Two hidden costs consistently surprise business owners when investing in software: ongoing bug fixes and intellectual property restrictions. Let me address how we've solved both issues at Solarte.
First, bug fixing. When software fails, the real cost isn't just the developer's time - it's the business impact. I've seen companies unable to process orders when their vendor - controlled software failed, forcing them to use paper notes while waiting helplessly for fixes.
Based on nearly three decades in software development, I've refined techniques that drastically reduce bugs through architecture, comprehensive traceability and preventative quality assurance. The results have been so effective that we confidently offer free bug fixing for all our implementations - forever.
This approach minimises unpredictable maintenance expenses, allows for more accurate budgeting, and significantly reduces operational risk. Your system remains available and stable, with minimal disruption to your business operations.
Beyond reliable operation, there's another critical aspect of software investment that businesses often overlook until it's too late: who actually owns and controls the solution you depend on?
With Solarte, you always own the complete intellectual property of your custom solution. Unlike subscription-based products where you're essentially renting someone else's platform, your custom software becomes a valuable asset on your balance sheet.
In my years in the industry, I’ve seen too many companies that invested a lot of time and effort into a vendor-owned platform (of-the-shelf software or no-code solution) only to find that they cannot cover all needs or scale up. When you own your IP, you control your future - you can build your own development team or engage other partners at any time.
This ownership transforms software from an expense into a strategic asset that grows with your business. It simplifies succession planning, increases company valuation, and ensures your operational knowledge remains encoded in an asset you control, not trapped in a vendor's platform.
Free bug fixing and full IP ownership eliminate the two most common hidden costs in software development, giving you both operational reliability today and strategic flexibility for tomorrow.
