Kantex Custom Software
Software that fits the way you work
Custom software is software developed specifically for one organisation, around its own way of working, rather than an off-the-shelf package the process has to adapt to. Kantex builds web applications, customer portals and internal tools, and keeps developing them after the first version goes live.
Sound familiar?
Where organisations get stuck
When off-the-shelf software does not fit, we build an application that does. We design it together with the people who will use it and deliver in short increments.
Running on spreadsheets
Critical processes run on Excel files that only one person truly understands.
The package does not fit
Off-the-shelf software forces a way of working that does not suit your business.
Legacy systems
An old application is hard to maintain and can no longer be extended.
Capabilities
What Kantex builds for you
Web applications
Fast, secure applications that work in any browser and on mobile.
Customer and partner portals
A dedicated environment where customers place orders, track progress and find documents.
Internal tools
Planning, registration and administration tailored to your team.
Ongoing development
Short iterations, so the software grows with your organisation.
For example
- A customer portal with order status and documents
- A planning tool for field staff
- Replacing a legacy system step by step
How it works technically
From source to result
The flow diagram for custom software: which systems are the source, what the integration or processing does and what comes out.
Source
Your current way of working and existing data
The process as it runs today in spreadsheets, an off-the-shelf package that does not fit or a legacy application, plus the data held in it.
- Spreadsheets
- Off-the-shelf package
- Legacy system
Integration and processing
Design and build in short iterations
Together with the people who will use it, we design the application, build the smallest version that already delivers value and expand step by step. Ownership of the source code is agreed in advance.
- Design with users
- Web application
- Iterations
- Source code agreements
Result
Web application, portal or internal tool
A customer portal with order status and documents, a planning tool for field staff or a system replaced step by step, which keeps growing with the organisation.
- Customer portal
- Planning tool
- Ongoing development

Questions
Frequently asked questions about custom software
When should you choose custom software over an off-the-shelf package?
When your way of working sets you apart from competitors, when off-the-shelf packages require a lot of manual workarounds, or when you are trying to combine several systems into one workflow. For general tasks such as accounting, an off-the-shelf package is often the better choice.
Who owns the software?
We make clear agreements in advance about ownership of and access to the source code, so you do not become dependent on a single supplier.
How do we keep costs under control?
We start with the smallest version that already delivers value and then expand step by step. That way you only invest in features that prove necessary in practice.
