Solutions

Custom software covers a lot of ground, from connected hardware to enterprise platforms. These are the solution areas our in-house team builds most often, each backed by shipped products you can see in our case studies. Whatever the category, the path is the same: a fixed-price Discovery defines the scope, one U.S. team designs and builds it, and a membership keeps it running after launch.
VR/AR
Augmented and virtual reality software that turns a phone or headset into a working tool, not a novelty. We design and build AR and VR experiences for product visualization, training, and immersive customer engagement. Our work includes v.reel, an app that scans a room into a 1:1 3D model and lets users furnish it virtually before ordering.
IOT
Software for connected devices, from the hardware handshake to the dashboard. We build mobile and web applications that pair with custom hardware, capture sensor data in real time, and turn it into something people can act on. Projects include AXIUS, a Bluetooth-connected fitness device with a companion iOS app, and Aquametals, a web platform integrated with custom water treatment hardware.
Blockchain
Blockchain development for products where decentralization solves a real problem: tokenized rewards, smart contracts, and peer-to-peer payments. We help startups and enterprises decide where blockchain earns its place and where a conventional database serves better, then build the version that makes sense. We built PhoenUX, an ecosystem that tokenizes loyalty rewards across partners.
web and Mobile applications
Full-stack web and mobile applications built as one product, not two disconnected projects. We design and develop web platforms, native iOS and Android apps, and cross-platform builds, with a shared backend so users get a consistent experience everywhere. The DocLocker, Livapex, and Recreation Rentalz all shipped this way, spanning web, iOS, and Android.
Hipaa Compliant
Healthcare software with HIPAA compliance designed in from the first architecture decision, not bolted on before launch. We handle the data model, encryption, access controls, and audit logging that a real security review checks for, along with the BAAs your vendor chain requires. Recent healthcare work includes Enceinte Health, a care management platform, and Medico, a clinical workflow platform.
erp systems
Custom ERP integrations and extensions for the systems that already run your business. Our team has built integrations for NetSuite, Oracle, SAP, and other major platforms, connecting them to custom applications, dashboards, and field tools so data moves without double entry. We start by mapping what your ERP does well and build only the layer it's missing.
Enterprise systems
Enterprise software built to pass procurement, security review, and the first day of real use. We design and build internal platforms, operations systems, and customer-facing tools for large organizations, with SSO, role-based access, and documentation written for InfoSec teams. Stark's SPEKTR platform, which digitized foundation project execution and reporting, is one example.
Data platforms
Data systems that give your team one source of truth: databases, pipelines, dashboards, and reporting built around how decisions actually get made. We design data models that scale, integrate sources that never talked to each other, and surface the results in interfaces people use. Aquametals' hardware-fed dashboards and Digitalight's audit reporting platform are both built on this work.

things you might want to ask

Frequently asked questions

Who owns the code and intellectual property?
You do — the software we build for you is your asset. We recommend confirming the exact ownership terms in your agreement so everything is clear from the start.
Can the software integrate with the systems we already use?
Yes — custom software's biggest advantage is fitting into your existing stack. We integrate with enterprise systems, payment and accounting tools, and custom APIs as part of the build.
Do you build internal business tools as well as customer-facing products?
Yes — we build both, from operations and automation tools that save internal time to revenue-generating products your customers use. Many clients start with one and expand to the other.
When does custom software make more sense than an off-the-shelf tool?
Custom is usually the right call when existing tools force you to change how you work, when you're stitching together multiple products with workarounds, or when the software is core to your competitive advantage. For commodity needs, off-the-shelf is often fine — and we'll tell you when that's the case.
What counts as custom software?
Custom software is built specifically for your business and users rather than bought off the shelf. It fits your exact workflows, scales on your terms, and becomes an asset you own — instead of a subscription you rent.
