FAQs

Custom software investment typically ranges from $25,000 for simple business automation tools to $150,000+ for comprehensive enterprise systems or market-facing applications. The exact cost depends on complexity, features, integrations, and timeline. We provide detailed estimates after understanding your specific needs during our free consultation. Most clients see ROI within 6-12 months through increased efficiency and reduced manual work.

Initially, custom software requires higher upfront investment, but it often costs less long-term. Off-the-shelf software typically includes monthly/annual licensing fees ($50-500+ per user), plus costs for features you don’t need, forced upgrades, and workarounds for missing functionality. Custom software is built specifically for your processes, eliminating ongoing licensing costs and productivity losses from poor-fit solutions.

We can provide ballpark estimates during our free consultation once we understand your requirements. Simple automation projects often start around $25,000-50,000. Complex business systems range from $75,000-200,000. Customer-facing applications vary from $50,000-300,000+ depending on features and user base. Every project is unique, so we always provide detailed estimates after our discovery process.

Yes, we offer flexible payment structures to help businesses invest in custom software without straining cash flow. Common arrangements include milestone-based payments (25% at start, 25% at design approval, 25% at development completion, 25% at launch), or extended payment plans for larger projects. We also help structure payments around government funding timelines – for example, starting with IRAP funding or timing payments with SR&ED tax credit periods. Our goal is making Canadian development accessible to businesses of all sizes.

Absolutely. Funding consultation is part of our service. During our initial consultation, we assess your project for IRAP eligibility, SR&ED qualification criteria, industry-specific grants (manufacturing innovation, digital transformation, cleantech, etc.), and provincial funding programs. We’ve successfully helped clients secure hundreds of thousands in funding, and we structure our project documentation to maximize tax credit eligibility. This funding guidance is one reason why Canadian development often costs less than offshore alternatives when net investment is calculated.

Timeline depends on project complexity. Simple automation tools typically take 6-12 weeks. Comprehensive business management systems require 3-6 months. Customer-facing applications with advanced features can take 6-12 months. We provide detailed project timelines during planning, with regular progress updates throughout development. Our agile approach allows for iterative delivery so you see progress every 2-3 weeks.

Our process follows five key phases: 1) Discovery – Deep dive into your business needs and goals, 2) Strategy – Technical architecture and project roadmap, 3) Development – Agile development with regular check-ins, 4) Deployment – Secure launch with comprehensive testing and training, 5) Evolution – Ongoing support and feature expansion as your business grows. Unlike many developers, we prepare every project for future enhancements from day one.

We recommend moderate involvement for best results. You’ll need 2-4 hours weekly for check-ins, feedback, and testing during development. This includes reviewing progress demos, providing feedback on features, and participating in user acceptance testing. We handle all technical decisions while ensuring the software meets your business requirements perfectly.

We build realistic timelines based on our experience, but if delays occur due to scope changes or unforeseen technical challenges, we communicate immediately with revised timelines and options. Our fixed-price contracts protect you from cost overruns, and we absorb costs for delays that are our responsibility. For scope changes you request, we provide transparent pricing for additions before proceeding.

We choose technologies based on your specific needs, not trends. Our primary stack includes Laravel and modern PHP for robust backend systems, Vue.js and React for interactive user interfaces, MySQL and PostgreSQL for reliable data storage, and cloud platforms like AWS for scalable hosting. We also work with mobile technologies, AI/ML frameworks, and integrate with existing business systems like QuickBooks, Salesforce, and industry-specific software.

Absolutely. Integration is often a key requirement for business software. We connect with accounting systems (QuickBooks, Sage), CRM platforms (Salesforce, HubSpot), communication tools (Teams, Slack), industry-specific software, and virtually any system with an API or database access. We ensure seamless data flow between your new software and existing tools, eliminating duplicate data entry and system silos.

Security is built into every solution from day one. We implement enterprise-grade security including encrypted data storage and transmission, secure user authentication, regular automated backups, role-based access controls, and compliance with relevant regulations (PIPEDA, HIPAA, etc.). All software is hosted on secure cloud infrastructure with 99.9% uptime guarantees. We also provide security audits and updates as part of our ongoing support.
