Custom Software & Business Apps in Mobile, AL
When off-the-shelf software makes your team work around it, a tool built for how you actually operate can pay for itself. We build custom apps, customer portals and internal tools at fixed prices.
StrAinge Business Solutions builds custom software for businesses in Mobile and Baldwin County, Alabama: internal tools, customer and partner portals, and business applications that connect to the systems you already use. We build with SI-assisted development (Super Intelligence, what most people call AI), which keeps cost and timelines down. Custom tools and apps are fixed-price, typically $8,000–$25,000 or more, scoped by a $2,500 Bottleneck Diagnostic that is credited toward the build.
Custom software is worth a look when…
- Your team keeps a spreadsheet next to the software you pay for, because the software doesn't fit.
- Customers call or email for information they could look up themselves in a portal.
- You pay for several subscriptions that each do part of one job.
- A process is specific to how you compete, and no product on the market does it your way.
What we build
Internal tools
Job tracking, scheduling, quoting, inventory and the other everyday tools your team works in, built around your process.
Customer and partner portals
A secure place for customers or partners to check status, upload documents, pay, or request work without calling you.
Integrations and data moves
Connecting the systems you already run, or moving your data cleanly from one platform to another.
Replacing a subscription you've outgrown
Where it makes financial sense, a tool you own instead of a per-seat subscription that keeps going up.
What this looks like in real work
Our own platform
Palanae: a multi-tenant business platform we build and run
Palanae keeps each customer's data separate with row-level security on all 29 of its database tables, and its SI can propose changes but cannot write to the database. It's the clearest example of how we build: constraints enforced by the software, not by a policy document.

A 5,689-employee HR system migration, built solo
A pipeline that moved a U.S. and Canadian workforce from one HR system to another: first working export in 3 days, production cutoff in 38 days, $3.58 in total cloud spend.

Built on real-world experience
Led by the former CIO of an aviation-services company acquired by PrimeFlight—now applying that same enterprise-grade fluency to businesses of every size.
You're not hiring a faceless agency. You work directly with the person who, at a prior employer, migrated 5,689 employees between HR systems solo for $3.58 in cloud costs, and cut a 60-minute HR process to about 6.

Questions people ask
How much does custom software cost in Mobile, AL?
Our custom tools and apps are fixed-price, typically $8,000–$25,000 or more depending on how many steps and systems are involved. The $2,500 Bottleneck Diagnostic sets the exact scope and price first, and it's credited toward the build.
How long does a custom build take?
It depends on scope, but most focused projects deliver something usable in weeks, not months. The Diagnostic gives you a realistic timeline before you commit to building.
What happens after launch?
We document what we build so it can be maintained. If you want us to keep it running and improving, support plans start at $1,500 a month.
Should we build or buy?
Buy when a product fits how you work. Build when you're paying for workarounds, or when the process is how you compete. The Diagnostic answers that question for your specific case before you spend on either.
