Custom Software Development

Software built for the process you actually run — not the process a generic tool would force on you.

from €2,400

The Problem

The process works. Barely. Everyone on the team privately knows it's held together by a spreadsheet, an email chain, and one person who remembers the exceptions. No off-the-shelf SaaS tool fits the actual workflow, and there's no one in-house to build the alternative.

  • A "system" that's really three spreadsheets and a shared inbox, kept in sync by hand
  • A SaaS tool bent so far out of shape to fit your process that half its features go unused
  • The one person who understands the current process is also the bottleneck for changing it

What's Included

A workflow captured as it actually runs

not a generic template of how the software thinks a business like yours should work.

A data model built for your operations

the fields, relationships and permissions your process needs, not a repurposed CRM schema.

Role-based access control

the right people see and edit the right things, from day one.

Deployment to infrastructure you control or ours

your choice, stated in the specification.

Documentation your own team can actually read

not a generated API reference nobody opens.

Who It's For

Perfect for

  • Operations leads whose real workflow lives in spreadsheets and institutional memory
  • Non-technical founders whose back office has outgrown the tools running it
  • Teams that tried an off-the-shelf SaaS tool and are still working around its limits

Outcomes

  • A system that matches the process, instead of a process bent to fit the software
  • One source of truth instead of three spreadsheets kept in sync by hand
  • A system your team can extend later, because you own the code

Packages

TIER 01

Discovery Sprint

A written specification of what to build, before you commit to building it.

€2,400

→ 2 weeks · starts within 2 weeks

  • Structured workshops mapping your current workflow, end to end
  • A written specification: scope, data model, architecture, and a fixed build price
  • A prioritised list of what's in scope for phase one and what's deferred
  • A recommendation on build vs. buy for any component that doesn't need to be bespoke
  • One round of revisions on the specification document

BEST FOR Anyone who needs a real, fixed number before deciding whether to build.

TIER 02

Build Phase

The system built, in weekly increments, against the agreed specification.

from €14,900

→ 6–10 weeks · starts within 3 weeks

  • Full build against the Discovery Sprint specification (or a supplied spec of your own)
  • A working demo every Friday for the duration of the build
  • Role-based access control and a data model matched to your operations
  • Deployment to your chosen infrastructure
  • Source code, documentation and credentials, transferred on final payment
  • 30 days of post-handover bug-fix cover at no extra charge
  • New scope discovered after the specification is fixed (logged and priced separately).

BEST FOR Teams with a defined internal-tooling problem ready to move from spec to shipped system.

TIER 03

Scale Partnership

Ongoing senior capacity once the first system is live and the backlog keeps growing.

from €9,600/mo

→ Ongoing · starts within 2 weeks

  • A dedicated senior engineer (or pair) working your internal-tooling backlog

How This Engagement Runs

Survey

We map the workflow as it’s actually run today: who does what, in what order, and where the exceptions live.

Specification

The data model, permissions and architecture are written down, along with the fixed price for the Build Phase.

Build

Weekly increments, each shipped as a working demo against the live specification.

Verification

The system is tested against real workflow scenarios, not a generic test suite.

Handover

Source, documentation and credentials transfer to you on final payment.

Frequently asked

Is this the right page if I'm not sure whether I need internal software or a customer-facing product?
If the users are your own team — ops, sales, warehouse, back office — this is the right page. If the users are your customers, see Web Application Development instead.
Can I skip the Discovery Sprint and go straight to Build Phase?
Only if you already have a written specification we can build against. Most projects don't, and the Discovery Sprint's €2,400 is deducted from the Build Phase price if you proceed within 60 days.
What if the scope grows once the team sees it working?
That's normal. New scope discovered after the specification is fixed is logged and priced as an addendum — never silently absorbed, never silently billed.
Do you integrate with our existing tools?
Usually, yes — most internal systems need to talk to email, accounting software, or an existing database. Integration points are scoped explicitly in the specification, not assumed.

Stop maintaining the workaround. Get the system specified.
