常見問題

1. How much does a custom system cost?

Most land between RM30,000 and RM200,000. The spread is about scope rather than quality - a system is usually a web interface, an API and often a mobile app, and the price follows how many of those there are and how complicated the rules between them get.

2. How long does it take?

Typically 30 to 90 days depending on complexity, assuming requirements are settled before the build starts.

3. What makes a project run late?

In our experience, four things, and none of them is writing code: decisions that stay open, photographs and copy that have not arrived, phone lines and merchant accounts waiting on approval, and a workflow that keeps changing after it was agreed. We will say at the start which of these sit on your side, because they are the ones that move the date.

4. How is payment structured?

Under RM10,000 it is 50% to start and 50% on delivery. Above that, 40% to start, 30% at an agreed midpoint and 30% on delivery.

5. Do we own the code?

Yes. On custom work the code belongs to you and you can take the source with you. We are not holding it hostage to keep you on a maintenance contract.

6. Can you deploy it on our own servers?

Yes. If you have your own infrastructure or a provider you have to use, we will deploy there.

7. Can it integrate with our existing systems?

Usually, and this is most of what we do. Accounting is the most common - AutoCount, SQL Accounting, Bukku and Xero - alongside POS systems, payment gateways and courier APIs.

8. What support is there after launch?

A one year warranty covering bugs and small adjustments. After that, maintenance contracts run annually from RM1,100 a month, which covers ongoing changes as well as keeping the thing running.

9. Can features be added later?

Yes, and the architecture is built expecting it. That is most of the argument for custom over off-the-shelf: when the business changes, the system can change with it rather than waiting for somebody else's roadmap.
