Custom software · you own it

You're renting software you could own — for a tenth of the bill.

Tell us what you pay for software. We rebuild the parts you actually use, run it beside your current system until it's proven, and hand you the keys.

No per-seat fees You own the code and the data Nothing switches off until it's proven
The problem

The software you rent isn't built for you.

The fix

You are renting software made for ten thousand other companies, and paying per seat, per unit or per ticket for it. We build the version that fits how you work — and you own it.

  • You pay per seat, per unit or per ticket — so the bill grows every time you do.
  • You use a fraction of it and work around the rest.
  • We build only the parts you use, around how you already work.
  • One flat monthly price. You own the code and the data.

How it works

The price is rarely what keeps people on software they resent. The fear of switching is. So we take that part on ourselves.

Send us the bill

Tell us what you pay for and what you really use it for. That is the whole first step — no discovery workshop.

We rebuild the parts you use

Not the two hundred features you never opened. Your screens, your words, your process, with your existing data moved across for you.

Run it side by side

The new system runs next to the old one on real work. Nothing is switched off until you have watched it hold up.

Switch, and stop paying per seat

One flat monthly price that covers hosting, fixes and changes. Add your whole staff; the price does not move.

The switch

Nothing switches off until it's proven.

The questions everyone asks

What does it cost?

About a tenth of what you pay for the software today — we quote it against your own bill, so the number is yours, not a list price. No per-seat fees, and hosting, fixes and changes are included.

Who keeps it running?

We do. Hosting, fixes and changes are part of the monthly price. You message us; it gets done.

What if we want to leave?

You own the code and the data, and you can take both whenever you like. Compare that with trying to get your records out of what you use now.

How risky is switching?

We move your data over and run the new system beside the old one. You turn the old one off when you are satisfied, not before.

How long does it take?

It depends on how much of your current software you really use. You get a date with your quote, before you commit to anything.

What can't you replace?

Anything where the vendor is the network itself — card processing, listing channels, systems a manufacturer requires. We build around those and tell you up front which parts stay.

Send us the bill. We'll send back a number.

Three questions. No call unless you want one.

No card, no call required. We reply by email.
