Build

Custom software and SaaS

The system that doesn't exist yet, because your business is your own. Delivered in six-week iterations, each ending in a real production release.

What it covers

Line-of-business applications

Order management, production, field service, case files. What your spreadsheet does today, built solid.

Client and supplier portals

Give your partners direct access to their own data, instead of an email and a wait.

Process automation

Remove duplicate entry, manual chasing and file shuffling between two systems.

SaaS products

Turn in-house expertise into something sellable: multi-tenancy, billing, account management.

Application modernization

Take on an ageing application without throwing it all away — in slices, with no service interruption.

Integration with what you have

Your new application talks to your accounting, CRM and ERP. That's the baseline, not an extra.

What you receive

Concrete deliverables, yours to keep, usable without us.

  • An application in production, genuinely used by your teams
  • Source code in your own repository, from the first line
  • Technical and functional documentation, current at every iteration
  • Automated tests and a continuous deployment pipeline
  • Separate development, staging and production environments
  • Training for your users and your technical staff

How it runs

  1. Scoping

    Scope of the first iteration, mockups of the key screens, technical choices, schedule and billing milestones.

    1 week
  2. Iteration 1 — the core

    The heart of the need, in production. Usable, incomplete, real. This is where you learn what no workshop would have revealed.

    6 weeks
  3. Further iterations

    Each adds a functional area and ends in production. You can change direction freely between iterations.

    6 weeks each
  4. Handover

    Training for your in-house staff, final documentation, full transfer of access and environments.

    2 weeks

What it costs

$25,000 to $120,000

A genuinely useful first scope starts around $25,000. For a more contained need, a $2,000 starter package covers scoping and a first working prototype. The price is set per iteration rather than for the whole: you can stop between iterations, with no penalty and no exit fee. Amounts before GST and QST.

Frequently asked

Why not buy an off-the-shelf product?

Often that is the right answer, and we'll say so. Custom is justified when your process is a competitive advantage, or when no product covers more than 70% of the need without expensive contortions.

What technologies do you use?

We choose based on what you'll be able to maintain, not on what amuses us. In practice: .NET or Node on the server, React or Blazor on the client, PostgreSQL or SQL Server, Azure hosting. If your in-house team already knows something else, we align with them.

What if we change our minds mid-way?

Between iterations, you redirect freely. During an iteration we finish what was committed — that is precisely what makes it end in production rather than as an open building site.

The other services

The four pillars hold together. Most engagements combine two or three of them.

Structure

IT advisory and governance

We put things in order before we write code. Three weeks to know where you stand, what's blocking you, and in what order to act.

Connect

Cloud integration

Get your systems talking to each other, without locking you into a supplier. Migration, integrations, service continuity and cost control.

Hand over

Coaching and training

We measure success by the day you no longer need us. Team training, manager coaching, developer mentoring.

Thirty minutes to find out whether it's worth it

One call, no commitment and no sales deck. You describe your situation, we tell you honestly whether we're the right people.
