Two-week iterations, not 12-month commits
Engagements are scoped in two-week sprints with clear deliverables. You can pause or pivot without breaking a contract.
Custom Software Solutions in Akron, Ohio
If you've already tried Custom Software with another Akron-area shop and it didn't move the number, we'd like to see the data. Most often the strategy was sound but the measurement was broken — and that's the first thing we fix.
What our Custom Software program covers in Akron
When the SaaS stack runs out — when you need a workflow nobody sells, or two systems that don't speak to each other, or a customer-facing app — we build it. Modern stack (TypeScript, React, Postgres, AWS/Cloudflare), clean ownership terms (you get the code), and engagement scoped in two-week iterations so you can stop or pivot at any time.
- Internal tool and admin-panel builds
- Customer-facing web and mobile applications
- API and webhook integrations between SaaS systems
- Custom Shopify, BigCommerce, and WooCommerce extensions
- AI-feature integration (chat, search, summarization)
- Code ownership transfer and handoff to in-house teams

Akron market context

Where our Akron client base is concentrated:
- Rubber and polymers (Goodyear, Bridgestone)
- Healthcare (Summa, Akron General)
- Higher education (University of Akron)
- Biomedical manufacturing
- Aerospace components

Frequently asked questions about Custom Software in Akron
What's a typical project size?
Small integrations: 2-4 weeks, $10-25K. Internal tools: 6-12 weeks, $40-120K. Customer-facing applications: 3-9 months, $100K+. We scope in two-week iterations so the budget never runs ahead of the value.
Will the software integrate with our existing systems?
That's usually the whole point. We build integrations to your CRM, ERP, POS, billing, and warehouse via documented APIs and webhook patterns.
Do you do AI features?
Yes — RAG search, document summarization, customer-support chat, and proprietary-data fine-tuning when it actually moves the needle. We're skeptical of AI-for-AI's-sake projects.
Do we own the code?
Yes, fully. Code lives in your GitHub from day one. If we ever stop working together, the handoff is a single repo permission change.
Do you work with businesses in Akron specifically, or just remotely?
Both. We're headquartered in the Elkhart, Indiana area and serve businesses across the Midwest and Great Lakes — including Akron and the broader Summit County / Ohio market. For Akron-area clients we'll come on-site for kickoff and quarterly reviews when it makes sense; day-to-day work happens over video and Slack like any modern agency.
