Custom software & product development

Full-stack product engineering, from data model to interface, including multi-tenant SaaS architecture.

When off-the-shelf tools force your team to bend, custom software bends to your team. We design and build focused applications end-to-end: data model, authentication, billing, and the interface your staff or customers use every day, on a modern stack (Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase, Stripe, Vercel) that a future team can take over without archaeology.

We build and operate our own products, which changes how we build for clients. AllShift is a multi-tenant workforce time-tracking platform with geofenced clock-in, PTO management, driver announcements, and an offline-capable PWA. OnboardFlow handles multi-tenant client onboarding and e-signatures. Running production software with real users, real billing, and real 2am incidents is a different education than shipping projects and walking away.

That experience shows up in the details clients don't know to ask for: tenant isolation done correctly, authentication that won't need a rewrite, Stripe billing wired for upgrades and refunds, and phased delivery plans that put working software in your hands in weeks.

Engagements ship in fixed-scope phases with weekly demos, so you see progress continuously instead of waiting for a big reveal.

What you get

  • End-to-end product builds on Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase, and Vercel
  • Multi-tenant SaaS architecture with proper tenant isolation
  • Authentication and authorization design
  • Stripe billing and subscription integration
  • Progressive web apps with offline sync
  • Phased delivery plans with weekly demos

Good fit when

  • Spreadsheets and shared docs are breaking under a workflow that's actually your competitive edge
  • An off-the-shelf product is 70% right and the missing 30% is costing you hours every week
  • You have a validated product idea and need it architected and built properly the first time

Questions

What does a custom software project cost?

Project phases typically run $10k to $60k depending on complexity, quoted as a fixed price before work starts. Most products ship a usable first phase within four to eight weeks.

Who owns the code?

You do: full source, documentation, and infrastructure access from day one. We build so a future in-house team can take over cleanly.

Do you build SaaS products for clients?

Yes. Multi-tenant SaaS architecture is a core capability. Our own products, AllShift and OnboardFlow, run on the exact stack and patterns we use for client builds.
