Since 2013 we've shipped 160+ custom projects for problems generic tools can't solve, working in two-week sprints.

We built the AOSP work for Mudita this way: customizing Android's open-source base at the kernel level for e-ink phones, not layering an app on top of stock Android. ![icon-cost-effectiveness](https://ordergroup.co/media/images/cost_effectiveness_1x_9SB9jzk.format-webp.width-1350.webp) ### Cost-Effectiveness Ready-made software might seem less expensive at first glance but requires customization to support company operations, which generates hidden costs. We scope the build once, against your actual requirements, instead of layering customization costs onto a license you already paid for. ![Shield icon representing security and reliability](https://ordergroup.co/media/images/security_reliability_1x.format-webp.width-1350.webp) ### Security & reliability Bespoke software is designed around your company's actual compliance and infrastructure requirements, which reduces the attack surface that comes with unnecessary features built for someone else's use case. We took the same approach on KYOTO's industrial IoT platform: the architecture was built around actual thermal energy monitoring and compliance requirements, with no generic IoT template features we'd need to lock down after the fact. ![Lightning bolt icon representing performance](https://ordergroup.co/media/images/performance_1x.format-webp.width-1350.webp) ### Performance Custom software optimizes internal processes, employee efficiency, and customer service with tailored tools for all your business operations. Automating manual processes gives teams back the hours they used to spend working around a generic tool's limitations. The Mudita AOSP work is the same principle at the OS level: customizing Android's kernel for e-ink phones meant the software ran the way the hardware actually worked, instead of carrying the overhead of a stock build it was never designed for. ## Successful projects ![Witold Bartnik](https://ordergroup.co/media/images/witold_bartnik.2e16d0ba.fill-240x240.format-webp.webp) Witold Bartnik CEO, REDS SA KYOTO - Industrial IoT & digital twin for thermal energy storage > “"A very forthcoming approach towards customer and a direct and strong engagement by high level managers in times of need."” ![KYOTO](https://ordergroup.co/media/images/Kyoto-Image_8.format-webp.width-1800.webp) ## What "custom" actually means here "Custom" only pays for itself when the alternative genuinely can't do the job: a file format it can't parse, a compliance rule it wasn't built for, hardware it doesn't recognize. Custom development means the constraints your business runs on shape the software, not the other way around. The projects we take are chosen for that same reason - they couldn't be solved by installing something and adjusting a few settings. Let's discuss your fit ## Describe your idea & get a quote in 48h!

That is how we approached the KYOTO industrial IoT and digital twin platform. ### Thorough understanding of your needs In the two months of Product and Design Workshops we run before development starts, we map user needs first, because a technically correct build nobody wants to use hasn't solved the problem. Projects **160+** Custom software projects delivered since 2013 Minimum budget **25k EUR** Minimum project budget for a custom software engagement Build time **7-9** Months, our standard build timeline from kickoff to launch Industries **15+** Industries served worldwide Process **2-week** Scrum sprints with a working demo each time ## FAQ for founders What all Founders and Product Owners think they know but are scared to ask... ![Maciej Sułek](https://ordergroup.co/media/images/T02DHCC1Z-U04AVB19V-45105f88ff4a-512.format-webp.webp) Maciej Sułek Co-founder & CTO [Let's book a meeting](https://ordergroup.co/contact-us/) ### What technologies do you work on? Depending on the type of application, we use various technologies: Python, Node.js, Django, React.js, React Native, and others chosen to fit your business goals. ### What specialists do you have onboard? The team composition depends on your project's needs: it can include a Project Manager, UX/UI Designer, QA Tester, and Frontend and Backend Developers, each added only where your project needs them. ### What does the custom development process involve? Our custom development process runs in four stages: discovery workshops that turn your brief into a scoped plan, two-week Agile sprints with a working demo each time, testing and QA before release, and after-launch support. We ran this exact process on the [AOSP](https://ordergroup.co/glossary/aosp/) work for Mudita and the [KYOTO](https://ordergroup.co/case-studies/kyoto-digital-twin-software/) [digital twin](https://ordergroup.co/glossary/digital-twin/). ### Can I review the progress during the custom development process? We work in two-week Scrum sprints, and every sprint ends with a working demo you can review. You see the backlog, the burn rate, and what changed since the last demo at every stage, not just at the final handover. ### What is the shortest possible time to deliver the custom application? A working MVP can be ready in about 3 months. A full product typically takes 7 months or more: about 1 month to organize the team, 2 months of Product and [Design](https://ordergroup.co/services/design/) Workshops, and another 4 months of Product Development and Testing. ### What is the minimum budget for custom software development? The minimum budget for custom [software development](https://ordergroup.co/services/software-development/) is 25,000 EUR; we do not take on smaller projects. If you want to know the estimated cost of your app, please [contact us](https://ordergroup.co/contact-us/). ### Do you help with support after releasing the product? We offer a range of [Support & Maintenance](https://ordergroup.co/services/platform-cloud-engineering/support-maintenance/) Services, from buying SLA hours to a more extensive support and maintenance agreement.
