Lightnet automates recurring work with PowerShell, connects systems via API, and builds lean tools when standard software does not fit.
We build targeted tools: exactly what solves the bottleneck – nothing more. The result: tools you still understand two years later.
It starts with a conversation about the actual workflow: which data flows between which systems? Where do duplicate entries, copy-paste chains, or manual checks happen that could run automatically?
Then the right solution is built: a PowerShell script as a scheduled task, a background Windows service, an API integration between two systems, a WordPress plugin, or a small desktop app with a database.
PowerShell is the sharpest tool for anything around Active Directory, file systems, reporting, and scheduled workflows.
User provisioning from CSV, password resets, group memberships, Microsoft 365 licence assignment, automatic deactivation on exit. Onboarding in minutes instead of across several consoles.
Bulk processing: rename, move, archive by age, unzip, convert, set NTFS permissions. Runs once scheduled, not manually every week.
Daily or weekly email reports: backup status, disk usage, failed logons, expiring passwords. Visible instead of invisible.
Time-based routines via Task Scheduler: nightly archiving, weekly exports, monthly cleanups. With logging and failure notifications.
For always-on logic we build small Windows services with a clear purpose – stable, observable, maintainable.
Custom .NET or PowerShell-based services for always-on logic: folder watching, inbound file processing, continuous sync between systems.
Automated sending of status reports, warnings, and summaries. Incoming mail as a trigger for downstream steps, e.g. invoice filing in SharePoint.
Exchange between CSV, Excel, SQL Server, MySQL, APIs, and legacy systems. Clean error handling instead of silent failures.
REST APIs, webhooks, and classic import/export flows as a clean bridge between accounting, CRM, ERP, webshop, and internal tools.
Connections to accounting (Bexio, Abacus), CRM (HubSpot, Pipedrive), ERP, webshop (WooCommerce, Shopify), and other systems with clean auth (OAuth, API keys).
Customers, products, orders, invoices aligned between systems – one- or two-way, with a clearly defined master system.
Real-time reaction to events: a new order triggers a notification, a paid invoice updates the CRM, a stock movement triggers replenishment.
For later maintenance and extension: endpoints, parameters, expected responses, failure modes. So the next developer understands what is running.
When the team needs a clear, recurring tool that no standard software covers well.
Typical examples: an internal inventory manager, a customer database with field mode, a job-reporting app for construction sites, or a configurator for product variants. Built as a lean Windows app that does its job – and nothing else.
Database backend per scope: SQLite (local), SQL Server, or MySQL. Multi-user capable, with clean permission logic, automatic update mechanism, and logging for diagnostics.
When the website needs to do more than display content – custom functionality instead of plugin sprawl.
Custom plugins, custom post types, WooCommerce extensions, theme adjustments. A clean solution instead of 30 plugins that block each other.
Multi-step forms: configuration, ordering, application with file upload, contact forms with validation and automatic forwarding into CRM or SharePoint.
Login-protected areas with roles: document downloads, order history, support tickets, and group-specific price lists per customer segment.
Custom software is not a monolith – the individual parts can be combined exactly where they fit.
REST, SOAP, CSV exchange and webhooks between ERP, CRM, shop and line-of-business software – cleanly documented.
Windows tools in .NET/C# for specific workflows that standard software cannot cover cleanly.
Multi-step forms with validation, file upload and forwarding into CRM, SharePoint or by email.
Services for automated imports, exports, scheduled processes and integrations – running quietly in the background.
Migration, synchronisation and interface jobs for Excel, CSV, XML, JSON, SQL and line-of-business systems.
Custom plugins, custom post types and WooCommerce extensions – a clean solution instead of plugin sprawl.
As soon as a task is recurring, has several steps, and is error-prone, automation pays back quickly. Rule of thumb: if the same clicks happen every week in the same order, that belongs in a script.
Usually not. Often a PowerShell script, a Power Automate flow, or an API integration between the systems you already have is enough. We only propose a custom tool when existing paths truly do not work.
Yes, if a documented API or an import/export path exists. Bexio, Abacus, HubSpot, Pipedrive, WooCommerce, and Shopify all have REST APIs. We check up front which data is available and what is realistically automatable.
No. The code belongs to you, is documented, and uses standard technologies where possible (PowerShell, .NET, WordPress, SQL). You can continue operations in-house or with another provider if you want.
That is exactly why we build small and maintainable. Extensions are planned as the next step – not anticipated as theoretical flexibility nobody ever uses. That keeps the solution understandable and the cost in check.
Yes. Smaller adjustments, new requirements, or fixes happen either on time and material basis or under a maintenance agreement. The solution is not simply handed over and forgotten.
We review where automation and integration will have the strongest effect without making your stack harder to maintain.
