Solutions: software built for a specific kind of business
Each solution page describes one kind of software WavX builds for one kind of business: the modules it usually needs, a planning range from the WavX cost model, a realistic timeline, and the cases where a ready-made subscription product is the cheaper and better answer. Use them to decide whether custom software is worth it before you talk to anyone.
What a solution page is
A solution page starts from the business, not the technology. A clinic needs patient records, appointments and a pharmacy counter. A garage needs job cards, parts stock and estimates a customer can approve. A housing society needs maintenance billing and a visitor log at the gate. The software is different in each case, even when the code underneath shares a lot.
Every page in this section follows the same pattern, so you can compare them:
- The modules that kind of business usually needs, and which ones are worth building first.
- A planning range taken from the WavX software cost estimator. It is a range for budgeting, not a quote.
- A timeline, from the same cost model.
- The rules that apply to that business in India, where there are any, with links to the official source.
- When not to build. For many small businesses a ready-made product is the right answer, and each page says when.
How custom software differs from an off-the-shelf product
Ready-made clinic, salon, gym and society products exist, and many are good. You pay a monthly fee, you start the same week, and the vendor maintains it. The trade-off is that you work the way the product works.
| Off-the-shelf product | Custom software from WavX | |
|---|---|---|
| Start | Days | Weeks to months |
| Upfront cost | Low or none | A build cost, quoted after scoping |
| Ongoing cost | Subscription, often per user or per branch | Hosting plus maintenance, which WavX plans at 15–25% of build cost per year |
| Fits your process | You adapt to it | It is built around it |
| Your data | Held in the vendor's system | In a database you control |
| Source code | Belongs to the vendor | Your company owns 100% of the code and IP WavX ships |
Custom software tends to pay off when you have several branches, a process no product handles well, data you need to connect to other systems, or subscription fees that grow with every new user. If none of those is true, start with a product. The build or buy calculator helps put numbers on it.
