Custom Business Software and Application Development

Internal tools, portals and workflow applications built around how your business runs.

01

Software built around how your business actually runs

Off-the-shelf software fits the average company. When your process is what makes you different, or when three tools and a spreadsheet are holding a workflow together, custom software is often the cheaper answer over a few years.

We are a custom software development company focused on business operations: internal tools, client portals, workflow applications and the integrations between them. We choose the lightest technology that will do the job, from low-code platforms to fully custom code, so you are not paying to maintain more software than you need.

What we build

  • Client and partner portals

    Secure portals where clients submit requests, upload documents and track status.

    • Role-based access
    • Document upload and storage
    • Status tracking and notifications
  • Internal tools

    The admin panels, trackers and operational tools your team uses every day.

    • Built for your workflow
    • Fast to change
    • Replaces fragile spreadsheets
  • Workflow applications

    Approvals, scheduling, field work and case management as proper applications with an audit trail.

    • Web and mobile
    • Automated notifications
    • Full history of every change
  • Integrations and APIs

    Your systems connected so data moves on its own, with APIs where you need to expose your own.

    • CRM, ERP and accounting
    • Webhooks and scheduled sync
    • Custom APIs
  • Reporting built in

    Dashboards on the data your application captures, so reporting is not a separate project.

    • Operational dashboards
    • Exports for finance
    • Alerts on exceptions
  • Yours to own

    Code, data and documentation handed over. No lock-in to us.

    • Source code and documentation
    • Your cloud accounts
    • Optional support retainer

Choosing the right way to build

Low-code (AppSheet, Power Apps) for fast internal tools on existing data
Google Workspace and Apps Script when your team already lives in Google
Full custom code (Python, JavaScript) for portals, scale and complex logic
Integration first, when the systems you have just need to talk to each other

Custom software questions

Custom software or an off-the-shelf product?
Buy when a product fits your process at a reasonable cost. Build when your process is a differentiator, when you are paying for several tools that each do part of the job, or when licence costs grow faster than your team.
How much does custom software cost?
It depends on scope far more than technology. We scope the first version tightly, give a fixed price for it, and build further only once it is in use.
Who owns the software?
You do: code, data and documentation, in your own accounts.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. Most of what we build connects to systems a business already runs, rather than replacing them.
