Map the whole system
We bring an outside eye to the process, the data and every stakeholder, not just the person who wrote the brief.
A development team built around Chartered Engineers, Chartered Accountants and Post-Docs
Business software, built with a team who understands your problem.
Macrocyra co-develops working prototypes and production systems with business teams. You know your process; we bring engineers, strategists and finance professionals with deep experience across industry, strategy and financial services.

Build the right thing
We help you build the right software, not just any software.
Most software does not fail because it is badly built. It fails because it solves the wrong problem, or adds friction instead of removing it. People often know what they want from their own perspective, which is not always the right solution.
Challenge the assumption
We test and reframe the initial idea before we build on it, so you do not pour months into the wrong thing.
Design for the people who use it
User-centred design from the start, so the software fits how people actually work and gets adopted, instead of gathering dust.
Work with us
Develop and prototype the software your business actually needs.
We work with industrial teams, PMOs, strategy groups and Mittelstand companies. We combine your knowledge of the process with our own experience in manufacturing, strategy and financial services, and turn it into working software, without forcing a large programme first. Often the real job is dataflow: getting the right data to the right place at the right time, instead of trapped in spreadsheets and copy-paste.
Co-development with the business side
You stay close to the problem, the decisions and the data. We bring cross-sector experience in strategy, operations and finance, and shape the software with you, challenging assumptions rather than asking for a frozen specification.
Prototype fast, harden what proves out
The first goal is a working system. When the idea proves useful, the same engineering discipline carries it into production.
Sector know-how, not just coders
Chartered Engineers from manufacturing, engineering and R&D, and Chartered Accountants from finance and markets. This is why we focus on these sectors: we understand the domain, its constraints and its language, so you are not explaining your world from scratch.
How it starts
A practical path from idea to working software.
Frame the real decision
We map the decision, the workflow around it, who acts on it and where the data lives today. We start from your reality, not a blank specification.
Build with you in the room
You see a working prototype in the first weeks, not slides. The business owner reviews continuously, so the software stays close to the real process.
Validate on real cases
We run it against real examples and the awkward edge cases. Where an assumption is wrong, we change the model instead of papering over it.
Harden to production
The parts that prove useful become maintainable software, with tests, CI/CD and a clean handover. Not a prototype you have to throw away.
How we engineer
Rapid, and built to last.
We run prototypes as proper engineering projects. Version control from day one, CI/CD pipelines we manage end to end, automated tests, infrastructure as code and observability. So you get software you can actually run and extend, not a demo that falls over the first time it meets reality.
Security and control
Your infrastructure, your security review, your approval.
We do the development; you decide where it runs. We deploy on-premise or with your approved cloud and hosting providers, build to your data-protection and security requirements, and hand over code your own tech and security teams can review and sign off. No lock-in, no black box for procurement.
Proof
Software we build and shape.
These are our own products, built with the same people and discipline we would bring to your project. Real software you can use today, not slideware.

Visit product InnovationFlow
Strategic innovation workflow software for roadmaps, portfolio choices, ecosystem mapping and AI-native strategy work.
Proof that deep strategy methodology can become structured, deployed software with clean data moving between tools.

Visit product Roadmapping Health Check
A diagnostic that scores roadmapping and innovation maturity across six dimensions. It measures each from three angles, perception, behaviour and capability, to expose the gap between what leaders believe and what teams actually experience.
Built with IfM Engage at the University of Cambridge. A 60-minute survey becomes an interactive report with prioritised, evidence-based recommendations.
Launching soon
Coming soon RuruPilot
Project management for teams that need more structure than spreadsheets and less ceremony than enterprise PPM suites.
A portfolio build focused on the space between planning, delivery and the financial reality of projects.
About
The people you would actually work with.
Macrocyra is built around people who can read the business problem, the technical system and the financial reality at the same time.
Founded by Dr. Clemens Chaskel
A Chartered Engineer with a Cambridge PhD in strategic roadmapping, a long connection to the Institute for Manufacturing, and over six years as CTO of an award-winning fintech. The methods and the shipping experience are both first-hand.
Germany and the UK
A team across Germany and the UK with decades of combined experience. You co-develop directly with the people who do the build, not a layer of account managers.
A network of specialists
Beyond the core team, we bring in design, sustainability and other domain experts when a project calls for them, so the right expertise is in the room for your problem.
