Our Experience
We have established confidentiality between us and our clients as we protect the information that they share with us.
We’ve developed numerous systems and are currently supporting the majority of them. We have expertise in the following software areas:
CRM
Customer relationship management (CRM) is a crucial facet of any business dealing with clients. With a custom CRM tool, you can incorporate every nuance of your workflow and make it easier for your employees or colleagues to handle day-to-day tasks.
ERP
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) can help you allocate and distribute assets to departments, track time spent on tasks, and review finances. It’s possible to get your ERP tool created from scratch, which would be costly. Alternatively, you can implement new functionalities into an existing ERP software solution with custom software development for a fraction of the price.
ECM
Enterprise content management (ECM) is the central point for managing corporate records, documents, and media. It should be accessible via mobile and be backed up with the cloud. We can create a tailor-made ECM that will help streamline your workflows and full-cycle management process.
Event Management
When it comes to events, having a dedicated tool is a real game changer. If you have to manage multiple occasions, you can lose track of time, finances, and assets easily. A custom event management system will be your tailor-made assistant.
Event Planning
If event management is the big picture, event planning should focus on the details. Every nuance of an important event that has been taken care of should be carefully tracked, monitored, and addressed in case an error, delay, or another possible obstacle occurs. Custom event planning software will help you get things done.
Hospitality Management
Great hospitality management is more important than ever. With a suitable hospitality management system developed for your business, whether it’s a hotel, restaurant, or a different kind of establishment, you can gain a competitive advantage.
Sales Management
As Daniel H. Pink says, ‘To sell is human.’ It’s also human to make mistakes. With a sales management system delivered as bespoke software, you can minimize mistakes and automate workflow and processes that would otherwise cause bottlenecks.
Facility Management
Are you managing multiple facilities and equipment that require different tracking or reporting features? Custom software development will empower you with statistics, reports, reminders, and different kinds of metrics that will reflect your actual needs without paying for features you’ll never use.
Brand Licensing
Do you want to offer your software or solution to different companies for a fair price but under their brand? With brand licensing, you can customize your creations and use them as ready-made tools to help other businesses. We can help you in both the creation and customization of your software.
Infrastructure Monitoring
Keeping an eye on infrastructure can be the difference between the delivery time being one day and one month. Smart and custom infrastructure monitoring software is a way to prevent delays and discover obstacles in a timely manner.
Electronic Approvals
The approval of vacations and holidays and easily managing absences will help you plan better. You can cover shifts and make sure that projects are fully allocated in an instant while you communicate with employees and colleagues. An electronic approval system can work as a stand-alone solution, but it can also be integrated into your preferred system.
Ticketing System
Tickets tell you what has to be done, internally or externally. Whether it’s a ticket from your colleague or a complaint from your customer, it won’t get lost in a custom-made ticketing system until it’s solved. Independently or as an integration, a ticketing system can be of great help to your customer support or project management.

FAQ
What is custom software development?
Custom software development, also known as bespoke software development, is the process of creating tailor-made software solutions. The outcome respects your unique needs and business specifics that otherwise wouldn’t be covered with generic off-the-shelf solutions.
Why is custom software development important?
Custom software development can create a tool that empowers you in a way that off-the-shelf solutions can’t. It doesn’t mean that ready-made software isn’t a good choice. If you don’t have any unique requirements, it can serve you well.
How much does custom software development cost?
The cost of a custom software project at Rare Crew depends on scope, complexity, and team composition. A focused engagement — such as a single module, API integration, or MVP build — typically starts from €30,000 to €80,000. Full enterprise platform builds commonly range from €150,000 to €500,000+. We provide a detailed written estimate after an initial discovery session, at no obligation. Every change in scope is transparently documented and priced before work begins — no hidden fees, no surprises mid-project.
Is integration of a functionality considered custom software development?
It depends on the range of custom development that the subject integration requires. Existing features can be integrated within minutes to hours. Features that are still an idea and not yet a piece of code require more time and can be considered a full-fledged custom software development project.
Is it better to use custom-developed software or off-the-shelf solutions?
The right choice depends on the uniqueness of your business processes. Off-the-shelf software works well when your workflows are standard — if your needs match what a product like Salesforce, SAP, or a generic SaaS platform covers, it is often the faster and cheaper path. Custom software becomes the right answer when your operations are too specific for standard products to handle correctly without significant workarounds. This is common in industries such as entertainment rights management, sports data, fashion product lifecycle, and industrial IoT — all areas where Rare Crew has deep experience. We offer a free initial consultation to help you make the right decision before any commitment.
Why are there different prices for custom software development services?
Custom software pricing varies because it reflects team quality, location, experience, and overhead. Lower-cost providers often operate with junior teams, high staff turnover, or limited project management — which typically increases total cost through rework, delays, and post-delivery bugs. Rare Crew's pricing reflects 14+ years of enterprise delivery experience, ISO 27001-certified security processes, and a 96% client retention rate. We are EU-based with direct, senior-led teams — not a body shop that subcontracts. When evaluating price differences, always compare on total cost of ownership: a cheaper build that requires 12 months of fixes is not cheaper.
Do you have any references or portfolios to showcase your work?
Yes. You can review our verified client reviews and project descriptions on our Clutch profile (clutch.co/profile/rare-crew) and G2 profile. We maintain a 4.9/5 average rating across 30+ verified reviews. Due to confidentiality agreements with enterprise clients, we do not publish full case studies publicly — but we are happy to share relevant anonymized examples and reference calls with prospective clients who are in active evaluation. Our clients include global organizations in entertainment, sports, fashion, and media.
How long does custom software development take?
Timeline at Rare Crew depends on scope and complexity. A focused project — a single application, workflow tool, or integration — typically takes 3 to 6 months from kickoff to deployment. Full enterprise platform builds with multiple modules range from 9 to 18 months. We use Agile methodology with 2-week sprints, so you receive working software incrementally throughout the project — not only at the end. A detailed timeline is provided during the discovery phase before any engagement begins.
What technologies does Rare Crew use for custom software?
Our back-end stack covers .NET, Node.js, Python, and Java. On the front end we work with React, Angular, and Vue.js. For databases: Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB. We deploy on Microsoft Azure and AWS — we are a certified partner on both platforms. We also have deep experience with legacy modernization, including migration from older .NET Framework, classic ASP, and on-premise SQL systems to modern cloud-native architectures. Technology selection is always based on your requirements and long-term maintainability, not internal preference.
