Custom software development

The application your business runs on, when nothing off the shelf fits.

Custom software is justified when your business has a rule the market's tools ignore — and working around it costs you every day. We have been building this kind of application for sixteen years: healthcare facility management, a multi-agency property platform, e-commerce back offices. What they have in common is not the technology; it is that people use them daily as their actual job, and that they cannot go down.

The method

How we work

  1. 01

    We start from what costs you time

    Not from a fifty-page specification. We look at the real work, the spreadsheets going round by email, the manual re-keying — that is where the return is.

  2. 02

    We ship a useful first scope, fast

    A version your teams actually use, rather than a mockup they comment on. What you learn from real use cannot be obtained any other way.

  3. 03

    We iterate with the people using it

    Short cycles, frequent releases, feedback acted on within the week. A project that disappears for six months always comes back beside the need.

  4. 04

    We test what breaks silently

    Calculations, business rules, data formats. A display bug is visible; a wrong amount or a date shifted by two hours is not, and costs far more.

  5. 05

    We stay after delivery

    Hosting, monitoring, fixes, new features. A supplier who disappears at handover leaves you with an asset nobody knows how to evolve.

What you get

Deliverables

  • check_circleThe application in production, on your domain, with its backups
  • check_circleThe source code, in a repository that belongs to you
  • check_circleAutomated tests on the business rules, run on every change
  • check_circleOperational documentation: how it deploys, where the data lives, who to call

Since 2026

The vendor was cutting off access: courses, materials and assessments would have left with the subscription. Everything was recovered, then put back in service on a platform the organisation owns.

Frequently asked questions

Custom or off the shelf?
Off the shelf first, genuinely. If an existing tool covers 90% of your need, buying and adapting it is cheaper. Custom is justified when the core of your business is precisely what those tools do not do — or when per-user subscriptions end up costing more than the development.
Who owns the code?
You do. The repository is handed over, and you can give the work to someone else. That is also in our interest: a client held in place by technical lock-in is not a satisfied client.
How long for a first version?
A few weeks for a useful scope, a few months for a tool that genuinely replaces what exists. We would rather announce a short first milestone and hit it than a distant date nobody ever hits.
