Why choose KERN IT: Building the digital core of businesses

Many people ask us: "What exactly do you do at KERN IT?"
The answer is relatively simple : we help companies achieve long-term, sustainable growth.

We design and develop custom digital solutions—business platforms, orchestrators, back-offices, and internal systems—which become the technological core of your company.

Our tools structure your processes, guarantee reliable data, and support your long-term growth.

Sustainability: our DNA and our Compass

For KERN IT, sustainability is not just a trend: it is a fundamental value.

It guides our technical decisions, our human relations, and our approach to digital technology.

• Technical sustainability, based on robust, maintainable, and scalable technologies.
• Economic sustainability, with systems that scale as you grow without the need for total rebuild.
• Human sustainability, cultivating strong relationships based on trust and continuous support.
• Strategic durability, ensuring every development is part of a coherent, measurable, long-term vision.

We believe that a good software is not to be judged by its immediate effect, but by its ability to last, evolve, and continue to create value.

Expertise across disciplines and sectors

For over ten years, we have partnered with businesses and organisations across a wide variety of sectors: real estate, telecoms, publishing, culture, foundations, tourism, education, energy, and more.

This cross-disciplinary experience is our strength.
It allows us to understand, model, and digitalise very different business models.
We have observed, tested, and learned what truly makes the difference:

“Finding the balance across vision, execution, and sustainability”

We know today how to help a company move from complexity to clarity, and to scale smoothly without getting lost in the technical details.

Representative achievements

Our approach : Design, Kernel Framework, Interconnections and Data

We don't deliver some isolated apps:
We build coherent digital ecosystems, based on a complete understanding of your business.

1. Design and user experience

Design structures our approach: it clarifies, simplifies, and makes every tool truly practical.
Good design is that which disappears behind efficiency.

2. Development based on Kernel, our Internal Framework

Our projects rely on Kernel, our in-house framework, which has been built upon several years of accumulated feedback.
It allows us to deliver faster, cleaner, and, most importantly, with more durability.
Kernel is the backbone of all our business platforms.

3. Interconnection et automation

We create open, interconnected systems, capable of communicating with your existing tools via reliable APIs.
Most importantly, we know how to use the right tool for the right purpose:

• Custom development for your competitive advantage
• No-code or low-code to speed up the basic needs
• And smart automation to streamline daily operations.

This flexibility allows us to combine performance, speed, and sustainability.

4. Data is our speciality

Data is the silent engine of all our platforms.
We collect, structure, clean, and make it actionable.
Our tech stack, centered on Python, PostgreSQL, and Elasticsearch, allows us to combine performance, precision, and reliability.
We transform your data into clear information, supporting better decision-making and growth.

Data is the silent engine behind all our platforms. We collect it, structure it, clean it, and make it actionable.

5. Research, innovation, and continuous improvement

Our internal R&D allows us to constantly explore new methods and strengthen our existing tools. This R&D enables us to integrate the right innovations — neither too soon nor too late—always with pragmatism and moderation.
