We build custom business software for companies that stopped bending themselves around off-the-shelf programs. We make websites that get you found, and the networks that keep it all running. Twenty years of it, from Naples.
We answer the phone ourselves.

Bangherang was not born in a garage. It was born inside iTheritage, a Neapolitan publisher of travel guides. Not trivia: it is why one of our pages reads well and another does not.
Our teacher taught us, thirty years at Mondadori behind him. One thing only, but a good one: the rules of publishing did not change because a screen arrived. A hierarchy. Space that breathes. A line of the right length.
Before him we made wide, sprawling websites like everyone else. After, we stopped filling and started laying out: you can see it in the work, and on this page too.
We start inside a publishing house, bringing the rules of print to the web.
From websites to the programs that run companies. Some of those clients are still with us.
Seven people in Naples. And the same starting idea: make business simpler.
People who write software do not climb ladders to mount access points. People who pull cable have never seen an electronic invoice. You know how that ends: two suppliers blaming each other, and you in the middle. We do the whole loop.
A program cut to fit how you work. Not the other way round: you should not have to learn one built for somebody else.
A still shopfront is no use. You need a site that comes up on Google when someone searches for what you do, right now, on a phone.
The warehouse covered end to end, the office properly connected, and internet where they swear it will not reach.
A business system is not pretty or ugly: it is clear or confusing. The difference is not the colour of the button — it is having decided what the person opening that screen at seven in the morning needs to read first.
That is why design here does not arrive at the end. It is the first move, and it comes from print: the same rules that served a travel guide serve a warehouse screen.
And when it is needed off the screen too, we do that: a logo, a catalogue, a price list, a sign, a label. The same tools publishing uses, in the hands of people who use them for a living.
It is why one of our systems and one of our websites look made by the same hand: they are.
Running social media properly is a full-time trade: people living in it daily, answering comments at nine in the evening. We do something else, and we would rather do it well.
Anyone listing ten services is credible in none of them. We do three, and we have done them for twenty years.
But we do not leave you alone: we work with agencies who do social for a living, and we introduce you. You find the right person already there.
Better to be the only choice for one thing than a possible choice for ten.
We come and watch. Which spreadsheets really circulate, what ends up on a sticky note, where two hours go every Tuesday morning. Companies do not describe themselves in meetings: you see them by working.
Then we build one piece at a time, and each goes straight into use. Be wrong while it is cheap, not eight months in when it is expensive.
If the problem cannot be solved with software, we tell you before you spend.
# Nothing starts blind: first we look at # what WOULD have happened. dry run nothing written, just looking documents 1,284 ready to review 3 invalid VAT numbers Stopping. Fix the 3, then we go.
Anything touching invoices, stock or money runs empty first. It costs a minute and it has saved us from real trouble.
A pizzeria on a Saturday night has nothing in common with a warehouse at month end. Pick yours.
The finest software in the world is worthless if the Wi-Fi drops at the back of the warehouse. That part we do ourselves, with our hands and a ladder.
Production machines run by us: configuration, updates, background queues, monitoring, verified backups. Not rented and forgotten.
Our own mail server, with SPF, DKIM and DMARC set up properly. Because an invoice that lands in spam is an invoice that does not get paid.
Domains, certificates and traffic behind Cloudflare: filtering on unusual traffic, access rules, protection from automated attacks.
Per-role permissions on every field, a record of who changed what, external content sandboxed, rate limits on login attempts, credentials kept out of the source.
Cabling, equipment, warehouse printers and till devices connected to the system. Even when they sit behind the warehouse router.
One number to call. Whoever wrote the software is the same person who knows where the log file is at eight in the evening.
The work we care about most has no address to open. It is internal software: running inside companies from six in the morning, invisible from outside.
Below are the ones we can show. The others we show you in person.
An in-house CRM we are putting in Salesforce's place. Accounts, opportunities, price lists, bill of materials, built-in email client, tender module with AI analysis. Plus an engine that notices on its own when Salesforce renames a field, instead of filling the database with empty records.
A complete ERP: sales and purchase cycle, batch traceability, e-invoicing. Plus labels coming out of the warehouse printers driven by a server hundreds of kilometres away, with no VPN and nothing installed locally.
Public enrolment for the tennis school, with renewal priority applied by the system: it recognises the member, holds their place and time slot, and releases the rest only at the deadline. Online payments, a work queue for the office, different permissions for management and staff.
Entries from across Europe for the Regata dei Tre Golfi, the ORC Mediterranean Championship and the IMA MAXI European Championship. Every class with its own rules, on a form that configures instead of being rewritten.
Product datasheets are no longer laid out by hand: they come from the data. Change a value in the catalogue and the PDF regenerates, with the right layout and the right fonts.
Public data on qualified contractors is open, but built to be looked at one record at a time. We made it searchable by category, class, region and province, counting distinct companies rather than certificates.
A configurator that draws the shirt as you choose it: fabric, collar, cuffs, pocket, monogram. No catalogue e-commerce does this, because it has to be drawn piece by piece.
Eight of us, based in Naples. No switchboard, no ticket, no three desks to pass. You call, and the person who wrote that software answers.
We do not take on more work than we can follow. It is why some clients have been with us for fifteen years, and also why we leave some things to others.
Curious by trade. Networks, servers, engines, typography: anything with a logic inside that can be taken apart. He started with networks and never stopped, but what he really cares about is walking into a company and understanding how it works. He answers the phone even when he probably shouldn't.
The studio's name is his fault, and we are grateful. Pedantic to the point of exhaustion: he reads things three times, and the third time always finds something. Unbearable to listen to and essential to have.
He keeps running the systems that have run for years. Not the work people talk about at conferences. It is what separates a client who stays from one who leaves.
No exercises: here you learn on code somebody actually uses, with someone more experienced reading over it. Slower at first, much faster afterwards.
He has the rare gift of using a program the way nobody intended. He clicks where you shouldn't, types what nobody would, and finds things sitting there for months. Better him than a client.
He stands between the people who do the work and the people who write the code, which is exactly where projects fail. He asks many questions, until he is sure he has understood.
She brings the right people in, and more importantly stops the wrong ones: half the job, and the half nobody mentions. She also tells us when something we wrote makes no sense.
He comes from print and it shows. He draws logos, lays out catalogues, prepares screens before anyone writes them. He notices two lines are not aligned when nobody else had — and cannot leave them that way.
We have worked together for years, on the same projects, with the same people. Nobody gets swapped out halfway, and nobody inherits a job someone else started without knowing why it was built that way.
A project gets whoever it actually needs: if there is drawing to do, the designer is there; if there is a ladder to climb and an access point to mount, the person who does that for a living is there. Each to their trade, all on the same job.
Whoever answers the phone knows where your project stands without asking around. Not because we coordinate well: because there are few of us and we see each other every day.
And if a job needs a skill we do not have, we say so. We do not improvise it.
We get asked at every single meeting, without fail. And every time the name comes back mangled a new way: Bangherangh, Bengherang, Bangaran, Boomerang. We have heard so many that by now we root for the most creative one.
It comes from Peter Pan. It is the war cry of the lost boys — the ones who never grow up and go adventuring anyway. The idea was Ernesto's, who founded the studio together with Giampiero.
It sounds like a choice made by kids, and partly it is. But after twenty years of business systems, servers and cable to pull, that name is the one thing that reminds us daily not to take ourselves too seriously. The work, yes. Us, no.
And it is spelled with an h. We have given up: call us whatever comes out.
Our trade uses terms that mean nothing from outside. Here they are, with what they actually mean.
Every night the systems we look after do the boring things by themselves: data lines up, figures get checked, backups are taken.
If something is off, we know before you do. That is the difference between catching it on Tuesday and catching it at month end.
Operations that write to invoices, stock or accounts never run blind. The rule is simple and has saved more projects than any technical choice.
ReadA question almost nobody asks before signing, and the only one that matters three years later. What to look for in a software development contract.
ReadThe wall every web app hits when it has to talk to hardware on site. The answer is not a VPN, and it is far simpler than it looks.
ReadTell us what is not working in the way you work now. The first meeting is about whether it is worth doing anything at all: sometimes the honest answer is no, and we say so.
