Discuss your app idea

When is a custom app worth building?

An existing solution, a mobile app or a PWA? Start with the task, then choose the appropriate approach.

First an honest answer

There are excellent standard packages for accounting, invoicing or a webshop. Nothing needs to be custom built for this.

Customized software pays off for the tasks specific to your company: the way your team works, plans, notes and communicates.

Customization pays off

  • Your working method does not fit into a package, so you have to work around the package.
  • You would pay a large package for one task, with many features that no one uses.
  • Data is now spread across Excel, WhatsApp, paper and email.
  • The same action takes time every week, for multiple employees.

A standard package is better if

  • There is already a package that does your job well, for a reasonable price.
  • The task is legally established and requires a recognized package, such as accounting.
  • You only need it occasionally.

Start small

Customization does not have to be a large project. One targeted application for one task is often enough, and expansion can be done later at a pre-agreed price.

It starts with one introduction in which we discuss your current working method. Then you know what an app solves, what it doesn't, and what it costs.

Your application, with hosting and maintenance

We discuss your needs and propose the right solution: new software or an existing Kwant Software application. You receive a quotation upfront with one-off and any recurring costs, payment dates, hosting and arrangements for source code and usage rights. More under quotation and support.

Do you need customization?
or does the solution already exist?

We start with your daily work and first look at what existing software can do. Customization must add something.
