Greek software house. We build web and mobile products, run the infrastructure under them, and stay responsible for both long after the invoice is paid.

Why we exist

Most software that Greek businesses run was either bought off a shelf and bent until it almost fits, or built once by somebody who has since moved on. Both end the same way: a system nobody fully understands, that everybody is slightly afraid of, and that quietly costs more every year it survives.

We started ForgeIT to do the unglamorous opposite. Read the problem properly. Choose a small, boring, well-understood stack. Write down every decision worth arguing about. Ship something usable in weeks rather than a reveal in months. Then stay on the hook for it.

The same standard applies to our own products. ManagoStores runs real stock for real companies, FisikoTherapyHUB runs real physiotherapy practices, Mathologio is open to every teacher in Greece, and Akinitaras keeps the record of real properties. The Invoice Portal, Radiopoli and Scoutaras are being built to the same rules, in the open, with the design decisions documented as we go — which is exactly why we can tell you how any of them work down to the schema.

A system nobody understands is a system nobody can safely change.

The short history

How we got here

  1. 2024

    ForgeIT is founded

    A software house with an opinion: Laravel on the back, one narrow stack, everything documented, everything bilingual.

  2. 2024

    ManagoStores goes live

    Our warehouse suite starts handling real stock in real warehouses — web plus the React Native companion, barcode-first from the first screen.

  3. 2026

    FisikoTherapyHUB goes live

    The physiotherapy platform reaches production, built around a hard privacy claim: the patient portal has no route to the clinical record, and no practice reaches a patient without consent.

  4. 2026

    Scoutaras on the anvil

    A scouting and professional network for Greek football and basketball, where verification is free and ranking is never for sale.

  5. 2026

    ManagoStores POS enters the testing zone

    An Electron desktop app that brings the suite to the shop counter and talks to the Greek cash register. It is being proved against real totals before it stands in front of a customer.

  6. 2026

    Radiopoli takes shape

    A platform for Greek radio: one app for listeners, a dashboard for the stations, and a rule we will not bend — the audio never passes through our servers. Trikala is the first market, then Thessaly, then the country.

  7. 2026

    Invoicing moves out into its own portal

    ManagoStores stops issuing its own invoices and starts posting them, machine to machine, to a portal built for nothing else. Every product we ship from here on issues through the same door — one implementation of the part that has to be right.

  8. 2026

    Akinitaras begins

    A property operating system for Greece: deeds, leases, rent, expenses, documents and maintenance in one record, with a health score that has to name every point it takes away.

  9. 2026

    Mathologio goes live

    A workspace for teachers reaches production at mathologio.gr: exercise bank, tests, gradebook, attendance and the student card in one place. It was built for data that belongs to children — no telemetry, no automatic labels on a student, and a blank grade that is never read as a zero. The phone and tablet app follows it to the stores.

  10. 2026

    Akinitaras goes live

    The property operating system reaches production at akinitaras.gr: ownership, leases, a rent ledger, a document vault and maintenance in one record, with separate portals for the owner and the tenant — and a property passport that does not take away a single point without saying why.

  11. Next

    Whatever should exist next

    We take on client work all year and start a product when we are convinced it ought to exist. There is room on the bench.

How we are set up

No account managers, no bench, no handover cliff

The people who scope your project are the people who write it. That is the whole organisational chart.

You talk to the builder

There is no layer between you and the person typing. Nothing gets lost being relayed, and nobody promises a thing the implementer has not agreed to.

Remote, EU-wide, Greek-anchored

Based in Greece, working across the EU. We are comfortable in Greek regulation and Greek accounting reality, which matters more than it sounds.

One narrow stack, deeply

We refuse work that would need a technology we do not know properly. It costs us projects and it saves clients from being someone's learning exercise.

We say no

If your problem does not need custom software, or the budget cannot carry the scope, we will say so in the first call rather than the fourth month.

Under the hood

What we build on, and why

Every choice here is defended by "we know exactly where this breaks", never by "it is new".
