South African businesses spending tens of thousands of rands on software subscriptions are now getting custom software built instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is because custom software is more accessible than ever \u2013 and it is thanks to Codehesion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Codehesion is South Africa\u2019s top software development company with a reputation for building world-class bespoke software for businesses of all sizes \u2013 from startups to JSE-listed enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Its integration of AI in its development process has further reduced the barrier to entry for many businesses, making custom software a more affordable option than expensive software licensing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith AI-accelerated delivery, the ROI on replacing expensive SaaS has become so compelling that any business spending over R40,000 a month on software licensing should already be having this conversation,\u201d said Codehesion CEO and founder Hector Beyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEvery case is different \u2013 ROI depends on the complexity of the build, the licensing costs being replaced, and how deeply the system integrates into the business,\u201d said Beyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe’ve seen returns in as little as six months, and in more complex builds, it can take up to four years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That said, even at the long end of the estimates, a four-year return on investment is still impressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Custom software also enables smoother business growth, as it is designed specifically for your business\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the opposite of software subscriptions, which are built as a catch-all, rather than to serve your specific requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe real cost is what you can’t do while you’re stuck on someone else’s platform. You can’t innovate because the system won’t flex,\u201d said Beyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou can’t integrate the way your business needs because the vendor’s API doesn’t support it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd if they ever deliver them, you’ll pay for the customisation on top of the licence. In the age of AI, that trade-off no longer makes sense,\u201d said Beyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Codehesion addresses these problems with its custom software, which is quick to develop and meets all your business\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Codehesion can help with everything from client portals that integrate seamlessly with existing systems and CRMs built around workflows, to operations platforms tailored to your logistics and booking engines that provide accurate customer data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith the speed AI enables today, the barrier to making that switch has never been lower,\u201d said Beyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
