Frequently Asked Questions

Everything about custom software development, pricing, timelines, technology, security, hosting, and working with Inversionsys.

Company & Trust

Inversionsys (Inversion Systems Private Limited) is a software development company that designs, builds, and maintains custom technology products. We deliver web applications, mobile apps, SaaS platforms, enterprise software, AI solutions, cloud applications, and business automation systems — plus our own modular CRM and operations platform used across 12+ industries. Our teams handle discovery, UI/UX, engineering, QA, deployment, and long-term support so you work with one accountable partner instead of juggling multiple vendors.

Freelancers can be a good fit for small, well-defined tasks. For business-critical software, a company gives you a dedicated team (developers, QA, project management, DevOps), documented processes, code review, security practices, backup coverage, and continuity if someone is unavailable. We provide structured milestones, written agreements, NDA protection, staging environments, and post-launch support — reducing the risk of missed deadlines, undocumented code, or abandoned projects that many teams experience with solo freelancers.

Our leadership and senior engineers bring 15+ years of experience in IT technology and custom software development. Over that time we have shipped products for startups, SMBs, and enterprises in the United States, India, and other international markets — across travel, healthcare, fintech, logistics, real estate, education, and more.

Yes. We regularly work with clients in the United States, India, the Middle East, Europe, and other regions. We align on time zones for stand-ups and demos, use English for all project communication, and invoice in USD or INR with milestone-based delivery suited to remote collaboration.

Yes. Visit our Customers page for case studies and success stories. Some enterprise work is under NDA — on a discovery call we can share relevant anonymized screenshots, architecture summaries, and references that match your industry. We are happy to walk through comparable projects before you commit.

Absolutely. We sign a mutual NDA before detailed requirements, wireframes, or proprietary business logic are shared. Your concept, data models, and documents are treated as confidential from the first serious conversation.

Yes. We do not reuse your unique business logic for other clients, we restrict access to need-to-know team members, and we use private repositories with role-based permissions. NDAs, secure communication channels, and audit-friendly development practices are standard on every engagement.

You do. Upon completion of agreed milestones and payment, we transfer source code, documentation, credentials, and deployment assets to you as defined in the contract. We retain no ownership of your custom application unless we explicitly license a pre-built component (such as our platform modules) under a separate agreement.

Cost & Budget

Cost depends on scope, complexity, integrations, compliance needs, and timeline. A focused MVP or business website might start in the low five figures (USD); multi-module enterprise platforms, mobile apps with backends, or regulated industry systems are typically higher. After a discovery session we provide a phased estimate with budget ranges — not a guess from a one-line brief.

Accurate pricing requires understanding user roles, workflows, third-party APIs, data migration, security requirements, and acceptance criteria. A fixed number without discovery often leads to change orders or cut corners. We prefer a short discovery phase so you receive a transparent breakdown: features, hours or milestones, assumptions, and optional phases.

Yes, for well-defined scopes. After discovery we can offer fixed-price milestones (e.g. MVP, Phase 2 enhancements) with clear deliverables and acceptance tests. Larger or evolving products may use a hybrid model: fixed discovery + fixed MVP, then monthly retainer or sprint-based pricing for ongoing work.

Yes. We offer monthly dedicated developer or squad engagements — one or more engineers working exclusively on your backlog with a set number of hours per month, sprint planning, and a single point of contact. This suits ongoing product development after an MVP or for teams that need extra capacity without hiring in-house.

Yes. Dedicated developers (or a small pod: backend, frontend, QA) embed in your workflow — daily stand-ups, your tools (Jira, Slack, GitHub), and your priorities. You get continuity and deep context on your codebase without recruitment overhead.

Rates vary by technology, seniority, and engagement type (offshore, hybrid, or US-facing delivery). As a guide, standard engineering typically falls in competitive mid-market bands; senior architects and specialized stacks (AI, healthcare, fintech compliance) are higher. We share a clear rate card after understanding your stack and team composition — no surprise billing.

No. Our proposals list what is included: development, QA, project management, staging setup, and agreed revisions. Third-party costs (hosting, app store fees, SMS gateways, payment gateways, licensed APIs) are called out separately. Change requests outside scope are estimated and approved before work starts.

Yes — and we recommend it. A phased roadmap lets you launch a high-value MVP first (core users, core revenue path), gather feedback, then fund Phase 2 features. Each phase has its own budget and timeline so capital is deployed as the product proves value.

We accept bank transfer (ACH/wire in USD, NEFT/RTGS in INR), international wire, and card payments where applicable. Business and enterprise clients can use milestone invoicing with NET-15 or NET-30 terms after credit approval.

Most projects begin with an initial milestone deposit (often 30–40% of Phase 1) to reserve the team and cover discovery/kickoff. Remaining payments tie to documented milestones or monthly cycles. Exact terms are in your statement of work.

Project Timeline

Timelines depend on scope. A marketing website or small admin tool might take 4–8 weeks; an MVP web or mobile app often runs 10–16 weeks; enterprise ERP/CRM integrations or multi-app platforms can span several months in phases. We provide a schedule with milestones after discovery.

We can accelerate delivery with a focused scope, parallel workstreams, and additional senior resources — subject to team availability. Rush engagements may carry a priority fee. We will be honest if a deadline is unrealistic without cutting QA or security; we never promise impossible dates.

We track risks early in weekly status reports. Delays from our side are addressed with a recovery plan at no unfair penalty to you. Delays from scope changes, missing content, or third-party API approvals extend the timeline proportionally — always communicated and documented before impact.

Yes. You receive regular updates — typically weekly written summaries plus a demo or call for active builds. You also get access to a staging environment, ticket board, and Git activity so progress is visible between meetings.

We break work into milestones with defined deliverables, demo dates, and acceptance criteria. Each milestone maps to a payment gate where applicable. Tools like Jira or Linear track tasks; documentation and release notes accompany each handoff.

Technology

We use modern, proven stacks: PHP/Laravel, Java, .NET, Node.js, Python, React, Next.js, Vue, Flutter, React Native, Swift/Kotlin for native mobile, and SQL/NoSQL databases. Stack choice follows your requirements — performance, team skills, integrations, and long-term maintainability — not trends alone.

Yes. We build corporate websites, landing pages, customer portals, e-commerce storefronts, and web applications — responsive, fast, and SEO-ready. We work with Laravel, React, WordPress, and headless CMS architectures depending on your content and scaling needs.

Yes. We develop native Android (Kotlin/Java) and iOS (Swift) apps as well as cross-platform solutions. Apps include API integration, push notifications, offline modes, analytics, and store-ready builds.

Yes. Flutter and React Native are our primary cross-platform frameworks — one codebase for iOS and Android with near-native performance for most business apps. We recommend native when you need heavy device-specific features or maximum graphics performance.

Yes. We build multi-tenant SaaS products with subscription billing, role-based access, admin dashboards, API layers, and usage metering. Our own Inversionsys platform is an example of modular SaaS architecture we can replicate or extend for your product vision.

Yes. We implement and customize CRM, ERP, and operations systems — including our Inversionsys modules for leads, projects, finance, and support — or integrate with Salesforce, Zoho, HubSpot, and legacy ERPs when a hybrid approach is best.

Yes. Payments (Stripe, Razorpay, PayPal), maps, SMS/email, GDS/travel APIs, healthcare HL7/FHIR, accounting, shipping, social login, and hundreds of other APIs are part of our daily work. We design integration layers with retries, logging, and clear error handling.

Yes. We use AI-assisted tools internally to speed up boilerplate and testing, and we build AI features for clients: document processing, chatbots, recommendation engines, workflow automation, and analytics — always with human review for production-critical logic.

Yes. We integrate OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, and open-source models via secure API gateways — with prompt design, guardrails, rate limiting, cost controls, and privacy rules so customer data is handled appropriately.

Yes. We deploy and manage on AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and DigitalOcean — using containers, serverless, managed databases, CDN, and infrastructure-as-code. We also support on-premise and hybrid setups for regulated clients.

Website Development

A professional business website typically ranges from a few thousand dollars for a template-based marketing site to higher amounts for custom design, multi-language content, integrations, and CMS workflows. We quote after understanding page count, features (forms, blog, portals), and branding needs.

Yes. We audit your current site for UX, speed, mobile experience, and SEO, then redesign with modern layouts while preserving URLs and rankings where possible. Content migration and redirect maps are part of the plan.

Yes. Every site we build is responsive — tested on common phone and tablet sizes. Mobile-first layouts, touch-friendly navigation, and readable typography are standard.

Performance is a requirement, not an afterthought. We optimize images (WebP), minimize render-blocking assets, use caching and CDN where appropriate, and target strong Core Web Vitals scores on production hosting.

Yes. We implement semantic HTML, unique meta titles and descriptions, Open Graph tags, structured data (JSON-LD), XML sitemaps, clean URLs, and fast mobile pages — aligned with Google Search best practices.

Yes. We can deliver a CMS (Laravel admin, Filament, WordPress, or headless CMS) so your team edits text, images, and blog posts without developers. We include training and short documentation at handover.

It depends on your team and scale. WordPress suits content-heavy marketing sites; Laravel/Filament fits custom business apps with tight integration; headless CMS (e.g. Strapi) suits multi-channel content. We recommend after a short requirements review.

Yes. We handle full migrations — files, database, DNS cutover, SSL, email routing checks, and post-migration smoke tests — with minimal downtime using a staged approach.

Mobile App Development

Choose based on your audience. B2B apps in India often start Android-first; US consumer products usually need iOS and Android. Analytics on your existing traffic and customer base inform the decision. Cross-platform development reduces cost when both are needed.

Native (Swift/Kotlin) offers maximum platform fidelity and is best for heavy graphics or deep OS integration. Flutter delivers faster dual-platform launches with one team and is ideal for most business, e-commerce, and booking apps. We advise after reviewing features, budget, and timeline.

Yes. We prepare store listings, screenshots, privacy policies, signing certificates, and submission packages. You retain publisher account ownership; we guide you through Apple and Google review requirements.

Yes. We take over legacy codebases, upgrade SDK versions, fix crashes, add features, and refactor where needed — after a technical audit and stabilization plan.

Yes. Post-launch we offer maintenance for OS updates, security patches, bug fixes, and minor enhancements — on monthly retainer or annual maintenance contract (AMC).

Custom Software

Yes. Custom software is our core strength. We map your workflows in discovery workshops, then design screens, approvals, and automations that match how your team actually works — not a generic template forced to fit.

Yes. Role-based access control (admin, manager, staff, customer, etc.) with granular permissions is built into every business application we deliver.

Yes. Most solutions we build are cloud-hosted for accessibility, automatic backups, and scaling. Private cloud and on-premise deployment are available when compliance requires it.

Yes. Web and mobile apps are accessible from anywhere with secure login (including 2FA). VPN or IP allowlisting can be added for enterprise policies.

Yes. We deliver responsive web apps and native or cross-platform mobile apps so field teams, sales reps, and managers can work from phones and tablets.

Absolutely. We architect for modular growth — new modules, APIs, and reports can be added in later phases without rebuilding from scratch.

There is no artificial cap. Practical limits are defined by infrastructure scaling and budget, not our licensing. We design databases, APIs, and services to scale with your user base and feature set.

Security

Security is built in: HTTPS everywhere, hashed passwords, input validation, SQL injection protection, CSRF tokens for web apps, secrets in environment variables, and regular dependency updates. For regulated industries we add encryption, audit logs, and access reviews.

Data is stored in access-controlled databases with encrypted connections. Sensitive fields can be encrypted at rest. Backups are encrypted and retention policies are documented. Production access is limited to authorized engineers under accountability policies.

We implement GDPR-aligned practices — consent, data export/deletion workflows, privacy policies, and processor agreements where needed. For healthcare we address HIPAA-style safeguards; for fintech we work toward PCI-DSS and regional regulations (RBI, etc.) as scoped in your project.

Yes. Standard login with email/password, optional social OAuth, session management, password reset, and account lockout policies. Enterprise clients can add SSO (SAML/OIDC) when required.

Yes. We support TOTP apps (Google Authenticator), SMS or email OTP where appropriate, and backup codes — the same approach we use on our own platform.

Yes, under maintenance or AMC. We patch framework and library vulnerabilities, monitor CVE advisories, and schedule updates with regression testing to avoid breaking production.

Support

Yes. Every launch includes a warranty period for defect fixes. Ongoing maintenance covers updates, monitoring, backups, and small enhancements — via monthly retainer or AMC.

Typically 60–90 days of post-launch warranty for bugs related to delivered scope (exact period is stated in your contract). This does not include new features or third-party outages outside our control.

Report it through your project channel or support email. We triage severity: critical production issues are prioritized for hotfix; lower issues are scheduled in the next maintenance sprint. Warranty bugs are fixed at no charge.

Yes. AMC packages include agreed hours for support, security patches, compatibility updates (OS, browsers, app stores), backup verification, and optional SLA response times.

Yes. Clients with active support or AMC can reach us by phone, WhatsApp, and email during business hours. Enterprise agreements can include dedicated escalation contacts.

Standard support: Mon–Fri, 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM IST / EST overlap windows. Critical production incidents for AMC clients can include extended or 24×7 coverage as defined in your SLA.

Business Questions

Software centralizes data, automates repetitive work, reduces errors, and gives real-time visibility into sales, operations, and finances. The right system shortens sales cycles, improves customer response times, and frees your team to focus on growth instead of spreadsheets.

Yes. Automations — lead routing, invoicing, reminders, approvals, report generation — routinely save hours per week per employee. We identify high-ROI automations during discovery.

CRM and pipeline tools help you follow up faster, never lose leads, and measure conversion by source. Customer portals and mobile apps improve retention. Results depend on process adoption, but clients often see measurable pipeline and response-time improvements within months.

Yes. From email sequences and ticket assignment to inventory alerts and payment reconciliation — if a task follows rules, it can usually be automated or semi-automated with human approval steps.

ROI varies by use case: reduced labor cost, fewer errors, faster billing, higher conversion, or new revenue channels. We help you define KPIs before build (e.g. lead response time, invoice cycle days) so value can be measured after launch.

Hosting & Infrastructure

Not necessarily. You can host on our recommended cloud, your own AWS/Azure account, or on-premise hardware. Many clients prefer owning the cloud account so billing and data stay in their name.

Yes. We set up and manage cloud environments — or deploy to your Hostinger, AWS, or other account — including SSL, monitoring, and backup jobs.

Marketing sites often run well on managed shared or VPS hosting. SaaS and APIs benefit from scalable cloud (AWS, DigitalOcean, Azure). High-compliance workloads may need private VPC or dedicated servers. We recommend after reviewing traffic, budget, and compliance.

Yes. We plan migration with minimal downtime: replicate data, parallel run, DNS cutover, and rollback strategy. Legacy servers can be retired once stability is confirmed.

Yes. Automated daily backups (database and files), retention policies, and periodic restore tests are part of our hosting and AMC offerings. Backup location and encryption meet your compliance needs.

SEO & Digital Marketing

Yes. Technical SEO (speed, mobile, schema, sitemaps, canonical URLs) is included in our website builds. Ongoing content and link strategy can be added as a separate engagement.

Yes. Keyword research, on-page optimization, content planning, local SEO, and analytics setup — either bundled with a new site or as ongoing SEO retainers.

Yes. We set up conversion tracking, campaign structure, and landing pages aligned with your funnel. Media spend is billed to your Google Ads account; management is our service fee.

No ethical agency guarantees rankings. We follow best practices that give your site the best chance to rank: fast, crawlable, unique content, and structured data. Rankings also depend on competition, content volume, and domain authority over time.

Startup-Specific Questions

Yes. We help founders go from idea to MVP with lean scope: core user journey, one revenue or validation path, and a launch timeline — often 10–14 weeks for a focused web or mobile MVP.

Yes. Discovery workshops cover problem-solution fit, competitor landscape, feature prioritization (MoSCoW), and technical feasibility — so you invest in the right MVP before full build.

First version should prove one key hypothesis: sign-up and core workflow, basic admin, payments if revenue-critical, and analytics. Nice-to-haves (advanced reports, social features) wait for Phase 2 based on user feedback.

Yes. We build investor-ready demos, clickable prototypes, and architecture decks that show scalability and security thinking — materials founders use in pitch decks and due diligence.

Maintenance & Scaling

With proper architecture — load balancers, caching, database scaling, CDN, and async queues — applications can grow to very large user counts. We design for your near-term load with a roadmap for horizontal scaling when metrics demand it.

Yes. Performance audits, code refactoring, UI modernization, API upgrades, and new module development on existing systems are common engagements.

Yes. We migrate legacy desktop, monolith, or outdated PHP/.NET apps to modern stacks with data migration, parallel running, and training — phased to reduce business risk.

We use mainstream frameworks with active communities, document architecture decisions, and offer AMC so dependencies stay current. No stack lasts forever, but maintainable code and tests make future upgrades far cheaper.
