It isn't your usual SaaS with a pitch deck. It's an intranet we started building for our two studios — and which today we open to customers because we weren't the only ones who needed it.
We were paying a subscription for everything: Holded for invoicing, Factorial for HR, Notion for documentation, Calendly for scheduling, Asana for tasks, Toggl for hours, Mailchimp for newsletters… and a thousand more.
Each tool did its part — and nothing talked to anything. Six logins each morning, manual exports and crossed spreadsheets to know where you stood with a client. Costs climbed; so did the chaos.
Damos en el Blanco and Núvol Digital had collaborated on client projects before. One day we did the maths: the sum of all subscriptions was eye-watering — and not one tool fit us 100%. We decided to build it ourselves: a shared intranet for our two teams.
Accounting, projects, time-tracking, HR, internal knowledge. It wasn't a product. It was an in-house tool built the way we wanted — and it worked. Too well to keep to ourselves.
Three different customers asked us almost at the same time. An accounting firm, a consultancy and a school. That same month we decided to turn the in-house intranet into a product.
That's where Hexio came from: not from a pitch, but from a real tool, in production since 2023, that we now make available to the customers who ask for it.
Hexio is a balanced partnership: product, design and frontend live with Damos en el Blanco; backend, infra and AI live with Núvol Digital. No dependencies, no juniors.

nuvol.catThese are the calls we made on day one and still hold to. If we ever stop honouring them, you should call us out.
Generic libraries, tools and modules ship under LGPL/AGPL-friendly licences. The product layer itself is closed, but the ecosystem around it belongs to everyone.
Always. Exportable in standard formats (CSV, JSON, PDF) without going through our sales team. If you want to leave, you take it with you.
Servers at OVH and Hetzner (France and Germany). Never outside the EU. GDPR by default, not as a sales checkbox.
You can leave with your data in CSV/JSON whenever you want. No penalty, no permission to ask for. Our job is for you to stay because the tool serves you, not because you're stuck.
Damos en el Blanco is based in Barcelona. Núvol Digital, in Vic. The rest of the team is distributed across Catalonia and the Mediterranean coast.
We work with customers in English, Catalan and Spanish. The Hexio interface is available in all three languages (and French is on the way). If you need support at a specific time, we'll send a calendar with our available slots.
If you like the way we think and you reckon Hexio could fit what you need, get in touch. No high-pressure sales calls — just an honest conversation.
