The short answer
Custom software is worth building when your process is the reason customers choose you and no product on the market runs it well. Redenn scopes each project to a written specification, a fixed price and a ship date, builds on a mainstream stack (Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase, Vercel) and, once the project is paid, hands over the code and every login. Projects are quoted after discovery.
What changes
- A process that used to depend on one person's spreadsheet runs in software the whole team can use
- Fewer manual re-entries between tools, because integrations move the data
- Reports drawn from live data instead of month-end reconstruction
- A system you own and can hand to any competent developer later
What is included
- Discovery workshop and written specification
- Fixed price and ship date in the quote
- Application build on Next.js, TypeScript and Supabase
- Integrations with accounting, CRM, email, SMS or payment tools as scoped
- Staging environment and release notes for each drop
- Documentation, and once paid, handover of the code and every login
How it works
- 01
Discovery
We walk through the process with you, capture the exceptions and decide together what version one must do.
- 02
Specification and quote
A written spec with screens, data and rules, priced as a fixed sum with a ship date.
- 03
Build in releases
Working software lands on staging in stages; you test with real data as it grows.
- 04
Launch and support
Go-live on Redenn Dynamic, Pro Managed or Enterprise hosting, or on your own accounts; monitoring and a support path come with Redenn hosting.
Price
Quoted per project
Prices are in Canadian dollars and exclude taxes. Any tax that applies is shown separately on your invoice.
Full price listWho this is for
Owner-led companies with a process that is genuinely theirs: a freight operator's load and driver allocation, a fabricator's quoting rules, a clinic's intake and follow-up, a builder's selections and change orders. In each case the rules are the business, which is where a bespoke workflow tool earns its keep.
Your project is led from Brampton and built by Redenn Informatics Pvt. Ltd., our engineering company in Patiala, India.
Build or buy: the checklist we use
We go through this before quoting. If most answers land in the 'buy' column, we will recommend a product instead of a project.
| Question | Points to buy | Points to build |
|---|---|---|
| Does a known product do 90 percent of it? | Yes | No, or the missing 10 percent is where you make money |
| Will the process change often? | Yes, and the product keeps up | Yes, and you need control of the changes |
| How many people use it? | Few, occasionally | Daily use across the team |
| Does it need to talk to other tools? | The product already integrates | Integrations are the whole point |
| Is the data sensitive or regulated? | The vendor documents compliance | You need control of where data lives |
What it costs
Every custom project is quoted from the specification. The running costs are the hosting tier (Redenn Dynamic CA$49 per month, Pro Managed CA$99 per month, Enterprise quoted) plus usage such as SMS, email, AI or external APIs, billed by each provider to your own account. Changes after the spec is signed are priced separately so the fixed price stays fixed.
Prices are in Canadian dollars and exclude taxes. Any tax that applies is shown separately on your invoice.
Usage (AI, call minutes, SMS, email) is billed by each provider directly to your own account; none is included in our prices. Ask about a trial period to see your real usage first.
Limitations and honest notes
Software needs maintenance: dependencies, browser changes and integrations move. Budget for a hosting tier that includes updates and for occasional change requests.
A fixed price depends on a fixed scope. If you are not sure what you want yet, start with a smaller discovery engagement or a web application prototype rather than a full system.
Redenn does not build software that duplicates a well-run SaaS product at a lower monthly price. The savings rarely survive the first year of maintenance.
Questions
How is custom software priced?
From a written specification produced after discovery. You receive a fixed price and a ship date; changes after signing are priced separately.
What if we do not know exactly what we need?
Discovery exists for that. A short, paid discovery phase produces a specification you can take to us or to anyone else.
Will another developer be able to maintain it?
Yes. The stack is Next.js, TypeScript, Postgres on Supabase and Vercel, all widely used, and the code and documentation are yours once the project is paid.
Where does our data live?
In a Supabase Postgres project, handed over to you at the end or managed by Redenn on a paid plan. Region options are chosen at setup; tell us if you have a residency requirement.
