Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Rose Development works fully remotely with clients across Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States, and beyond. All projects are managed online — we use written communication as the default, with video calls scheduled when needed. Time-zone differences are handled by agreeing on an overlap window at the start of each engagement.

We build custom software from scratch for a single client — no products, no off-the-shelf configuration. This covers C# desktop and mobile applications (including Zebra rugged device apps), PHP web applications,  websites and booking systems, 4D database applications, and REST API development. We also take on graphic design and commercial photography commissions independently of software work.

We do not take on existing codebases to fix, maintain, or refactor. Every engagement starts clean, with a defined scope and a blank slate.

Yes — logistics is one of our core specialisms. We have been building logistics field software and reservation & booking systems since 1990. Our current logistics work includes writing Android mobile applications in C# for Zebra rugged devices: driver apps and warehouse pick apps used in transport and fulfilment operations. We integrate with platforms like TransportMaster (a logistics software company and long-standing client) where the project requires it.

We understand the operational realities of logistics — offline connectivity, glove-hand UI constraints, shift handovers, and hardware-level barcode scanning via the Zebra EMDK SDK.

On the software side we work in C, C++, C# (.NET), PHP, JavaScript, and 4D. Mobile logistics applications are built in C# for Zebra TC-series Android devices. Web applications and booking systems are built in PHP, typically on a custom framework, hosted on Apache 2.2 (macOS) or Windows IIS. Graphic design work is produced in the Adobe Creative Suite. Photography is shot on professional Nikon and Hasselblad systems with post-production in Hasselblad Phocus and Photoshop.

Under Dutch law — specifically the Auteurswet (Copyright Act) — the creator of a work retains intellectual property rights unless ownership is explicitly and in writing transferred to another party. This applies to source code, photographs, and graphic designs produced by Rose Development.

Clients receive a right of use for the deliverables they commission. Transfer of full intellectual property ownership requires a separate written agreement and is discussed and agreed on a project-by-project basis before work begins. Payment alone does not constitute a transfer of IP rights.

Every project is scoped and priced individually through discussion — we do not publish rate cards or package prices. Pricing depends on the nature and scope of the work. After an initial conversation about your project we provide a written proposal with a clear scope and price. Contact us to start that conversation.

Every engagement starts with a discovery conversation to understand what you actually need — not a sales call. We ask questions, review any relevant context, and come back with a clear scope and honest assessment of what can be delivered within your constraints.

Work then proceeds in short, regular cycles. You see real progress — not status updates — and can redirect if priorities change. We communicate asynchronously by default. At the end of every engagement you receive documentation, working deliverables, and a handover session if needed. We do not disappear after delivery.

Where a project requires it, yes. We have experience integrating with third-party platforms via REST APIs, webhooks, and file-based exchange formats. A recent example is EMS (courier) integration in a PHP booking system. Integrations are scoped as part of the broader project — we do not take on standalone integration work as a separate service.
