Company history

Xpert-Design Software was found in 1999 by Andreas Spang. The first couple of years the main product of the company was BackupXpress, which sold all over the world. Besides BackupXpress a project time tracking tool named "Project Timer" was developed and distributed as freeware. In 2005 the company decided to rename the product to "Xpert-Timer", add multiple functions and start selling it worldwide. Since then, Xpert-Timer has grown significantly and serves over 1000 customers worldwide. The mobile version for Android was introduced in October 2010 and has sold over 1000 times worldwide so far. BackupXpress was taken off the market in 2010.
