Custom software development
Some problems don't fit a template. Devlify designs and builds bespoke systems around a specific business need – the software that runs a school, a clinic, a hotel or a payments product day to day.
Projects start with a conversation about what you need, then a scoped quote with a price and timeline. You can commission a one-off project, or work on a monthly retainer of 10, 20 or 40 hours when the work is ongoing.
Systems are built with proven tools – Django, FastAPI, NestJS, Next.js and PostgreSQL – and can include Paystack payments, role-based dashboards and an API for a mobile app.
Systems we build
- School management systems – student portals, attendance and result computation
- Hospital and clinic systems – patient records, appointments and clinic operations
- Hotel management systems
- Fintech and point-of-sale platforms with Paystack
- Multi-tenant SaaS serving several organisations from one codebase
- Business management dashboards that run day-to-day operations
- AI and machine-learning features – data pipelines, model training and ML-powered tools
- Ongoing maintenance – support, bug fixes and upgrades for existing systems

Frequently asked questions
Do you build school management software?
Yes. School management systems – student portals, attendance and result computation – are one of the main things Devlify builds, and ready-made school systems are also available on the marketplace.
Can you build a multi-tenant SaaS product?
Yes. Multi-tenant SaaS, along with hospital and hotel management systems, is the kind of work the Premium tier covers (from ₦350,000, typically 6-12 weeks).
Can you maintain or upgrade a system someone else built?
Yes. Software maintenance – ongoing support, bug fixes and upgrades for existing systems – is one of Devlify's services.
What is a monthly retainer?
An ongoing commitment of 10, 20 or 40 hours a month instead of a single quoted project – suited to continuous work rather than one deliverable.
How long does a custom system take?
It depends on scope. Standard systems typically take 3-6 weeks and Premium multi-module systems 6-12 weeks; you get a specific timeline in your quote.
