INDEPENDENT SOFTWARE STUDIO · DÜSSELDORF

Software for the way your business actually works.

Mauna Labs builds practical software, automations and digital systems for small teams with workflows that off-the-shelf tools don’t fit. AI is used where it solves a real problem—not just because it is new.

01 / FLAGSHIP PRODUCT

A real operating system, built from real operational needs.

Mauna Suite brings the core workflows of an independent hospitality operation into one app. It is the product that shaped Mauna Labs’ approach: understand the work, then build around it.

MAUNA LABS · OUR OWN SAAS PRODUCT

Mauna Suite

Mauna Suite is Mauna Labs’ own commercial software product: one connected app for reservations, room turns, housekeeping, schedules, purchasing, guest communication and reporting. It was designed from an operating hotel’s needs and is used by Ewen’s hospitality business. Mauna Labs continues to develop and commercialize it for independent operators.

02 / SELECTIVE ENGINEERING WORK

Software and automation, scoped to a real business need.

Mauna Suite is the primary product focus. Alongside it, Mauna Labs takes on clearly scoped software and automation projects for German SMEs.

FOR OPERATIONAL TEAMS · FIRST STEP

Workflow Improvement Sprint

Choose one recurring admin workflow. Mauna Labs maps the current steps, checks the tools, access and data involved, then agrees a fixed scope, fee and schedule with you. The sprint delivers one tested automation or lightweight tool using existing software where it fits, plus handover notes and a team walkthrough. Larger integrations, third-party fees and replacing core systems are scoped separately.

FOR NEW DIGITAL PRODUCTS

Prototype Sprint: one journey, made clickable.

Five working days to shape one key user journey into a clickable prototype, with one feedback round and a written recommendation for the next build. Scope, schedule and fixed fee are agreed before kickoff. Production integrations or backend work are scoped separately.

Scope a Prototype Sprint↗
01

Custom software & web apps

Design and build practical applications around the way a team works, in focused stages.

02

AI implementation

Apply AI to bounded tasks when it improves speed or access, with human review and fallbacks.

03

Workflow automation

Reduce repetitive administration by connecting existing tools and testing one process at a time.

04

Systems integration

Connect the software a business already uses and document how the data and handoffs move.

03 / THE STUDIO

Built on real product and operating experience.

Mauna Labs is an independent software studio founded by Ewen Nowak, M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering. After building and operating a hotel in Mexico, Ewen created Mauna Suite when available products did not fit the property’s real workflows. The studio carries that same practical, product-minded approach into software and automation projects for other teams.

04 / A PRACTICAL WAY TO BUILD

Small enough to learn.
Real enough to matter.

01 — LISTEN

Understand the real need

Start with the people, the problem and the work happening today.

02 — MAKE

Build something you can try

Prototype quickly, then test it with real users and real feedback.

03 — SHIP

Put it into use

Turn the strongest idea into software people can rely on.

04 — GROW

Keep improving

Use what you learn to choose the next step, together.

HOW MAUNA LABS APPROACHES A BUILD

A useful solution starts with the work itself. Mauna Labs keeps the scope concrete, chooses technology for fit, and leaves the team with something understandable and maintainable.
