Lagom Studio

Custom software. Right-sized for your business.

Not overbuilt.Not underbuilt.Not overpriced.Not generic.

Lagom Studio is the custom software practice of Lagom Tech Solutions. We build software for small and mid-sized businesses that fits the way you already work, at a scale and a price that make sense for a business your size.

From the team that built and runs bidit and PestelPro.

Why Lagom Studio

The gap most growing businesses fall into.

Enterprise software costs more than you need and does more than you want. Off-the-shelf apps are cheap until you discover they don't match how your business actually runs, and then the spreadsheets come back. Custom software used to be the thing only big companies could afford.

We built Lagom Studio to close that gap. Software should fit the business, not the other way around.

Enterprise software

More than you need

Priced and designed for companies ten times your size. You pay for features you will never turn on and a rollout that takes a year.

Off-the-shelf apps

Almost fits

Cheap to start. Then the workarounds begin: the export, the extra spreadsheet, the process you changed to suit the tool.

Lagom Studio

Just the right amount

Built around how you actually operate, at the scale you actually need, for a price that makes sense for a business your size.

What we build

Four things we do very well.

Most of the problems small businesses bring us land in one of these four. If yours is different, ask.

Internal tools that replace spreadsheets

When the business runs on a dozen tabs, a shared inbox, and someone's memory, we replace that with one system built around your actual process.

Customer and employee apps

Web and mobile applications your customers and team use directly: portals, booking, ordering, scheduling, field work.

Integrations and reporting

Connect the software you already pay for, stop re-keying data, and get reporting that answers the questions you actually ask.

Practical AI in your workflow

Not a chatbot bolted on for show. AI where it saves real hours: drafting, classifying, summarizing, extracting, and routing the work that eats your team's week.

Need something outside those lines, like a new digital product or modernizing a legacy application? Ask. If it's a fit we'll say so, and if it isn't we'll tell you that too.

How we work

Understand the problem first. Then build only what solves it.

Business problem→Solution design→Build→Launch→Ongoing improvement

Understand the problem

We start with your operation, not a feature list. The simplest solution is often smaller than you expected.

Design the right-sized solution

The simplest system that solves the problem, with a fixed scope and a fixed price before any code is written.

Build in the open

Working software every week, not a reveal at the end. You see it, use it, and steer it as it takes shape.

Launch with your team

Training, data migration, and a clean handoff. Your people are ready on day one.

Improve as you grow

Optional ongoing support, so the software keeps up with the business instead of holding it back.

Why the price works

How we build custom software at a price small businesses can afford.

We run our own software.

Lagom built and operates bidit, a two-sided services marketplace with payments, provider storefronts, reviews, and native mobile apps, and PestelPro, an AI-powered market analysis product. We know what it costs to live with software after launch, so we build systems that are inexpensive to own, not just inexpensive to ship.

A small senior team, not a bench.

You work directly with the people doing the engineering. No account layers, no handoffs, no juniors learning on your budget.

Modern AI-assisted engineering.

We use the same tools we build for our clients. A small team using them well delivers in weeks what used to take an agency months, and that saving goes to you.

Nothing you don't need.

Every feature we leave out is one you never pay to build, maintain, or train people on. Right-sized is cheaper on day one and every day after.

How engagements work

Three steps. No surprises.

Every project starts small on purpose, so you know exactly what you are buying before you buy it.

Step 1

Discovery

A short, fixed-price engagement. We learn how your business runs and where the real problem is.

  • ✓A clear problem statement
  • ✓A right-sized solution design
  • ✓A fixed quote to build it
  • ✓The design is yours to keep, even if you build with someone else
Step 2

Build

Fixed scope, fixed price, working software every week. You see progress, not a reveal at the end.

  • ✓Weekly working software you can try
  • ✓Training and data migration included
  • ✓A clean handoff at launch
Step 3

Improve

Optional monthly support and improvement, so the software keeps pace with the business.

  • ✓Fixes, updates, and small enhancements
  • ✓Cancel any time
  • ✓You own the code either way

Pricing is set per project after Discovery, because the whole point is to size the work to your problem. You will always have a fixed number before any code is written.

Why “Lagom”

Just the right amount.

That's the whole idea. The right technology, built to the scale you need, around the way your business actually works. Tell us about the problem and we'll tell you honestly what it would take to solve it.

lagom Swedish, adjective

Just the right amount. Not too much, not too little. The word gave our company its name, and Lagom Studio its one rule.
