Custom development

Custom software for SMEs in Barcelona

Internal software built around your actual process, for when an off-the-shelf tool does not fit or is holding your growth back.

Before proposing to build anything, we check whether an existing tool on the market already solves the problem at a lower cost. Custom software makes sense when the process is specific enough to your company (your own way of managing orders, a particular approval workflow, an integration between tools you currently handle by hand) and no standard product fits without forcing it.

We mostly build internal applications: small management tools, dashboards, integrations between existing systems (ERP, invoicing, CRM) and automations with their own interface. We do not build large platforms from scratch without a prior pilot to validate that it is worth it.

The code and data are yours from day one: we do not lock you into a mandatory maintenance contract or closed infrastructure.

Custom development

How we decide if it's worth building

Custom software vs. an off-the-shelf tool

We compare cost, time and fit before recommending any development work.

  • If an existing tool covers 80% of the process through configuration, we recommend that first
  • Custom development makes sense when the process is genuinely differentiating for the business
  • We weigh up total cost: development plus maintenance, not just the initial spend

The kind of applications we build

Internal tools aimed at solving one specific process, not generic products.

  • Management and tracking dashboards (orders, incidents, stock)
  • Integrations between tools that currently require manual work
  • Internal forms and approval workflows
  • Automations with a simple interface for your team

Development process

From diagnostic to delivery, with clear review points along the way.

  • Free 2-hour diagnostic to define the scope
  • Functional pilot in 4 weeks around the main use case
  • Review with your team before extending functionality

Ownership of code and data

The result is yours: source code, database and basic usage documentation.

What's not included

So expectations on scope and ongoing costs are clear from the start.

  • Full rewrites or new modules are not included and are quoted separately
  • Maintenance is optional, but recommended once a tool is in daily use
  • A custom tool needs internal documentation and training so you are not overly dependent on us

Maintenance and limits

Maintenance from EUR79/month covers fixes, small improvements and availability, but not new development.

Where we work

We build for companies in Barcelona and its metropolitan area, and remotely across the rest of Catalonia and Spain.

  • Barcelona and its metropolitan area

Frequently asked questions

Why not just use a ready-made tool?

Often that is the right call. We only build custom software when the process is specific enough that no standard tool fits without forcing it.

Who owns the code once the project is finished?

You do. Once development is paid for, the source code and database are yours, with no contractual dependency to keep using them.

What happens if I want to switch providers later?

Since you own the code, you can hand it to another technical team. We aim to document the architecture so that transition is realistic.

How long until a first version is ready?

A functional pilot is delivered within 4 weeks of agreeing the scope, focused on the main process to be solved.

Is maintenance mandatory?

No. It's optional, but recommended if the tool is used regularly, to keep fixes and availability covered from EUR79/month.

Do you also integrate with tools we already use?

Yes, integrating with existing systems such as ERP, invoicing or CRM platforms is one of the most common parts of these projects.
