Custom software, CRMs and portals for small businesses

Custom software makes sense when off-the-shelf tools force your team into a process that does not fit, when you pay for several tools that do not talk to each other, or when the software itself is your product. It costs more up front, but it fits the way you work and you own it.

Custom software development services cover designing, building and supporting software made for one business: discovery and requirements, prototypes, development, integrations with existing tools, testing, training and ongoing support. Ceylond delivers these for CRMs, portals, inventory, POS and startup MVPs.

Yes, where it matters. We design offline-first: data is stored locally and synced when the connection returns, so the business keeps running.

Usually, yes. We connect to accounting, ecommerce, messaging and spreadsheet tools through their APIs, often using n8n for the glue.

Yes. Our mobile app development service builds cross-platform apps for iOS and Android in Flutter or React Native, or an installable web app from A$5,500£2,900US$3,800AED 14,000LKR 500,000 when the app stores are not needed. Every custom system we build also works well on phones and tablets.

Ready-made inventory systems are usually billed per user or per location each month. A custom inventory tool from Ceylond starts with a discovery sprint from A$1,500£790US$1,000AED 3,500LKR 24,900, credited against the build, which ends in a fixed quote; for scale, our client portals and custom CRMs start from A$7,900£4,300US$5,500AED 19,900LKR 350,000. If standard features fit, ERPNext implementation from A$4,500£2,400US$3,000AED 11,500LKR 450,000 may cost less, with no per-user fees.

A custom POS system is quoted after a discovery sprint from A$1,500£790US$1,000AED 3,500LKR 24,900, credited against the build, because the price depends on hardware, integrations and the number of stores. Most small retailers in Australia, the UK and the US rent a ready-made POS by the month, which suits them unless their workflow is unusual. POS stands for point of sale. In Sri Lanka, Ceylond POS is sold ready-made at pos.ceylond.com.

Yes. We build MVPs for startup founders in any market, including the UK and Australia: 3 to 5 core features shipped in 4 to 6 weeks, from A$11,500£5,500US$7,500AED 27,500LKR 450,000. Every MVP starts with a discovery sprint and a clickable prototype, then ships in phases so you can test with real users before spending the full budget. You own the code and the accounts.

Buy an off-the-shelf portal if a standard tool covers what your customers need to see and your team can work with its process. Build a custom portal when you need your own data, logins for several user types, or links to systems the off-the-shelf tools do not support. A custom client portal from Ceylond starts from A$7,900£4,300US$5,500AED 19,900LKR 350,000.

Both. When an off-the-shelf CRM fits, our CRM setup and automation service configures HubSpot, Zoho or Pipedrive from A$1,900£1,000US$1,300AED 4,900LKR 175,000. When it does not, we work as a custom CRM development company and build your own CRM, often with a web portal for clients, from A$7,900£4,300US$5,500AED 19,900LKR 350,000. We recommend one after mapping how your team sells and follows up.
