Guide to choosing custom software for SMEs

Choosing the right custom software solutions for your SME is key to maximizing efficiency and productivity. Currently, 75% of Spanish SMEs opt for custom software, with an average cost usually ranging between €8K and €25K.

According to the AMETIC Digital Transformation Report, companies in the Gràcia district report a 40% increase in ROI after implementing custom software. In areas like Cuatro Torres, significant savings and operational improvements have also been observed thanks to solutions tailored to each business.

The retail, hospitality, and insurance industries are sectors that greatly benefit from custom applications, as they allow for process optimization, point-of-sale integration, and improved customer management. Although there are popular SaaS competitors like Zoho CRM, Trello, HubSpot, and Pipedrive with competitive pricing, platforms like Salesforce can cost between €1.2K and €3.6K per year depending on the package.

In the development process, it is advisable to study consolidated technology stacks such as Django + PostgreSQL, React + Node.js, or Ruby on Rails to ensure scalability and maintainability. Most companies in Barcelona and Madrid start with an overview of their needs, followed by concrete examples and technical recommendations before starting the project.
