Five Advantages of Custom Software Development

1. Custom Software is your own – and not someone else’s


Even though ready-made solutions can be cheaper and easier in the beginning, this type of software can have a lot of updates, regulations to abide by, and may not be a long-lasting solution for your business. Custom software development gives you freedom someone else’s out of the box software will not be able to.

2. Development is tailored for all of your needs and wants 

Your business is unique – so shouldn’t your software be as well? The sky is the limit when it comes to custom software development services. You can add in all the features and functionalities your customers will love on a custom solution without being restricted by any rules or boundaries a typical out of the box software will force upon you.

3. Lower costs in the long run

Ready-made solutions require regular fees and force you to use their internal development team when you want to customize your software at any point.

Although custom software development companies might be harder on a budget upfront, there aren’t any recurring fees and it is often cheaper to manage an ongoing custom development rather than needing one-off solutions.

4. Scale without typical issues

Businesses that use ready-made software will outgrow it at some point – it is inevitable. Once the cap is reached on that software, there isn’t much else to do than start from scratch all over again with new software. When businesses use a custom software development solution from the beginning, they are able to accommodate growth as they go.

5. Specifically integrate security precautions for your customer 

Businesses tend to collect different types of information from their customers – which means there should be a unique security solution for each one. Because you know your customer best, you know how to properly protect their data and can specifically work that into the development of your software.


The Charter Global team often recommends using custom software development because it tends to provide the most return on investment while boosting brand recognition to its customers. However, each business will require a different solution. When you are thinking about getting your own software developed, give us a call to see which solution is perfect for your business!
