How We Deliver This Fast

Not magic — methodology. Here's why we can replace your SaaS stack in days, not months.

200+ Pre-Built Modules

We don't start from scratch. Your app is assembled from battle-tested building blocks — scheduling, billing, CRM, approvals — then customized to your workflow.

AI + Human Expertise

AI handles the repetitive coding. Senior engineers handle the decisions that matter — security, architecture, and making sure everything actually works.

150+ Apps Delivered

We've replaced SaaS stacks for law firms, clinics, agencies, and startups. We know the patterns — so your build goes faster.

Data Migration

Your Data Moves With You

Switching tools is only scary if you lose data. We migrate everything from your existing SaaS — verified, validated, and kept safe throughout.

01

Export from your SaaS

We pull your records from Salesforce, HubSpot, Jira, Zendesk, QuickBooks — any tool with an API or CSV export. You keep the original data as your backup.

02

Transform to your new schema

Records are mapped to your custom data model. We reconcile fields, clean up inconsistencies, and preserve relationships (contacts ↔ deals ↔ notes).

03

Verify integrity

Row counts match. Key fields validated. Nothing dropped, nothing silently changed. We run checks before and after import so you trust what you see.

04

Import into your app

Data loads into your new system. You can test alongside your existing tools until you're ready to cut over. Original SaaS stays accessible until you say otherwise.

Security & Compliance

Security & Compliance, Built In

Every AltStack build ships with enterprise-grade security defaults — not an add-on, not an afterthought. Your infrastructure, your rules.

Encryption Everywhere

AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit. All secrets stored in managed vaults. Zero plaintext anywhere in the stack.

Role-Based Access

Granular permissions per user, team, or resource. Every action logged. Admin approvals for sensitive operations.

SOC 2-Aligned Architecture

Standard on every build. Access reviews, audit logs, change management, and incident response baked into delivery.

HIPAA-Ready for Healthcare

BAA-covered hosting, PHI encryption, audit trails, and access controls for any build touching patient data.

Your Infrastructure

Deploy on your AWS, Azure, GCP, or Vercel account. Data never sits on shared multi-tenant servers. You own the security posture.

Full Audit Logs

Every user action, data change, and admin event logged with timestamps. Exportable for compliance reviews or internal audits.

The 7-Day Delivery Guarantee

If we don't deliver a working application within 7 days of the approved design, you receive a full refund. No questions asked. We've maintained a 98.7% on-time delivery rate across 150+ builds.

  • Clock starts when you approve the design preview
  • Delivery means a fully working app, not a mockup
  • Revisions happen after delivery and are included in your plan
  • Large enterprise builds may have custom timelines

Questions About the Process

Transparent answers for teams evaluating custom software vs. SaaS.

The 7-day window starts when you approve the interactive mockup (Step 2) and ends when we deploy a production-ready application to a staging environment. This is a fully functional app, not a wireframe or prototype. Revisions happen after delivery and are included in your tier. For context, our median delivery time is actually 5 days.

Three factors. First, our component library contains 200+ pre-built, production-tested modules for common business workflows: CRM, scheduling, billing, document management, etc. Second, our engineers use AI coding tools that generate, test, and refine code 3–5x faster than manual development. Third, our team has built 150+ similar apps, so we know the patterns. We're not inventing solutions. We're assembling proven components and customizing them to your workflow.

Minor scope adjustments during the build are expected and free. If you realize mid-build that you need an additional workflow or integration, we'll accommodate it as long as it doesn't double the project scope. For significant scope changes, we'll pause, re-scope, and provide an updated quote before continuing. We never surprise you with additional charges.

Absolutely. If you have a design system, brand guidelines, or Figma files, send them over and we'll implement your exact design. If you don't, our team creates a clean, modern UI based on your branding (logo, colors, fonts). Either way, the final product looks and feels like your software, not a generic template.

We export your data from existing tools via their APIs or CSV exports, transform it to fit your new data model, and import it into your custom application. We've migrated data from Salesforce, HubSpot, Zendesk, Jira, Asana, Airtable, and dozens of other tools. The migration is included in your build cost. It's not an add-on. We verify data integrity post-migration and keep your original data intact as a backup.

Bug fixes are covered free of charge during your entire post-launch support window (30 days for Starter, 90 days for Growth, 12 months for Enterprise). "Bug" means any behavior that doesn't match the approved specification. After the support window, bugs can be fixed under an optional maintenance plan or by your own developers using the source code.

Yes. Most clients replace some tools but keep others. We build native integrations with whatever you want to keep: Google Workspace, Slack, QuickBooks, Stripe, Twilio, your email provider, calendar system, or any tool with an API. These integrations are built into your application, not bolted on with Zapier or middleware.

Every deliverable includes clean, typed TypeScript code with inline documentation, a README covering architecture decisions, database schema documentation, API endpoint reference, and deployment instructions. Any mid-level developer familiar with React and Node.js can pick up the codebase. We build for long-term maintainability, not just speed of delivery.

Our standard stack is Next.js, React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and Tailwind CSS, deployed on Vercel or AWS. This stack is chosen for type safety, developer availability, and performance. If you have strong preferences (e.g., Vue, Python/Django, MongoDB), we can accommodate them, though delivery timelines may extend beyond 7 days for non-standard stacks.

Every build undergoes a security audit covering OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, dependency scanning, SQL injection prevention, XSS and CSRF protection, and encrypted data storage. We implement role-based access controls, session management, and audit logging by default. Enterprise tier includes SOC 2-aligned architecture and compliance documentation for regulated industries.
