Custom Wiki Software for Businesses
Your corporate wiki for team knowledge management. Your branding. Easy to use. Custom wiki software instead of subscriptions. Based on the globally successful makandra cards, tailored to your specific use case.
Why Choose Custom Software Over a Subscription?
Standard corporate wikis are often overly complex.
- Overstructured
Content is overly categorized, making information hard to find. - Feature Overload
Too many unnecessary features, integrations, and platforms that increase costs but add no value. - Standardized Processes
Predefined workflows in standard software don’t match your unique business processes.
Overcoming the Limits of Standard Solutions
- Built for Generic Requirements
Your needs extend beyond simple knowledge documentation. - High Costs
Subscription models become prohibitively expensive as the number of users grows. - Encourages Chaos
Without clear responsibilities and editorial workflows, disorganization grows, reducing the wiki’s value.

makandra cards: Our Expertise in Wiki Software
Have you heard of makandra cards? This globally-used knowledge platform for topics like Ruby on Rails, DevOps, and hosting is developed, hosted, and enriched with valuable content by us.
Originally, makandra cards started as our internal knowledge database, where developers shared HOWTOs. At makandra, we believe in solving problems once and documenting solutions as part of our daily work. The result? Our team loved it, and productivity soared.
In 2010, we decided to share our knowledge with the public. The positive feedback from clients and the community was so overwhelming that we turned makandra cards into a web-based wiki software solution.

makandra cards combines the power of a wiki with the simplicity of a card-based system:
- Organize information with simple cards
- Attach files to cards
- Automatically group cards by topics
- Full-text search with “find-as-you-type” functionality
- Manage multiple decks and users
- Access your cards from any web browser

Problems We Solve
Subscription Costs Are Too High
Let us calculate whether custom software can save you money in the long run. With our extensive experience in developing corporate wikis, initial development costs are often lower than expected. After just a few years, custom development pays for itself, with costs arising only if you request further updates or enhancements.
Complex Structures Frustrate Your Team
Our wiki software is easy to use and avoids unnecessary complexity. This allows your team to find essential information quickly, while keeping the learning curve low. Start documenting immediately and create entries with ease.
High Support Efforts Are Draining Resources
Reduce the support burden for your complex products by sharing knowledge with your customers. Your corporate wiki can be set up to manage both internal and external documents. Internal documentation remains private for employees, while external documents can be shared publicly if needed.
When wikis are too structured, and blogs are too linear, consider makandra cards: the simplest yet most powerful tool for organizing your knowledge.
