Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions from South African businesses planning a website, ecommerce platform, SaaS product, or custom software project.
When should a business build custom software?
Custom software is worth considering when spreadsheets, manual admin, disconnected tools or generic platforms are slowing the team down or creating reporting, integration and workflow problems.
Can DevTribe integrate custom software with existing systems?
Yes. We can connect custom systems to CRMs, ERPs, accounting tools, payment gateways, logistics platforms, websites and private APIs where access is available.
Who owns the source code after development?
Ownership depends on the project agreement, but we can structure projects so your business has clear access to the codebase, documentation and deployment process.
Can custom software start small and grow later?
Yes. We often recommend starting with a focused MVP or first module, then expanding with dashboards, integrations, automations and new user roles as the business validates the workflow.
