AI-Native Architecture
for SMBs.

Powertrend applies AI for SMBs by building custom software: MVPs, management systems, and proprietary platforms. Timeline and investment depend on scope — first functional delivery in about 30 days for most projects. 100% your code, zero lock-in.

What changed

Why now is different

Two factors converged to make SaaS indefensible for mid-market companies. First: the setup fee (R$ 30k–50k paid before the 1st monthly bill) that nobody mentions in comparisons — which already covers a custom system. Second: AI agents collapsed development costs. What used to take months and six-figure budgets, we now deliver as custom software with first functional delivery in about 30 days for most projects — timeline and investment depend on scope. Break-even typically before the 10th SaaS subscription month.

AI-Native Architecture

Not just using AI tools — redesigning how the system is built so AI agents operate autonomously. The same redesign that took the fintech from 50 to 5 engineers.

Break-even in ~10 months

Add up your monthly SaaS spend × 10 months. In most cases, that total already covers a custom solution — and you stop paying forever.

Code 100% yours from commit 1

Repository, infrastructure and credentials belong to your company. No retention clause. No dependency on Powertrend for the system to run.

First delivery ~30 days (scoped)

2-week sprints with incremental functional deliveries. Final timeline depends on scope — you use the system as it grows and validate each step.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this page cover?
Custom software only: system MVPs, proprietary platforms, management systems, APIs, and integrations. Websites have their own page (15-day delivery). AI-powered ecommerce and mobile apps are separate offerings.
What is the timeline for a custom system?
It depends on scope. For most projects, the first functional delivery ships in about 30 days. Larger systems follow 2-week sprints with incremental delivery. Websites are not in this timeline — they are 15 days on the websites page.
Do I really own the code?
Yes, 100%. Upon project settlement, we transfer repositories and infrastructure credentials. There is no lock-in or retention clause.
How does this relate to “Unite tools with AI”?
Many SMBs start by integrating what they already use (WhatsApp, spreadsheets, CRM). When leaving a SaaS or building a proprietary core makes sense, the path is custom software on this page — with the /replace-saas journey to simulate and decide.
Do you offer post-launch maintenance?
Yes, ongoing support and evolution plans are optional. We deliver complete documentation so your team can operate independently.
How do you ensure data security?
Encryption in transit and at rest, secure authentication, OWASP-focused review, and infrastructure with environment isolation.
