Custom build FAQs
How is this different from the off-the-shelf Cardo CRM?
+
The off-the-shelf Cardo CRM is configured for your trade and live in days. A custom build is for businesses whose workflow, pricing or rules fall outside what configuration can cover — we build new logic around your exact process. Same operator, same quality bar; more tailoring.
Do I own the software?
+
Yes. Your custom build is deployed on your own instance and you own the code. We host and maintain it on a monthly plan, and you’re never locked out of your own system.
How long does a build take?
+
Most custom builds run three to five weeks from a signed scope, with weekly check-ins so you see progress and nothing is a surprise at the end.
What if I’m not sure whether I need custom or off-the-shelf?
+
Start with a discovery call. If the off-the-shelf Cardo CRM covers you, we’ll tell you — it’s the faster, cheaper path. We only recommend a custom build when your operation genuinely needs it.
