Custom software development

Software that fits how you work, and holds up once it is really used.

Got a process that could run better, or an application you built yourself that now has to go live? We build it with you, or make what is already there secure enough for real users, and keep it running afterwards. Just want to know how your code is doing? We can do that too.

“We were looking for an ERP package and could not find one that fit. Now Afternoon Code is building our own system, made to measure for Good Work.”

Dennis van Heerden, co-founder of Good Work, our launching customer

Is your team working around its software?

Data entered three times over. A spreadsheet only one colleague understands. A package that decides how you work, instead of the other way round. We start with your process and build software that fits it exactly, like the ERP we are building for Good Work right now.

Already built something yourself with AI? Then we make sure it runs securely and reliably for real users.

Three routes

Where are you now?

You are not stuck with your first choice. Start with a check and then decide to hand it all over? We build on what is already there.

  • Route 01

    I want to have as little on my plate as possible

    Fully managed

    From idea to a running system. We start with your process, build what it needs and keep it running afterwards.

    • Designing the optimal process with your end users
    • Custom application, integrations and customer or supplier portals
    • Data migration, implementation and change management
    • Hosting, monitoring and support
    View this route: Fully managed
  • Route 02

    I have already built something. Now what?

    Production-ready and secure

    From prototype to a safe go-live. What you built stays; we take out what is insecure or fragile.

    • Security and robustness check
    • Repair work and go-live
    • Hosting, monitoring and support
    • Your people keep building with our checks
    View this route: Production-ready and secure
  • Route 03

    I only want to know where I stand

    Second opinion

    Code check and risk analysis. Afterwards you know what can go wrong and what to fix first.

    • Full source code review
    • Report with findings from critical to cosmetic
    • Concrete recommendations, no abstractions
    • Optional: periodic re-check

Our checks

What we check before anything goes live.

Everything that goes live, ours or yours, passes the same checks. Part of them run automatically on every change. The rest a senior engineer looks at in person.

Built something yourself and we make it production-ready? Then these checks keep applying to your own developer afterwards, on every change they make.

Automated

On every change

  • Test suite and regression tests
  • Dependencies checked for known vulnerabilities
  • Secrets and configuration scan
  • Static analysis and code quality

Automated

Before every go-live

  • Backup and restore rehearsal
  • Performance budget under load
  • Accessibility check
  • Rollback path prepared

By hand

By a senior engineer

  • A former employee can no longer log in after leaving
  • An integration fails: what does your user see?
  • Customer data: where it lives and for how long
  • You suddenly get 500 users at once
  • The exception nobody had thought of
  • A new developer can still read the code
  • 65Years of software development experience, added up across our team
  • 3Routes, so you step in where you are now
  • 100%Ownership: code and data remain yours

Cases

Three routes, three stories.

The case stories are coming soon: one customer per route, what was going on and what it delivered. Curious already? We are happy to tell them in a conversation.

Describe what you have, or what you need:

Dennis van Heerden

“We looked at the standard ERP packages. They could do everything, except what we needed. Afternoon Code is now building the package that does fit, and they started by listening rather than building.”

Dennis van Heerden, co-founder of Good Work

Every change passes a person

Before anything goes live, a senior engineer reads the code. Is it secure, what happens when an integration fails, and will a colleague still understand it a year from now?

Curious which route fits you?

Tell us what you have and what you want. After one conversation you know what you need, and whether we are the right party for it.
