Business Software

Software made to measure, built around the way your company works — not the other way round.

Spreadsheets that do not talk to each other, one program for stock and another for invoices, data copied by hand from screen to screen: that is how a company loses hours every week. Tailor-made business software brings it all into one system, with the features you actually need and nothing else.

At DotLabs Studios we design and build custom business software for small and medium companies, shops and professional practices: we start from how you work today and build the tool that makes you work better tomorrow.

What your software can manage

Every system is different, because every company is. These are the modules we build most often: mix them, and let them grow over time.

Stock and inventory

Live quantities, goods in and out, batches, expiry dates and reorder thresholds with automatic alerts.

Orders and sales

From the quote to the order and on to delivery: every step tracked, with the status always visible to the whole team.

Invoicing and documents

Delivery notes, invoices and credit notes generated automatically, with the electronic invoice sent to the SDI, the Italian e-invoicing system.

Staff and shifts

Attendance, shifts, holidays and leave in one shared calendar, with different roles and permissions for each user.

Clients and suppliers

Complete records, purchase history, custom price lists and payment deadlines in one place.

Dashboards and reports

Turnover, margins, best-selling products and stock trends in clear charts you can export to Excel and PDF.

Custom business software: the processes of a company connected in one system

Why software made to measure

Ready-made software costs little at the start, but it forces you to bend the company to the software. Software built for you does the opposite.

Only the features you use: simple screens your staff learn in a few hours
Connected to what you already run: e-commerce, accounts, bank, couriers
Reachable anywhere: from the office, the warehouse or a phone, with the data always in sync
Grows with the business: new modules, users and sites are added when you need them

To keep track of contacts and deals too, the system can include a company CRM.

How we work

Analysis

We study the processes you run today with you, the bottlenecks and the goals to reach.

Design

We define modules, flows and screens, and show you a prototype before writing any code.

Development

We release the system in stages: you start using it early, and we improve it together.

Training and support

We train your team, import the data you already have and stay with you with support and updates.

Frequently asked questions

The answers to what people ask us most about custom business software.

How much does custom business software cost?

It depends on the modules and the integrations you need. After analysing your needs we send you a free, detailed quote split by stages, so you always know what you are paying for.

How long does it take to build?

A first version with the essential features is usually ready in a few weeks; later modules are added while the system is already in use.

Can I import the data I already have?

Yes. We import records, items and history from Excel, CSV or the software you use today, checking that nothing is lost on the way.

Does it work on a phone too?

Yes: we build it as a web application, usable from computer, tablet and phone with nothing to install.
