Custom Software Development
Software that matches the way your team actually works.
Many businesses outgrow their software stack long before they admit it. The CRM has 12 abandoned custom fields. The ops team lives in spreadsheets. The integrations between systems are held together by a freelancer who left two years ago. Our software development engagements untangle this — replacing brittle workflows with focused, well-built systems that compound in value.
The patterns we see repeatedly.
- 01
Critical workflows live in fragile spreadsheets that only one person fully understands.
- 02
Off-the-shelf SaaS is being abused into shapes it wasn't built for.
- 03
You have a SaaS product idea and need a thoughtful technical partner to ship v1.
- 04
Two systems need to talk to each other and the integration keeps breaking.
Tangible deliverables, defensible work.
We document, we hand over, and we make sure the outputs live inside your business — not on a shelf.
Discovery & technical scoping
Workshops with the team that lives the workflow, a written problem statement, and a build estimate that survives contact with reality.
Architecture & data model
Database schema, API contracts, and integration map signed off before a line of feature code is written.
Iterative build
Two-week sprints, demo at the end of each, deployable from week 4. We build in plain TypeScript / Python / Go — no exotic stacks unless you ask.
Integrations
Clean adapters for Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, QuickBooks, Twilio, Slack, and the long tail — with retry, idempotency, and observability built in.
Documentation & handover
Living docs, runbooks, and a handover plan that makes a future engineer's first week productive.
What good looks like.
Engagements are measured by outcomes, not output. These are the kinds of results clients tell us about, often.
A workflow that no longer depends on one person remembering the magic incantation.
Hours saved per week per ops person, measured before and after.
Software your team actually wants to use, not just tolerates.
A codebase that can be picked up by your in-house team or another vendor.
Custom software development pricing
From a 2-week scoping engagement to a full SaaS v1 build. We work alongside your in-house team or as your full delivery team — your choice.
2–3 weeks: workshops, current-state map, written scope, phased delivery plan.
- Up to 3 stakeholder workshops
- Current-state process documentation
- Architecture + data-model recommendation
- Written scope with phased estimates
- Risk register + assumption list
8–20 weeks of iterative delivery — working software demoed every 2 weeks.
- Two-week sprint cadence
- TypeScript / Python / Go (your stack or ours)
- API integrations (Salesforce / HubSpot / Stripe / etc.)
- Living docs + runbooks
- 30 days of post-launch support
- Source code transferred at completion
Senior engineer embedded in your team — paired with your in-house developers.
- Full-time engineer on your stack
- Daily standups + your sprint cadence
- Code reviews + mentorship for in-house team
- Min. 3-month commitment
- Scale up / down with 30-day notice
Discovery is fixed-fee. Build is time + materials within a capped budget. Embedded is monthly per developer. You own all IP and source code from day one.
A staged, transparent engagement.
Engagements typically run 8–24 weeks for v1; ongoing retainers are available for evolution.
- 01
Scope
Two to three weeks: workshops, current-state mapping, and a written scope with phased delivery plan.
- 02
Build
Eight to twenty weeks of iterative delivery. You see working software every two weeks, not at the end.
- 03
Adopt
Rollout, training, and a 30–60 day support window where we live in your team channel and triage issues.
How do you estimate? Is it fixed-price?
Phase 1 (scoping) is fixed-price. Build phases are usually time & materials within a capped budget — flexible enough to handle real-world surprises, structured enough to stay accountable.
Will you work with our in-house engineer?
Yes — we frequently work as a paired team with one or two of your developers. Knowledge transfer is built in.
What about IP and source code?
You own everything from day one. Repositories live in your GitHub/GitLab from the first commit.
