Software is a great
combination between artistry
and engineering
Bespoke software is described as software directed at the needs and wants of both your customer and company brand. It is a growing trend in the digital world.
As technology advances and users evolve, bespoke software is being seen as a necessity in order to meet the complex demands of businesses and users. Bespoke software – sometimes called custom software or tailored software – is a software solution created for a specific user. Much like a bespoke suit, these software solutions are made and tailored entirely to your exact specifications. And because the solution is designed to your precise needs it will meet all of your business requirements.
These solutions are being developed to fit into your current ways of working, so you needn’t change how you work in order to employ the system. As the solution is tailored to your individual business, the solution can be easily integrated with other bespoke or packaged software, used to replace a legacy system, and can be updated and expanded in the future.
Bespoke software solutions adapt to the growth of your business. They easily accommodate process changes, increased workloads and additional integrations. The software’s flexibility allows your business to expand as much as it is necessary to meet your business’ needs and objectives.
Deciding to develop a solution that meets your business needs allows you make all the necessary integrations from the beginning, according to the existing hardware and systems that your business currently uses. There are no limitations as to what you can do with your own software.
Another major benefit of bespoke software is security. As you are the only one using that software and you have complete control over it, a hacker attack is less likely to take place. As compared with off-the-shelf software where hackers can exploit well-known issues and vulnerabilities easier. A tailor-made application that is only used internally cuts down the risk of attacks.
By developing a custom software that best suits your business’ needs and requirements, you have a competitive advantage as you are the only one that can benefit from the developed solution. You can easily differentiate yourself from your competition by having a unique and a better product dedicated entirely to your business.
Although the initial cost can seem higher as compared to off-the-shelf software, in the long run it will prove to be less expensive as licensing, upgrade and subscription costs will no longer be present. Also, when comparing costs between off-the-shelf and bespoke, usually costs as setup, customization and support are not presented in the off-the-shelf solutions. When added, numbers change.
you decide how and where it is implemented, and you have full rights over it. You can use it for as many employees as you need, and you don’t need to worry about additional costs or upgrades.
It is you who decides if it needs additional features or customizations. You can easily implement new changes and additional features according to your business’ growth or your clients’ requirements.
API is the acronym for Application Programming Interface, which is a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other. This enables applications to share data and communicate with each other without human interruption. It allows organisations to automate systems, enhance the seamless sharing of data, and integrate current applications.
After the explosion of cloud-based products and apps, organisations must create a connected system where data is relayed automatically between various software tools. API integrations make that possible as they allows sharing data among applications in a given ecosystem. API integrations unlock a new level of flexibility of information and service delivery.
At CodeOwners we have implemented a myriad of APIs already for our customers. from connecting Exact Online to PIM applications to connecting different IoT solutions. In almost everything we build we use APIs as well which makes us the ideal partner for you when it comes to API integration.
Although bespoke software becomes more and more common, there are still a lot of companies who are heavily invested in existing software or custom-built software which for the biggest part still works as intended but needs to be extended, customized or modernized.
At CodeOwners we strive to meet the needs and expectations of our customers without losing track of budgets. Whereas bespoke software can be costly, sometimes it’s not immediately necessary. Therefor we tend to look at the existing software and determine if it’s possible to extend or update it before starting from scratch.
By using the HUB approach we create a central portal (the HUB) which connects the reusable software and extend it with off-the-shelf tools. Only when we can’t find a viable existing tool we will develop a custom solution. This approach often guarantees the most cost- and time-efficient solution to your challenge.
ExactOnline is one of the more difficult applications to integrate with your other applications. More often than not, building the, often tailor-made, API integration has proven to be a time-consuming and costly endeavor.

Apply a cost-efficient way to find your perfect product–market fit. Test your idea before you spend your time and money building the complete product.
Research and development is focused on investigating new technologies and verifying ideas to set your emerging product on the right track or add a competitive advantage to any already-released solution. Our team approaches each case individually to identify the best technical opportunities and main barriers in order to answer the question: what to expect from your business idea?
Proof of concept
Make sure your product will find the right spot on the market with a proof of concept done right in 4 to 6 weeks.
Through validating the idea and rapid prototype development , we test out whether your idea can be achieved and what can be improved and/or changed. This gives you the ability to test your concept with actual users and can help to secure funding for the idea.
Innovation Research
Innovation research aims to test if your product / idea is feasible. This research usually takes 2 – 4 weeks and is conducted in a series of short sprints.
During the research, we work out how your product could be enriched and enhanced with with new technologies like AI, AR or maybe IoT. The aim is to define if we should develop a completely new technology or utilise an existing one in a unique way.
We create robust, maintainable code that supports future improvements and guide startups and scale-ups in their journey towards being highly efficient purpose-driven companies.
