About BUILDEV
What is BUILDEV?
BUILDEV is a Colombian software development company based in Cali. We design and build custom software, web applications, mobile apps, automations and integrations for companies that want to streamline their processes and grow with technology.
Where is BUILDEV located and which cities does it serve?
We are based in Cali, Colombia, and work remotely with companies across the country: Bogotá, Medellín, Barranquilla and any other city. Meetings are held over video call and project follow-up is done online.
What products has BUILDEV built in-house?
We have two products in production: Agendorio, an online scheduling SaaS platform for barbershops, beauty salons, medical and professional offices, gyms and studios; and Rentablo, an Android mobile app that splits each sale into supplies, salary and profit for freelancers and service businesses.
Services
What software development services does BUILDEV offer?
We offer custom software, web applications (portals, admin dashboards and SaaS products), mobile apps, process automation, integrations and APIs (payment gateways, WhatsApp and third-party services) and cloud infrastructure.
What is custom software?
It is a system designed and built specifically around a company's processes, instead of adapting the company to a generic program. The company owns the solution, can grow it whenever it needs to and is not bound by the limitations of off-the-shelf software.
Can you integrate WhatsApp with my company's system?
Yes. We integrate WhatsApp with scheduling, sales and customer service systems to send automatic confirmations, reminders and notifications. Agendorio, our scheduling product, already works with WhatsApp.
Can you improve or continue software I already have?
Yes. First we review the current code and infrastructure to understand their state, and then we recommend whether it makes sense to improve it step by step, migrate it or rebuild only what is necessary.
Projects, timelines and costs
How much does it cost to develop custom software?
It depends on the scope: number of modules, user types, integrations with other systems and platforms (web, Android, iOS). That is why we do not give generic prices: after a free initial conversation, we deliver a proposal with a defined scope, timeline and price.
How long does it take to develop an application?
A well-defined minimum viable product usually takes between one and three months; an enterprise system with several modules and integrations can take longer. We work in short iterations so you can see working progress from the first weeks.
What is the process for starting a project with BUILDEV?
Write to us through the form or on WhatsApp. We schedule a conversation to understand your needs, define the scope and send you a proposal. Once you approve it, we design, develop with regular deliveries, release to production and support the operation.
Will the code and software belong to my company?
In custom projects, ownership of the work is defined by contract starting from the proposal, so you know from the outset what is yours and how it is delivered.
Do you offer support after the software is delivered?
Yes. We provide ongoing support after the production release to fix, monitor and keep evolving the solution as your operation grows.
