Custom applications in Palma: web and mobile
When the spreadsheet stops coping and no off-the-shelf product fits the way you work, the answer is an application built around your process.
In short
- From around €6,000, on a fixed quote
- 6-12 weeks, in phases, with the first useful version live before the end
- Web, iOS and Android from a single codebase
- The code and the data are yours, with no fee for using them
The sign that the moment has come
It is almost always the same scene: a spreadsheet nobody fully understands any more, three people editing it at once, a history that gets lost, and a solid hour every week spent reconciling something that ought to reconcile itself. It works, but it costs, and the cost appears on no invoice.
The next step is usually to buy an off-the-shelf product. Sometimes that works; sometimes it forces you to swap your way of working for the one the product ships with, and the team ends up keeping the spreadsheet alongside it 'for the things the product does not do'.
A custom application reverses the order: it is built on how you work today, not on how a catalogue says you should. The data lives in one place, each person sees what concerns them, there is a record of who did what, and what is a manual cross-check today becomes a button.
What can be built
All of these are applications I have built or can build. If yours is not on the list, it probably still fits.
- Internal management
- An ERP or CRM on your terms: clients, orders, projects, job sheets — whatever your business needs to track.
- Client portals
- A private area where your clients check their information, documents or status without writing to you.
- Mobile apps
- For iOS and Android from a single codebase, for your team out on the road or for your customers.
- Dashboards and reports
- The numbers you pull together by hand today, calculated on their own and ready when you need them.
- Integrations
- So the application talks to what you already use: invoicing, accounting, payment gateway, email or calendar.
- Users and permissions
- Who gets in, what they see and what they can change, with an activity log so you know what happened and when.
How we work
In phases, so the first thing that goes live is the thing that saves you most.
See how you work today
A session watching the real process, exceptions and workarounds included. Half the solution is in there.
Define the useful minimum
Which part, built on its own, already takes work off your hands. That is phase one; the rest is planned but does not block it.
Build in deliveries
Every week there is something you can click on. Adjustments happen as we go, not in a final review.
Go live and stay close
Migrating the data you already have, training the team, and a period of support to tune what real use reveals.
Price and timeline
A management application starts at around €6,000 on a fixed quote. The range is wide because it depends on how many processes it replaces, how many user profiles there are, and which systems it has to talk to.
The typical timeline is six to twelve weeks, but there is no need to wait for the end: working in phases, the first useful version goes live well before the project is completely finished, and starts giving time back from there.
Frequently asked questions about custom web and app developmentQuestions about this service
Can we start with something small?
That is what I recommend. Pick the process that hurts most, build only that, and put it to work. With that version in real use you will decide what comes next far better than in any meeting.
What happens to the data I already have in spreadsheets?
It gets migrated. That is part of the job: reading what is there, cleaning it and loading it into the application, with a review by you before the final switch.
Do I own the application or rent it?
You own it. There is no licence fee for using your own software. You only pay for hosting and the external services it consumes, contracted in your name.
