Who we are

Software built around your process, not the other way round

Most companies call us when the spreadsheets, the plugins and the off-the-shelf tools have stopped fitting the way the business works.

FusionHit is a custom software development company that designs and builds the system you actually need, from requirements to go-live, and hands it over with the code, the documentation and the environments under your name. Senior engineers across Latin America, working on US hours, so the decisions that shape your software get made in the same day.

WHAT WE BUILD

Custom software we build for US companies

The systems our clients ask for most often, each one designed for their data, their users and the tools it has to talk to.

Internal tools and operations platforms

The system that replaces the spreadsheets: workflows, approvals, dashboards and the data model underneath.

Customer and partner portals

Self-service portals where your customers, vendors or partners see their data and get things done without a phone call.

SaaS products and MVPs

A first version scoped to what the market needs to see, built on an architecture that can grow into the full product.

Integrations and APIs

The layer that makes your ERP, CRM, payment and logistics systems share data instead of duplicating it.

Replacing off-the-shelf systems

A legacy or packaged system rebuilt around your process, migrated without stopping the business.

Mobile apps

Field, customer and employee apps delivered with the backend and the admin tools behind them.

Data and reporting

Pipelines, warehouses and reporting layers that turn the data your systems already produce into decisions.

AI features

Generative AI, agents and machine learning built into the software as a scoped feature that ships to production.

BUILD VS BUY

When custom software is the right call, and when it is not

Custom software is not always the answer. This is the checklist we run with you on the first call before anything gets estimated.

Buy off-the-shelf when
Build custom when
Your process

Your process is standard and you are fine adapting it to the tool.

The process is how you compete, and the tool keeps forcing workarounds.

Integrations

The tool already connects to the systems you run.

You need it to talk to systems it was never built for, or to your own data model.

Cost over time

Per-seat pricing stays small at your scale.

Licenses, add-ons and manual work around the tool cost more each year than a system you own.

Control

You can live with the vendor's roadmap and release cycle.

You need to change how it works when the business changes, on your timeline.

Ownership

Nobody in the company will need the source code.

You want the code, the data and the roadmap under your name, with no vendor lock-in.

TIMELINE AND COST

What the timeline and the cost depend on

Every vendor says 'it depends'. This is what it depends on, by the kind of system you are building, so you arrive at the first call knowing what to expect.

Typical timeline to first release
What drives the cost
Internal tool or operations platform

3-4 months

Number of workflows and user roles, approvals, reporting, and how much data has to migrate from spreadsheets.

Customer or partner portal

4-6 months

Authentication and permissions, the systems it reads from and writes to, and the volume of users at launch.

SaaS MVP

3-5 months

The scope you can launch with, multi-tenant architecture, billing, and how much of the product is really needed for the first customers.

Integration layer or API

2-3 months

Number of systems, data quality on both sides, and whether the vendors document their APIs.

Replacing an off-the-shelf system

6-9 months

Feature parity with what people use today, data migration, and running both systems in parallel during cutover.

DELIVERABLES

What you get when the software is delivered

Source code and repositories

Everything lives in repositories under your organization from the first commit. You own the code and the intellectual property.

Documentation and architecture

Architecture decisions, data model, setup and runbooks written down, so the system does not depend on who built it.

Environments and CI/CD

Development, staging and production environments under your cloud account, with the pipeline that deploys to them.

Automated tests

A regression suite that runs in the pipeline, so the next change does not break the last one.

Training and handover

Sessions for the people who will use and maintain the system, and a handover checklist we close together.

Support after launch

A warranty period written into the agreement, and a support plan if you want us to keep evolving the system.

HOW WE ENGAGE

Three ways to contract custom software

Custom software is what we build. These are the three ways you can work with us to build it.

Staff augmentation

Senior engineers added to your existing team, under your direction. Best when you have a technical lead and need capacity or a specific skill.

Dedicated development teams

A stable team that works only on your product, with a lead on our side. Best when the system will keep evolving after launch.

Software development outsourcing

A defined scope delivered end to end under our management, for a fixed price and date. Best when the scope is clear and you want one number and one date.

Stacks we build custom software on

We pick the stack for the system and for the team that will maintain it, not for us.

SaaS

Multi-tenant products built to ship weekly after handover.

FAQ

FAQs about our custom software development services

01

How much does custom software development cost?

It depends on the number of workflows and user roles, the systems it has to integrate with, the data that has to migrate and the compliance it has to meet. Discovery turns those into a written scope, and the proposal shows the cost by milestone. Senior LATAM rates typically run 30-50% below equivalent US rates.
02

How long does it take to build custom software?

Typically 2-3 months for an integration layer, 3-5 months for an internal platform or a SaaS MVP, and 6-9 months to replace an off-the-shelf system with data migration. Discovery gives you the real number for your case.
03

How do we know if we need custom software or an off-the-shelf tool?

Buy when your process is standard and the tool already connects to what you run. Build when the process is how you compete, when the tool keeps forcing workarounds, or when licenses and manual work around it cost more each year than a system you own. We tell you which one on the first call, even when the answer is 'buy'.
04

Can you integrate the new software with our existing systems?

Yes. Integrations with your ERP, CRM, payment, logistics and reporting systems are scoped in discovery, and the data flows are written into the acceptance criteria.
05

Can you replace software we already use without stopping the business?

Yes. We map feature parity with what people use today, migrate the data, and run both systems in parallel during cutover, so the switch happens on a date you choose.
06

Who owns the code and the intellectual property?

You do. The software is built in repositories and cloud accounts under your organization, and the contract assigns all intellectual property to you from the first commit.
07

What do we need to provide on our side?

A process owner who can answer questions and make decisions within the week, access to the systems and sample data the software has to work with, and people available to test each milestone. We handle everything else.
08

What happens after the software is delivered?

You receive the code, the documentation, the environments and training for your team, plus a warranty period written into the agreement. If you want us to keep evolving the system, a dedicated team takes over without a restart.
09

How is this priced: fixed price or a monthly team?

Both are available. A fixed price for a defined scope through our software development outsourcing model, or a monthly rate per role through a dedicated team when the product keeps changing. The first call tells you which one fits.
10

Do you work in our time zone?

Yes. Our engineers work across Latin America on US Central and Eastern time, which gives 6-8 hours of daily overlap. Discovery workshops, demos and acceptance happen inside your working day.
