The context

GENIKI THERMANSEON Group SA is an HVAC equipment distributor in Athens, Greece. Technical director Petros needed tools the market didn't offer: a standards-accurate hot water sizing calculator in Greek, a seawater temperature database for heat pump design, a logistics CRM that understands Greek carriers, and a company knowledge base that doesn't hallucinate.

Rather than wait for someone to build them, he built all of them — in production, with proper auth, proper tests, proper CI/CD. The tools run every day. Engineers use the DHW Calculator for real project submissions. The after-sales team uses the Knowledge Base to answer customer questions without calling the technical director every time. The logistics manager uses the CRM to track 178 carriers and draft quotes.

None of these were prototypes. The DHW Calculator has 138 unit tests. The Marine Platform runs a weekly GitHub Actions precompute job against the Copernicus ocean database. The Transport CRM has automated daily backups to GitHub Releases.

Why Aktis

Building all of this for a single company was unsustainable as a side project — it's now a separate offering. Aktis makes the stack, the patterns, and the speed available to other businesses that need tools built correctly and shipped fast.

"We don't sell you software we've never shipped ourselves. Every tool we offer is running in production. We know what it costs when software fails in a B2B context — because we've had that conversation with our own technical director."
