The short answer
Custom software is a program built for a company’s specific process, instead of adapting the process to an off-the-shelf tool. BAZROX is a studio based in Lanzarote that designs, builds and evolves it for small and medium-sized businesses and companies in Lanzarote and the Canary Islands.
One person answers for everything, scope and fee are agreed in writing before starting, and the code is yours once paid for.
Who it is for
For small and medium-sized businesses and companies in Lanzarote and the Canary Islands that cannot afford to improvise, including those with no technology team of their own. Hardly anyone starts out wanting custom software: you get there after trying with what was available.
- Information lives in places that do not talk to each other, and every answer means rebuilding the context by hand.
- The process moves forward because someone pushes it, and if that person is missing, it stops.
- The tool that used to do the job fell short and is topped up from the outside with spreadsheets.
What gets built
The most common projects, by type:
- Internal operations platforms: the tool your team uses every day, made for your process.
- Order and stock systems, job or case tracking, and quote generators.
- Booking systems with their own rules.
- Dashboards that gather data from several programs.
- Integration with the systems you already use, studied before designing.
- Web and mobile applications, when what is built leaves the office.
When you do not need custom software
If what you need is standard, buying it is cheaper, and we say so. That comparison is the preliminary analysis, and sometimes it turns out there is no need to build.
Building pays off in two cases:
- The process that sustains your business is part of what sets you apart and does not fit a tool made for a generic sector.
- You already pay for a licence and still fill the gaps with spreadsheets.
How the work is done
Three commitments that hold in every project.
- One person answers for everything. When the project calls for a specific profile, specialists join, always under the same responsibility.
- Scope, priorities and fee in writing before starting. Unless the work is simple and standardised, it starts with a brief preliminary analysis.
- The code we develop specifically for your project is yours, with its repository and its documentation, once the corresponding amounts have been paid.

Frequently asked questions
- What is custom software?
- It is a program built for a company’s specific process, instead of adapting the process to an off-the-shelf tool. It is usually an internal platform, an order and stock system, job tracking or a dashboard that gathers data from several programs.
- How much does custom software cost in Lanzarote?
- It depends on seven factors: scope, existing systems and data, integrations, number of users and permissions, the quality required, uncertainty and maintenance afterwards. No figures are published, because a serious price cannot be given without scoping the problem first. The fee is agreed in writing before starting.
- How long does custom software take to build?
- The timeline is set after the scope is defined, not before. The work is divided into phases and each one has an objective, a deliverable and a date agreed, so you can review progress without waiting for a single delivery at the end.
- Which businesses is custom software for?
- For small and medium-sized businesses and companies in Lanzarote and the Canary Islands that cannot afford to improvise and whose process does not fit an off-the-shelf tool, including those with no technology team of their own. If what you need is standard, buying it is cheaper.
- Who is accountable for the work?
- One person answers for everything. When the project calls for a specific profile, specialists join, always under the same responsibility, so you have a single point of contact from start to finish.
- Who owns the code when the project ends?
- The code we develop specifically for your project is yours, with its repository and its documentation, once the corresponding amounts have been paid. If we use third-party libraries or services, their licences are identified before they are incorporated.
