What custom software costs
Same logic as a shop: you pay for scope. A small CRM is not the same as warehouse, production and invoicing in one.
Price = how much you want covered
Custom software can cost in the same band as a shop: around €2,000, €4,000, €8,000, €20,000 or €40,000+. It depends how many processes it covers and what it hooks into.
Narrow tool
One job: enquiries, a client list, or a simple CRM.
Usual start
CRM or warehouse in stage one, basic reports and access.
Company operations
Warehouse + documents, orders, more roles, shop integration.
Wider IS
More modules, more companies, integrations and long-term growth.
CRM, warehouse, or both
You don’t have to build everything at once. Stage one fixes the biggest pain; the next year fills the rest — same as a shop.
- Custom CRM — companies, contacts, history. Instead of a sheet and email.
- Warehouse / WMS — inbound, outbound, stock, hooks into orders.
- Full internal system — flows you currently keep in several Excels and tools.
Stages, not a one-off price
Start around €4,000. Once the system is live, you add reports, more jobs, more hooks. The next stage can be another €4,000 — by priority, not a boxed list price.
