Individual software development: cost, process and benefits

A comprehensive guide for companies planning customized software solutions. Learn all about budgeting, execution and strategic benefits.

In an increasingly digitized world, companies face the challenge of making their processes more efficient and withdrawing from competition. Standard software often meets its limits. Individual software development offers the solution here: precise applications that are exactly tailored to your needs. But what does it cost, and how does such a project run?

Why individual software development?

Standard software (Off-the-Shelf) is often a compromise. It offers many functions, of which you only need a fraction, while specific requirements of your company remain unconsidered. Individual software is developed exactly for your processes.

Experience: The software adapts to your processes, not vice versa.
Competitive advantage: Unique features that your competition does not have.
Scalability: The software grows with your company.
No royalties: You are the owner of the software and do not pay monthly fees per user.

♪ The [development process](/services/software development): From idea to product

Professional software development follows a structured process to ensure quality and timeliness. We are guided by modern, agile methods.

1. Analysis and Conception

At the beginning is understanding. In workshops we analyze your requirements, define goals and create a technical concept. The result is a detailed specifications or a product backlog.

2. Design and Prototyping

Before the first line code is written, we visualize the application. Wireframes and click dummies (prototypes) give you an early impression of the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX).

3. Development (Agil)

The reaction takes place in iterative cycles, so-called sprints (usually 2 weeks). After each sprint you get a functional version of the software. This allows early feedback and flexible adjustments.

4. Testing and quality assurance

Quality is not a coincidence. By automated testing, code reviews and manual testing, we ensure that the software runs stable, safe and error-free.

5. Deployment and maintenance

After successful acceptance, the software will be integrated into your IT infrastructure. Even after the go-live, we do not leave you alone: we offer maintenance, support and further development.

♪ What costs individual software development?

The cost of individual software varies greatly depending on the complexity, scope and technology. A flat-rate answer is disgusting. However, coarse categor
