We help you decide between custom software and an off-the-shelf SaaS based on your operation.
Custom development vs SaaS: which suits you
Choosing between an off-the-shelf SaaS and custom development depends on your volume, processes and team. We help you decide with judgement and, if needed, execute the right option.
We work from Barcelona and Madrid and remotely, combining analysis, decision and verifiable delivery.
We deliver code, configuration and documentation in your environments, without lock-in.
THE CHALLENGE
Choosing between custom development and off-the-shelf SaaS
Choosing between custom development and off-the-shelf SaaS is not a matter of preference: it depends on your volume, your processes and your horizon.
Functional fit versus speed
Deciding whether an exact fit with your process justifies the longer timeline of custom development versus the immediate rollout of off-the-shelf SaaS.
Total cost of ownership
Comparing the SaaS recurring subscription with the upfront investment and maintenance of in-house development, including updates and support.
Dependency and lock-in risk
Assessing how hard it is to migrate data and processes when the SaaS catalog stops meeting your needs or changes its pricing model.
APPROACH
Choosing between custom development and off-the-shelf SaaS
We decide with your data, not with vendor bias.
Map the critical processes
We identify which features are differentiating for your business and which are already well covered by standard solutions.
Simulate 3-5 year costs
We project the total cost of ownership of each option based on your volume and expected pace of evolution.
Test the SaaS against your data
We validate through a scoped trial whether the catalog covers most of your requirements without costly workarounds.
Define the decision threshold
We set objective criteria around timeline, budget and differentiation that determine which option wins in your context.
