Custom software costs surprisingly less than you think.

Bespoke software development is a custom, tailor-made solution that meets the specific needs of a client. In many cases, it can more than pay for itself in the short term without the need for recurring and expensive software licensing fees.

Each organisation is different and will therefore have different data processes and reporting requirements. In comparison with outdated legacy systems, custom software is purposefully designed to work efficiently and effectively with your requirements compared with an off-the-shelf software solution. When it comes to hosting and backup/disaster recovery protocols for your custom database, we will always recommend appropriate solutions that fit your current infrastructure and processes.

The cost of bespoke software is much less than you may think compared to off-the-shelf databases like Access. Initially, some off-the-shelf solutions may appear to be cheaper, however, they do not offer the flexibility to customise them to your exact data processing needs. The reality is that it will potentially cost a lot more to customise an off-the-shelf system which may still not be fully fit for purpose despite the extra costs compared to what bespoke software development offers.

There are other benefits too. A bespoke software solution will be much easier to maintain and keep in line with any changes to current or future business processes, compared to off-the-shelf software which will incur licensing fees and hefty customisation costs as your processes change and expand. Moving from a paper-based/spreadsheet-based system may sound daunting but we are here to explain everything involved in the migration and will assist in every stage to make the transition as seamless as possible for you and your team.

We have worked on many bespoke systems development projects for over 23 years. During this time we have seen vast changes in software architecture, cloud data storage and database capabilities across different platforms and devices including mobile apps. Custom systems development is much more robust when it comes to scalability and future-proofing your database systems.

We develop applications using our own custom-coded development platform using the latest PHP coding practices that provide the customisation features and flexibility required to build clients robust, secure, and modern database and mobile applications with real-time reporting and advanced data analysis and reporting tools.
