For operations teams

Build, buy or configure, decided on your terms

Whether to build or buy an internal tool depends on what you weigh most: how soon it must work, how closely it must fit your process and what it costs to own. We compare buying, configuring and building against your work, recommend one and help you carry it out.

01 Outcomes

What changes for you

  • One route, with the reason

    You get a recommendation tied to your priorities and your actual process, including what you give up, rather than a long list of tools to research on your own.

  • No custom code you did not need

    If a product you already pay for can do the job once it is configured well, we say so. Building is for the work that makes your operation different from everyone else's.

  • A tool your team owns

    Whatever the route, the accounts, the data and any code sit in your company's name, with short notes your team can follow when the process changes again.

Trade-off

See which route fits your priorities

Set how much each of the three priorities matters to you. The route that fits is marked, with the reason in a sentence. The chooser weighs trade-offs, not prices.

The routes

  • Fits your priorities

    Buy an off-the-shelf tool

    Quick to start, and the vendor maintains it. Your team adapts its process to the tool, and the subscription grows as more people use it.

  • Fits your priorities

    Configure what you already pay for

    Your CRM, ERP or workspace tool may already cover the job with some setup. Little new spend, until the process outgrows what the product allows.

  • Fits your priorities

    Build a custom tool

    It fits the process exactly and you own the code. It takes longer and needs maintaining, so it pays off for work that is core to how you operate.

  • Fits your priorities

    Buy the core, build the gaps

    A bought product carries the standard work, and a small build connects it to your other systems or adds the one step it lacks.
