We build on our own platform

We have been building custom software since 2009. At some point we noticed we kept rebuilding the same parts — data models, forms, roles, approvals, reporting. So we built them properly, once. That is ApptiveGrid.

What that means for your project

A custom project normally starts at zero: database, user management, permissions, forms, exports. Months before anyone sees something that touches the actual problem.

We start from a platform where all of that already runs, and build bespoke only where it makes a difference. That is why weeks are often enough here where others need months — and why our projects cost less to maintain, because less of them is hand-built.

And sometimes it leads to the sentence agencies dislike saying: you do not need a project for this.

Which fits your plan?

Usually one or two points from these lists settle it. If both apply, we combine — which is the most common case.

The platform is probably enough if …

  • Data and lists that live in spreadsheets today
  • Forms someone fills in while out in the field
  • Approvals that pass through several people
  • Portals where each role sees something different
  • Recurring steps that should run by themselves

Live in weeks, maintainable by your own team afterwards.

We build bespoke when …

  • Your own app in the store, under your name
  • Millions of users or real-time calculation
  • Closeness to hardware, sensors, offline use
  • Particular security or audit obligations
  • A legacy system with no open interface

Often built on top of the platform — not from zero.

Where the time usually goes

Not sure what you need?

You describe your process briefly. We tell you whether ApptiveGrid is enough, a custom extension makes sense, or bespoke software is the better answer.

No obligation. We recommend the route that makes sense for your plans.
