Management
Custom management tools and ERP
Contracts, budgets, approvals, invoicing: your rules written into the software, not kept in someone's head.
Custom business software · growing companies
Custom software, built around the way you work.
We design and build the business software of companies that run on a lot of data: your rules, your access rights, your tools connected to each other. And we maintain it over the long run.
When custom makes sense
Four signs your current tools no longer carry your business.
- 01
Your teams retype
Exports, PDFs, photos, from one tool into another. Every week, the same motions.
- 02
A spreadsheet is the reference
It travels by email, there are three versions of it, and only one person knows how it works.
- 03
Off-the-shelf software can't keep up
You bend to the tool, with files around it to fill the gaps.
- 04
Your partners need to step in
Suppliers, customers, field staff: they need to enter, approve or sign, and see only their part.
If the spreadsheet that everyone relies on sounds familiar, read the seven signs Excel is no longer enough.
What we build
Business applications, from field data entry to the dashboard.
Portals
Supplier and customer portals
Your partners work in the same tool as you, with strict access rights.
Field
Mobile apps
Data entry in the field, even offline, without ever losing a record.
Reporting
Dashboards and analysis
The answer to "where are we?" kept current, without rebuilding a file.
Integrations
Connections to your tools
Accounting, ERP, CRM, e-signature, supplier files: data flows without retyping.
AI
AI built into the process
Document reading, checks, reminders. A person only decides the doubtful cases.
Concrete examples, sector by sector: four business applications in production. For your sector: retail. AI has its own page: AI wired into your processes.
Custom or off the shelf?
Custom software or packaged software: how to choose.
Off-the-shelf software is often the right choice, and we will tell you so during the workshop. Custom software is justified where the way you work is specific, and only there.

How we move forward
You see your software run before you commit.
- 01
2-hour workshop
We find where you are losing time, and you leave with your gains map.
Free - 02
The free prototype
On your real data, in one week. You judge it for real.
You only pay if you keep it - 03
Development and go-live
In short iterations, then maintenance over the long run.
Fixed price
Your questions
What we get asked before a custom software project.
On budget: what drives the cost of custom software.
“How much does custom software cost?”
The price depends on your business rules, the tools to connect, access rights, data migration and the switchover, far more than on the number of screens. We do not quote without scoping: after the workshop, you get a fixed price that will not move.
The detail is in our article on what drives the cost of custom software.
“Why not buy off-the-shelf software?”
When an off-the-shelf product fits the way you work, take it: we will tell you during the workshop. Custom software is justified where your processes are specific, and only there.
We can also keep your tool and build what it lacks alongside it.
“How long does it take?”
The prototype, free, is ready in one week. A full project takes months, and your teams work in the tool before the end, not on delivery day.
You see the software run before you commit to what comes next.
“What happens after delivery?”
We maintain what we build. Our oldest application has been running every day for ten years. Defects in what we delivered are fixed at no extra cost.
Business software lives for years. So do we.
“Who owns the code?”
You do. The software is built for your company, on standard technologies, and documented so another team could take it over.
You are never locked in with us.
