Custom Business Software
Software built around how your business actually works.
ERP, CRM, operations, workflow and integration work for businesses whose current systems fall short. The person discussing your requirements is the person designing and building the software.
Sound familiar?
The trigger is a process, not company size.
Custom software makes sense when a process your business depends on isn't handled well by the systems you have.
“We're managing production in Excel.”
“Our ERP won't do this.”
“These databases don't talk to each other.”
“We enter the same information in three places.”
“Customers have to call us for information.”
“Our application is ancient.”
“We need a portal for customers or vendors.”
“Nobody can get the reports they need.”

Honest recommendations
Custom software when necessary. Existing software when appropriate.
If an existing product solves your problem better than custom development, you'll hear that first. Building software is worth it only when it fits your process better than anything you can buy.
When custom is the answer, it's built to be maintained. Impetus supports what it builds and keeps improving it as your business changes.
