How it works
To your own system in three steps.
Step 1Is it worth it at all?
We calculate standard against custom build. If standard is enough, we say so.
Step 2Start small
Core process first. Your team works with it early and gives feedback.
Step 3Extend & hand over
Extension, documentation, training. Code and access belong to you.
The technical view
Custom software without the custom trap.
The rule
We build with proven technology and good documentation. Every system must be able to live on without us.
The proof
The Structon Suite was built for our own use, along with a CRM for finance brokers in live operation.
When we advise against it
When standard covers almost all of your process or the budget only allows half-solutions. Half-built custom software is the most expensive kind.
Common questions
Bespoke systems – what managing directors ask us.
How do we tell whether building our own pays off?
By the calculation (see the break-even calculator above) and by three questions: is the process really special? Does it contribute to your competitive advantage? Will it stay relevant for years? Three times yes speaks for a custom build – otherwise we recommend the standard tool.
What does it cost, and how plannable is the price?
Small tools from about 5,000 euros, the typical mid-market range lies between 40,000 and 120,000 euros. We work with a binding price per stage: before each step you know what it costs – and you can stop after any stage with a working state.
Do we really own the source code afterwards?
Yes, completely and contractually assured – including documentation and all access. You can take over internally at any time or commission another provider. Precisely that freedom is one of the strongest arguments for building your own.
What if you as a provider are no longer available one day?
We build against that: proven technologies instead of exotics, documentation worthy of the name, and code any capable developer can continue. Software that works only with its builder is badly built – full stop.
Can we start small and extend later?
That is exactly how we prefer it: a first pass with the core process within weeks, then modular extension by real need. That limits your risk and delivers benefit from the first month.
How do we know you can do this?
Because we built it for ourselves: the Structon Suite (CRM + editorial system + AI functions) is our daily working tool, developed and run by us. Plus the finance broker CRM as a client project. We are glad to show you both in a meeting – live, not as a slide.
