ROVQIX builds custom software for companies whose processes no longer fit generic tools — APIs, integrations, automation, internal platforms and data systems, built on Node.js, TypeScript and PostgreSQL with full source ownership.
Custom software is worth building when the process is your advantage, when licence and workaround costs exceed the build, or when no product on the market does what you need. We will tell you when that is not the case.
Priced before we start
Or ours, your choice
Handover, not lock-in
No proprietary runtime
Connecting the tools you already run so data stops being copied between them by hand.
Well-documented REST or GraphQL APIs with authentication, versioning, rate limiting and an OpenAPI specification.
Scheduled and event-driven jobs replacing the manual steps that consume hours every week.
Consolidating data from multiple systems into one queryable source with reporting on top.
Incremental replacement of ageing systems using a strangler approach, so nothing stops working mid-project.
Architecture notes, runbooks and API docs so another engineer can pick it up without calling us.
| Build custom when | Buy off-the-shelf when |
|---|---|
| The process is your competitive advantage | The process is standard for your industry |
| No product covers the requirement | Several products cover it well |
| Licence plus workaround cost exceeds the build | Subscription cost is lower than building |
| You need to own the data and the rules | Vendor lock-in is acceptable |
| Integration between systems is the actual need | One tool would replace several |
Most projects fall between $15,000 and $75,000 depending on scope, integrations and data complexity. Discovery gives you a fixed number before you commit to the build.
Eight to twenty-four weeks for most builds, delivered in two-week increments so you see working software throughout rather than at the end.
You own the code, the infrastructure definitions and the documentation. We use standard, widely-known technology specifically so another team can take over without a rewrite.
Yes. We work under NDAs routinely and are comfortable with client-supplied contracts, IP assignment clauses and security questionnaires.
Indicative ranges in USD. Every engagement is quoted to a written scope before work starts, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
$2,500 – $6,000
2–3 weeks
Best for: Defining scope, architecture and cost
$15,000 – $75,000
8–24 weeks
Best for: Platforms, integrations and automation systems
from $3,000 / month
Ongoing
Best for: Systems that keep evolving with the business
How we think about this work, in more depth.
Custom software
A 30-minute call, then a written proposal with scope, price and timeline within two to three working days. No retainer required to get a real number, and no obligation if the answer is that we are not the right fit.
