App development in Linz: from concept to operations
Rotax TRAX makes kart telemetry usable with an app, a device and an AI coach. For your company, we bring together product design, development and operations with a dedicated team based at Neue Werft (our headquarters in the Port of Linz).
At Ahoi Kapptn!, app development in Linz means working with an experienced local team that supports your product from the first sketch through to operations. We have 13+ years of experience building digital products. Our company has 20+ people, with expertise in product design, iOS, Android, web and backend.

App development in Linz with short lines of communication
Our headquarters is at Neue Werft, Industriezeile 35, 4020 Linz, in the Port of Linz (Linzer Hafen). This is where our team works, and where you can discuss requirements, designs and technical decisions with us in person.
For industrial and mid-sized companies in Upper Austria (Oberösterreich), what matters is whether an application fits into existing processes. That's why we clarify early on with your IT and business departments who will use the app, what data it needs and which systems need to be connected. In-person meetings and ongoing digital collaboration complement each other.
If you're looking for an app agency in Linz, with us you meet the team that will then deliver your project. Find out more about our people and responsibilities at Ahoi Kapptn! as a company. Want to help build products yourself? Explore our jobs.
Apps for industry, mid-sized companies and sport
We develop mobile applications together with the systems behind them, tailored to how you'll use them and to your existing processes.
Industry and technical products
When an app works with devices or technical data, usability and data flow have to fit together. We combine mobile development, backend and product design, as with Rotax TRAX.
Mid-sized companies and internal applications
For customer services or internal tools, we first clarify the specific workflow. Then we decide which features are needed on mobile and how the application works with your existing systems.
Sport and digital platforms
In sport, content, data and different audiences have to come together. Our work for LASK (the Linz football club) shows how several areas of a club can share a common technical foundation.
From Linz for Upper Austria and beyond
Platforms, apps and telemetry, developed at Neue Werft.
Rotax and LASK: from a specific problem to a product
For Rotax, we make complex kart telemetry understandable. For LASK, we bring four websites together on one shared web platform.
Rotax TRAX: data drivers can work with
For BRP-Rotax, based in Upper Austria, TRAX connects an app and a device with an AI coach and a Driver Score. Drivers can compare their performance and get concrete tips. The product has been on the market for six years. The community has covered more than 50,000 kilometers, plus 40 challenges. Here, AI is part of a shipped product.
LASK: four websites on one technical foundation
Along with its new branding, LASK received a web platform for its men's teams, women's teams, the Raiffeisen Arena and its football academy. Design, CMS and technical structure are shared. The departments maintain their own content independently. In the first month after launch, the website reached over 125,000 users and around 200,000 page views.
Industrial companies from the region, such as KEBA, are also among our clients.
How scope, timeline and budget become predictable
We start with a free, no-obligation intro call and then, in a compact fixed-price discovery, create the plan for scope, timeline and budget.
You don't need a finished requirements specification for this. Bring your goal, the most important processes and any known technical constraints. Together we clarify which first version makes sense and which decisions need to be made before development.
After that, we work with a monthly team retainer. You know the month's costs in advance, while the scope stays flexible. A dedicated, experienced team supports you from the first sketch through to operations.
If you're looking for app developers in Linz, the time after release matters too: maintenance, further development and responsibility belong in the project plan. Whether native iOS and Android apps or Flutter or React Native is the right fit, we decide based on your requirements. For software development in Linz, we also treat web, backend and interfaces as part of the product.
AI from Linz
We develop AI for products and processes, including fully on your own hardware if cloud AI isn't permitted in your industrial operation.
Rotax TRAX shows AI inside a product: the AI Coach shows drivers which corner is costing them time. We have also successfully brought an AI phone assistant and MCP workflows for proposals and administration into production. These workflows save around 100 hours per month in sales and administration. Our CTO Philipp Jahoda is responsible for the AI systems we put into production for clients.
For industrial companies in Upper Austria that block public AI services, Local AI on your own hardware offers a different way to operate: the language model, document search and connectors run within your own company network. There are no external API calls and no per-user license fees. Answers cite their sources. We clarify with your IT which documents and systems get connected.
Whether AI makes sense in your app or in an internal process is something we discuss based on the task. Our overview of artificial intelligence shows what's possible.
Our headquarters at Neue Werft
This is where our apps, platforms and AI systems are built.

Frequently asked questions about app development in Linz
Costs depend on the scope of features, platforms, interfaces and operating requirements. After a free intro call, we work out a solid plan for scope, timeline and budget in a compact, fixed-price discovery. We bill development as a monthly team retainer whose costs you know in advance.
A reliable duration follows from the agreed scope and the technical dependencies. In discovery, we plan the first version and clarify interfaces and the decisions that are needed. That way, you get a timeline before we write any code.
We clarify data flows, roles, permissions and hosting requirements before implementation. EU hosting and on-premise are possible ways to operate. With Local AI, language models and document search run entirely on your hardware, without external API calls. We agree on the specific setup with your IT and your data protection officers.
Ahoi Kapptn! continues to support products after release with operations and further development. The dedicated team stays involved from the first sketch through to operations. Together we define which maintenance and operating services your project needs.
A free, no-obligation intro call is enough to get started. Describe the problem, the target audience and your existing systems. A compact, fixed-price discovery then lays the foundation for development.
Yes. Our headquarters, with the team on-site, is at Neue Werft, Industriezeile 35, 4020 Linz, in the Port of Linz. We also have an office in Vienna and can work together digitally. If you're looking for an app company in Linz that coordinates with you in person, you can meet us at our headquarters.
