CUSTOM SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
Custom software when the off-the-shelf tool falls short.
We connect processes, roles and systems for Slovak and Czech businesses. Analysis defines the first operational stage, integrations, migration and further development.
What we build
What the system needs to handle
01
Custom internal systems
Orders, inventory, approvals, reporting. A company information system built for the process you actually run, with nothing bolted on for show.
02
Replacing SaaS that never fit
When an off-the-shelf tool covers only part of the work and the rest stays manual, we compare its cost and limits with a custom build.
03
Integrations between systems
We connect accounting, banking, your store and internal tools over their APIs so nobody retypes data.
04
Taking over inherited code
The system runs, its author is gone and nobody will touch it. We map it and take it on.
05
Customer portals
Clients and partners check their own orders, documents and case status. Your inbox and phone go quiet.
06
Web and mobile apps
One custom app for the browser and the phone, with sign-in, roles and a link to the systems you already run.
Software is built in the details.
Architecture, implementation, and quality stay under one technical owner throughout delivery. Every decision also has to hold up in production.
Who this is for
When this makes sense
- First step
- 2-4 weeks for initial analysis, a process prototype, and clear pilot boundaries.
The process has multiple roles, states, approvals, or external systems.
You need a custom workflow, not just an off-the-shelf SaaS tool.
Auditability, security, and long-term extensibility matter.
Proof · HR and payroll
Personnel and payroll system
The HR and Slovak payroll system serves over 500 employees. The case study explains our delivery. Public screens use the Horilla demo, while client data remains confidential.
- Problem addressed
- HR workflows and a separate Slovak payroll engine for an organisation with over 500 employees.
- Available evidence
- Confidential client engagement. The public study explains our contribution and architecture. Screens come from the Horilla demo.

Comparisons for this service
Custom software vs. off-the-shelf SaaS
Criteria, a table, and real numbers. When an off-the-shelf tool is enough, when your own pays off, and when the answer is to do nothing.
In-house team vs. agency
The real cost of both routes, when a first in-house hire makes sense, when an external team does, and where the line sits.
How we work
A delivery you can inspect
The initial analysis ends with a written document you can hand to a third party. We invoice against milestones, not against hope.
The code is yours
We hand over the repository, documentation, and access at launch. You can continue with us or another team.
One person, one accountability
You talk to whoever writes the code. No management layer between the brief and the build.
Decision brief · Custom software development
A validated pilot of one workflow with roles, data, and clear boundaries for further development.
A manual process, spreadsheets, or disconnected tools cause errors, re-entry, and unclear ownership.

What does manual work cost?
Three values are enough for a first estimate. The result updates instantly.
Indicative annual cost
€40,250.00 / year
A cost model using 46 working weeks, not guaranteed savings.
What we need from the client
- • A description of the current process, exceptions, and decision owner.
- • Representative inputs, integration needs, and access rules.

When custom software is not the answer
A simple presentation website without a custom process is enough.
The process is not described and there is no clear decision owner yet.
Questions
Before we start building
When an off-the-shelf tool covers only part of the process and the workarounds now cost too much time or create too many errors. We compare simpler options first.
It follows the process, team, integrations, and operation. We explain the choice in the architecture proposal so a future supplier can understand it too.
We agree security requirements around the sensitivity of the data and the operation. Access is limited to what is needed, changes are tested, and recovery is agreed before launch.
Ask for a comparable workflow, the exact delivery scope and acceptance process. Agree a process owner, acceptance criteria, access to source code and the cost of ongoing support.
We compare existing products, extensions and custom development first. Integration requires checking APIs, permissions, licences and data ownership. Custom software should fill a specific gap.
We agree data mapping, a trial import, record counts and rollback. We hand over code, documentation and access. Support scope and response times are agreed separately.
