Custom Software Development FAQs
What Kenyan businesses ask us before commissioning a bespoke system — cost, timelines, integrations, ownership and support after launch.
Off-the-shelf software is built for the average user, so you end up bending your processes around it. Custom software development inverts that: the system is built around how your business already works — your own workflows, approval steps, reports and integrations. Microstation builds bespoke software in Kenya, and we will also tell you honestly when a standard package would cost you less and serve you just as well.
Custom software in Kenya is priced per project, not per licence, so there is no single figure. A focused internal tool, client portal or dashboard typically starts in the low hundreds of thousands of shillings, while enterprise systems with several modules, integrations and heavy reporting cost considerably more. Scope, integrations and data volume drive the price — always ask for an itemised quote with agreed milestones.
A focused tool, portal or dashboard is usually ready in 6-10 weeks. Larger systems with multiple modules, integrations and reporting take three to six months, delivered in phases so you see working software early — while changes are still cheap to make.
Yes. Integration is often the most valuable part of a bespoke build. We connect your software to M-Pesa and card payments, KRA eTIMS invoicing, existing accounting or ERP systems, CRMs, SMS and email gateways, and third-party APIs — so your teams stop re-typing the same data into different systems.
Yes. You own the software you paid for and the source code behind it, and the handover is set out in writing. You receive the repository, the database and the credentials, plus training and documentation, so you are never locked to us — or to anyone else — for future changes.
Yes, though it depends on what exists. We start by reviewing the code, database and hosting, then tell you plainly what is stable, what is at risk and whether extending the system is better value than rebuilding it. Nothing is thrown away simply because someone else wrote it.
Yes. We provide ongoing support and maintenance covering bug fixes, small enhancements, security and dependency updates, monitoring and backups — so the system keeps working as your business grows and the platforms underneath it change.
Ask for three things: systems they have built that you can see working today, an itemised written quote with agreed milestones, and a straight answer on who owns the source code and what support continues after launch. A developer who answers all three clearly is worth the small premium over the cheapest quote.
