Custom Software Development in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Cuanto Labs is a Fort Lauderdale custom software development company: we build the portals, dashboards and internal tools that replace spreadsheets and disconnected apps for Broward businesses. Custom builds start at $8,000 fixed-price and typically go live in 4–8 weeks. We are based on Las Olas Blvd (mailing address 1314 E Las Olas Blvd), and founder Eliran Yihye leads every project personally.
The decision our Broward clients usually face is build or buy. If an off-the-shelf product fits at least most of the way, we say so and point you to it. Custom software earns its cost when your process is the thing that makes you money and the packaged tools force you to work around it, and when you want to own the result instead of renting seats from a vendor.
Updated
How much does custom software development cost in Fort Lauderdale?
Custom software from Cuanto Labs starts at $8,000, and most web-based business systems land between that and $20,000, fixed-price and agreed in writing before work starts. Multi-role platforms with several integrations cost more. Backend and database work starts at $2,000 when you only need the data layer.
How long does custom software take to build?
A focused system takes 4–8 weeks from kickoff to production, with a working version you can click through by week two. Field tools with offline handling and many user roles take 8 to 16 weeks. The date goes into the proposal, so a slip is our cost rather than yours.
What is the difference between custom software and a website?
A website presents information. Custom software does work: logins, records, workflows, calculations and links to the systems you already run. If your team keeps a process alive with spreadsheets and email, that process is software waiting to be built. Job tracking and customer portals are typical Broward examples.
When is custom software not worth it?
When an off-the-shelf tool already covers most of the process, when the process changes every month, or when the saving is smaller than the build cost. We would rather tell you that on the first call than quote a project you will regret. Often a configured product plus one integration is enough.
How do I choose a custom software developer in Fort Lauderdale?
Ask who writes the code, what you own at handover, when you will see something working, and what they would talk you out of building. Get the price in writing. We scope and lead each project from our Las Olas base, and code, repositories, hosting and domains transfer to you.

What we build for Fort Lauderdale businesses
Operations platforms
One system for jobs, customers, inventory and invoices, replacing the spreadsheet and the three apps that each hold part of the truth.
Customer and vendor portals
Logins where customers see order status, approve quotes and download documents without emailing your office.
Integrations
Connecting QuickBooks, Stripe, scheduling and CRM tools so a record is entered once and appears everywhere it should.
Rescue and modernization
Auditing an unfinished or aging system, then either finishing it or rebuilding the parts that block you, with a straight cost comparison.
Software that fits how Broward actually works
Broward County is a mix that rarely fits one vertical product. Aviation and aerospace suppliers cluster around Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, yacht and marine businesses line the New River and the Intracoastal, cruise and cargo move through Port Everglades, and law, accounting and wealth offices fill the towers downtown and on Las Olas. Each has odd requirements: traceability for parts, job histories per vessel, document matching for shipments, strict client confidentiality. Those are the cases where a generic tool bends badly. We start from a day in your operation, list the records and handoffs involved, and build only what removes work. Because the Las Olas base is a short drive from most of Broward, we can watch the process in person before writing a line of code and sit with your staff when the first version goes live.

How a project runs
- 1. Discovery call. Thirty minutes on the problem, the timeline and the budget. No deck, no pitch.
- 2. Fixed-price proposal. Scope and a number, in writing, before any code exists.
- 3. Build in the open. You get a working version in week two and review progress weekly.
- 4. Launch and hand over. Code, repositories and accounts transfer to you at the end. They are yours.
- 5. Support if you want it. A monthly retainer is optional and never a condition of handover.

Fort Lauderdale questions we get asked
Should we build custom software or buy a product?
Buy when a product fits most of your process and you can live with its limits. Build when your process is your advantage, when you pay for many seats you barely use, or when you need systems to talk to each other in a way no vendor offers. We tell you which case you are in during the first call.
Do you work on site in Broward?
Yes, for the parts where it helps: discovery, kickoff, training and go-live. We are a remote team with no office to visit, so those meetings happen at your premises, and day-to-day work runs over calls and shared documents.
Can you replace a system we already pay for?
Sometimes. If the current system does its job, we build around it and integrate. If it blocks you or costs more each year than a rebuild, we show you both numbers. Either way you keep the data, and we plan the migration before the quote.
What do we own at the end?
Everything: source code, repositories, hosting accounts and domains, transferred at handover. A short documentation pack covers how it runs, so another developer can pick it up if you ever move on.
How do you keep the price from growing?
The price is fixed in the written proposal after a discovery call, and scope changes are priced before any work on them starts. You see a working version early, so surprises show up in week two rather than week eight.
