Business systems

Custom management systems.

A custom system makes sense when off-the-shelf products force you to work their way, or when what you do does not fit any of them. We build it around the task your operation repeats the most.

How this kind of project works

When it makes sense

When you have tried off-the-shelf systems and still run half of the work in spreadsheets, when your industry has rules of its own, or when the system is part of what you offer your customers. If an existing product covers almost everything, use it: we will tell you so in the first call.

What it usually includes

Sales and point of sale, stock, purchasing, customer accounts, role-based permissions and reports. Not all at once: we start with what is used the most and add the rest in stages.

How we do it

We design around the central task. In a system for health-food shops it was the till: scan, charge and give change in seconds, with stock, purchasing and reports feeding from that. In one for schools it was grades, attendance and messages to families.

Electronic invoicing

We have integrated Argentina's electronic invoicing (ARCA, formerly AFIP) into a point-of-sale system, so the invoice comes out of the same place where the sale is recorded.

What we need from you

Someone who knows the day-to-day operation, and time to test each delivery with the people who will use it.

How long it takes and how it is priced

It depends on scope. After a 30-minute call we send a proposal with scope, timeline and a fixed price. Work runs in two-week stages with a demo at the end of each one, and you can change direction between stages.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a management system take?

It depends on scope. The first modules of a school management system took 8 to 10 weeks; a larger one is delivered in stages, and each stage is already usable.

What happens to the data I already have?

It is imported from your spreadsheets or your current system. If you work with Excel or Access today, the migration is part of the project.

Can we start with one part?

Yes, and that is what we recommend: one module that solves a concrete problem and gets used, before adding the next one.

Who owns the code?

You do. It lives in your repository, under your licence, from day one. We never reuse one client's code in another client's project.

What happens after delivery?

We leave documentation and include three months of support. After that we stay on only if you need us.

Working on something similar?

Tell us what you want to build. In a 30-minute call we'll tell you how we'd approach it, or whether it's not for us.
