Custom enterprise software development for complex, regulated operations
When off-the-shelf software pushes your team into spreadsheets and workarounds, we build software around how your business actually works, connect it to the systems you already run and support it after launch.
- Software in production across insurance, investment management and HR
- SAP, payment-file and data integrations
- Production support from the team that built it
Signs you've outgrown off-the-shelf software
- Critical steps happen in spreadsheets, email and people's heads.
- Your systems don't talk to each other, so staff copy data between them.
- Every product you try forces your process to change, not the other way round.
- Your last vendor delivered, then disappeared when changes were needed.
- The rules that make your business different, like how you calculate liabilities or allocate payments, aren't handled anywhere properly.
Software we've built and still support
Three systems, three industries, still running today.
- Insurance
Workers' compensation claims platform
Rebuilt a 12-year-old platform, then extended it release after release.
What it showsWe stay after launch: the same team has supported it for 3+ years.
Read the case study - Investment management
Finance data platform on Azure
Critical finance data moved out of legacy silos into Azure Synapse Analytics and Power BI.
What it showsSpeed without shortcuts: about 20% of the typical delivery time, with a 25% gain in operational efficiency.
- HR and payroll
SAP payroll integrations
Feeds to Fidelity, Kronos, Equifax and SuccessFactors Employee Central, aligned to the payroll calendar.
What it showsReliability: payroll errors from data mismatches cut from 8% to under 1%.
SAP HCM integrations
What we build
Operations platforms
The core systems a business runs on: claims, contracts, payments and work queues.
Integrations and APIs
Connections to SAP, payment and remittance files, banks, data feeds and partner systems.
Data platforms and dashboards
Data pipelines and reporting on Azure and Power BI.
Portals and internal tools
Web applications in React and Next.js for staff, clients and partners.
AI-enabled workflows
Document processing and automation built into the software.
AI and automation
How a project runs
Clear scope, visible progress and support from the same team.
Requirements and scope
Written requirements, a work breakdown and agreed success measures before we build.
Design and build
Two-week sprints, a demo at the end of each, code reviews and QA automation on every sprint.
Communication
A named project manager, shared Jira and Slack, regular updates, and formal change requests so scope never drifts silently.
Launch and support
Production support during business hours, critical-issue response after hours, and continuous enhancement.
Three ways to engage

Custom software development FAQ
How much does custom software cost?
It depends on scope. After a scoping call and requirements work, you get a budget range, and phased delivery spreads the cost.
How long does it take?
We plan releases so you get working software early and add to it in phases. You get a timeline once the scope is clear.
Who owns the code?
You do. On client projects, the code and all work product belong to you, and we work in your own infrastructure.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. We regularly integrate with SAP, payment and remittance files, banks, data platforms and third-party APIs.
What happens after launch?
The team that built it supports it: production support during business hours, critical-issue response after hours, and ongoing enhancements.
Where is your team?
Our leadership is in New York and Toronto. Our North American engineers work onsite, hybrid or remote on your schedule, and our global delivery team works 8 am to 5 pm Eastern Time.
Tell us what you need to build
In a 30-minute call with our CEO or CTO, we'll talk through your process, what isn't working and whether building, buying or extending makes most sense.
