How long does it take to build custom software?

Start with the scope

For Company Maxxing enterprise projects, indicative planning ranges are 6–10 weeks for a scoped pilot after data access and scope approval, 3–6 months for a production deployment, and 6–18 months or longer for a multi-unit program. The agreed scope, data readiness, integration access and validation requirements determine the delivery dates.

These ranges are planning assumptions, not guarantees. The clock starts when the agreed scope, usable data and required access are available.

A pilot proves one workflow

The deliverables include a controlled working pilot, an evaluation against the baseline and a recommendation on whether to proceed.

A pilot does not replace production security, integration testing or sector-specific validation. Each later phase is separately scoped and priced.

Production means operational readiness

A typical scoped phase includes up to four integrations, agreed migration, permissions, audit trails, monitoring, user acceptance testing and training.

The production plan defines human approvals, recovery procedures and the operating team before launch.

Enterprise rollout is a sequence

Each phase has its own acceptance gate and migration plan.

Security, governance and validation requirements are workstreams in the roadmap. They must be planned alongside implementation.

What changes the schedule

• Usable data and permission to access each source.
• Integration availability, vendor dependencies and migration quality.
• Security reviews, sector-specific validation and acceptance testing.
• A named business owner who can resolve scope decisions.
• Training, operational handover and an agreed launch window.

After acceptance

Production includes 90 days of defect support after acceptance. Enhancements are scoped separately. Cloud, AI usage and third-party charges are separate.

Get a scoped plan

We begin enterprise engagements with one scoped workflow, approved sample data and measurable acceptance criteria. The pilot evaluates usability, output quality and the business case before a separate production phase. Apply with the workflow, the business owner and the systems it depends on.
