INFOGRAPHIC · BUILD OR BUY?

Do you need custom software at all?

Honest answer: not always. Here's how we help clients decide — the highlighted path cycles through the three most common situations.

Does an off-the-shelf product fit how your business works?
YES, MOSTLY

Buy and configure

A good SaaS product covers 80%+ of your needs and your process is standard.

→ Use the product; we can add integrations
PARTLY

Extend a platform

A platform covers the core, but key workflows or reports are missing.

→ Build custom modules around it
NO

Build custom

Your process is your advantage, or per-user licences are getting expensive.

→ Custom software you fully own
INFOGRAPHIC · 5-YEAR COST

Custom software vs per-user subscriptions

Subscriptions start cheap but grow with every user. Custom software costs more upfront, then mostly support. Move the slider to see how team size changes the picture.

Your scenario

Custom (5-yr)$0
Subscription (5-yr)$0

Illustrative model only: custom = example build cost $60,000 + $12,000/year support; subscription = example $40 per user per month. Real costs vary — we'll model yours in a free consultation.

INFOGRAPHIC · WHERE THE TIME GOES

INFOGRAPHIC · RISK PREVENTION

Why software projects fail — and how we prevent it

The same few problems sink most software projects. Every one has a built-in safeguard in our process.

📝Unclear requirements
→
✓A paid discovery phase with user stories, wireframes and a signed-off scope before build starts.
🎈Scope creep
→
✓A prioritised backlog and change-request process, so new ideas are planned — not squeezed in.
📵Poor communication
→
✓A dedicated project manager, weekly demos and a shared board you can see any time.
🧱Technical debt
→
✓Code reviews, coding standards and documented architecture from day one.
🐞Not enough testing
→
✓Automated tests and QA in every sprint, plus user acceptance testing before launch.
🚪Vendor lock-in
→
✓Full source code, documentation and IP ownership handed to you.
INFOGRAPHIC · AGILE DELIVERY

Working software every two weeks

We build in short sprints. Every two weeks you see working software, give feedback and help decide what comes next — so there are no surprises at the end and priorities can change as you learn.

Designs come from our UI/UX team, releases run through automated pipelines set up by our DevOps engineers, and after launch our support team keeps everything running.

FAQ

Custom software questions

Straight answers to what clients ask us most.

What is custom software development?
Custom software development means designing and building software specifically for your business — your processes, users and data — instead of adapting your business to an off-the-shelf product.
How much does custom software cost?
Cost depends on scope: the number of features, user roles, integrations and platforms. A focused internal tool costs far less than a multi-platform product. We give a clear estimate after a short discovery call — request yours.
How long does it take to build custom software?
A focused first version often takes around two to four months, delivered in two-week sprints so you see working software early. Larger platforms are built and released in phases.
Do I own the source code?
Yes. You receive full source code, documentation and intellectual property ownership. There is no lock-in.
Can you modernise our existing or legacy software?
Yes. We audit the current system, then rebuild or migrate it step by step to modern, cloud-ready technology — often running both side by side to avoid disruption. See our cloud & DevOps services.
Who maintains the software after launch?
You can maintain it in-house with our documentation, or choose our maintenance & support plans for updates, monitoring, security and new features.
