Our marketplace sells ready-made solutions we set up for you, and our services team builds custom software. People ask which they should choose, so here is how we think about it.
Buy ready-made when your need is common — a school, a clinic, a shop, a restaurant — and you want to be running this week. You pay once, we install it with your branding, and you get on with the business.
Go custom when the software is the business: your process is different, it needs to talk to systems you already run, or you plan to sell it to others.
Many clients start ready-made, learn what they really need by using it, and then commission the custom version. That is a sensible path, and both halves of Rayenda are built to support it.
