How much does custom software cost in the UAE?
It is quoted per project, because the number follows the process rather than the page count. What moves it most is how many separate workflows the system has to cover, how many outside systems it has to exchange data with, how many kinds of user it serves, and whether it handles money. Our Product Build package carries a published starting price, and the current figure is on the pricing page. Scope and exclusions are agreed in writing before anything is billed.
How long does a custom software project take?
Each package prints its own timeline, and that is the starting point; the real one is set at scoping once the workflows and integrations are known. Two things stretch it in practice: how quickly we get access to the systems we have to connect to, and how long decisions take on your side about how an edge case should behave. We build in working stages, so you are using real screens early instead of waiting for one delivery at the end.
Can you automate a process we currently run by hand?
Usually, and the first step is writing the process down as it actually runs, exceptions included. Once the steps, the rules and the people who approve things are clear, the repetitive part can move into software: entry that validates itself, approvals routed to the right person, documents and messages generated from data already in the system, and a record of what happened. The part that cannot be automated is a rule nobody has decided yet, and settling those is work we do with you during scoping.
Can you integrate with the CRM or ERP we already use?
If it exposes an API, a webhook or a supported export, yes. Some systems expose everything, some a subset, and a few only allow a scheduled file exchange. We check what yours actually offers before quoting and design the integration around what is there, because an integration promised before that check is a guess. Where a system is genuinely closed, we work with the data it can export and say plainly what that costs you in freshness.
Do you build ecommerce and ordering systems?
Yes, with one distinction worth making early. A catalogue where customers browse and then order over WhatsApp or by phone is website work and is priced as a website package. A system that takes payment, applies your own pricing or approval rules, tracks stock and gives customers an account to reorder from is a software project, and that is what this page covers. The payment gateway account is registered in your name, and its setup and transaction fees are billed to you by the provider.
Can you improve the system we already have instead of rebuilding it?
Often, and it is worth asking before committing to a rebuild. It depends on what we can get access to: the source code, the database and whatever documentation exists. We look at the current system first and say which is cheaper over the next few years, extending it, replacing part of it, or starting again. Moving your existing data across is normal project work, but a large migration out of an old system sits outside the packages and is quoted separately.
What happens after the system goes live?
Each package includes a post-launch support window and prints its length on the package itself. That window covers agreed-scope fixes, deployment and configuration issues, and help using what was built. Ongoing maintenance, monitoring, new features and any response-time commitment are agreed and quoted on their own, because a support window is not a maintenance contract.
