You're paying for SaaS you've outgrown
Per-seat prices go up every renewal. You use a fraction of the features, and the one you actually need sits on the enterprise tier.
Custom software.Built for you. Owned by you.
Replace legacy systems and the pile of SaaS subscriptions with one tool made for your team. Fixed price, and it’s yours to keep.
The problem
Most businesses don’t have a software problem. They have five.
Your core system is a liability
An Access database, an on-prem server, or a vendor that stopped shipping updates. One person knows how it works, and everyone hopes they don't leave.
Your team is the integration
Client details get copied between the CRM, the billing tool and a spreadsheet by hand. Every copy is a chance to get it wrong.
What we do
Three ways we fix it
Every engagement is one of these, or a mix. We start with what costs you the most.
Move off legacy systems
We rebuild aging desktop apps, databases and on-prem tools as secure web software, and move every record across without losing history.
- Data migration with a verified record count
- Runs in the browser, on any device
- Hosted, backed up and monitored
Swap SaaS sprawl for software you own
When a stack of subscriptions is doing one job badly, we replace it with one tool built for how you work, with no per-seat fees.
- Cost that stays flat as you hire
- Your code, your data, your hosting account
- Keeps the SaaS that's genuinely worth paying for
Custom tools and AI automation
Client portals, internal dashboards, quoting tools and AI assistants that read your documents, draft the follow-up and fill in the form.
- Connects to the systems you keep
- AI where it saves hours, not for show
- Your team trained before we hand over
How it works
From audit to switch-over in four steps
Most first projects are live in 2–4 months. You see working software within weeks, not at the end.
- 012 weeks
Audit
We sit with your team, map every tool and hand-off, and price out what each one costs you in fees and hours.
You getA written report: what to replace, what to keep, what to fix first.
- 021 week
Plan
We scope the first build down to the screens and data, so you know exactly what you're getting.
You getA fixed-price proposal with a timeline. No hourly surprises.
- 036–12 weeks
Build
We ship working software every two weeks. Your team uses it early, and we adjust while changes are cheap.
You getA demo every sprint and a live staging site you can click through.
- 041–2 weeks
Switch over
We migrate your data, run old and new side by side, train your team, then turn the old system off.
You getThe code, docs and admin access. Optional support after launch.
SaaS vs custom
Renting software made sense. Until it didn’t.
Off-the-shelf tools are great for getting started. Past a certain size, you’re paying more every year for something that fits you less.
| Comparison | Off-the-shelf SaaS | Custom, built with ATP |
|---|---|---|
| Cost as you grow | Rises with every seat and tier | Flat. Add people for free |
| Fit with your process | You change how you work to fit it | Built around how you already work |
| Your data | In their database, export if allowed | In your database, on your account |
| Connecting tools | Zapier chains and manual copy-paste | One system, or direct integrations |
| Leaving | Price hikes and lock-in | You own the code. Nothing to leave |

Isn't custom software more expensive than SaaS?
Upfront, yes. Over three to five years it's often cheaper, because there are no per-seat fees and no paying for features you don't use. The audit puts real numbers on this for your business before you commit to anything, and sometimes the answer is to keep the SaaS.
What happens to our existing data?
We move all of it. We map every field from the old system, run test migrations, and check record counts and totals with you before the switch. Old and new run side by side until you're confident.
Do we need developers on staff?
No. We build, host and look after the software, and train your team to run the admin side. If you hire developers later, they get clean, documented code in a standard stack.
How long does a project take?
Most first builds go live in 2–4 months, including the audit. You see working software within the first few weeks, not at the end.
Where does AI fit in?
Where it saves real hours: reading inbound documents, drafting replies, summarising calls, filling in forms. We point it at specific, repetitive tasks and keep a person in the loop for anything that matters.
What if we only need one small tool?
That's a good place to start. Plenty of engagements begin with a single portal or automation, then grow once the first one pays for itself.
