Every company uses software to run their business. For small companies with relatively standard business processes, off-the-shelf software is often the most economical approach. If the off-the-shelf software doesn’t do everything a company needs, it may be most practical to throw manual labor to fill-in the gaps, as long as the volume is not very high. As companies grow in the volume of business and sophistication, manual labor becomes more and more costly and uncontrollable, user errors increase in frequency, as do overall risks to the business. At some points, management needs to decide whether to upgrade to another, more advances product that’s readily available, or develop custom software fine-tuned to the needs of the business.

You may consider developing custom software if:

• There is no off-the-shelf product that satisfies your needs.
• There is off-the-self product that does what you need, but it’s very expensive.
• The software that you already have does most of what you need, and you just need to extend its functionality a bit. This can be a great way to save money by NOT investing into a bunch of new systems, and instead only developing the functionality that is missing.
• In some cases, custom software may be the only option to achieve your goals.
• It can increase visibility of your KPIs and provide for better decision making.
• Reduced human errors.
• Increased employee productivity.
