We develop software, portals, and integrations for your business processes. The contract defines delivery of project-specific code; cloud, maintenance, APIs, and third-party licenses may have recurring costs. Book a 15-min consultation
Comparative Table: Bespoke Software vs. Packaged Software (SaaS)
| Feature | Bespoke Software (Allogic) | Packaged Software (SaaS) |
|---|---|---|
| Code ownership | Project-specific code delivered under contract; dependencies retain their licenses | Usage rights defined by the provider license |
| Flexibility | Scope designed for prioritized business rules | Configuration and extensions depend on the product |
| Integrations | Connectors developed according to system access and documentation | APIs and connectors made available by the provider |
| Evolution and costs | Requires maintenance, infrastructure, and investment in new features | Depends on provider plans, updates, and terms |
Why custom software
Packaged software can serve common processes well. Before development, we assess whether an existing product or integration already meets the need.
When a business process is differentiated — when it is your competitive advantage, or when it involves data, rules, and integrations no packaged product handles — custom software development may be appropriate. The decision should consider total cost, maintenance, and available alternatives.
At Allogic, custom development is not just programming. It is systems engineering: careful architecture, judicious technology choices, integration with the existing ecosystem, and code that lasts.
What we build
Bespoke web and data systems
Full web applications built from the ground up: operational portals, management panels, registration and workflow systems, reporting systems with embedded BI. Every system is designed for the client’s specific process — not a generic process with tweaks.
Operational process automation
We identify where your team spends time on repetitive work and build intelligent systems to automate it. RPA with decision capability, bots that read documents, systems that automatically route cases based on business rules and AI.
System-to-system integrations
Most companies already have production systems that don’t talk to each other. We build robust APIs and durable connectors that integrate ERPs, CRMs, legacy systems, SaaS tools, and other data sources according to their APIs, permissions, and limitations. Existing connectors can also be used when they meet requirements.
Software as a product (internal or external SaaS)
For organizations that want to distribute technology: we build multi-tenant systems, configurable modules, applications with granular access control, and infrastructure ready for multiple customers or multiple business units.
Our development process
Diagnosis before code
Before writing a line of code, we understand the business problem in detail. We map the current process, identify the real bottlenecks, and design the system architecture. You receive a detailed technical proposal — scope, timeline, and investment — before the development engagement. Diagnosis can be contracted separately.
Iterative development with visible deliveries
We work in two-week cycles with functional incremental deliveries. You do not wait six months to see results: you track progress, validate each module, and have the power to adjust direction along the way. Reviews help identify risks and adjust priorities before final delivery.
The source code is yours
Code developed specifically for the project is delivered to the client under the contract, with documentation and knowledge transfer. Third-party libraries, models, and services retain their own licenses. We identify these dependencies and operating requirements so the client can plan for system continuity.
Technology without dogma
We choose technology by the problem, not by what is trending. Typical stack: Python or Node.js for backend, PostgreSQL or MySQL for relational data, React or Vue for interfaces, AWS or the client’s infrastructure for deployment. If the context calls for something else, we use something else.
What we don’t do
- We don’t build institutional websites or standard e-commerce — there are specialized agencies for that.
- We are not a software factory with dedicated hourly squads — our approach is complete projects with responsibility for the outcome.
- We don’t use AI when it doesn’t make sense — if the problem can be solved with simple business logic, we write simple business logic.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum project size?
We take on projects starting at BRL 40,000. Below that, the cost of diagnosis and architecture is a disproportionate share of the total investment.
Can I hire only the initial consulting?
Yes. Technical diagnosis and architecture design are standalone deliverables. Many clients hire only that to validate whether the system they imagine is the right one before investing in development.
My company has an internal IT team. Do you work with that?
Yes. We can act as technical partners to your internal team — responsible for specific modules, architecture review, or training the team on the system we built.
Where is the system hosted?
On whatever infrastructure the client prefers: AWS, Azure, GCP, or on-prem. Architecture and operating responsibilities are defined for the project, including any external services.
