Custom software development: platforms, portals and APIs
We build platforms, portals, APIs and internal apps with the same engineering we apply to systems that serve hundreds of thousands of requests a day: an architecture built to grow, automated tests and documentation from day one.
When your operation no longer fits in spreadsheets or per-seat licenses
There are two typical symptoms. First: critical processes in spreadsheets that five people edit at once without knowing which version is right. Second: off-the-shelf software that charges in dollars per user, doesn't adapt to how you work, and forces you to keep a layer of manual work around it.
The risk of custom software isn't the code: it's ending up with a system only its author understands. That's why every project ships with automated tests, repeatable deployments and documentation, with the code owned by your company. And if what you need already exists off the shelf, we tell you before building it.
What we build
- 01
Platforms and APIs
The core system of your operation and the APIs that let customers, partners or other systems connect, designed for the volume you'll have, not just today's.
- 02
Back office and internal tools
Management systems, quoting tools and approval flows built around your process, not the other way around.
- 03
Back office and dashboards
Management systems, quoting tools, approval flows and up-to-date dashboards, built around your process and not the other way around.
- 04
Apps for the field, the warehouse and service points
Mobile and kiosk apps for your team in the field, in the warehouse or at the point of sale, connected to the systems you already use.
- 05
Maintenance and new phases
We stay on after delivery: updates, security patches and the next phases when the operation calls for them.
Your company owns the code from day one, and we sign an NDA before the first technical meeting.
How we work
1 · In the diagnosis
Understand the process
We measure the layer of work around the current tool (hours, people, errors) and write the process on one page. If it doesn't fit on a page, there's nothing to build yet.
2 · Fixed proposal
Scope and budget
We define the smallest piece that has to be built, what integrates with what you already have and what it costs to maintain. You get a fixed proposal with scope, cost and timeline.
3 · Weekly sprints
Build and deliver
Weekly deliveries you can test in a real environment. You see progress working, not a status report.
Is it right for your company?
It's for you if…
- You run critical processes in spreadsheets or on a system nobody dares to touch.
- You pay per-user licenses in dollars for software that doesn't fit your operation.
- Your edge lies in how you do something, and no off-the-shelf tool allows it.
It may not be for you if…
- You want a template website or a standard online store: we don't build template sites.
- The process is still being invented: it's better to start with a cheaper configuration or automation, and build once the rules settle.
Frequently asked questions
How do you decide whether to build or buy?
With four questions: whether it's what makes you win, how long you've been fighting the tool, whether the process is stable, and who will maintain it next year. If the answer is to buy, we say so even if we lose the project.
Is it cheaper than paying for SaaS licenses?
It depends on the number of users, how much you have to bend your operation to the tool, and who will maintain the software. We run the numbers with you: licenses and the manual work around them against the cost of building and maintaining. If the SaaS is cheaper, we tell you.
Do I own the code?
Yes. Your company owns the code from day one, and we sign an NDA before the first technical meeting.
Which languages and technologies do you work with?
The one you already use or the one that fits: PHP, .NET, Java, Python, Node, Go, Ruby, Delphi and others. For new builds we work with, among others, Node.js, Python, Java, React and PostgreSQL, deployed on AWS, Google Cloud or Azure.
Who maintains the system after delivery?
We put a number on maintenance before starting, not after. The answer to «who» has to be a name, not «we'll see»: it can be your team, us, or both.
