Custom software and web applications
Sometimes the system you need does not exist. Then we build it, shaped around the way you already work.
What this is about
Off the shelf is cheapest when it fits. The problem starts when you have to reshape the working day to suit the software, or pay for fifty features to get access to the one you needed.
We build booking systems, customer portals, internal admin systems and tools that solve a problem no standard product covers. You own the code when we are done, and you are free to run it yourself.
Off the shelf
The licence covers fifty features. You pay for all of them, use three, and still miss a fourth.
Built for you
Six parts instead of fifty, and every one of them is there because somebody actually needs it.
Does any of this sound familiar?
If the answer is yes to one of the points below, there is usually something to gain.
- 01
The spreadsheet has become a system
It grew into something critical without anybody deciding it should, and now nobody dares touch the formulas.
- 02
You pay for a lot you do not use
The licence covers fifty features. You use three of them, and still miss a fourth.
- 03
Nothing off the shelf quite fits
The working day has been shaped around the software instead of the other way round, and everyone has their own workaround.
- 04
Customers keep asking where things stand
A portal where the customer can see their own case removes a good share of the questions that otherwise arrive by email.
What you get
We always start with a review that costs nothing and commits you to nothing. You are free to say no afterwards.
- Scope and estimate before we start
- Built in pieces, so you see progress along the way
- Source code and documentation. You own all of it
- No lock-in through licences or contracts you cannot leave
Questions about custom software
01
What is custom software?
Software built for one company's needs, rather than sold ready-made to many. It might be a booking system, a customer portal, or an internal tool that replaces a spreadsheet that grew too big. It follows the way you work, instead of you having to adapt to it.
02
When is custom worth it over off the shelf?
When no standard product fits without workarounds, when you pay licences for a lot you do not use, or when the system is part of what sets you apart from competitors. If something off the shelf fits well, it is usually cheaper, and then we say so.
03
Do you do application development?
Yes, for the browser. We build web applications that work on a computer, tablet and phone without installing anything from an app store, which makes them easier to roll out and update. Native mobile apps for the App Store and Google Play are not something we make.
04
What does custom software cost?
The price follows the scope, and you get an estimate before we start. We build in pieces, so you see progress along the way and can adjust the direction before everything is finished.
05
Who owns the code?
You do. You get the source code and the documentation, and you are free to run and develop it further yourselves or with someone else.
Shall we look at what takes time where you are?
Tell us briefly how you work today, and we will say honestly whether it is something we can solve. Including when the answer is no.
