Software Development FAQ
Practical answers about custom software engagements with CaninC.
Do we need custom software or can we improve the tools we already use?
Not always. Discovery may show that better configuration, integrations, or automation is enough. CaninC recommends custom software when existing tools cannot support how your team actually works.
Can you connect custom software to our existing systems?
In many cases, yes. CaninC builds API integrations and data connections to CRM, accounting, email, and other business tools — scoped to what your systems expose and your security requirements allow.
Do you build internal tools as well as customer-facing apps?
Yes. CaninC delivers internal portals, admin tools, dashboards, and customer-facing applications depending on what your operations require.
How do you handle security in custom software?
Security considerations such as authentication, authorization, and data handling are included in architecture and implementation — aligned to how the business operates.
Will we own the code?
Engagement terms define ownership and licensing. CaninC discusses this during scoping so expectations are clear before build begins.
Can you maintain software after launch?
Yes. CaninC can provide ongoing support, improvements, and optimization as part of a structured maintenance engagement.
