Custom Software Built Around Your Business

Tailor-made software that removes busywork, connects your systems and fits your processes, instead of forcing your team to fit someone else's product.

Custom Software Development

Frequently asked questions

10 answers about this service. More on the full FAQ page.

What is custom software, and when do I need it?

Custom software is built around how your business works. It's worth considering when you're stuck with spreadsheets and manual steps, or when off-the-shelf tools don't quite fit your process.

How is custom software different from off-the-shelf software?

Off-the-shelf tools make you adapt to them. Custom software adapts to you (your workflows, your data and your systems) so your team does less busywork.

How much does custom software cost?

We provide custom quotes only. There is no one-size-fits-all price for custom software. The cost depends on what you need, and we shape the scope to fit your budget. Tell us your goals and a budget range through the contact form or call (224) 457-0242, and we'll put together a quote built around you.

How long does a custom software project take?

It depends on scope. We design the smallest useful version first and deliver in stages, so you get working software early and it grows with your feedback. We'll give you a timeline with your quote.

What if an existing product is a better fit?

Then we'll tell you. Build-or-buy advice is part of our planning. We'd rather point you to an existing tool than build something you don't need.

Can the software connect to the tools we already use?

Yes. We connect accounting, CRM, e-commerce and other systems through integrations and APIs, so information flows instead of being re-typed.

Will my team be trained to use it?

Yes. Training and documentation are part of delivery, so your team knows how to use the software, and how it works.

Where is the software hosted, and is it secure?

We set up secure hosting in the cloud or on your own infrastructure, and test at every stage so releases are dependable.

Do you support the software after launch?

Yes. We provide fixes, improvements and new features as your needs change, and we'll agree the support level with you.

Can custom software grow into a product I sell?

Yes. If your internal tool could serve other businesses, see SaaS product development. We can take it from idea to a subscription product.
