Your industry has a workflow that no SaaS gets right, and the workarounds are eating your team.

FAQ
Common questions
Should I just buy a SaaS instead?
Usually, yes — and we will tell you that during the assessment. Custom software is the right answer when SaaS gaps are costing you real hours or revenue, or when integration is the actual product.
What stack do you use?
Default is TypeScript, Next.js, Postgres, hosted on Vercel. We choose differently when the workload demands it — Python for data and ML, native services where appropriate.
Do you do mobile apps?
We focus on web and integrations. Most internal tools and portals are better as web apps. We refer out for native iOS or Android.
What about ongoing maintenance?
Every project includes a 30-day warranty. After that, you can retain us monthly for changes and support, hand it to your team, or stay on a per-engagement basis.
