What is custom software?

These are IT tools produced in a traditional way in one go, for the specific needs of an entity (company, administration). Specifications are drawn up upstream.

Why tailor-make and not use standard software?

Because standard software is developed to be sold to a large number of companies. Therefore it is quite generalist and in no way personalized. It will therefore not be fully adapted to the needs of each business because all businesses are different and have different needs. Having a custom software will bring greater gains in terms of cost reductions, productivity or / and turnover. Many companies therefore use software created exclusively for them.
