Frequently asked questions
When should we buy ready-made software?
When 70–80% of workflows fit a proven product (ERP, HMS, LMS, PMS) and speed, support, and upgrade paths matter more than inventing unique screens on day one.
When is custom development better?
When competitive processes, legacy integrations, or compliance rules cannot be configured cleanly—and you have ownership capacity for a longer delivery arc.
Can Capricon do both?
Yes. Many clients start on Capricon products and extend with custom modules, or run fully custom builds where products are not the fit. See software development and products pages.
