Custom Software Development

Custom software development means building software from scratch for one organisation's own processes. It becomes relevant when business rules, integration requirements or scale go beyond what an off-the-shelf product can carry. Creamobile was founded in 2007, started developing within the İTÜ Çekirdek incubation programme, and today works from four offices: İstanbul Ataşehir, Mersin Teknopark, London Enfield and Piscataway, New Jersey.

When is custom software the right decision?

Not every need calls for custom software. If you need standard accounting, e-mail or file sharing, an off-the-shelf product is faster and cheaper — we say so plainly. Custom development becomes worthwhile in three situations:

  • When your process is what sets you apart. If your workflow differs from your competitors', bending it to fit a packaged product means giving up that advantage.
  • When several systems have to talk to each other. If your ERP, HR, field team and dealer network hold the same data in different shapes, no packaged product will write the layer in between.
  • When the software is part of your product. Embedded software running inside a device you sell, or the mobile application that drives it, is not something you can buy off a shelf.

Custom software development

What we build

Corporate web application development

Corporate portals and web applications

Role-based portals for a dealer network, a customer base or a workforce. This is our deepest area of experience: the Bosch Customer Portal unites six separate process systems on a single dealer platform, and the Schaeffler Customer Portal manages dealer processes for technical products.

On the corporate website and e-commerce side, bilingual content management, category depth and attribute-based product search are our baseline expectations.

Mobile applications

We develop native and cross-platform applications for iOS and Android. Mobile is rarely a standalone job here — it is usually the field-facing surface of a larger system: the three systems we built for Vodafone manage the device lifecycle end to end.

We also work on consumer-facing products; AktifLig and Bestup are two examples, and our role in each was different.

Mobile application development

Embedded software and IoT development

Embedded software, hardware and IoT

We treat software and hardware as one problem. We built the IoT infrastructure for Bosch R&D's TruckDefender and Smarthook safety devices; our own product ProdIoT is a KOSGEB-backed multi-platform productisation infrastructure.

The typical job here is to collect data from a device, make sense of it, and carry it into an interface where a manager can act on it.

The integration layer

Our solutions integrate with your existing systems over REST APIs and webhooks. In practice a substantial share of projects is exactly this: not writing a new screen, but making systems that ignore each other talk. Automating the 8D, warranty and campaign processes in Bosch technical service and factory software was work of that kind.

Which sectors do we work in?

We serve a broad range including automotive, education, tourism, manufacturing, retail and the public sector. Our centre of gravity sits in two of them:

Quality and process management in manufacturing, reservation and sales systems in tourism, and e-commerce and catalogue management in retail are the other areas we work in.

How we work: from analysis to maintenance

We run the whole process in one place. The stages, and what we expect from you at each:

  1. Discovery. We map the current process and find where the problem actually sits. The output of this stage is not a quote — it is a problem definition.
  2. Analysis. Functional and technical requirements are written and integration points identified. This is the stage where duration and cost become concrete; any figure given before it is a guess, and we do not give guesses.
  3. Development. We show working parts early; the cost of a misunderstanding is paid at the beginning rather than at the end.
  4. Integration and testing. With your real data, connected to your real systems.
  5. Go-live and maintenance. Post-delivery support is scoped at the start of the project.

The hosting choice is also made together at the outset: your own servers, the cloud, or our infrastructure.

Our training and process management products

Alongside custom development we build our own products for recurring needs. These are also used as a starting point for custom projects:

Frequently asked questions

How long does a software project take?

Duration is set by scope and becomes concrete during analysis. In the project-based model a team is formed around your requirement, and the project is run in one place from analysis to delivery.

How is cost determined?

By scope, integration requirements and maintenance expectations; there is no fixed price list. We quote after a scoping study.

Can you integrate with our existing systems?

Yes. REST API and webhook integration is our standard approach. The identUP product family additionally works with SAP HR, Logo Tiger, Netsis and Teknoera.

Can we host the software on our own servers?

Yes. In custom software projects the hosting choice is made together at the start; on-premise installation is supported.
