Ari Lew | Jul 2, 2025 |
Modern businesses need more than off-the-shelf tools to grow and thrive in the long term. Custom software development is one method these businesses can choose to help, and when done right, it solves unique problems, fits specific workflows, and creates real results. Our award-winning agency specializes in building these tailored solutions, and we’ve seen firsthand how they can change the game for companies across many industries.
We would like to share real custom software development examples that show how smart digital tools lead to success. Whether you’re in retail, healthcare, logistics, or beyond, you’ll find helpful takeaways and inspiration here.
What Is Custom Software Development?
Custom software development is the process of designing, building, and launching software that fits a business’s exact needs. Unlike ready-made platforms, custom solutions are built from the ground up, just for you.
This means your software does exactly what you need it to do, without extra features you’ll never use. Whether it’s a mobile app, a backend system, or a customer-facing platform, custom software can be your secret weapon for growth.
Why Choose Custom Software?
- Better fit: It’s designed for your unique workflows.
- Scalability: It grows as your business grows.
- Efficiency: It removes friction and manual tasks.
- Integration: It connects easily with your current tools.
- Competitive edge: It gives you solutions your rivals don’t have.
Below are some inspiring custom software development examples from real case studies we’ve done for you to better see these benefits in action.
Success Story #1: NOW Insurance – Digitizing Medical Liability Coverage
Challenge: NOW Insurance, a digital managing general agency (MGA) providing medical professional liability coverage, aimed to distinguish itself as an advanced digital MGA. They needed to develop large-scale features for their platform to facilitate programmatic underwriting, policy delivery, and integrations with third-party services.
Solution: We partnered with NOW Insurance to facilitate technical product development. The engagement involved a dedicated team working directly with NOW's in-house product management to scope, define, and build essential features. The agile development process included two-week sprints, prioritizing features and bug fixes across organizational units.
Impact: Through this collaboration, NOW Insurance successfully developed a platform that addressed the lack of technological adoption in the specialty insurance industry. The technology-driven approach enabled them to write high volumes of professional liability policies with low overhead, maintaining competitive rates and loss ratios. As a result, NOW Insurance raised over $4 million in funding and expanded its business across key metrics.
Success Story #2: North American Production Sharing (NAPS) – Revamping Manufacturing Web Presence
Challenge: NAPS, a leading manufacturing outsourcing company, sought to enhance its website's visual messaging and improve brand perception. Their existing website lacked visual consistency, making navigation difficult and leading to reduced user engagement.
Solution: The team here conducted a comprehensive branding revision, including a new logo and customized design system. The redesign focused on simplifying navigation, establishing a solid digital identity, and ensuring consistency across the information hierarchy. The responsive, custom-designed website improved user navigation and retention without affecting SEO positioning.
Impact: The revamped website resulted in an improved user interface and readability, enhancing the overall user experience. The sleek visual aesthetic contributed to increased viewer retention rates and a more pleasant browsing experience for NAPS's audience.
Success Story #3: Facilitron – Streamlining Facility Management in Education
Challenge: Facilitron, an education technology company, needed a mobile application to improve facility management and scheduling. They required a solution that could enhance user experience and streamline operations for educational institutions.
Solution: Our experts developed a mobile application using React Native, focusing on iOS development and team augmentation. The app provided a user-friendly interface for managing and scheduling facilities, catering to the specific needs of educational institutions.
Impact: The mobile application improved facility management processes, offering a seamless experience for users. The collaboration with us enabled Facilitron to enhance its service offerings and better serve educational institutions.
Success Story #4: Preverity – Scaling Healthcare Data Analytics with Custom APIs
Challenge: Preverity, a healthcare data science company, aimed to scale its operations by developing custom APIs for efficient data querying and insight generation. They needed a solution that could handle complex data analytics in the healthcare sector.
Solution: We provided custom API development using Python and AWS, focusing on large language model (LLM) development for healthcare data analytics. The solution enabled Preverity to process and analyze vast amounts of healthcare data effectively.
Impact: The custom APIs facilitated efficient data querying and insight generation, allowing Preverity to scale its operations and enhance its healthcare risk assessment capabilities.
