Custom applications for the processes generic software can't handle
We design and build software around the way your company already works. We run our own tools in production every day, so we know what happens when a system fails with a customer waiting.
Your process turned into software, with the code in your name.
When your company runs in spite of its software
- Your team retypes the same data from one program to the next because none of them talk to each other.
- The key process in your business lives in a spreadsheet that only one person understands.
- You pay for licences full of features you never use, and the one you need is missing.
What a custom application includes
Analysis of the real process
We walk through the work step by step with the people who do it, document the exceptions and agree in writing what goes into the first version.
A prototype before any code
Your team tries the key screens before development starts. Changing a flow at this stage costs very little.
Web and mobile application
Separate interfaces for each profile: office staff, people in the field or end customers. Users, roles and permissions are there from the start.
Integrations with your systems
We connect to invoicing, bookings, WhatsApp or physical devices through APIs or webhooks. If a system offers no connection, we explain the alternatives and their limits.
Reliability in production
Activity logs, error alerts, backups and checks on critical actions. We apply all of this to our own online check-in, messaging, cleaning management and smart locks with active code verification.
Full handover
Code repository, technical documentation, user guide and data export in standard formats.
The MAPS method applied to your application
Map
We analyse the process, the data, the users and your current systems. We find where time is lost and which errors cost money.
Activate
We build the highest-impact part first and put it in the hands of real users. How they use it decides what comes next.
Position
We make the application the place where that work gets done: we migrate the data, train your team and retire the spreadsheets and steps it replaces.
Systemise
We track usage and errors, automate whatever is still manual and improve the application through small, controlled releases.
A good fit if
- You have a process of your own that no standard program covers well.
- Your team re-enters data across systems several times a day.
- A mistake in that process costs you money or embarrasses you with customers.
- You will use the tool for years, so owning it makes sense.
Not for you if
- A standard program already covers your process. If so, we will tell you to use it.
- Your process changes every week and you are still working out how it should run.
- Nobody in your company can spend time defining and testing the tool.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a custom application cost?
We work to a custom quote. The price depends on the number of screens and user profiles, the integrations and the level of reliability the process demands. You get it phase by phase, excluding tax, once we have analysed your case.
How long does development take?
It depends on the scope of the first version, the integrations and how quickly your team signs off each delivery. We give you a phased plan once we have finished mapping the process.
Who owns the code and the data?
You do. We hand over the full repository, the documentation and a data export in standard formats. If you change supplier, another team can carry on without starting from scratch.
Who maintains the application after delivery?
That is your call. We can take it on under a maintenance agreement covering security, dependencies, bugs and improvements, or your team or another supplier can run it using the documentation we deliver.
Can it connect to the programs I already use?
If they offer an API, webhooks or data export, yes. We check this while mapping the process, before we quote, and we flag any integration that depends on a third party's terms.
What real experience do you have building software?
We have our own tools in production for tourist accommodation: online check-in, automated WhatsApp messaging, cleaning management and smart locks with active code verification. We use them every day and maintain them ourselves.
