Custom software
Software built around how your team actually works.
For the work that off-the-shelf tools almost do.
When should a business build custom software instead of buying it?
Build when bought tools don't fit the work that sets you apart and the workarounds cost more than a build. Buy when a tool already does most of it.
- Listen
- Map
- Build in steps
- Look after it
What changes

Is custom right for you?
Yes if you've tried tools that cover most of it but miss the part that matters, your way of working is what sets you apart, or workarounds eat your team's week.
