You get a working product, deployed on your own infrastructure, with a perpetual license, training and documentation. The source code itself stays with Almen, protected by contract. There's no subscription to keep paying and no lock-in — the system is yours to run, and you don't need us around to keep using it.

It depends on scope, and we pin that down in discovery before writing a line of code. As a rule of thumb, the build itself runs three to sixteen weeks. You get visibility every week and a demo every two, so you're never left guessing where things stand.

We quote after discovery — we can't put a real number on something before we understand how you actually work. That first conversation and assessment cost you nothing. And every project genuinely is different: the operation itself, the systems it has to talk to, the technology involved. That's why we don't publish ballpark figures — it would be a made-up number.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no — and we'll tell you straight. If an off-the-shelf tool does the job, we'll say so and charge you nothing for the conversation. It's worth switching when your business is the one bending to fit the tool: work happening outside the system, spreadsheets running alongside it, or paying for modules nobody uses.

Yes — you don't need to be a big company. When a smaller business has one specific operational problem, we build exactly that. The system starts small and grows with you, adding new parts without tearing up the foundation.

Yes, it's one of our two tracks. We work under your brand, slotted into your process, and your client never sees us. You pay per project rather than per month, so you can scale capacity when you need it without carrying the overhead.

On your own infrastructure. We deploy it there at handover, along with training and documentation, so your day-to-day never depends on our servers.

We don't disappear. We stay on hand for questions and adjustments, and the system keeps growing with you — new pieces slot in without rebuilding what already works. That's what we mean by being your natural evolution partner, not a vendor you're locked into.
