When off-the-shelf isn't enough — company-specific software

Off-the-shelf software fits a generic process; for your specific company process, only partly. Running SAP for a mid-market company is like 'driving a tank where a bicycle works.' In that case company-specific software — tailored development matching your process — makes more sense.

We decide via three questions: does the off-the-shelf option require >30% customization? Are there processes that create a unique competitive advantage? Is your team turning the off-the-shelf into 'bad use'? If 2+ are yes, company-specific software is economical.

50% of the success of a company-specific software project comes from process mapping before writing code. Existing process steps, which variables on which screen are changed by whom and when, exception paths — all laid out as a shared diagram in Miro / FigJam.

From that diagram we extract the budget; unnecessary steps drop from scope. Code-writing then starts clean and focused.

Migrating from existing ERP, CRM, Excel, or internal databases to the company-specific software is a critical phase. Data quality, format compatibility, missing fields — all cleaned by migration scripts and reported for your approval.

Integrations (e-invoice, shipping, banking, existing ERP) are listed up front; APIs, OAuth, and webhook flows clarified. Production launch begins after these integrations are verified.

Company-specific software isn't a 'finish and deliver' project; it runs as a process. Optional monthly support after launch: new features, bug fixes, performance monitoring, user training, reporting iteration.

Feedback like 'we also need to do this' from one of your users gets handled in a sprint and ships. Continuous iteration keeps the software in sync with reality.
