Our work

Software we've built

We only show work we can publish: client product development, and the SaaS product we build and run ourselves.

Client project · FinTech / Payments

GatimaanPayments

The problem
Payment platforms involve multiple user workflows and business processes that need to work together in a clear and reliable experience.
What we built
Drasken Labs contributed to the software development of the platform, focusing on product functionality, user experiences and the implementation of features required by the business.

    WA Console

    The problem
    Teams on the WhatsApp Business API juggle accounts, phone numbers, message templates and webhooks across separate tools and raw API calls.
    What we built
    One console to manage accounts, numbers, templates and messaging, with an API and webhooks for developers and subscription plans for customers.

How it works

From first call to working software

  1. 1

    Scope

    We map the workflows, users and systems involved, and agree the scope, milestones and price in writing.

  2. 2

    Design

    The key screens and workflows are designed and reviewed with you before any build.

  3. 3

    Build

    Built in milestones, with a demo at the end of each, so you see working software as it lands.

  4. 4

    Launch and support

    Released to production with repeatable deployments, then 90 days of support.

Our promises

Commissioning software, without the risk

Four commitments in every project, in writing.

  • You own the code.

    Code lives in repositories under your organisation’s accounts from day one. Ownership terms are in the project agreement.

  • Fixed price per milestone.

    Scope, milestones and the price of each are agreed in writing before work starts, and payments follow the milestones.

  • A demo at every milestone.

    You see and try working software at each stage, with written updates on what shipped and what is next.

  • 90 days of support.

    After launch we fix issues and keep it running, then you choose ongoing development or a documented handover.

Built with React and Next.js, Node.js, NestJS, Python or Go and PostgreSQL, with automated tests and repeatable deployments on AWS, Google Cloud or Azure.

FAQ

Questions before you commission software

How much does custom software development cost?

Projects start from $2,500 for a focused business tool, $4,000 for an MVP or web application, $7,500 for a business application and $12,000 for a SaaS or complex platform; larger systems are scoped individually. These are starting points. Your quote is fixed, in writing, before any work starts.

Is the price fixed, and how do payments work?

Yes, once the scope is agreed. The quote splits the project into milestones, each with its own price and deliverables, and payments follow those milestones. Pricing is in US dollars.

Who owns the source code?

Code is kept in repositories under your organisation’s accounts from day one, and hosting accounts are set up in your name. Ownership and intellectual-property terms are set out in the project agreement, which you review before work starts.

How long does software development take?

It follows the scope. A focused tool is the quickest; a typical MVP runs eight to twelve weeks; larger platforms are planned in phases over several months. Because we build in milestones, you see working software at each one rather than only at the end.

Should I build custom software or use existing software?

Use existing software when it covers your workflow well enough — it is faster and usually cheaper to start. Custom software makes sense when the workarounds cost more than building: manual steps, disconnected tools, or requirements no product supports. If an existing product fits, we will say so.

What happens after launch?

Every project includes 90 days of support after launch. After that you can continue with maintenance and ongoing development, or take the software in-house with documentation and a handover. Ongoing infrastructure management is available through our Cloud & DevOps practice.

See Cloud & DevOps

Can you connect or replace our existing systems?

Yes. We connect systems that offer an API, a database we can access or a supported export — CRMs, payments, accounting, ERP, email and messaging. For older software, we first map what it does, including the undocumented rules, then improve it in place or replace it in stages so the business keeps running.

Do you work with businesses in the US, UK, Canada and UAE?

Yes. We are based in India and work remotely with businesses in the US, UK, Canada and the UAE: a regular meeting slot agreed at kickoff, video calls for decisions, written progress updates, a demo at every milestone and pricing in US dollars.
