Custom Software Development – Tailored, Secure, and Enterprise-Ready
Off-the-shelf software covers most requirements—but not all of them. When your processes, systems, or compliance requirements go beyond what a standard solution can provide, we develop custom extensions to our platform that are precisely tailored to your system landscape.
With agriportance’s custom software development, you receive a tailor-made solution—from the initial requirements analysis through to production.
What solutions we can develop together
We develop customized software for complex energy, biomethane, and sustainability processes—particularly where market regulations, registries, certificates, and established system landscapes intersect.
Possible areas of application include, for example:

Here's How We Create Your Custom Solution
Our development process provides structured support from the initial idea through to ongoing operations—and integrates seamlessly with the agriportance platform.
-
Discovery
Together, we determine which processes need to be mapped, which systems should be integrated, and where the greatest opportunities for efficiency and revenue growth lie. Upon request, we’ll conduct a joint scoping workshop at your location to define the scope and governance of the project.
-
Requirements Analysis & Security Concept
We develop the architecture and access concept—in a structured and secure manner, in accordance with the principles of ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 9001. Your data is protected throughout the entire development process.
-
Prototype & Development
You’ll receive a functional prototype (proof of concept) early on, which we’ll iteratively refine together with your team into a complete solution.
-
Rollout & Ongoing Operations
After implementation, you and your team will test the solution (User Acceptance Testing) before it goes live. During the subsequent hypercare phase, we provide intensive support for the launch—including rapid troubleshooting and evaluation of your feedback. As part of ongoing application management, we continuously maintain the solution: maintenance, bug fixes, and ongoing protection against new cybersecurity risks.
Your Benefits at a Glance
-
Enterprise Integration & Reconciliation: We seamlessly integrate your customized solution into existing ERP, CRM, ETRM, and CTRM systems—for example, to automatically trigger the appropriate certificate transfer (GOs/PoS) in your registry following the completion of a trading transaction.
-
Organizational Data Segregation: Sensitive customer data requires clear boundaries. To ensure this, we rely on Microsoft Purview and maintain a strict “Chinese wall” between the team working on your customized solution and the rest of our company—particularly with regard to our own brokerage and trading activities.
-
Enterprise-Level Security: Hosting takes place in Azure data centers within the EU with guaranteed data residency—your customer data is stored and processed exclusively within the EU. Upon request, an isolated, dedicated tenant or a deployment within your own Azure subscription is possible. All data flows are encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256), supplemented by network isolation (Private Endpoints/VNet) as well as backup and recovery processes with defined RPO/RTO targets.
-
Traceability: Every action in your customized solution is logged and can be uniquely attributed to a single user—ensuring complete access and audit logs.
- Certified Processes: agriportance is ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 9001 certified. We operate in accordance with the principles of the GDPR and ISO/IEC 27701. Our software development follows a secure development lifecycle (Secure SDLC) that includes vulnerability scans and code reviews.
- More than just efficiency—greater revenue potential as well: A clear, automated overview of available quantities and qualities helps you identify and capitalize on additional marketing opportunities. We also monitor relevant regulatory changes on your behalf and adapt your solution accordingly to ensure you remain compliant at all times.
- Personal support from experts: You benefit not only from the software but also from our team’s in-depth expertise in the biomethane and energy markets—for all questions regarding architecture, compliance, and operations.

General
-
agriportance is a specialized platform for biomethane and LCO₂ and offers sustainable product solutions. We support companies along the entire biomethane value chain – from brokerage and certifications to GHG and mass balance calculations as well as training and consulting. All services are coordinated and available from a single source.
-
Our services are aimed at companies along the entire biomethane value chain – including biogas plant operators, gas network operators, energy suppliers, industrial companies, traders, as well as companies that want to reduce their GHG emissions, procure biomethane and LCO₂, or implement sustainable product solutions.
-
Yes. Our services are scalable and tailored individually to the requirements and resources of your company – regardless of company size.
Brokerage of biomethane and LCO₂
-
We connect producers, traders and buyers of biomethane and LCO₂ and support the entire brokerage process – from initial contact and contract structuring to successful completion.
-
After an initial needs analysis, we identify suitable suppliers from our network, support negotiations and assist with contractual arrangements. This gives you access to certified biomethane that meets your requirements.
-
LCO₂ (liquefied CO₂) is produced as a by-product during biogas upgrading and can be used industrially – for example in the food industry, agriculture or technology. The use of LCO₂ contributes to resource efficiency and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
GHG accounting
-
A greenhouse gas balance (GHG balance) records and evaluates all climate-relevant emissions along a process or product – from production to use. It is often a prerequisite for certifications and regulatory compliance.
-
A GHG balance is required, among other things, if you want to market biomethane as a renewable fuel, pursue sustainability certifications or provide proof within the framework of the European Renewable Energy Directive (RED II / RED III).
-
Our GHG calculations are based on the current regulatory requirements of RED III as well as the specifications of the relevant certification systems (REDcert², ISCC, SURE). We document all calculations in a transparent and audit-proof manner.
Sustainability certifications
-
We support certifications according to the three leading systems in Germany and Europe:
- REDcert – for biomass and biofuels
- ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) – internationally recognized, for various feedstocks and supply chains
- SURE (Sustainable Resources Verification Scheme) – recognized for biofuels and biomass under RED II / RED III
-
A certification proves that your products or processes meet legal sustainability requirements. It is often a prerequisite for marketing biomethane as a fuel, for accessing funding programs and for counting towards national greenhouse gas reduction quotas.
-
A gap assessment is a preliminary analysis in which we compare your company’s current status with the requirements of the respective certification system. This allows gaps to be identified early and closed in a targeted manner before the official audit takes place.
-
The duration depends on your company’s initial situation, the chosen certification system and the certification body. Experience shows that you should plan three to six months for an initial certification. We ensure through structured preparation that the process is as efficient as possible.
-
We also support you during annual surveillance and recertification – including documentation maintenance, preparation for follow-up audits and ongoing communication with the certification body.
Mass balancing
-
Mass balancing is a method for tracking material flows – for example biomethane within a gas network. It ensures that the sustainability characteristics of a product can be documented and transferred along the supply chain without having to physically track quantities directly.
-
Yes. For the marketing of biomethane as a fuel and for eligibility for greenhouse gas quota accounting, a compliant mass balance according to RED III or the respective certification systems is mandatory.
-
Yes. We take care of the complete setup, maintenance and documentation of your mass balance system – audit-proof and ready at any time.
Training and consulting
-
We offer practical training on the following topics:
- fundamentals and functioning of biomethane
- sustainability certifications (REDcert², ISCC, SURE)
- greenhouse gas accounting and mass balancing
- regulatory requirements (RED III, BImSchG, GEG)
- internal audits and certification preparation
-
Our trainings are aimed at specialists and managers in the fields of energy, sustainability, compliance and procurement – both beginners and experienced professionals who want to update their knowledge.
-
Yes. In addition to our standard trainings, we provide individual consulting – for example in developing a biomethane strategy, optimizing existing processes or preparing for regulatory changes.
-
We offer both – digital formats (webinars, online workshops) as well as on-site events at your location or at our premises.
Webinars
-
Our webinars are live digital formats held at scheduled times with a focus on current topics – open to all interested participants. Specialist seminars, on the other hand, are more intensive and last several hours. Webinars are ideal for quickly gaining an overview and engaging in discussion with our experts.
-
We offer free webinars.
-
Yes. All registered participants receive the recording by email afterwards. This allows you to review the content flexibly and use it as a reference at any time.
