Build, buy or configure
When to use the software you already have, when to connect it, and when building something is worth it.
Can I automate this with the software I already have?
Often, yes. Most business software already does more than it's set up to do, so the first step is checking what yours can do. Connect your tools next, and build a custom step only where neither covers the job.

Yes. AI now writes and tests much of the routine code, so a build takes far fewer hours. The deciding factor has shifted from price to choosing a partner who can make it work in a real business.
Read the full answer →Is it cheaper to build custom software or pay for SaaS?
Usually SaaS, when a product already fits the job. Custom software costs less only when you're paying for far more than you use, or when no product handles the step your team still does by hand.
Read the full answer →When should a small business not build custom software?
Don't build custom when a product already fits, when the workflow is rare or still changing, or when the savings don't clearly cover building and running it. Very small businesses are often better off with a well set-up off-the-shelf tool.
