Written by Progresus.co | May 25, 2023 5:40:33 PM

Are there currently problems or processes in which existing software solutions are insufficient to solve them?

This could be because your problem is too specific to be solved by available software applications.

Custom web application development capabilities have evolved to the point where they deliver levels of interactivity, integration, and ease of use that compete with traditional vendor applications, but at a sometimes much lower cost.

In addition, there are so many different platforms that it seems almost impossible to have a single solution for everything.

Custom development can bring the following benefits:

  • They are adaptable and portable thanks to progressive and adaptive architectures that allow access from different devices.
  • They are easier to integrate with existing systems.
  • They are currently secure enough by incorporating features such as encryption and methodologies based on best practices.
  • They are scalable and adjust to user demand.
  • They can be easily supported.
  • They can replace manual processes, saving man-hours.

In short, custom development is a good solution for companies of any kind and size to adapt digital transformation strategies that impact their business processes.

It also represents a good alternative for entrepreneurs to launch their digitally-based business ideas at very low costs.

In conclusion, daring to develop custom solutions, either with an in-house department or with the help of a quality business partner, in order to replace internal processes or to launch a new business, can mean an increase in competitiveness and productivity for companies.

It's not about ideas. It's about making ideas happen.

First and foremost, custom software is based on your own specific requirements.

It is scalable and helps you meet your business requirements with ever-changing trends and evolving technology. In this competitive era, everyone strives to go from better to best.

Therefore, it is important to know these 4 tips on why custom development is important so that your company can emerge in the market. 

  1. Get the best features within budget. Choose the functionalities that you need the most to grow your business instead of paying for a complete package of features that you probably won't use as they may be of lesser importance to your company's needs and will generate additional costs.
  2. The integration of off-the-shelf software with your existing systems may not be perfect. With custom software, you can design the application with existing systems and applications in mind.
  3. Be the first to overcome a technical challenge instead of waiting for the provider to update their off-the-shelf software.
  4. Get customized reports for specific events . Make the most of your software with personalized dashboards that show you the information you really need to make the best business decisions. 


In custom software development, development starts with the essential core features that you need the most or have priority in developing, and then as your business evolves, new features or functions can be added at any time.

The advantage of custom software is that it is designed to easily accommodate changes according to the changing requirements of businesses.
