Internal platforms, customer portals, workflow systems and first versions of new products, built remotely by our team in Mumbai, India, with the scope, terms and ownership agreed before development starts.
"FNA Technology is a custom software development company with its team in Mumbai, India. We build the software that off-the-shelf tools cannot cover: internal platforms, customer and vendor portals, workflow and approval systems, dashboards, integrations and first versions of new products. Since we were founded in 2023, we have delivered 25+ projects, hold a 5.0 rating on Google from 15 reviews, and have shipped software for clients in India and the GCC. We work with clients remotely, and an account manager is your point of contact throughout. For clients in India, see custom software development in Mumbai. For Dubai and UAE businesses, which we serve remotely from Mumbai, see custom software development for Dubai businesses. Everything else we build is on our services page."
Most projects take around two months, depending on size. Before the full build, we can build a working demo or proof of concept of your problem in one day, so you see the approach first. Discovery then ends with a dated plan for your project, and that plan is the timeline we work to.
Discovery comes first: we map the process the software replaces, who uses it, what each role can see and do, which systems it must connect to, and what can wait for a later version. Design follows, where you review user flows and screens before development starts.
Development runs in milestones, and depending on the project, a milestone can end in working software you can try. Integrations with an ERP, CRM, accounting system or payment gateway usually take longer than the screens, because they depend on third-party access, test environments and approvals that neither of us fully controls.
Testing runs in a separate test environment and covers every role and permission, the integrations and the awkward cases your team will hit in real use. Moving data out of spreadsheets or an old system is planned as its own piece of work, because old data is rarely as clean as it looks.
What lengthens a timeline most: more user roles, each extra integration, migrating existing data, approval chains that differ by department, regulated data such as health or financial records, and slow decisions on either side. Projects move fastest when one person on your side owns the requirements and can approve work within a day or two.
Most proposals look alike until something goes wrong. These are the questions worth asking any custom software development company before you sign, and how we answer them. Treat a price or deadline that nobody can explain as a risk, not a promise.
Ask for a comparable system, live or in a demo, and what the company's own role in it was. Similar integrations, user roles and data volumes matter more than a similar industry label or attractive screenshots. Ask for a call with a past client where that client has agreed to it, and for results with dates rather than adjectives.
Ask who your day-to-day contact is, who builds and tests the software, and how often you will see progress. With us, an account manager is your point of contact throughout, and the work is planned in milestones you can review. Our team is in Mumbai, which is 9 hours 30 minutes ahead of US Eastern time in summer and 10 hours 30 minutes ahead in winter, so agree call times and reply times before you sign.
Ask whether discovery, design, testing, deployment and support after launch are included, and for the assumptions and exclusions in writing. A low quote that leaves them out usually costs more later. On a fixed-scope project we give you the price after scoping, and any change to the scope is priced before it is built.
Ask who will own the source code, the repository, the hosting and cloud accounts and third-party subscriptions when the project ends. With us, you own the code; who holds the hosting and other accounts is agreed for each project in writing before work starts.
Requirements change once people use the first version. Ask how a change is requested, estimated and approved, and how it affects the date. A good proposal names the milestones, the dependencies and the decisions or third-party access that can move them.
Ask who fixes bugs, applies security updates and builds the next features, and on what terms. With us, our support and maintenance service covers this after go-live.
We work with clients remotely, through video calls and regular progress updates. If you need a team that sits in your office every day, we are not the right fit.
Replace spreadsheets, email approvals and disconnected tools with one system: requests, approvals, assignments, status tracking and reminders, with each role seeing only what it needs.
A secure place for customers, vendors or partners to sign in, submit requests, track progress, view records and download documents, instead of chasing your team by phone and email.
Admin panels and management dashboards that turn day-to-day activity into numbers decision-makers can use, without someone rebuilding the report by hand each week.
Connect the new system to the tools you already run, such as your CRM, ERP, accounting software, payment gateway or messaging, so data is not copied between platforms by hand. We do not work from a fixed list: if a system has an API or a data export, we work out how to connect it during discovery.
A focused first version of a new platform, scoped to the one or two jobs it must do well, so you can test it with real users before investing in the full product. For subscription products, see our SaaS development service; if it needs a phone app, see mobile app development.
Replace a slow or fragile legacy system step by step: map what it does today, move one process and its data at a time, and retire the old system only once the new one has proved itself.

Custom software development companies sell their work in three main ways. The right one depends on how settled your requirements are and who on your side will manage the work.
| Factor | Fixed-scope project | Time and materials | Dedicated team |
|---|---|---|---|
| How you pay | An agreed price for an agreed scope | The hours actually worked, at agreed rates | A monthly fee for a team reserved for you |
| Best when | The first release can be clearly defined | Requirements will change as you learn | You have ongoing product work for many months |
| Who manages the work | Mostly the vendor | Shared, with your approvals on scope and budget | Mostly you, or your product owner |
| Budget risk | Low, but changes cost extra | Higher unless you set a budget cap and review it often | Predictable monthly, but you pay for idle time |
| Watch out for | Vague assumptions and exclusions | No cap, no regular reporting | Who actually sits on the team, and notice terms |
FNA works in all three ways. Most clients start with a fixed-scope project: we scope the first release, agree the price before development starts, and price any change before we build it. When requirements will keep changing, we work on time and materials, and for long-running product work we provide a dedicated team. If an existing tool already fits your process, we will tell you, because a wrong custom build helps no one. Do not set a fixed-price total next to a time-and-materials budget cap as if they cover the same work: line up the scope first.
Most clients start with a fixed-scope project, and we also work on time and materials or with a dedicated team. Projects typically cost between USD 5,000 and USD 200,000, depending on size. After a discovery call we write a scope: the user roles, workflows, screens and integrations in the first release, the milestones and the project price. You see the budget before development starts, FNA signs the contract with you directly, and we invoice in US dollars.
The price moves most with the number of user roles and workflows, each integration, migrating existing data, security or compliance requirements, web plus mobile instead of web only, and how much support you want after launch.
The costs buyers forget come after signing: hosting and cloud services, third-party subscriptions such as maps, SMS, email or payment fees, maintenance and security updates, changes that come up once people use the software, and the time your own team spends on decisions and testing. Ask every company for these in its proposal, not after launch. Ask for an estimate of the first year's running costs next to the build price. For India-specific price bands, see our custom software development cost in India guide.
Common questions about our enterprise solutions services.
Write down the problem, the must-have features, the users, the integrations and your budget first. Then compare three companies on the same evidence: comparable work and references, who will actually build it, what the price includes, who owns the code and accounts, how changes are handled and what happens after launch. A small paid discovery phase is the safest way to test a partner before the full build.
Look for a team that builds a focused first version instead of a large one, explains trade-offs, prices the first release clearly and gives you the code. Small and mid-sized companies usually suit early products better than large integrators. FNA builds first versions of new products and internal tools from our team in Mumbai, India, as a fixed-scope project or on time and materials.
Our projects typically cost between USD 5,000 and USD 200,000, depending on size. The price depends on the number of user roles and workflows, integrations, data migration, security requirements, platforms and the support you need after launch. On a fixed-scope project we give you the price after a scoping call, so you see the budget before development starts, and changes are priced before they are built.
Most of our projects take around two months, depending on size, and we can build a working demo or proof of concept of your problem in one day. After discovery you get a dated plan. Extra user roles, integrations, data migration and slow decisions are what lengthen it most.
Describe the business problem and the result you want, the users and their roles, the must-have workflows for the first release, the systems it must connect to, your data and security requirements, how each piece of work will be accepted, your budget range and deadline, and what you expect after launch. Ask each company to list its assumptions, exclusions, milestones and the team it will assign.
Choose a fixed price when the first release can be clearly defined, and time and materials when you expect the requirements to change as you learn. With time and materials, agree a budget cap and review it often. FNA offers fixed-scope projects, time and materials and dedicated teams, and on a fixed-scope project any change is priced before it is built.
Hosting and cloud services, third-party subscriptions and usage fees, maintenance and security updates, data migration that was not scoped, changes requested after people use the software, and your own team's time. A good proposal lists these up front.
It can be, if the team answers the same questions a local firm would: who your contact is, how often you see working software, who signs the contract, who owns the code, and how the time difference works. A lower quote is not always a lower total cost, so compare the full scope and the running costs too.
Yes. We do not work from a fixed list of tools: if a system has an API or a data export, we work out during discovery how to connect it, whether it is a CRM, ERP, accounting system, payment gateway, messaging service or your own database. Integrations are scoped and priced before development starts.
With FNA, you own the source code. Who holds the hosting, cloud and other third-party accounts is agreed for each project in writing before work starts, so there are no surprises at handover.
Yes. Our team is in Mumbai, India, and works with clients remotely through video calls and regular progress updates. We have shipped software for clients in India and the GCC, and we invoice in US dollars.
