Custom application development
A custom application is software built around your process: an internal system, a client portal or a replacement for an Excel file that has outgrown spreadsheets. We deliver a working MVP in production, with documentation and training. Delivery time: from 8 weeks.

What we build
Excel replacement
When several people edit a sheet, the data drifts apart and nobody knows which version is valid.
Internal systems
Orders, stock, approvals and records that live in e-mails and spreadsheets today.
Client portals
Bookings, documents and order status without phone calls and e-mails.
PWAs and mobile apps
For people who work in the field and have no computer at hand.
When a custom application pays off
- The company runs on an Excel file with macros that one person understands.
- Off-the-shelf software covers only part of the process and the rest is workarounds.
- You pay licences for features you do not use.
- Your way of working is a competitive advantage you do not want to bend to a boxed product.
When it does not pay off
- A ready-made tool covers the process. We will recommend it.
- The problem is not validated yet. Start with analysis or a prototype.
- The project has no owner who can decide on features.
What is included
- Internal systems, portals, PWAs and mobile applications
- API integrations and real-time features where they make sense
- From prototype to production including deployment and monitoring
- Documentation and training so you are not locked to a single supplier
How it works
- Analysis and scope
We decide what the first version must do and what can wait.
- Design
Data model, screens and connections to other systems, before any code.
- Development in sprints
You see a demo every week and can change priorities before it gets expensive.
- Deployment and handover
Operations, monitoring, documentation and training for your team.
How much a custom application costs
A custom application starts from €4,500 excluding VAT. The price depends on the number of roles, connections to other systems and security requirements. We split larger projects into fixed-price stages, so after each stage you know what you have and what comes next.
Frequently asked questions
How much does custom application development cost?
It starts from €4,500 excluding VAT. An internal tool with one role and no integrations costs less than a portal with several roles connected to an ERP. You get a fixed quote within 48 hours of the call.
Will we depend on a single supplier?
We work so that you will not. You get documentation and training, and we use widespread technology such as Laravel, Vue.js and PostgreSQL that another team can work with.
When should Excel be replaced by an application?
When several people edit the sheet at once, the data drifts apart or invoicing depends on it. If one person uses it and it works, leave it alone.
What is an MVP?
An MVP is the first version of an application that solves the main problem and runs in production. It brings feedback from real users before you invest in more features.
