Custom Implementation

Built by the engineers who wrote it.

When your business needs something the box does not do, we build it. The people who architected Goúri are on our payroll, not on a partner's invoice. No systems integrator. No agency markup. The same engineers who wrote the platform shape it around the way you actually operate, at roughly half the market rate.

01The premise

We removed the middleman.

The enterprise software industry does not really sell software. It sells dependence, and it prices dependence at whatever the market will bear. Every user is metered. Every module is unbundled and resold. Every change order is billed at three hundred dollars an hour by a consultant who learned the product last quarter.

The conventional path to a platform of this scope runs through an agency or a systems integrator, and that path carries a markup, typically forty to sixty percent, before a line of code is written. We have no intermediaries. There is no agency between us and the code, no integrator taking a margin, no outsourced shop marking up its own subcontractors.

We built it. We help you implement it.

02What custom work costs

Four tiers, published up front.

Most companies never need all four. The point of naming them is transparency: you should know roughly what a piece of work costs before you ever get on a call. Hover a tier to see what it covers, the typical effort, and where it lands.

Most of what people call customization lives here, and most of it we do without writing a line of code.

  • Legacy data migration
  • Chart of accounts design
  • Custom report construction
  • Permission architecture for complex organizations
  • Vertical template tuning and multi-location setup
03How the pricing works

Half the market, and it is published.

Our rate card sits at roughly half the market, and it is published, not negotiated behind an NDA. Wherever scope allows we price fixed bid, so the number you approve is the number you pay. We can do this for the same reason the platform is two hundred dollars a month. There is no intermediary to fund.

A systems integrator's rate covers

  • A bench of consultants between engagements
  • A sales organization
  • A recruiting function
  • A partner's margin, before any code is written

Our rate covers

  • Salaried engineers who already know the codebase
  • Because they are the ones who wrote it
  • No bench, no agency, no hand-off
  • Fixed bid wherever scope allows

And because we control the product, scope is knowable. The industry's reliance on open-ended time and materials exists because the integrator does not control the software. We do.

04How we deliver

Three owners, one continuous line.

A custom engagement is carried by three named people, and every hand-off between them happens inside our own building. You are never passed to a partner, a subcontractor, or a ticket queue. At each stage there is one person accountable for the work and reachable by name.

  1. 01Requirements, and the Gap

    Solutions Architect

    Before a line of code is written, the Solutions Architect works directly with you to establish three things: what your business actually needs, what Goúri already delivers today, and the precise distance between them. That distance is the Gap, and naming it accurately is the entire job of this stage.

    • Works with your team to document real operating requirements, not a wish list
    • Audits what the platform already does for your business out of the box
    • Identifies the Gap explicitly, the specific things Goúri does not yet do for you
    • Scopes only the work that closes that Gap, so you are not sold what you do not need

    What you receive before you commit

    01

    An itemized enhancement list

    Every enhancement written out specifically, so you can see exactly what will be built.

    02

    The price to build it

    What we will charge to deliver that list, stated plainly and up front.

    03

    A firm timeline

    Dates for delivery, so the engagement has an end you can plan around.

    Approved scope hands to the Functional Architect

  2. 02Build, and verification

    Functional Architect

    The Functional Architect takes the approved scope and owns it through construction. They sit between the developers writing your enhancements and the testing team proving them, so that what gets built is what was scoped, and so that nothing is lost in a hand-off between vendors, because there is no other vendor.

    • Works hand in hand with the developers building your enhancements
    • Translates the approved enhancement list into technical execution
    • Coordinates directly with the testing team throughout the build, not only at the end
    • Confirms true performance and functionality, not simply that a feature exists

    Verified build hands to the Delivery Manager

  3. 03Acceptance, on your specification

    Delivery Manager

    The Delivery Manager walks you through what was built, measured against the specification you approved in stage one. The engagement is not finished because we say it is finished. It is finished because you confirm it is what you asked for.

    • Walks you through every delivered enhancement, one by one
    • Measures the build against your original specification, not against ours
    • Confirms acceptance item by item, with you in the room
    • Escalates immediately, and by default, if anything falls short

If it is not right

Escalation is a built-in step, not a complaint process you have to go find.

If anything falls short of the specification you approved, the Delivery Manager does not quietly absorb it or negotiate it away. They bring in upper management and a dedicated project manager on the spot, and the engagement stays open until your requirements are met. That is the standing procedure, not an exception we make for difficult accounts.

05The engagement

How an implementation actually runs.

Six stages, start to support. Because the platform arrives whole, an engagement adds to a working system rather than assembling one from parts. Hover a stage to see what happens in it.

Stage 01 / 06

Scope

We map the work before we put a number on it.

  • A working session with the Solutions Architect who will scope your project
  • A fixed-bid proposal wherever scope allows
  • Rates published up front, not negotiated
06Support

One conversation to the fix.

We have no intermediaries. Architecture, backend, frontend, mobile, data, quality, and the domain expertise in accounting, inventory, payroll, and manufacturing all sit inside the business and on the payroll. When something breaks or something is missing, you are not routed to a queue and read a script. You reach the people who built the thing.

Every support interaction is staffed or supervised by the engineers who built the platform, not call-center workers reading from a script. A software company with a thin engineering bench can only sell what is in the box. When you need something the product does not do, the answer is a roadmap request and a wait of indeterminate length. An engineering company can say yes.

From the architect

For twenty years I built the systems large enterprises cannot operate without. Track and trace platforms moving goods across continents. Financial systems reconciling millions of transactions. Supply chain infrastructure for Fortune 100 operators. That work taught me what enterprise software actually costs to build, and it taught me something less comfortable: the price the industry charges has almost nothing to do with that cost.

A meaningful share of what you are quoted for a platform of this scope is intermediation, the margin of the agency, the integrator, the outsourced shop marking up its own subcontractors. We removed the intermediaries. What is left is the actual cost of building software, and the actual cost is far lower than the industry's price implies.

That is why our implementation costs what it costs. The people who architected these systems for the Fortune 100 are the same people who wrote this one, and they are the ones who will build what you need. We are not a company of business people who commissioned software. We are a company of engineers who built it.

Chief System Architect, Olympas

Tell us what your business does that the box doesn't.

Bring us the workflow no platform has ever fit. We will scope it, price it fixed bid wherever we can, and build it, at roughly half what an integrator would charge to do the same thing on software they did not write.
