Custom Business Tools for Small Businesses
I build practical web applications that help businesses centralize information, streamline operations, and manage their daily workflows more efficiently.
Tools designed around the way you work, without unnecessary features.
What tools can be built for your business?
Every business has its own processes. When off-the-shelf software doesn't fit your needs, a custom tool can simplify certain operations without adding yet another application.
CRM and contact management
Centralize information about your clients, prospects, and partners in a tool built around your business.
- Prospect and client tracking
- Communication history
- Request management
- Opportunity tracking
Dashboards and reporting
Bring your data together and follow the key indicators in clear dashboards.
- Performance indicators
- Project tracking
- Automated reports
- Data visualization
Project and resource management
Organize your assignments, your team, and your external resources in a single, central space.
- Task assignment
- Deadline tracking
- Availability management
- Progress tracking
Internal portals and team spaces
Make communication and access to information easier with spaces tailored to different types of users.
- Employee portals

Specific business applications
Build a tool for a precise operational need when existing software doesn't fit.

When does a custom business tool become useful?
Spreadsheets that are hard to manage
When several people work on the same data, a centralized tool can make updates, access, and information tracking easier.
Software that doesn't talk to each other
A tailored tool can bring together certain information from several systems, when the necessary integrations are available.
A lack of visibility on your activity
Dashboards can help you follow projects, deadlines, resources, and the essential indicators.
Processes that are specific to your business
Custom development lets you design the features around your working methods, instead of adapting to software that is too generic.
Examples of business applications
- Example A
Internal CRM for a small business
A company centralizes its contacts, requests, and the progress of its opportunities in a simple application available to authorized team members.
- Example B
Contractor management portal
A company that works with external contributors uses a portal to track their profiles, availability, assignments, and documents.
- Example C
Operational dashboard
A manager brings together data from different tools to follow tasks, deadlines, and the key indicators of their activity.
These examples show possible applications. Features are defined according to the needs and constraints of each project.
How is your tool developed?
- Step 1
Understand your processes
We discuss your business, your current tools, your users, and the problems to solve. The first 30-minute conversation is free and comes with no obligation.
- Step 2
Define a first version
I propose a prioritized functional scope, with the essential features, a budget, and a project plan.
- Step 3
Build and test
I build the application and test the agreed features, taking your feedback into account at the planned stages.
- Step 4
Deploy and support
The tool goes live and the people who will use it are supported as they get started. Further improvements can be considered afterwards.
How much does it cost to build a business tool?
The budget depends on the number of features, the number of users, the integrations, and the technical requirements. To limit the initial investment, it is often possible to start with a first working version.

Prices are indicative and depend on the scope of the project. Hosting, third-party service subscriptions, API costs, and any maintenance are assessed separately.
Both technical and operational experience
My background in digital project management has taught me to work closely with operational teams and their constraints: coordinating resources, tracking deadlines, managing information, and improving processes.
I have also built several custom internal platforms: a recruitment CRM, a project management tool and a knowledge base.
This dual approach lets me design tools that meet concrete business needs while taking into account how they will be used day to day.
I am your direct point of contact, from analyzing your needs to deployment.
Tools adapted to your environment
Ease of use
Interfaces are designed around the features that are really needed, to make it easier for users to get started.
Integration with existing tools
Where technically possible, the application can communicate with the software and services your business already uses.
Scalability and maintenance
Development can be organized in stages so that new features are added gradually. Hosting, maintenance, and future development terms are defined for each project.
Frequently asked questions about custom business tools
What is the difference between off-the-shelf software and a custom tool?
Off-the-shelf software offers features designed for a large number of businesses. A custom tool is built around specific needs. The right choice depends on your budget, the features you need, and the solutions already available on the market.
How much does a custom business tool cost?
A simple first version can start from €3,500 excl. VAT. More complex projects require a tailored quote after an analysis of the features and technical constraints.
Do we need to replace our current software?
Not necessarily. A custom tool can complement the applications you already use or centralize certain operations. It depends on the integration options available.
Can we start with a simple version?
Yes. It is often a good idea to define an MVP, a first version that includes only the priority features, before considering further development.
Can the tool evolve after it goes live?
Yes, as long as its architecture and the maintenance terms allow it. Changes are defined and budgeted according to your needs.
Who takes care of hosting and maintenance?
These points are defined at the start of the project. Depending on the chosen solution, hosting may be provided by a third-party provider, and additional technical support can be offered.
Do you only work in Bordeaux?
No. I'm based in Bordeaux and support businesses across France, mostly remotely.
What if your tools finally fit the way you work?
Tell me how you work today, which tools you use, and what you would like to simplify. Together, we can define a solution that fits your business. The first 30-minute conversation is free and comes with no obligation.

This booking is a video consultation. An in-person meeting can be arranged in Bordeaux and the Gironde area, by appointment, where it makes sense. An in-depth analysis or an on-site visit is not included and can be quoted separately.
