Custom software, built around your work

Internal tools, web applications and business software built around your real process, not an off-the-shelf template bent to fit.

Off-the-shelf software forces you to bend your work to fit the program: you pay licences for modules you’ll never open and adapt the way you work to decisions someone else made. We start from the opposite end. We look at how you work today, where you lose time, what still runs on spreadsheets and messages, and we build the tool around that.

Custom software isn’t a luxury for big companies. It’s the right answer when your process is specific, when no off-the-shelf tool covers it without workarounds, or when you’re paying for three or four programs that don’t talk to each other. We build it to last, with clean code and technical choices that hold up as you grow.

The first usable version goes online in a few weeks, not months of works. You see something concrete early, use it on the real job, and from there we grow it around what actually proves useful in the field. No big bang, no two-hundred-page spec that ages before it ships.

You talk to whoever writes the code, not to a middleman. One technical point of contact follows the project from idea to maintenance, so decisions happen fast and no information gets lost in the handovers.

What’s included · Custom software

  • 01

    Business tools and internal software

    The program you open every day for orders, clients, stock and cases, with the screens pared to the bone and the steps that matter brought forward. Whoever uses it gets it without a training course.

  • 02

    Web applications

    Portals, dashboards and private areas you reach from any browser, nothing to install. You update once and it counts for everyone, on desktop and phone.

  • 03

    System-to-system integrations

    We connect the ERP, invoicing, e-commerce and CRM you already use, so the data moves on its own and you stop re-entering it by hand from one program to another.

  • 04

    Maintenance included

    After launch we stay: updates, security, fixes and new features when the work changes. One clear fee and one number to call.

How we work · Custom software

We start with a call to understand the problem, not to sell you a package. We look at the real flow, focus on the area that weighs on you most, and decide together what goes into the first version and what can wait.

We build in usable pieces. Every step forward is something you can see and try, not a promise on paper. You give feedback on the real thing, we correct course before a wrong choice gets expensive.

When the software holds we put it online and walk you through the switch. That’s where the part that matters begins: looking after it, keeping it fast and secure, and growing it as the work changes.

Concrete examples · Custom software

  • From spreadsheet to business software

    A company ran orders and stock on shared sheets that broke at every month-end. We built the software around their flow, with real-time stock levels and roles per department.

  • A private area for clients

    A firm got the same requests by phone every day. A custom portal moved documents and case statuses to where the client serves themselves, around the clock.

  • Systems that finally talk

    Business software and e-commerce were two islands, with prices and stock entered twice. A custom API integration ended the double entry and the errors.

Who it’s for · Custom software

It’s probably for you.

Recognise yourself in one of these? Then we’re already halfway there.

  • Companies that have outgrown shared spreadsheets and generic software

  • Anyone with a specific process no off-the-shelf tool covers without workarounds

  • Anyone paying for extra licences just to work around a packaged program’s limits

  • Anyone who wants one technical partner instead of five disconnected vendors

How we think about cost · Custom software

There’s no price list for custom: the cost depends on what it has to do. Anyone quoting a figure on the spot, without understanding the process, is guessing or selling you a packaged tool in disguise.

Three things weigh in: how many features you need, how many integrations with the systems you already use, and how much care and maintenance over time. Software with a few well-made screens costs less than a system with private areas, e-commerce and connected dashboards.

There are two lines to keep separate: the initial build and the fee that keeps the software updated, secure and alive. A good way to spend well is to start from the most critical area, put it into production, and expand only where it pays off. The quote is clear before we begin: what you see is what you pay.

Frequently asked questions · Custom software

How much does custom software cost?
It depends on what it has to do: features, integrations and maintenance over time. We start with a call, understand the problem and give you a clear quote before we begin. What you see in the quote is what you pay.
How long until it’s ready?
A few weeks for the first usable version, then we grow it with use. You see something concrete early and decide on the real thing, not on a theoretical spec.
Who owns the code and data?
Your data is always yours. Ownership of the code we agree upfront and put in writing: depending on the project it can be yours or stay with GIADA Labs under a licence for you.
Can I start with one area and expand later?
Yes, it’s how we prefer to work. We put the area that weighs on you most into production, you actually use it, and we expand only where it makes sense. You avoid paying for modules you’ll never open.
