Custom software
Your business doesn't fit off-the-shelf software. We build the one that does.
You know the trade-off: paying a subscription for a tool you use a quarter of, and doing the rest in spreadsheets. Software built for you removes both.
Nine services in production at one client, on a platform built from scratch.
Four signs off-the-shelf software won't do any more.
You pay for three subscriptions and the real data still lives in a spreadsheet.
Your teams have invented workarounds nobody has written down.
What makes you different is exactly what the tool can't do.
Every new customer costs you a little more manual work than the last.
You pay one hundred per cent of a tool you use a quarter of.
Two ways to build, depending on what you want out of it.
Vertical, the tool of your trade
Built around the way you work, with your vocabulary and your rules. Nobody else could use it as it is: that's exactly the point.
Horizontal, the tool others will want
The same foundation, designed to serve several companies at once. That's the route when your problem is your peers' problem too, and you want to turn it into a product.
Two systems in service, built from scratch.
Calia Labs
A decision system for finance and insurance.
The problem
In finance and insurance, a decision has to be made in real time, and proven months later. Most systems do one or the other.
What we built
An engine that intercepts every decision as it is made, keeps the full trace of it, and treats the regulatory constraint as a value in the system rather than as a check bolted on afterwards.
MyKonci
A complete platform, running in production.
The problem
A property management company that grows ends up running its properties, its guests, its billing and its compliance across several tools that don't talk to each other.
What we built
A single platform: bookings, multilingual guest messaging, voice agent, billing and subscriptions, client dashboard, GDPR compliance. Nine services in production.
What you own at the end.
- Code
- The code, documented, in your repository.
- Data
- Your data, exportable at any time, in an open format.
- Hosting
- Hosting you can take over, or that we keep running for you.
We don't disappear for six months.
The first usable piece arrives early and goes live. You don't discover the software on delivery day: you're using it while we build it.
Describe the software you're missing.
Even in one vague sentence. That's exactly what the scoping is for.
