Service detail · Custom apps

Custom apps built around how your business actually works.

When off-the-shelf tools are too messy, too expensive, or only solve half the problem, Lucac can build a custom tool around the way your business actually runs.

What it fixes

If your team is wrestling tools instead of doing the work, you're paying for software twice — once in subscription, once in lost hours.

  • Spreadsheets everywhere, and the wrong version always wins
  • Manual job tracking that lives in one person's head
  • A messy quote process that loses leads between text, email, and paper
  • No client portal — clients have to call to get any update
  • No internal dashboard — nobody can see the whole pipeline at once
  • Repeating the same admin steps every day, every job, every week
  • Tools that do too much but not what you actually need

Starting prices

Custom business apps

$5,000+

Full custom builds — dashboards, portals, booking systems, job tracking, lead management.

Small internal tools

$2,500+ if scope is very limited

Targeted one-screen tools that solve a single, narrow problem inside your operation.

Discovery and planning

Included or scoped separately by size

Smaller projects roll planning into the build price. Larger projects get a paid discovery phase so the build doesn't drift.

Monthly support

Usually recommended (may be required for mission-critical apps)

Ongoing monitoring, updates, and small improvements through a Lucac care plan so the tool keeps working as your business changes.

Examples

A few of the shapes a custom app can take. Most real builds are some mix of these.

  • Quote request dashboard — every inbound quote in one place, with status
  • Booking system that fits your real schedule, not a generic calendar
  • Job tracking tool — who's on what, where, and what's next
  • Client portal so customers can see status, photos, invoices, and history
  • Internal admin panel for the office team
  • Scheduling tool tuned to how dispatch actually happens
  • Simple CRM that doesn't have 200 features you'll never use
  • Lead dashboard showing where calls and form fills came from
  • Form-to-workflow system that turns a contact form into a real job pipeline
  • Reporting dashboard for weekly or monthly numbers

What's included

  • Workflow discussion — we walk your real day-to-day before sketching anything
  • Scope definition in plain English so you know exactly what you're paying for
  • App planning — pages, data, who can see what
  • Interface design that fits your team (not a generic SaaS look)
  • Build, tested as we go
  • End-to-end testing before launch
  • Launch support so day one isn't a fire drill
  • Basic handoff and documentation so you understand what you own

Where this fits: this is for the stuff your business keeps forcing into spreadsheets, text messages, or tools that don't fit. We build the system around the work instead of making the work fit the software.

Best for

Businesses that have outgrown basic forms, spreadsheets, or manual admin work — and are losing time, accuracy, or leads because of it.
