Custom software development that ships in weeks, not quarters.

Most scoped builds run 4-10 weeks. We quote a fixed price and a date after one scoping call.

You do, on payment. The repo, infrastructure and deploy scripts are yours from the first week.

Yes. We start with a security and architecture pass, then quote the change you need rather than a rewrite.

Custom software development with XDQ Labs is priced as a custom quotation from our sales experts after a brief. Small internal tools usually fall in the USD 1,000 to 5,000 band, portals and workflow systems in the 5,000 to 20,000 band, multi-module operations platforms between 20,000 and 50,000, and large programmes in the 50,000 to 200,000 band. Each quote lists deliverables, milestones and a delivery date, so the cost does not grow during the build.

Replace spreadsheets when several people edit the same data, errors are costing money, or reporting takes hours each week. Custom software adds roles and permissions, validation, an audit history and dashboards that update on their own. We usually start by mapping how the spreadsheets are used today, then rebuild the core workflow in four to eight weeks and migrate the historical data before switching over.

Yes, we migrate applications from Bubble, legacy PHP and similar platforms to a maintainable stack based on TypeScript, Node.js and PostgreSQL. We begin with an audit of features, data and integrations, then rebuild in stages so users keep working throughout. Data migration is rehearsed before the final switch. A typical migration takes 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the size of the existing application and its integrations.

Off-the-shelf software fits a common process quickly, while custom software fits your exact process and becomes an asset you own. Custom software makes sense when your workflow is a competitive advantage, when licence costs grow with headcount, or when several tools need to act as one system. Often the best result is a mix: keep packaged tools where they work and build custom software around the gaps.

Yes, after launch you can choose a monthly retainer or a full handover to your own team. A retainer covers bug fixes, small features, dependency updates, monitoring and a regular security pass, with response times agreed upfront. A handover includes the repository, infrastructure access, deploy scripts and documentation. Many clients keep a retainer for the first three to six months while usage settles.
