Custom Software Development

Custom software development in India starts at ₹1,50,000 for simple single-module platforms and scales to ₹50,00,000+ for enterprise multi-module ERPs. AdelSocial offers three tiers: Starter Platform (₹1,50,000 for single-module CRM or basic HRMS), Growth Platform (₹7,50,000 for multi-module ERP+CRM+HRMS with mobile apps), and Enterprise Platform (₹25,00,000+ for fully custom with dedicated infrastructure). Pricing depends on modules, user count, integrations, mobile app inclusion, and infrastructure requirements.

Custom software timelines: Starter platforms take 8-12 weeks, Growth platforms (multi-module) take 16-24 weeks, Enterprise platforms take 24-32 weeks. The timeline includes: business analysis (2-3 weeks), system architecture (1-2 weeks), UI/UX design (3-4 weeks), agile development (8-24 weeks in 2-week sprints with weekly demos), testing/QA (2-4 weeks), and deployment/training (1-2 weeks). AdelSocial provides weekly progress demos so clients see continuous progress.

Choose SaaS (Zoho, Salesforce, SAP, Tally) when: your workflows are standard, user count is below 20, budget is under ₹5 lakh/year, and you don't need unique features. Choose custom software when: your workflows are unique, user count exceeds 50 (SaaS costs compound), you need deep integrations between modules, you want full control over data and IP, or you're building a product to sell. Rule of thumb: if SaaS subscription costs would exceed ₹10 lakh over 3 years, custom software usually has better ROI.

Our standard stack includes: Backend (Laravel 11 for most projects, Node.js NestJS for high-concurrency, Python Django/FastAPI for data-heavy or AI apps, Java Spring Boot for enterprise/fintech), Frontend (Next.js and React for web apps, Flutter and React Native for mobile), Databases (PostgreSQL for relational, MongoDB for document stores, Redis for caching, Elasticsearch for search), and Infrastructure (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, DigitalOcean with Docker and Kubernetes for scale). Tech selection is based on your scale, team, and long-term maintainability needs.

Yes. Data migration is included in all custom software projects. We migrate from: Excel/Google Sheets, Zoho (CRM, Books, People), Tally, SAP, QuickBooks, HubSpot, Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, custom legacy systems, and any system with database access or export capabilities. Migration process: data mapping (what fields map where), test migration (sample data), full migration (production data), and validation (ensuring no data loss). Zero-downtime cutover available for critical systems.

Yes. Every custom platform we build includes industry-standard security: SSL/TLS encryption, encrypted database fields for sensitive data, role-based access control (RBAC), audit trails for all actions, API authentication (JWT/OAuth 2.0), two-factor authentication, automated backups, DDoS protection via Cloudflare, regular security audits, and compliance with Indian DPDP Act and GDPR where applicable. Fintech and healthcare platforms get additional compliance (PCI-DSS, HIPAA, ABDM).

Yes. Growth and Enterprise platforms include mobile apps for iOS and Android, built with Flutter for cross-platform (recommended for 70% of use cases) or native Swift/Kotlin for premium needs. Mobile apps cover: user access (sales reps, field agents, employees, customers), real-time notifications, offline mode for low-connectivity areas, and integration with web platform APIs. Mobile apps are included in Growth tier (₹7,50,000+) by default.

Yes. Common integrations we build: Payment gateways (Razorpay, Stripe, PayU), SMS/WhatsApp (via WABA, MSG91), Email (SendGrid, SMTP), Accounting (Tally, Zoho Books, QuickBooks via API), Shipping (Shiprocket, Delhivery, DTDC APIs), CRMs (HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho), Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and any third-party service with REST/GraphQL API. Custom integrations typically cost ₹25,000-₹1,00,000 per integration depending on complexity.

Yes, 100%. On project completion and final payment, you receive: complete source code via GitHub repository, all third-party service credentials (hosting, databases, APIs), API documentation, database schema documentation, deployment guides, training materials, and architecture diagrams. You can hire any developer in the future to maintain or extend the platform. No source code lock-in, no royalties, no vendor dependency.

We offer three AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) tiers starting at ₹15,000/month: Basic (bug fixes, security patches, uptime monitoring), Standard (Basic + minor enhancements, performance optimization), and Premium (Standard + unlimited small features, dedicated developer, 24/7 support). All packages include server monitoring, backups, SSL renewal, and emergency incident response. Enterprise clients get custom SLAs with response time guarantees.
