Custom Software Development

There is no single price, because each application is built around how a company actually works. Cost is driven mainly by the number of features, how many user roles there are, integrations with other systems, the platform (web or mobile) and security needs. The fairest way to start: tell us the process, we map it out, then send a written breakdown of what is and is not included. We also suggest building in phases, so you can try the result before continuing.

Off-the-shelf software is quick to start and cheap upfront, but you adapt to the software. Custom software works the other way round: it is designed around your process, can connect to the systems you already run, and grows with the business. If your process is fairly standard, off-the-shelf is often enough, and we will say so plainly. Custom makes more sense when your process is unique, you need to control your data, or subscription costs keep growing.

Usually when the same data is retyped in several places, approvals are scattered across chat and email, reports are always late, or key knowledge lives in one person’s head. If several of these sound familiar, it is a good moment to map the single most painful process first, without overhauling the whole company at once.

Look at relevant work, and check that they explain the problem solved, not just the look. Ask who actually does the work, what the process is, how changing requirements are handled, who owns the code and data, and what happens after launch. Be wary of a price far below other proposals with no breakdown. Feel free to ask us the same questions.

It depends on scope. A simple application can take weeks, while a system with many roles and integrations takes months. That is why we build in stages: each stage produces something you can try, so the benefit shows up earlier.

This should be written clearly in the agreement from the start, including access to servers, domain and code repository. Your business data is yours, and you are entitled to know where it is stored and how it is backed up.

Applications need care: security updates, fixes and adjustments as the business changes. We agree the scope of support at the start, so there are no surprises later.
