Companies that have built with Kubo:

Custom software built around your processes

Standard software works when the process is standard too. When your company has its own rules, multiple roles, integrations, approval flows, or needs that a generic tool cannot solve, custom software lets you adapt technology to the business instead of adapting the business to the tool.

At Kubo, we understand the process, design the experience and architecture, build the solution, test it, and support its implementation. The result is a system that can integrate with your current operations and evolve as users, rules, and goals change.

When does custom software make sense?

Not every problem requires custom development. Custom software makes more sense when a standard tool forces you to change critical processes or leaves gaps that affect operations.

Proprietary processes

Your operation has rules, approvals, permissions, or exceptions that generic software cannot represent well.

Required integrations

You need to connect ERP, CRM, payments, invoicing, logistics, data, APIs, or internal platforms.

Multiple users and roles

The system must coordinate teams, customers, suppliers, or third parties with different permissions and flows.

Need to evolve

The product must grow in features, volume, users, or markets without being limited by a standard tool. If you already have a system and need to transform it, explore our software modernization services.

What custom software can we build for you?

Enterprise and operations systems

Administrative systems, internal tools, back office, sales management, logistics, approval flows, automation, auditing, and control.

Platforms, portals, and SaaS products

Customer or supplier portals, marketplaces, SaaS products, transactional platforms, and web applications with roles, analytics, and architecture prepared to scale.

Apps, APIs, and integrations

Mobile and web applications connected to ERP, CRM, payments, invoicing, data, cloud services, APIs, and artificial intelligence when it adds value.

Process automation

Internal tools, validations, documents, notifications, dashboards, and integrations that reduce manual work and operational errors.

Custom software vs. standard software

CriterionStandard softwareCustom software
ProcessesThe company adapts its operation to predefined features.The solution is designed around real processes and rules.
IntegrationsLimited to available connectors.Specific integrations are designed with existing systems.
EvolutionDepends on the vendor's roadmap.The roadmap can prioritize the business's own needs.
Initial investmentGenerally lower and based on licenses.Higher initial investment when scope is relevant, with control over the solution built.

If an existing tool already solves the problem well, we do not recommend building from scratch. The first step is to understand the need and decide which option makes more sense.

How we develop custom software

01

Understanding and scope

We map processes, users, business rules, integrations, risks, and priorities to define what the first version must solve.

02

UX/UI and architecture

We design flows, interfaces, and technical decisions before scaling development. The goal is to reduce uncertainty and build on a maintainable foundation.

03

Development, integrations, and QA

We build frontend, backend, mobile, and integrations through controlled releases. We test functionality, performance, security, and quality.

04

Implementation and evolution

We deploy the solution, support its adoption, and leave a path for support, metrics, and new features.

How much does custom software development cost?

Cost depends on scope, business rules, integrations, migrations, users, data volume, and operational requirements. As a reference of order of magnitude for enterprise projects:

ComplexityEstimated investmentEstimated time
LowCOP 40–70 millionAround 2 months
MediumCOP 80–160 millionAround 4 months
HighFrom COP 180 million6 months or more

These values are indicative references published by Kubo and do not constitute a commercial rate or a quote. The final cost depends on the actual scope of the project.

Frequently asked questions about custom software development

What does developing custom software mean?

It means designing and building a solution around a company's specific processes, users, rules, and integrations, instead of being limited to the features of a standard tool.

How long does custom software development take?

It depends on complexity. As a reference, a simple project can take around two months, a medium-complexity project about four months, and a complex platform six months or more.

What factors increase the cost?

The most impactful factors are usually complex business rules, integrations, migrations, multiple interfaces, high data volume, concurrency, and special operational requirements.

Can it integrate with systems my company already uses?

Yes. A custom project can connect to ERP, CRM, payments, invoicing, identity services, logistics, data, and other platforms through APIs or integration processes.

Can Kubo maintain and evolve the system after launch?

Yes. Support and evolution are defined according to criticality, users, rate of change, and the product's operational needs.
