Why conventional business software falls short
Your process should not have to fit the software.
Growing companies often face off-the-shelf software that does not fit or traditional custom software that becomes costly and rigid after launch. Tixer offers a third model.
01
Traditional custom software with a high entry cost
- Large investment before your team uses it
- New quote for every process change
- Hosting, maintenance and support billed separately
02
Standard SaaS priced per user
- Your workflow follows the package
- More users mean higher licence costs
- Workarounds and duplicate entry remain

After signing, we map your processes and start development. We charge 20% of the agreed annual fee* at this stage.
Phase 2
50%
Your custom software goes live
At launch, you pay 50% of the annual fee. Your employees can start using the software from that point.
Phase 3

You then pay one fixed monthly or annual fee. Hosting, security, support and minor changes within scope are included.
*The annual fee is the price for a full year of using the tool, e.g. the monthly amount × 12.

View case studyFrequently asked questions about custom software.
Clear answers for companies looking to automate processes with bespoke software.
What is custom software and when is it worthwhile?
Custom software is business software developed around your specific workflows, roles and goals. It becomes worthwhile when off-the-shelf tools create workarounds, duplicate entry, fragmented data or high license costs, and when a more efficient process can clearly improve time, quality or growth.
What does custom software cost for a business?
The price depends on processes, integrations and complexity. Tixer starts development at 20% of the annual fee, followed by 50% at launch. From then on, you pay one fixed company-wide subscription without per-user licensing, making costs predictable and the upfront investment lower than traditional custom development.
What is the difference between custom software and SaaS?
SaaS is a standard package that is quickly available, but your team works within its existing features and usually pays per user. Custom software follows your own process. Tixer combines that process fit with a subscription that includes hosting, support and minor changes.
Which business processes can be automated?
Processes involving repetitive entry, checks, handovers or spreadsheet workarounds are often strong candidates. Examples include order processing, planning, quotes, reporting, approval flows, customer portals and administration. We first identify where time and errors occur and automate only where software adds measurable value.
How long does custom software development take?
That depends on scope and integrations. We first analyse the process and then build in phases towards a working solution. Your team sees the software early, allowing us to validate faster than a long big-bang project with no feedback along the way.
Can custom software integrate with our ERP, CRM or Excel?
Yes, when the existing systems provide a suitable API or another reliable exchange method. We can connect data flows between ERP, CRM, accounting, spreadsheets and other business applications so employees copy less information and work in one consistent workflow.
Are hosting, security, maintenance and support included?
Yes. The fixed fee includes hosting, technical maintenance, security updates and support. Minor changes within the agreed scope are included too. For a major new module or a completely new process, you receive a separate transparent quote beforehand.
Can custom software scale with our organisation?
Yes. We design the software around your roles, processes and expected growth. Tixer does not charge per user, so growing your team does not automatically add licence costs. As your operation changes, the tool can continue to be optimised within the agreed scope.
