Custom software and SaaS

Your software product, built and handed over

We build custom software end to end, from the data model to billing. It's multi-tenant if you plan to sell it, with Erica, our assistant, built in where it helps. Every project is scoped and scheduled before work starts, and you own the code and the infrastructure.

What does custom software development cost?

Inerica Systems builds custom software and SaaS products: multi-tenant platforms, dashboards, billing and integrations, scoped and scheduled per project. Builds start at $12,000, with a fixed quote before work starts, and monthly plans from $699 cover running it and building new features. You own the code.

How the work runs

From the tool you run on to the product your industry buys.

Every engagement follows the same route: what is going wrong, what we build to change it, where a rule or a person decides, and what you have at the end.

Product system route Scattered, disconnected tools; one layered system; a copper tenant boundary around a single customer's layer; separate copies of the product for many customers. 01020304
  1. The friction

    The business runs on a patchwork

    Spreadsheets, a booking tool and a billing app that don't talk to each other, and a process good enough that others in your trade might pay for it.

  2. What we build

    One system, built as a product

    Architecture, data model, dashboards and billing built in weekly increments you can use, not status decks.

  3. The boundary

    Each customer inside their own walls

    Tenant isolation, per-tenant sign-in and role-based access from the start, with every action in the audit log.

  4. The outcome

    A product you own

    Full source, infrastructure-as-code and docs handed over. Run it yourself or keep us on to grow it.

How it works

From idea to live, in four steps.

  1. 01

    Scope

    We turn your idea into an architecture, milestones, a dated schedule and a fixed quote.

  2. 02

    Build

    We ship working software every week, so you are testing the real thing instead of reading status decks.

  3. 03

    Launch

    We deploy to production with monitoring, backups and billing live.

  4. 04

    Own

    The full source, infrastructure-as-code and documentation are handed over to you.

What it costs

A fixed price before any work starts

Every build is scoped and quoted. We tell you the number before any work starts, and it does not move afterwards.

  • Architecture, milestones and a dated schedule before work starts
  • Running it and building features: monthly plans from $699/mo
  • You own the source code and the infrastructure configuration

Questions

What people ask before they start

How long does a first version take?

Custom software is scheduled per project. After scoping you get a dated plan with milestones, and because we ship every week you are testing real software early instead of waiting for a big reveal.

Is it really multi-tenant?

Yes. Tenant isolation, per-tenant sign-in, billing and AI cost metering are built in from the start, so you can take on customers without re-architecting later.

Do you handle billing and payments?

Yes. We integrate Stripe (or Stripe Connect for marketplaces) with subscriptions, usage-based billing, and customer portals so you can charge from day one.

What happens after launch?

You own the complete codebase and infrastructure configuration. We can stay on, on a monthly plan, to build features and run it, or hand it over cleanly to your team.

What does it cost?

Custom software builds start at $12,000. The quote depends on scope and integrations, and we send it, fixed, before any work starts.
