Managed Custom Software

Your software,
we run it.

We build your custom platform, host it on Google's infrastructure, maintain it, and keep improving it month by month. Lower upfront cost. No developer hiring. No stale software.

Lower upfront than a full Build We retain IP, you license it Evolves with your business Firebase & React stack

Software that keeps
improving

Not a once-off delivery that ages the day it's handed over. A living product that evolves as your business does.

We build it to your spec

We scope and build a custom platform for your specific workflow — not adapted from a template. The upfront build cost is lower because we retain the IP.

We host & maintain it

Firebase infrastructure, regular updates, security patches, and performance monitoring — all handled. No DevOps skills needed on your side.

It evolves month by month

Your monthly license includes a feature budget. New requirements, workflow changes, and improvements are built in — not quoted separately every time.

Direct access to the builder

You're working with the same team that built DalaWhat — not a support ticket queue. Issues are resolved fast because we know every line of code.

Built for businesses with
specific operations

Managed SaaS works best when your operation is complex enough that generic tools don't cut it, but you don't need to own the asset outright.

Common questions

We own the underlying code and IP — that's how we can offer the lower upfront cost. You have a perpetual license to use it for as long as your subscription is active. If you ever want to buy out the IP and own it outright, we can discuss that separately.
You can cancel with 30 days notice. We'll give you a full data export and documentation of the system. You won't lose your data. If you want to continue using the software independently, we can discuss an IP buyout at that point.
Hiring a developer means recruiting, managing, and retaining someone — and if they leave, you're exposed. With Managed SaaS, you're buying outcomes, not hours. We handle the full stack: product decisions, infrastructure, security, and delivery. One monthly fee, no HR overhead.
Firebase hosting and infrastructure costs, ongoing maintenance and security updates, bug fixes, a monthly feature budget (number of improvements varies by tier), and direct access to the development team. No separate invoices for infrastructure or minor fixes.
