Porsche Austria
Case Study
We were asked to remove the manual communication steps involved in handling of Porsche Austria's breakdown roadside assistance cases, which are handled jointly with their partners ÖAMTC and Assist.

What we can help you with
Manual, analogue workflows are slow and easy to get wrong. Turning them into streamlined digital processes and tools saves resources, cuts complexity and reduces the likelihood of errors.
Experience
For more than 17 years we have built partnerships with companies around the world, helping them transform, build and establish digital processes and products so they can keep growing.
Strategy and innovation
We learn fast and dig into the detail. Working alongside our partners, we analyse their existing workflows and processes and design a digital twin built around their market-specific challenges, one that also opens up new opportunities.
Custom software
We carry the momentum from planning through to build, turning your vision into something genuinely useful and creating the tools you actually need. Find out more here.
Change management
Change means little without adoption. We work with your team on clear rollout and integration plans, so everyone involved understands the goals and sees the change as a positive one.
Ground control
After a successful launch we stay on, monitoring and maintaining everything we have built together, so you can move forward with confidence and focus on what's next.

What our clients say
See how companies experience working with us, from the first idea to a user-friendly digital solution.
DRVN and OR have worked together since the earliest days of DRVN, and the relationship our teams built made the collaboration feel as if we were one company. OR's team was extremely knowledgeable and helped us deliver a very complex rewrite of a legacy connected vehicle system.
OpenResearch proved to be an exceptionally capable and reliable partner on a forward-looking IT project. The cooperation was always positive and I am already looking forward to the next projects.
We are very pleased to work with OR in the implementation of experiments and pilots. I would especially like to emphasize how quickly and thoroughly the entire team works.

Frequently asked questions
The questions we hear most often.
What does OpenResearch do?
OpenResearch is a Vienna-based software engineering company. We design, build, and operate custom digital products, from mobile and web apps to backends, cloud platforms, data and AI solutions, and connected vehicle systems. We are not a body shop that ships code and disappears. We work as a long-term engineering partner, from the first idea through launch and beyond.
How do we start working with you?
It starts with a conversation. We learn what you are trying to achieve, then propose a sensible first step, often a short discovery or scoping phase that turns a rough idea into a clear plan, scope, and estimate before any large commitment.
How much does a custom software project cost?
Custom software has no fixed price, because no two products are the same. A realistic estimate comes out of a short discovery phase, where we clarify scope, priorities, and constraints. From there we agree on a model that fits, whether that is a fixed scope, a time-based arrangement, or a dedicated team. Talk to us and you get a grounded answer, not a generic number.
