Custom App

Custom software, built precisely around your business

The team behind Pacific POS also builds one-off systems — web apps, mobile apps, internal tools — for operations that no product off the shelf fits. Fixed scope, weekly demos, and a number agreed before you commit.

When the honest answer is that nothing off the shelf fits

Thirteen products sit alongside this one, and we would rather sell you one of them. A product you can switch on in an afternoon is cheaper, faster, and lower-risk than anything built from scratch, and most businesses that think they need custom software actually need an existing product plus a willingness to change one internal process.

But some operations genuinely have no match, and forcing them into the nearest product is a decision that looks efficient at signing and then charges you daily for years — in workarounds staff perform, in data kept in a parallel spreadsheet, in the report that has to be assembled by hand every month. When that is the situation, building the right thing is the cheaper option, and the arithmetic is not close.

This is the packaged version of that work: a defined scope, clickable prototypes before any production code, weekly demos of software you can actually open and use, and a number agreed before you commit. Web applications, mobile apps for iOS and Android, internal tools and admin consoles, API and integration work, and legacy modernization where a system still works but can no longer change.

What you are buying is a product team rather than an agency. The same engineers build and operate Pacific POS, so documentation, tests, monitoring, and a support arrangement after launch are defaults rather than line items — habits formed by having to live with our own decisions. An early-stage logistics startup dispatching fifteen drivers by phone and spreadsheet had a driver app, dispatch console, and customer tracking link shipped as an MVP ahead of a funding conversation; that build is written up in full.

What changes

The day-to-day, before and after Custom App

Three frictions this replaces — described in the terms you'd recognise from your own week.

Today

The process runs on a spreadsheet everyone edits and nobody trusts

With Custom App

One system with real records, so the thing that used to depend on somebody remembering is just how it works.

Today

Off-the-shelf software fits eighty percent and the rest is manual

With Custom App

Software shaped to the actual workflow, so the twenty percent stops being somebody's afternoon.

Today

You find out what was built when it is finished

With Custom App

A demo every week from the first one, so a wrong turn costs a week rather than the engagement.

In practice

Where it earns its keep

An early-stage logistics startup was dispatching by phone call and shared spreadsheet at fifteen drivers, with a funding conversation approaching. A driver app, a dispatch console, and a customer tracking link shipped as an MVP in time for it.

What it does

Inside Custom App

Scoped before it starts

Discovery ends in a concrete proposal — scope, timeline, and price — not an open-ended hourly arrangement.

You see it weekly

Iterative build with a demo every week, so you steer the product while it is still cheap to change direction.

Web and mobile

One codebase strategy across browser and phone, chosen to fit how your people actually work rather than what is fashionable.

Connects to what you run

API design and third-party integration, including modernising a legacy system rather than replacing it wholesale.

Built for

Who's in it every day

The three seats Custom App is designed around.

Founder

Opens it to show investors and customers a working product instead of a deck, and to know what the next milestone costs.

Operations lead

Opens it because the workflow they run every day finally lives somewhere other than a spreadsheet and their memory.

In-house engineer

Opens the codebase — documented, tested, and handed over, so your team can carry it without us.

Getting started

How we get you live

  1. Discovery

    A short call to understand your goals, users, and constraints — then a concrete proposal with scope, timeline, and a price.

  2. Design

    Wireframes and clickable prototypes, so you use the product before a line of code is written and change your mind while it is free.

  3. Build

    Iterative development with weekly demos. You watch it take shape and redirect as it does, rather than reviewing it at the end.

  4. Launch & support

    Production deployment, training for the people who will run it, and a support plan that keeps it improving after handover.

It is the same team and the same process — this page is the engagement you buy, the service page is the practice that delivers it. If you already know roughly what you want built, start here. If you are still working out whether software is even the answer, the service page describes how we approach that.
