Custom business software for SMEs Get your processes out of spreadsheets.
Custom business software is an application built around the way an SME works: it replaces spreadsheets, double entry and tools that don't talk to each other (dispatch, CRM, bookings, back office). I build it with you, I deliver it in stages, with a demo every week, and it belongs to you.
The signs
When an SME moves to a custom tool.
A custom tool makes sense when one of these signs becomes a daily thing.
- 01
Your tools don't talk to each other.
Your team copies data from one piece of software to another, and errors follow.
- 02
Everything relies on Excel and on a few people.
When they are away, the business slows down.
- 03
Off-the-shelf software bends you out of shape.
It forces you to change the way you work, or it covers 60% of the need and you patch the rest.
- 04
You lose sales for lack of responsiveness.
Forgotten follow-ups, requests left waiting, customers without an answer.
Want to test an idea with a few users first? Start with a first version (MVP).
A field-intervention tool, a custom booking app or a case-tracking tool are built with the same method: scoping, a demo every week, going live in your name.
What it changes
Time given back to your teams.
- 01
No more re-keying.
The request comes in, the right people are notified, and the quote goes out from invoicing with the right amounts.
- 02
Adopted without weeks of training.
I build it with the people who will use it, and you test each step on your real cases.
- 03
Connected to your tools.
Invoicing, CRM, e-mailing, SMS, payment: the tool plugs into what you already use.
AI in your processes, when it pays off
AI in your processes, when it pays.
Sorting incoming requests, extracting the information from a purchase order or an invoice, drafting a follow-up that a person approves. I start from a specific task, I measure what it costs you, and I test on your real cases.
And sometimes, without AI.
A simple rule is often enough: it is cheaper and more reliable, and I will tell you so. For anything that commits your company (a payment, a message to a customer), a person on your team approves first. For one specific task to hand over to your software, see Automate your repetitive tasks.
How it works
You test each stage on your real cases.
30 minutes
Call
You describe the process that gets stuck. I tell you whether custom software is the right answer.
One week
Scoping
What the tool must do, for whom, with which rules, the key screens and a fixed price.
Every week
Build
A demo, which you test on real cases. You keep control of the priorities.
Then
Going live
I check every delivery myself, I train your teams, and I stay on with Care.
What it costs
The price of your tool, with no surprises.
Scoping
€1,900 excl. VAT
One week. Deducted if you continue.
Build
€11,900 excl. VAT · per month
€11,900 a month excl. VAT, or €6,500 excl. VAT for two weeks for a short project. The number of months is set during scoping and written into the quote.
Care
From €250 excl. VAT · per month
Maintenance and improvements, once the tool is live. Maintenance in detail →
The price depends mainly on four things: the number of user profiles, the tools to connect, the data to migrate, and whether there is a mobile app. All offers and pricing →
Frequently asked questions
Before you get started.
Custom or off-the-shelf software: how do I choose?
If a product covers the essentials of your need without forcing you to change your process, take it. Custom software makes sense when your process is an advantage, or when the workarounds cost more than the tool. We make that call together during scoping, and I have no interest in selling you development you don't need.
How long does it take?
A few weeks for a first tool in production. The timeline is set during scoping and written into the quote. A project with a lot of data to migrate takes longer.
Can the tool connect to our current software?
Almost always: invoicing, CRM, emailing, text messages, online payment, a group's information system. I check every connection during scoping.
Does the tool really belong to us?
Yes: code, hosting and accounts are in your name from day one. No per-user subscription, no dependency on a vendor.
