We turn one and launch our blog
Totbits Solutions turns one year old and launches its blog, sharing no-nonsense insights on building production-ready software, integrations, and AI.
Today Totbits Solutions turns one year old. We are celebrating with something we have wanted to do for a long time: a technical blog showing how we truly build software.
While our company is young, our engineering craft is not: behind Totbits are two engineers with more than a decade of experience each designing mission-critical systems for banking, insurance, and automotive sectors. Systems relied upon by thousands of active users every single day that cannot afford unplanned downtime. That background shapes everything we do at Totbits: how we architect systems to endure load, how we execute seamless zero-downtime migrations, and how we decide what not to build.
From our headquarters in Alcúdia, Mallorca, we apply these engineering standards to businesses and independent enterprises locally and internationally. Our work includes custom platforms such as the Almeebar ERP, our AI purchasing agent that parses and posts supplier invoices, and the BIT suite for project management, recruitment, and industrial maintenance.
What you will find here
We write about real engineering challenges we solve daily, backed by production code and concrete operational metrics whenever available. Our posts span two tracks:
- Business: tailored for technology leaders and executives deciding where to invest capital. Real-world automation economics, key questions before commissioning custom software, and pragmatic assessments of when artificial intelligence delivers real ROI (and when to avoid it). No hype, no buzzwords.
- Technical: written for software engineers and systems builders. Deep dives into architecture, third-party integrations, stack trade-offs, statutory requirements like VeriFactu implemented in code, and battle-tested lessons learned operating production systems.
To get started
We are launching the publication with five initial articles:
- Custom software or off-the-shelf product: how to decide without regrets: four practical questions to determine whether your workflow requires custom software or if existing tooling is sufficient.
- How much does it cost for AI to read an invoice (and how we cap it): how we track and constrain inference expenses and operator review time per document.
- Migrating a system with zero downtime: proven architectural patterns for replacing legacy platforms when maintenance windows are not an option.
- Django or Supabase: why our ERP and our apps use different stacks: the technical rationale behind choosing dedicated backends versus BaaS across different products.
- Digitizing a business in the Balearic Islands: where to start: practical guidance on sequencing software investments around seasonal peaks.
Thank you
To our clients who placed their trust in a focused, agile engineering team for high-stakes projects, and to everyone who has supported our journey so far.
If you have a complex software challenge or a legacy system that has outgrown its capacity, let’s talk. You will speak directly with the senior engineers leading the implementation.
