The spreadsheet that keeps
your business running.
Almost every company has one: a spreadsheet, a folder of forms or a tool meant for something else, that the whole process now depends on. It works, until someone is ill, a formula breaks or nobody remembers why column H is the way it is. At that point custom software is cheaper than muddling on.
When custom pays for itself.
The same data, entered three times
From quote to planning to invoice, by hand every time. Every retype is a chance of an error you only spot weeks later.
The standard package does not fit
You pay for eighty features, use six, and the very part that makes your business unique is not in there.
The process lives in someone's head
One person knows how it works. If they go on holiday it stalls, and nobody dares change anything.
Reporting costs a day a month
Pulling figures out of three systems, pasting, checking. While the answer could be on a screen every morning.
Growth means more people
Every new customer costs as much manual work as the last. That is buying revenue growth with salary costs.
The spreadsheet has become a risk
No permissions, no history, no backup anyone has ever restored. One wrong sort and the source of truth is gone.
The process first, the software after.
Get the real process
Who does what, where it stalls and what that costs per week today. Not how it is supposed to go, but how it goes. Part of the wish list usually falls away right here.
Discovery with a prototype
Five working days in which the core screens become clickable and the scope goes on paper, with a fixed price for the build. If building turns out not to be the smartest step, you hear that too.
Build in short cycles
A working version in a preview environment every week or two. You use it before it is finished, so wrong assumptions surface early.
Roll out and hand over
A pilot first, then everyone. With documentation, tests on the paths where money or data passes through, and the code in your repository.
- ✓One system instead of three places
- ✓Login with roles and permissions per user
- ✓Integrations with your accounting, CRM or planning
- ✓Reporting that is simply there
- ✓Repository and hosting in your name
The price depends on how much process is in it and how many systems have to hang off it. After a half-hour call you get an indication, and after Discovery a fixed number.
What does custom software cost?
Why not just use an existing package?
How long does it take?
Can it connect to our current systems?
What if we want to maintain it ourselves later?
We already built something with an AI tool. Does that count?
Tell me what you
want to build.
A half-hour call. You get an honest answer about what it costs, how long it takes and whether building it is smart at all.
