Frequently asked questions about custom software in South Africa
What is the difference between custom software and off-the-shelf software?
Custom software is built for your business processes, workflows and compliance. Off-the-shelf products are generic and often force you to change how you work.
How long does it take to build custom software?
A focused first release typically takes 8–12 weeks. We deliver incrementally so you see value early rather than waiting for a big-bang launch.
Can you maintain the software after it is built?
Yes. We offer ongoing support, hosting and feature-development retainers from R1,500/month. Because you own the code, you are never locked in.
