You've been paying SaaS for 70% of what you need — for over two years
With AI, we build custom systems that cost less than 18 months of subscription. No adapting your processes to the software — the software adapts to you.

Why custom software costs less than SaaS today
For years, SaaS was the cheaper option for mid-market companies — and rightfully so. Custom development was slow and expensive. But AI agents and multi-agent orchestrators changed that radically. What used to take 6 months now takes 30 to 45 days. That gain translates into pricing that makes your system pay for itself in ~10 months of subscription — making the SaaS model economically obsolete for most mid-market companies.
Generic CRM that does not fit your funnel
A standard CRM follows the market's average sales cycle, not yours. Fields that make no sense, stages that don't exist, reports that don't show what you need.
ERP with 80% unused features
You pay for the full suite, use 20%, and still need a spreadsheet for the rest.
BI that shows what everyone else sees
Generic industry dashboards. No model trained on your historical data. No forecast that accounts for your actual seasonality.
Disconnected tools and workflows
Workflows in one tool, data in another, reports in a third. Nobody has a complete view of the process.
- Code 100% yours — zero lock-in from the first commit
- Total cost lower than ~10 months of SaaS subscription
- ~80% faster with AI agents across the entire development chain
- First working delivery in up to 30 days
- No features you did not ask for

- ✓Typical break-even: 8–14 months
Replace large-scale ERP
You are evaluating or already running a major vendor ERP. Per-user licenses, expensive implementation, locked customizations. Calculate the real cost.
- ✓ERP with per-concurrent-user licensing
- ✓Implementation at R$ 150–250/h (hundreds of hours)
- ✓Annual maintenance at 15–20% of the license
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I know if replacing my SaaS with custom software makes sense?
- Calculate: multiply your monthly SaaS cost by 10. If that number approaches the cost of development, it already makes financial sense — and you end up with a system that is 100% yours, with no future subscription. In many cases, the break-even happens before 10 months.
- Is migration from SaaS to a custom system risky?
- We do incremental migration — without stopping operations. Your SaaS keeps running while we build the new system. The transition happens in phases, with user validation at each step. We only shut down the old one when the new one is approved.
- What kind of SaaS do you replace?
- CRMs, ERPs, BI tools, workflow platforms, customer support systems, scheduling tools, e-commerce platforms, and any generic tool that forces your company to adapt to the software instead of the other way around.
- How long until the new system is ready?
- The first working delivery ships in up to 30 days. We work in 2-week sprints with incremental delivery — you use the system while it grows. A complete system that replaces a typical SaaS takes between 2 and 4 months.
- Does the code stay with me even if I switch vendors?
- Always. The repository is yours from the first commit. You can migrate to another team, hire internally, or modify the system as you wish. No retention clause, no dependency on Powertrend to keep the system running.
- Do you offer support after delivery?
- We offer an optional maintenance plan, but it is not required. The system is delivered with complete technical documentation and team training. You choose whether you want ongoing support or prefer to operate independently.
