Chrome Apps &
Extensions

The browser is the modern operating system. Cloud Captains builds powerful custom extensions and applications that integrate your business processes directly into the browser. From small workflow accelerators to complete system integrations.

Chrome Apps & Extensions

Why custom development in the browser?

Many business processes take place in the browser, but often fragmented across different tabs and applications. With a custom Chrome Extension, we build the bridge between these islands. We can display information from one application (e.g., LinkedIn or a supplier portal) directly, or save it to your own system (ERP/CRM), without the employee having to copy and paste.

Technical Capabilities

preview

Contextual Information

Display relevant data from your database in a side panel based on the page the user is visiting. For example: show customer details as soon as an email from that customer is opened in Gmail.

web

DOM Manipulation

We can add buttons, banners, or fields to existing third-party websites. For example, add a "Save to CRM" button to an external webpage.

api

API Integrations

Connect the browser directly to your backend systems via REST or GraphQL APIs. Retrieve real-time stock status or push orders directly into the system.

auto_mode

Automation

Automate repetitive web tasks. From automatically filling in forms to scraping specific data for reporting.

Use Case: Recruitment Accelerator

The Problem

A recruitment agency worked extensively with LinkedIn and their own ATS (Applicant Tracking System). Recruiters spent 30% of their time retyping data from LinkedIn into their own system.

Our Solution

We developed a Chrome Extension that automatically recognizes when a recruiter is on a LinkedIn profile. The extension checks via an API if the candidate already exists in the ATS.

trending_up The Result: A floating "Add to ATS" button that reads all profile fields and puts them into the database with one click. Time saved: 12 hours per recruiter per week.

Frequently Asked Questions

Security is our priority. We build according to the "Least Privilege" principle (access only to what is strictly necessary). Additionally, the extension can be configured to work only within your corporate domain.

No. We publish corporate extensions as "Unlisted" or "Private" in the Chrome Web Store. They are then only visible and installable for users within your own Google Workspace environment.

Yes! Because Microsoft Edge runs on the same Chromium engine as Google Chrome, our extensions almost always work seamlessly in both browsers.

This varies greatly. A simple button starts from a few hours of development, while complex integrations with authentication (OAuth) and APIs are a project in themselves. We always agree on a fixed price beforehand.

Websites and APIs change. If LinkedIn changes its layout, the extension might need an update. We offer maintenance contracts to ensure continuity.

Certainly. PWAs are websites that behave like apps (installable, offline use). This is an excellent alternative if the functionality is not specifically browser-bound.

Hi, I'm Patrick. I'd love to look at repetitive tasks within your organization. Often, a simple extension is enough to save hours of work.
