When does your business need a custom web application?

Repeated information, competing spreadsheet versions, and copying data between systems may be signs that a workflow deserves review. They do not automatically mean the company needs custom software.

A web application runs in a browser and can support a specific task: a dashboard, portal, form, or integration. The right size depends on the problem.

• 01The same information is entered in several places.
• 02The team depends on parallel spreadsheets for an important routine.
• 03It is hard to know who changed data or which step is pending.
• 04Customers or employees need to submit requests and track progress.
• 05A specific business rule does not fit off-the-shelf software well.

A ready-made tool may be better when it fits the process, has predictable costs, and meets access and integration needs. A custom solution may make sense when the process is specific and available alternatives create extra work.

Compare implementation, licenses, integrations, maintenance, support, and hosting. Software development also means maintaining a product over time.
