Custom development
Your business has unique needs. They shouldn’t end up in a spreadsheet.
Standard software covers most of what an SME does. But there’s always what no one else does like you — and that’s exactly what sets you apart. Instead of leaving it in a separate file, we integrate it into your system.
Start with the right question
Many “specifics” don’t require any development.
The tool includes everything you need to adapt it without writing a single line of code: custom fields, lists, document templates, user permissions, and automated workflows. We always explore this option first — it’s immediate and costs nothing to maintain. Development only comes into play when the need is truly unique.
This approach is uncomfortable for a service provider: it reduces billable work. But it’s the only one that stands the test of time.
A real-world example
When the need is truly unique, this is what it looks like.
A fleet of devices, field technicians, and jobs to quote.
A complete module, fully integrated with their DoliPlus, was developed to manage everything in one place.
Technical side
- Client equipment under contract, each device tracked: serial number, location, photo, specifications
- Scheduled interventions in rounds, synced with technicians’ phones
- Pre-departure check to ensure the job is feasible: parts, stock
- On-site photos automatically uploaded for remote support
- Client-signed reports, digitally archived
Commercial side
- New work quoting based on site photos
- Recurring orders tracked, with alerts
- Job alerts to offer additional services
Management side
- Margin calculations
- Time spent per job
What’s been gained isn’t just time: it’s the cost of poor quality avoided in job preparation and planning — the forgotten part, the unnecessary trip, the quote waiting for a site visit.
What you keep
Your custom developments are lifetime-guaranteed.
With most publishers, a custom development is an asset that depreciates: with every major version update, you have to redo and repay it. You only realise this after three years, when the migration quote arrives.
Here, what we develop for you, we maintain, version after version. It’s our job, and it’s already paid for. This is possible because we maintain the code ourselves and the software that supports it.
A custom development is subject to a separate contract, priced before work begins: you know the cost before it starts.
