Description

Index Solutions: software built for a specific kind of business

Each solution page describes one kind of software WavX builds for one kind of business: the modules it usually needs, a planning range from the WavX cost model, a realistic timeline, and the cases where a ready-made subscription product is the cheaper and better answer. Use them to decide whether custom software is worth it before you talk to anyone.

What a solution page is

A solution page starts from the business, not the technology. A clinic needs patient records, appointments and a pharmacy counter. A garage needs job cards, parts stock and estimates a customer can approve. A housing society needs maintenance billing and a visitor log at the gate. The software is different in each case, even when the code underneath shares a lot.

Every page in this section follows the same pattern, so you can compare them:

The modules that kind of business usually needs, and which ones are worth building first.

When not to build. For many small businesses a ready-made product is the right answer, and each page says when.

How custom software differs from an off-the-shelf product

Ready-made clinic, salon, gym and society products exist, and many are good. You pay a monthly fee, you start the same week, and the vendor maintains it. The trade-off is that you work the way the product works.

Custom software tends to pay off when you have several branches, a process no product handles well, data you need to connect to other systems, or subscription fees that grow with every new user. If none of those is true, start with a product. The build or buy calculator helps put numbers on it.

Related questions WavX has answered

Is it better to buy ready-made NBFC software or get one custom built for my gold loan business?

Buy ready-made if your gold loan process is standard and you want to be running within weeks; go custom when the packaged product forces workarounds. Gold loans have their own details: valuation by purity and weight, packet and vault tracking, loan-to-value checks against the day's rate, part-release of ornaments and auction notices. If packaged software handles these the way your branches work, it is cheaper. If staff keep parallel registers beside it, custom is the better spend. WavX builds that as your own software, fully custom, with a pricing model that fits you. Source

Housing society maintenance billing software custom or ready made?

Ready-made society software is the sensible choice for a single housing society: maintenance bills, receipts, defaulter lists and visitor entry are standard. Custom is worth it for a builder or facility-management firm running many societies, or a township with its own sinking-fund, utility and club rules. That build is an internal tool in WavX's published cost model, starting at ₹2,00,000, with UPI collection, GST invoices and Tally export as typical additions. Owning it removes per-flat subscription fees across many societies. WavX discusses the price openly after a free consultation at /contact. Source

I run a hardware and sanitaryware distribution business in Ludhiana with three godowns and about 6,000 SKUs. Stock is tracked in Tally and a shared Excel sheet, and transfers between godowns are never recorded properly. Should I buy ready inventory software or get one built, and what would custom cost?

A custom web application starts at ₹4,50,000 in WavX's published cost model (range ₹3.83L–₹5.63L) before add-ons such as roles at ₹60k, integrations at ₹60k and reporting at ₹50k. Whether you need one depends on a single test: run a packaged tool against a week of real transactions across your three godowns, and go custom only if transfers and billing need workarounds or the Tally sync falls short. Custom means you own the code with no per-user fee. WavX's price is open to discussion; try your combination at /tools/software-cost-estimator. Source

Custom clinic software vs ready made clinic management software?

Ready-made clinic software is the right choice for most single-doctor practices: it is quick to start, the subscription is predictable and the common workflows are already there. Custom software earns its cost when the clinic works differently from the template: several branches, speciality-specific records, package or instalment billing, an in-house lab or pharmacy, or integrations the packaged vendor will not build. The trade is a higher upfront cost and a build period in exchange for owning the code and the data structure. Source

Does WavX Solutions include audit logging in custom business software?

Role-based access control and audit logging are listed capabilities of WavX's Custom Software and Business Systems service. In practice, an audit log records which user created, changed, approved or deleted each record, with a timestamp, and is viewable by authorised admins. How much is logged, how long it is kept, and whether views and exports are tracked as well as edits are scope decisions made during discovery, so a buyer should state those requirements before the quote.

Is it better to buy a ready-made school ERP or have one built for our school?

Buy ready-made if your school follows a standard board pattern and can live with the vendor's report formats; build if your fee structure, assessment scheme or multi-campus setup keeps forcing workarounds. Ready-made systems start within weeks and usually charge per student or per year. A custom system costs more upfront and takes months, but the school owns the code and gets the exact report cards and fee rules it uses. Schools often decide after listing which current processes the packaged demo could not reproduce. Source

I have ₹3 lakh saved to start an online store for my family's dry fruits business in Delhi. Around 200 products, UPI and COD, Shiprocket for delivery. A friend says custom is overkill and I should use a ready-made platform. Who is right?

Your friend may be right for now, and the figures show why. A WavX Shopify setup on a template starts at ₹25,000 (range ₹25,000–₹75,000), while a custom e-commerce store starts at ₹1,50,000 for up to 100 products, with shipping integration such as Shiprocket a ₹15,000 add-on. With 200 standard products, UPI, COD and one courier, the template route leaves more of the ₹3 lakh for stock and marketing. Custom earns its cost with wholesale pricing, subscriptions or stock shared with the shop counter. Either figure is negotiable; the consultation at /contact costs nothing. Source

I'm a non-technical founder choosing between Shopify and a custom-built store for a made-to-order furniture brand. Each product has dozens of fabric and size options with different prices, and delivery dates depend on our workshop schedule. Which way would you go, and why?

Go with Shopify plus a custom configurator app, unless the configurator is the whole product. Shopify covers the catalogue, checkout, payments and order handling well, and being non-technical you benefit from not running servers. Its weak spots for you are the cap on variants per product and per-option pricing, which a custom app solves by building the chosen configuration and price into the cart, and workshop scheduling, which the same app can handle. Choose a fully custom store only if those rules keep growing. WavX builds both; describe your product rules at /contact. Source
