“I have run companies for over 40 years and seen how business systems create more problems than they solve. When I got the opportunity to take over a proven web-based e-commerce system, I realized it could become the foundation for something completely new – a business system built by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs.”Jan Wilhelm GårdefeltFounder & CEO, Gårdefelt Systems AB
Our Journey
From 90s e-commerce pioneers to the future of business systems
Three decades of experience compressed into one system.
1985
The entrepreneurial journey begins
Jan Wilhelm Gårdefelt starts his first companies. During his career, he was nominated as Entrepreneur of the Year and recognized twice in Dagens Industri as an industrial entrepreneur.
1996
One of Sweden's first web-based e-commerce systems
Paul Kwiatkowski builds Dataparadiset – one of the first web-based e-commerce platforms in Sweden. Pioneering work that lays the foundation for everything that follows.
2000
Paths cross
Jan acquires Paul Kwiatkowski's webshop and platform. A completely new web-based business system begins development – already then with e-commerce and CMS as cornerstones.
2010
Hyab & the first 3D configurator
The business system is implemented at Hyab Magneter AB with a custom 3D magnet configurator. The quotation process is automated and quickly becomes profitable.
2024
Maxameter rebuilt from the ground up
Rebuilt with modern web technology, AI functionality, and new modules. Extremely skilled programmers merge with decades of experience.

Why Maxameter
Three reasons to choose us
History tells you what we are. This tells you why it matters.
Everything built in-house
No outsourcing. No third-party code in the core. Our own developers own and understand every part of the system – which means we can customise, debug and evolve in days, not months.
Proven technology, modern architecture
The core technology has been running in live industrial operation since 2010 at Hyab Magneter AB – 15+ years of real production data. In 2024 we rebuilt everything from the ground up with modern web technology and AI. You get the best of both worlds.
Manufacturers understand manufacturers
Maxameter is built by a serial entrepreneur with decades in manufacturing. We have experienced quote chaos, inventory errors and CAD round-trips first-hand – and solved them in code.
The Team

You speak directly with those who build the system. No intermediaries, no support queues.

What we believe in
Principles that guide everything we build
Built by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs
We understand the daily life of a manufacturing company. Maxameter solves problems we've experienced ourselves.
Tailored, never a standard template
Every installation is adapted to your business. The system adapts to you.
Direct contact, always
You speak directly with the developers. No support queues, no intermediaries.
Web-first
Completely web-based. No installation, no local server, access from any device.
