Get what you need and when you need it with our custom software development company. Our team of 350+ custom software developers builds with your business and employees in mind, not just the general software user.

What makes a custom software solution your go-to option?

With the software market being cram-full of ready-made options, it might seem unnecessary to splurge on bespoke solutions. Yet, the scale often tips towards custom software development projects for a number of compelling reasons. Whatever are yours, we are all set to yield desirable results for your undertaking.

Unique business conditions

One size never fits all, and your business is no exception. Large, innovative, complex — underline one or all of them — in any case, there are either no SaaS offerings for your company or they become too impractical and costly. With custom development, you can tailor solutions specifically to your business needs without draining your budget in the long run.

Uncompromising security requirements

Ironclad security is table stakes for your business. We got it. Off-the-shelf software often falls short in meeting stringent safety requirements, leaving room for multiple vulnerabilities. Custom development, fulfilled by a trustworthy partner, ensures that your security needs are met with precision and integrity.

Reluctance to adapt business processes to the software

It’s the technology that should serve you, not the other way around. If your business processes are just fine as they are, adapting them to fit SaaS frameworks can disrupt operations and efficiency. Custom software solutions allow you to maintain control over your processes without compromising on functionality.

Custom software legacy

You have already invested in custom software tailored to the intricacies of your business. Adopting a platform solution out of the box risks undermining this investment and requires further expenses for integration. Our custom software development services enable your solution to seamlessly weave into the existing software ecosystem, respecting your financial commitment and ensuring compatibility.

Instinctools is good at understanding the technical issues – once an issue is outlined, they do not need repeated explanation. They also do not simply accept a proposed solution, but they think about it and propose a better solution.

FAQ

What is a custom software development company?

Custom software development companies deliver bespoke solutions tailored to the company’s unique needs. Unlike off the shelf software, tailored solutions smoothly plug into the company’s tech infrastructure and have the exact set of features the company needs to address its business challenges. 

What is the average custom software development cost?

The cost of customized IT services varies greatly based on the solution's complexity. While simple web applications take up around $20,000 to $50,000, the cost of enterprise wide software may start at $200,000+. The location of the custom software firm also impacts the pricing model. For example, a custom software development company in the USA charges around $100 per hour, while you will pay around $40-$70 per hour to a Poland-based tech partner for the same custom software application development services.

The cost of custom software is calculated on a case-by-case basis so we recommend contacting our development team to get an accurate estimate for your project.

Why hire a custom software development company?

One of the main reasons to hire a custom software development company is the level of expertise they bring to the table. Development companies have teams of skilled developers on tap who have a deep understanding of the programming languages, frameworks, and technologies relevant to your project. They autonomously work on developing your software and making it efficient, reliable, and scalable. In the meantime, you can focus on your core business tasks.

Another reason to hire a custom software programming services company is the level of customization they offer. Custom development partners build tailored solutions that are specifically designed for your unique business requirements. This means that you pay only for the exact features and functionality you need, without any frills.

How do you create a software solution?

We perform custom software programming in small iterations to achieve higher flexibility in the process and spot possible issues early in development. Our software development lifecycle is incremental. With each iteration, our custom software programmers continually improve your product until you’re satisfied with the final deliverable.

How do I choose a custom software developer?

To find a suitable candidate for your custom development solution, you should gauge their level of experience in your domain. Take a look at their portfolio and success stories to see whether they specialize in projects similar to yours. Also, make sure that your tech partner provides end-to-end custom software services and can cover every development stage.

Prioritize software development companies that have a well-documented and well-executed project development process in place as it promotes smooth and timely delivery. You should also check whether the team has appropriate data security practices in place and whether they can meet your regulatory requirements.
