Stop paying rent on software you'll never own.
Generatic designs and builds bespoke business software as a practical alternative to costly SaaS. We shape it around your workflow, then agree licence, source-code access, hosting, and support before development begins.
For startups protecting runway, growing teams outpacing seat pricing, and established firms reviewing recurring software costs.

From subscription review to working software
A custom SaaS alternative is useful only when it solves the right problem at a sustainable cost. A typical project follows these stages.
- Step 1
Map the work you need done
We review the subscription, the tasks your team relies on, your data, and any integrations. The goal is a focused first release, not an assumed feature-for-feature rebuild.
- Step 2
Agree scope, cost, and ownership
Your proposal sets out the delivery stages, licence or source-code terms, hosting, migration, updates, and support before development starts.
- Step 3
Build, test, and hand over
We build the agreed software, test the important workflows with your team, document how it works, and plan a controlled rollout.
Built clean from the start
Built for your workflow
A purpose-built codebase, not a repackaged template.
Clear data flows
Data flows, integrations, and any telemetry are specified in the agreed scope.
Review and testing
Human review, testing, and documentation are planned around the product's handover needs.
Clear licence terms
We develop an original implementation and explain relevant third-party licence terms.

Discuss your softwareCommon questions
Can you replace every feature in our current SaaS tool?
We start with the features your team actually uses. Some products have years of development behind them, so we assess feasibility and data migration before recommending a bespoke alternative.
Will we own the source code?
Source ownership, access, usage rights, and third-party licence terms are stated in the proposal. We can discuss a lifetime licence, an annual arrangement, or a tailored agreement.
Can the software run on our own infrastructure?
Self-hosted, on-premises, and managed hosting can all be considered. The right choice depends on your security, performance, and support needs.
When does a custom build make financial sense?
We compare the build and migration costs, infrastructure, maintenance, and support with your current subscription over a realistic period. Sometimes keeping the existing service is the better option.
