Having software built to measure!
when no package fits
At a certain point a standard package stops. You pay for nine features to use two, your process bends to the software instead of the other way round, and the most important step still happens in a spreadsheet on the side. That is the moment to have built what your business actually does.
What this covers
Customer portals, quoting tools, planning systems, case tracking, links between packages that do not know each other. Anything that runs in a browser and that your business leans on.
Built on Laravel, a widely used open framework: no licences, and any Laravel developer can take it over.
When custom-built is the right call!
- Your most important process lives in a spreadsheet
- You pay licences for features you never use
- You retype data between two packages
- Your customers call for information they could look up themselves
Calculate first, build after
We put the hours you lose today next to the cost of building. If no clear advantage comes out of that, we advise against it — we have that conversation more often than you would think.
Starting small
We build the piece that removes the most pain first and put it to use. What turns out to be needed next comes from the using, not from a three-month analysis.
Yours, not ours
The code, the data and the rights are yours. You are not locked to a supplier for something your business runs on.
How such a project runs!
Watching
Half a day beside the people doing the work. What the process is called on paper and what actually happens almost always differ.
Scoping
We write down what version one does and above all what it does not. That second list decides whether you stay within budget.
Building in pieces
Every two weeks you see working screens, not a progress report. Adjusting still costs nothing at that stage.
Going into use
Training for your team, data migrated, and close follow-up for the first weeks until it simply runs.
