How much does custom software development cost?

The cost depends on the number of workflows, users, integrations, and platforms involved. We provide an estimate after understanding the work properly.

How long does development take?

The timeline depends on the scope. We break the work into reviewable stages so you can see progress and make decisions early.

Do you provide post-launch support?

Yes. We can continue with maintenance, fixes, improvements, and support after launch. The arrangement is agreed as part of the project.

Q: What tech stack does Statum use?

We specialize in Java (Spring Boot) and PHP (Laravel) backends, with Vue.js frontends and MySQL/PostgreSQL/Oracle databases.

Q: Do you handle integrations?

Yes. We connect payment services, SMS providers, business systems, and other third-party services where the project requires it.

Your team already has a way of working. We build the missing tools, connections, and customer experiences that make it easier to keep moving.

Engineering from Nairobi

Our Engineering Approach

Work with a team that understands delivery

Statum Company Ltd. is a software engineering company based in Nairobi, Kenya. We work with clients here and around the world. The aim is simple: replace the workarounds, connect the systems you already use, and make the day-to-day work easier.

Sometimes that means an internal tool. Sometimes it is a customer portal, a mobile app, or a connection between systems that do not currently share information. We spend time understanding the work before deciding what to build.

Talk about the real problem

Bring the process, spreadsheet, or system that is slowing people down. We will work out what matters before we talk about features.

Leave with something useful

We keep the first release focused, show you the work as it takes shape, and leave your team with the code and context to take it forward.

Illustration of a software engineering workflow

The right starting point is usually the work itself.

Reliable Delivery

What clients can expect

The details change from project to project, but the people responsible for the result should always know what is being built, what is changing, and what they will own at the end.

01 /

Decisions in writing

Scope, responsibilities, assumptions, and changes are recorded while there is still time to act on them.

02 /

Working software early

The team sees real screens and real behaviour before the project is too far along to change.

03 /

Security in the build

Access, validation, data handling, backups, and release checks belong with the feature work.

04 /

Technology with a reason

The stack follows the product, the existing team, and the parts of the system that may change later.

05 /

Interfaces people can use

Good screens reduce questions for the people doing the work and the team supporting them.

06 /

A handover someone can run

Source, access, documentation, monitoring, and support expectations are part of the finish line.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the work involved: features, users, integrations, platforms, and the level of support required. We prepare an estimate after discovery rather than guessing from a short brief.

The timeline depends on scope and the decisions that need to be made. We agree the first release and the review points before development starts.
