The question of the cost of developing cruise software is complex and cannot be answered in general terms. Factors such as functionalities, technology stack, complexity and project management influence the overall costs. In our knowledge hub, we give you insights into how to obtain realistic cost estimates and which aspects play a role in the development of your customised software solution.

Individual software, also known as customised software, refers to software solutions developed specifically for the needs of a particular company or organisation. In contrast to standard software, which is developed for a broad user base and offers general functions for various industries, customised software is tailored to the specific requirements, workflows and processes of an individual company.

Customised software is ideal for companies with unique requirements that are not covered by standard solutions. Especially in industries with specific needs, complex business processes, fast-growing environments or security-critical areas, customised software offers flexibility, scalability and the ability to differentiate from the competition. Companies that want to retain control over their software also benefit from customised software.

Customised software offers decisive advantages compared to industry software. It fulfills specific company requirements exactly through precise customisation. Exclusive control over the software enables flexibility and independence from third-party providers. Easy scalability adapts easily to business changes, while innovation opportunities provide room for creative solutions. Reduced dependence on third parties increases autonomy and allows organisations to shape their software strategy more effectively.
