Software consulting and technology advice from $400 MXN per hour.

Consulting and technology advice start at $400 MXN per hour. The number of hours depends on what needs reviewing: a quote a few pages long is not the same as an abandoned system with several connected services. You get the exact price in writing after the free consultation, before we start. If the review concludes that something needs to be built, development is quoted separately: a module or automation from about $5,000 MXN, a larger project from about $15,000 MXN and a complete system from about $25,000 MXN, paid in stages.

Yes. We check whether the scope is clear and broken into stages, what’s included and what isn’t, whether the dates and payment terms are realistic, where the system will run and what it costs to maintain each month, whether your data will be yours to export, what support you get after delivery and how changes are billed. We tell you whether the price is reasonable for what it includes and which questions to ask the vendor before you sign. If the proposal is good, we tell you that too. As a starting point, our blog has a guide called “Before you hire a custom software company: 10 questions to ask.”

It depends on your process, how many people will use it and the time frame you compare. Odoo charges per user per month and has a free plan for a single app. Bind ERP is contracted on annual or quarterly plans, and each plan caps users, monthly sales and products: Profesional includes 4 users and up to 124 sales a month. CONTPAQi sells separate programs, such as accounting, payroll, electronic invoicing and Comercial Premium for inventory, purchasing, sales and invoicing, on annual licenses whose price depends on the version, cloud or desktop, and the number of users or RFCs (Mexican tax IDs). We compare each option against how you work and what it would cost over three years. Sometimes the answer is to combine them: an off-the-shelf system for accounting and invoicing, and a custom module for what makes you different. Our blog has two guides on this: “Odoo or custom software?” and “Off-the-shelf ERP or custom software.”

Yes. First we take stock of what’s there: where it’s hosted, who has the logins for the hosting, domain, database and connected services, and what shape everything is in. Then we recommend in writing whether to continue, migrate or start over, with the approximate cost of each path. At SpacePort MX, the original developer disappeared, and the site loaded slowly, threw errors and went down. We moved it to modern hosting without a redesign, recovered the logins and handed them to the client, and trained their team to edit it on their own. If an account can’t be recovered, a new one is created in your business’s name.

Yes, and it’s one of the most useful things you can do before paying for development. We talk with the people who do the work, follow an order or a job from start to finish and write down each step: who does it, with what tool, what data it uses and where it gets stuck. You get a map of your process, a list of problems ranked by what they cost you and the scope of a first stage that you can get quoted by anyone. Sometimes what needs building isn’t what it seemed: at GoatTool, a standalone desktop app didn’t solve the real problem, because accounts, licenses, updates, system requirements and devices all had to be coordinated.

For security, we check who has access to what, whether important accounts ask for a second step besides the password, whether accounts of people who have left are still active, whether backups can actually be restored and whether your email, domain and social media are under your company’s control. For the cloud, we list the servers, subscriptions and licenses you pay for, how much each one is used and what’s duplicated or unnecessary. Executive Engineers replaced several WhatsApp groups, OneDrive, iCloud and scattered notes with a single platform, cutting subscription costs and admin work by 80%. If you need a full security audit, we offer a cybersecurity service, with the scope and your authorization in writing.

No. The recommendations are yours, and you can use them with anyone. If you decide to build with us, you get a written proposal with the price of each stage and its dates. We solve urgent issues within hours, and most projects are ready in about a week; large systems are delivered in stages, each with its date in writing. We fix any defect you report within 60 calendar days of each delivery at no cost, you can end the project whenever you want, paying only for the work done, and your data is always yours to export.
