# Solarte > Solarte is a custom software development company serving clients in the US, UK and Ireland. We build complete, tailored software systems delivered in weeks rather than months, with value-based pricing: clients pay only for tangible business value. The risk stays on our side — fixed price with flexible scope, free bug fixing forever, full intellectual property ownership for the client, and a walkaway option before final payment if the client is not satisfied. Key facts: - Founded by Piotr Rogacki, a senior system architect with over 25 years of experience; first large ERP system delivered in 2003 for a 1000+ employee manufacturer - Delivery is accelerated by an internal AI-powered platform that automates specification, architecture support, code, tests and documentation, while architecture and key implementation decisions remain in the hands of experienced specialists - First testable version of a system is typically available within 2–3 weeks; a project that would take a standard software house 6 people and 6 months is typically delivered in weeks - Pricing model: value-based — clients never pay for bug fixes, internal rework or rewrites; a change that does not increase complexity does not change the price or timeline - Guarantees: full refund if requirements are not met; two-week testing period with the option to walk away at no additional cost; free bug fixing forever; client receives full source code and IP after final payment - Specialization: manufacturing and industrial production, professional and technical services, logistics, fintech and healthcare - Proof of durability: one delivered system has run for over 13 years without major architectural rework and has grown to three times its initial size ## Main pages - [Home](https://www.solarte.tech): Value proposition, guarantees, differentiators, industries and FAQ — the best single-page overview of how Solarte works and what it promises - [Services](https://www.solarte.tech/services/): End-to-end custom software services — unified workflows, automation, real-time insights, system integration — plus the step-by-step delivery methodology from intro call to launch and support - [Industries](https://www.solarte.tech/industries/): Industry-specific problems and solutions for manufacturing, professional services, logistics, fintech and healthcare (ERP, MES, WMS, CPQ, compliance systems) - [About us](https://www.solarte.tech/about-us/): Company history since 1997, philosophy and values — business value over buzzwords, predictable budgeting with flexible scope - [Contact](https://www.solarte.tech/contact/): Book a free technical consultation; email info@solarte.tech ## Insights - [What is Solarte](https://www.solarte.tech/insights/about-solarte/): Overview of the company, the AI-supported delivery model and the long-term approach to building expandable systems - [Value-based pricing](https://www.solarte.tech/insights/value-based-pricing/): Why hourly billing and fixed-scope contracts put clients at risk, and how paying only for tangible features works in practice - [Fast software delivery](https://www.solarte.tech/insights/fast-software-delivery/): How production-ready custom software is delivered in weeks instead of months without compromising quality - [Tailored software solutions](https://www.solarte.tech/insights/tailored-software-solutions/): Why off-the-shelf and no-code products force businesses to compromise, and how software designed around existing processes scales with the company - [Hidden software costs](https://www.solarte.tech/insights/hidden-software-costs/): The two hidden costs of software investments — ongoing bug fixes and IP restrictions — and how free bug fixing plus full IP ownership eliminate them - [Software development process](https://www.solarte.tech/insights/software-development-process/): The full process from consultation through specification, iterative development and testing to launch, including the walkaway guarantee ## Case studies - [SAMEX manufacturing management system](https://www.solarte.tech/insights/case-studies/manufacturing-system-samex/): Custom production management platform for a cutting equipment manufacturer selling to 65 countries — product configurator, unified purchasing and sales, integrated production planning and live inventory; 30% fewer production delays, 50% faster process recording - [Nagaz service operations platform](https://www.solarte.tech/insights/case-studies/workshop-management-nagaz/): Workshop management system for an automotive services provider with 100,000+ clients — work scheduling, order settlement, compliant homologated documents and analytics; running 13+ years without major rework, 30% efficiency increase, 20% lower error rate
