Custom Software Development Company

DECK IT, Ahmedabad, builds custom software and web applications with agile Scrum teams for clients in India, the US, the UK, the Middle East and Australia; small apps take 6–8 weeks, larger systems 3–5 months, and most projects cost between ₹5 lakh and ₹40 lakh. Offering a unique experience to the users is vital for businesses to differentiate themselves from the competition. However, this is not achieved by building the solution using off-the-shelf packaged software or existing open-source software. That's why we are providing Custom Software and Web Development solution to the Industry.

Custom software development enables designing, building, scaling, integrating, and upgrading software solutions to address your business's specific needs and objectives.

With our experience across various technology stacks and industries, we can help to solve complex challenges through custom development of solutions that are either an enhancement of the functionality of an existing application or develop a new application.

Why choose custom software over off-the-shelf packages?

Each business has a different requirement. Whether it is the service offered to its clients or internal operations, digital solutions should address the unique needs and challenges.
Most digital software solutions are standardized options that may aid in the digital transformation of your operations but might not address the specific needs. With the off-the-shelf solutions, the options are limited, and most of the solution development is made within the available options.

We deliver custom web, mobile, and desktop software solutions across– B2B management, B2C interactions, and internal organizational operations with our Custom Development solutions. Our software solutions can be scaled up as per the requirement.

Custom build or off-the-shelf?

Off-the-shelf, unless your rules do not fit a product or it has to sit inside systems you already run. A product is the cheaper answer more often than a development company admits.

	Off-the-shelf	Custom build
Live in	Days to weeks	Six to eight weeks, or three to five months
Cost shape	Subscription, forever	Fixed price once, then support
Your unusual rules	You change the process	The software matches the process
Existing systems	Where connectors exist	By design
Who owns it	The vendor	You

A product is the cheaper answer more often than a development company usually admits. We will say which applies to you before you commission anything.

Custom software development: questions we get asked

When is custom software a better choice than off-the-shelf?

Custom software earns its cost when the way you work is a competitive advantage rather than a commodity. Packaged products make your process match the software; a custom build does the opposite. Where an off-the-shelf tool genuinely covers the job it is usually the cheaper answer, and we will say so.

How long does a custom software project take?

Small applications take six to eight weeks and larger systems three to five months. What sets the timeline is the number of integrations and user roles rather than raw feature count. We work in agile Scrum sprints, so there is working software to review throughout instead of a single delivery at the end.

What does custom software development cost?

Most DECK IT projects run between five and forty lakh rupees, roughly six to fifty thousand US dollars. Integration count, the number of user roles and whether existing data must be migrated move the number most. We scope before quoting, so the price is fixed rather than an open-ended hourly estimate.

How do you run a project day to day?

In agile Scrum sprints with a fixed team. You see working software at the end of every sprint and can change priorities between them, which is the main protection against building the wrong thing for months. DECK IT has worked this way since 2017, with a team of around twenty people.

Which industries do you build for?

DECK IT builds across healthcare, hospitality, transport and mobility, e-commerce and back-office operations, and runs its own products in hospital and hotel management. Clients span India, the United States, the United Kingdom, the Middle East and Australia. Domain matters less than whether a process is understood well enough to be specified.
