Custom software development: pricing - init.d - sistemistica Linux, DevOps e sviluppo PrestaShop

Custom software development

Custom software is what you need when off-the-shelf tools fall short: management software that doesn't talk to the shop, a job done by hand every day, a portal for customers or suppliers. We build with Laravel and Vue, and write plugins and modules for WooCommerce, PrestaShop and Magento.

You can work with us in two ways: by the hour, for ongoing changes and improvements, or by project, with a fixed price agreed before we start. The ranges below give a sense of scale: every project is different.

Since we also run servers and infrastructure, the code we write reaches production and stays there: the same team is accountable for the application and the server it runs on.

By project, at a fixed price

Indicative ranges for the most common projects. The final price, with timelines and deliverables, is written in the quote before we start.

  • Single script or automation

    A repetitive job done by a program: data imports and exports, automatic reports, scheduled syncs.

    from 300 €

  • Custom e-commerce plugin or module

    A feature the shop doesn't have: pricing rules, special shipping, custom fields, links to external services.

    from 900 €

  • Custom API integration

    Two systems that talk to each other on their own: shop and courier, CRM and website, ERP and marketplace.

    from 1,100 €

  • ERP / management-software integration

    Orders, stock and customers kept in sync between shop and management software, without entering the same data twice.

    from 2,200 €

  • Custom web portal or management app

    A web application built around your processes: customer area, order or job management, supplier dashboards.

    from 3,300 €

By the hour

A single rate of €75/hour, the same as for sysadmin work. For ongoing work, hour packages are the better fit: they never expire and go down to €58/hour.

  • Backend & API development

    Laravel/PHP applications with Vue frontends: management tools, portals, REST APIs and system integrations, with automated tests and deploys.

    from 75 €/hour

  • E-commerce development

    Custom features for WooCommerce, PrestaShop and Magento: plugins and modules, ERP and payment integrations, optimised checkout.

    We connect your systems: APIs, data syncs and server-side automations that remove manual work.

It's right for you if

  • you do a job by hand every day that a program could do on its own
  • your shop and your management software don't talk to each other and data gets copied across
  • you need a feature no plugin does quite right
  • you inherited a Laravel application from another provider and need someone to maintain it
  • you want one point of contact for the code and the server it runs on

How we work

  1. step 1/4

    Analysis

    We understand the process and check whether a ready-made solution already exists: if it does, we'll tell you.

  2. step 2/4

    Quote

    Scope, price and timelines in writing. By project the price is fixed; by the hour you get an estimate before each task.

  3. step 3/4

    Development

    Versioned code, tested on a staging environment with realistic data before it reaches production.

  4. step 4/4

    Handover

    Code and documentation stay yours: any PHP developer can pick them up.

Frequently asked questions

By the hour or by project?

By project when the outcome is clear and can be described well: you know from the start what you'll spend. By the hour for ongoing changes or when the scope emerges along the way; with hour packages the hourly cost goes down.

Is the code mine?

Yes: code and documentation are yours, in a repository you have access to. Nothing that ties you to us.

Do you take over applications written by others?

Yes, it happens often. We start by analysing the code and the server it runs on, then tell you what is worth fixing now and what can wait.

How long does a quote take?

We reply within one working day. For larger projects a call may be needed to understand the scope before giving a fixed price.
