DEEPSLATE
11 /Custom Web App Development

When off-the-shelf stops fitting, build the tool that fits.

Internal platforms, customer portals, and product tools designed and built to match your process — starting with discovery, not code.

01 /Where Clarity Breaks

Teams duct-tape spreadsheets, email threads, and software that almost fits. Every manual handoff costs hours, and the workarounds multiply as you add locations, brands, or volume.

02 /What's Included
01Discovery: stakeholder interviews and process mapping
02Product blueprint, scope, and a fixed quote
03UX design and clickable prototypes
04Phased development with weekly working demos
05Integrations with your existing systems
06Launch, team training, and documentation
07Ongoing support and iteration after launch
03 /How It Supports the System

Every engagement starts with discovery. We map how the work actually flows, define what the tool must do, and put a fixed scope and quote in writing before anything is built. Then we ship in phases, demoing real software each week so you steer the product instead of waiting for a reveal.

04 /Why Deepslate

We build the same way we do marketing: from the customer's decision path and your team's real process inward. The result is software your people adopt because it matches the way they already work.

05 /Pricing

Start with discovery. Build from a fixed quote.

Custom software fails when scope is guessed. We price the way we build: a short, fixed-cost discovery that produces a blueprint and a number you can hold us to.

Discovery Sprint

2–3 weeks. Credited toward your build.

  • —Stakeholder interviews across every team involved
  • —Mapping of your current process and its bottlenecks
  • —Technical audit of your existing systems
  • —Product blueprint: screens, data, and user roles
  • —Fixed quote and phased build schedule
  • —Yours to keep, whoever you build with
Full Build
Customquoted

Fixed price, set after discovery.

  • —Design and development in funded phases
  • —Weekly demos of working software
  • —Integrations with the tools you already run
  • —Launch, training, and documentation
  • —You own the code and everything in it
  • —Optional support plan after launch

Discovery is a stand-alone deliverable: the blueprint and quote are yours regardless of what you decide next. If we build, the sprint cost is credited against the first phase.

06 /Included

What we build.

One rule: the software has to remove real work, not add a new place to check. These are the products we build most often.

Internal operations platforms

Job tracking, scheduling, approvals, and reporting in one place — replacing the spreadsheet-and-email relay that runs your back office today.

Customer portals

A place for clients to log in, see project status, approve proofs, pay invoices, and find their documents — without calling your office.

Product configurators

Let customers or your sales team configure a product, see the price update live, and generate an accurate quote or order automatically.

Quoting and estimating tools

Turn takeoffs, price lists, and margin rules into fast, consistent estimates — so the number a customer gets doesn't depend on who built it.

Dashboards and reporting

Pull the numbers scattered across your systems into one view your leadership team actually looks at every morning.

System integrations

Connect the CRM, accounting, and project tools you already pay for, so data is entered once and travels everywhere it's needed.

07 /Which one fits.

Build custom if…

  • —Your process is the product and no tool models it correctly
  • —Manual handoffs and re-entry cost real hours every week
  • —You'd rather own the software than rent a workaround
  • —The tool needs to scale with new locations, brands, or volume

Start smaller if…

  • —An off-the-shelf tool covers most of what you need
  • —The process itself isn't settled enough to encode in software
  • —You need it live in weeks, not months
  • —The budget is a monthly line item, not a project

Scope the tool your business needs.
