Technologies in use
Since 2008 we have taken over systems that other providers no longer want to touch — and made them stable, secure and maintainable again. Whether it's a grown TYPO3 installation, a custom PHP application, a Ruby on Rails product, a native mobile app or an integration with enterprise systems such as IBM Watson or Microsoft Dynamics CRM: we take full technical responsibility — with clear contracts, transparent prices and language you can follow without an IT background. We work in English, Japanese and German.
One partner for your entire system
You don't need a separate provider for every technology: 20 years of project experience cover your system — from the website to the connection with your business systems.
Website, shop & content
TYPO3 (since 2008), Symfony, Laravel, WordPress, Drupal, Shopware/Magento, plus Ruby on Rails for applications beyond PHP.
Interfaces & apps for your users
Angular, VueJS, AlpineJS, StimulusJS and TailwindCSS on the web front end, plus native iOS and Android apps in Objective-C and Java.
Stable, secure operations
Server administration on Linux (Ubuntu/Debian) and Windows Server/IIS, containerisation with Docker, virtualisation with Proxmox and automation with Ansible.
Connecting your business systems
MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MSSQL and Neo4J, plus integrations with systems such as IBM Watson, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, single sign-on and message queues such as RabbitMQ.

A message from our CEO
“I founded QkSkima because I believe companies should regain full control of their systems — with European engineering quality and response times that a team in the UK alone cannot deliver. Our location in Japan makes that possible: while the UK sleeps, we work. We think in long-term partnerships, not one-off projects — and we stand behind every line of code we ship.”
Colin Atkins
Representative Director, QkSkima K.K.
Our team
Our development team consists of senior developers trained in Europe and Japan. That means European engineering quality and direct communication in English — combined with a time difference that turns your night into our working day.
Premium service around the clock
More than 20 years of project experience, including work for leading European companies, shape our standards: clean documentation, traceable deployments, security from the first line. Japan is nine hours ahead of the UK (eight in summer), so we work while your team sleeps — critical tickets aren't started the next morning, they're done by then.
The pursuit of excellence does not need justification.
How we work
Full responsibility
We don't pass requests on. Every request is handled directly by our team, without extra layers in between.
Transparent terms
Every plan has a clear price and clear conditions — before you order, not after.
Technology-agnostic
We don't tie ourselves to a single framework. What matters is that your system runs — whatever the stack.
Proven experience
TYPO3 since 2008, migrations from version 6 to 13 and projects for companies such as TRUMPF and TOPTICA — verifiable in our portfolio.
