The short answer

When should you have custom software built?

Have custom software built when no package fits your business and you work around it with separate lists and double work. If an existing package does almost everything, buying is usually smarter, and By SBS will tell you so. If nothing fits, By SBS builds a CRM, till system, scheduling tool, app or client portal around the way you work, and that software is yours.

In short

What we do
Designing and building custom software, from a single integration to the system your business runs on.
Who it’s for
Business owners and SMEs who work around their software, instead of the other way round.
What we help with
Clients, quotes, scheduling, till, stock and hours, in one place and connected to what you already use.
First step
A no-obligation introductory call. After that you get a plan in plain language, with a quote.
Ownership
Everything we build is yours. You’re not tied to us.

Sound familiar?

Questions we hear a lot

If one of these sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

Your software no longer fits the way you work.

You work around your package, with exports, lists and arrangements everyone has to remember. The business has grown; the software hasn’t.

Short answerWe design and build software around the way you work: a CRM, a scheduling system, a client portal or the integration that is still missing. In pieces, so you are already using the first part while the rest is being built.

Everything is in separate Excel sheets.

Clients in one file, hours in another, and nobody knows which version is right.

Short answerClients, orders, stock, hours and documents: searchable, with permissions per employee. Usually this replaces a stack of spreadsheets nobody dares touch any more.

Till and stock don’t match up.

What you sell isn’t automatically taken off your stock. So you recount it in the evening.

Short answerPayment, stock and turnover in one, with the buttons your staff need instead of the two hundred of a package meant for everyone. And it keeps running when the internet drops out for a moment.

Clients phone about everything they could look up themselves.

Where’s my order, when is the engineer coming, could you send that quote again?

Short answerWith a client portal or an app, your clients see it for themselves. By SBS builds it and connects it to what you already use.

Decision guide

Buy, connect or have it built?

Not everything needs to be custom. If an existing program fits better, we say so. Click your situation.

Usually the smart move

Buy it, and we help you choose and set it up

That is usually cheaper, and you’re up and running sooner.

  1. We set out what you really need.
  2. We compare a few packages with you, honestly.
  3. We set it up and move your data across.

Usually the smart move

Connect

Then you never type anything in twice again.

  1. We look at which work you’re doing twice now.
  2. We link your programs together.
  3. You enter a customer or an invoice just once.
Everything in one place ExampleEverything in one place

Usually the smart move

Have it built

The system adapts to you, and it’s yours.

  1. We map out how you work.
  2. We build it in pieces, and you follow along as it takes shape.
  3. Everything we build is yours.
A CRM you actually use ExampleA CRM you actually use

Usually the smart move

An app or client portal

Clients sort things out themselves, and your people work with the same data wherever they are.

  1. We look at what your clients and your people want to handle themselves.
  2. We tell you honestly whether it needs to be an app, or whether a good mobile site is enough.
  3. We build it in pieces, and you follow along as it takes shape.

Usually the smart move

An introductory call

Then we work it out together. Sometimes the answer is that you don’t need anything new.

  1. You tell us how you work now.
  2. We tell you honestly what makes sense, and what doesn’t.
  3. Then you get a tailored plan with a quote.

He brings creativity, structure, and an in-depth understanding of the systems he recommends and implements, making him an invaluable asset.

Examples

What it can look like

Three examples we made ourselves, to show what is possible. Not client work: all names and data are made up.

Example
Example: A CRM you actually use. Made-up data, not client work.
Example
Example: A schedule for your whole team. Made-up data, not client work.

How we work

Look first, build second

Automating something that is not right only makes it go wrong faster. So it always starts with what actually happens now.

  1. Introductory call

    A no-obligation 30-minute call, online. You tell us how you work now and where it pinches; we tell you honestly what makes sense.

  2. Look

    We walk through your business: which programs you use, where your data lives and where time leaks away.

  3. Plan and quote

    You get a plan in plain language: what stays, what can go, where AI genuinely helps and what needs to be more secure. With a quote, so you know where you stand.

  4. Build

    What we advise, we build too. You see it while it is being built, and all of it is yours.

Why this approach works

Advice from people who build it too

No report that ends up in a drawer. What we advise, we make ourselves.

Everything we build is yours

Your data and your software belong to you. You are not tied to us.

Secure from the start

Security is built in from day one, not bolted on afterwards.

Our clients

What we built, and who we built it for

Not examples but real work: click a site and you’ll see it live. From a sports shop in Den Bosch to a diving school in Thailand.

All questions
What does it cost to have custom software built?
At By SBS, the price of custom software depends on what is needed, which is why there are no prices on the site. What shapes the work: how much is done by hand now, how many programs it has to work with and how many people use it. You’ll hear what it costs before anything is built.
How long does it take to have custom software built?
By SBS does not give a fixed lead time, because it differs per project and a made-up promise is worth nothing. What always holds: we build in working pieces, and the first piece is the one you get use from soonest. So you see it while it is being built, and you can adjust course along the way.
Can I have an app or client portal built by By SBS too?
Yes. By SBS builds apps for iPhone and Android, and client portals your clients log into themselves. For your clients or for your own people on the go, and connected to what you already use. If a good mobile site would give you the same, we’ll tell you so honestly.
Does custom software work with what I already use?
Yes. By SBS connects new software to what you already use, such as your bookkeeping, webshop or calendar, so you never type anything in twice. If an integration is more work than the problem it solves, we’ll tell you honestly before anything is built.
Will I be tied to you afterwards?
No. Everything By SBS builds is yours, your data included, with the explanation to go with it so someone else can carry on with it too. We are happy to keep it running, maintain it and build on it, but that is a choice, not an obligation.

In the cooperation he's always attentive and responding quickly to questions, and communicates in a very pleasant manner.
