Why SoftwareKC

Custom software shouldn't be only for companies that can afford a full build.

Software built around how your business actually works is one of the best investments a growing company can make. It's also usually priced for companies with big budgets and an IT department. We're in business to put it within reach of everyone else.

Why custom software is worth it

Off-the-shelf tools make you work their way. Spreadsheets bend to anything, until they break. Custom software fits the way you already work: your rules, your exceptions and your numbers, in one place that the whole team can use at once.

Circle T Oil is a good example. They tracked every well, tax exemption and payout split by hand, in a paper file per well. That was a full-time job. Now it runs on a system we built, takes about four hours a week, and a high-schooler in the family handles the day-to-day.

What has always stood in the way is cost: a large project up front, then the ongoing work of keeping the software running. So we offer three ways to get there.

Three ways to work with us

Pick the mix of cost and involvement that suits the business.

Own it outright

We build the system and hand over the code, and you take it from there. A good fit if you have your own people to look after it.

Own it, with us on retainer

You own the code and keep us on retainer, so changes, fixes and support are there when you need them without starting a new project each time.

Subscribe to it

When a full build isn't in the budget, or you'd rather not maintain software, we build it for a nominal up-front fee and you subscribe. Your own custom system, run and maintained by us like a SaaS product.

Whichever you choose

What every project gets.

It starts with how you actually work

We sit down with you and map the real process, including the money rules and the exceptions that only live in someone's head, before we design anything.

Room to grow

Multi-user from day one, and ready for another location or another language when the business gets there.

Stable enough to run on

Day-to-day work doesn't depend on someone from our side standing by. It's built to run the business, not just to demo well.
