Teams we have built software for
Jacksonville finance, freight and health-plan teams can book us to rebuild the one workflow that still runs on spreadsheets and email as software they own, in about 7 weeks, without switching off the systems already in place.
Behind that is a 16-person in-house engineering team in San Francisco and 30+ remote specialists, who have built for Citi, Spirit Airlines and the Miami Dolphins. You are on Eastern time, three hours ahead of us, so your afternoon is our morning and questions get answered the same day.

Our answers: $7k to $30k, a first release in 5 to 10 weeks, Shivam Pujara's in-house team, and everything in your name. The full list is in how to choose a software development company.
What clients say
“They translated very complex operational processes into software that feels simple for our team to use.”
“Communication was clear, timelines were realistic, and the final product matched what was scoped.”
“Working with [our team] was the best decision we made in this process. We went from a 6 month development cycle to a 10 week timeline.”
What do you want to build in Jacksonville?
For Jacksonville clients we build mobile apps, web apps and SaaS, AI features, custom software, MVPs and CRM setups.
Custom software development for Jacksonville finance and freight teams
Most of what we build for Jacksonville clients is not a consumer app. It is the reconciliation tool, the case tracker, the quoting engine or the client portal that sits in front of an older core system and takes the manual work out. We replace one workflow at a time and keep your current system as the record until the new piece is proven, so operations never stop. That is legacy software modernization done in small, safe releases.
If you move freight through JAXPORT, your customers want status without calling you. We build customer portals with shipment status, documents and quotes. Our Spirit Airlines build shows the result: a rules engine took group quotes from 3 days to 40 minutes, and the same six-person desk now handles about four times the volume.
How to hire an app developer in Jacksonville: 5 things to settle first
- Which workflow hurts most today?
Start with the step where staff copy data between systems. A first release that removes it pays back faster than a full rebuild.
- How will old and new systems run side by side?
Ask any developer how they will run old and new side by side and move data in stages. If the answer is a weekend cutover, keep looking.
- Which regulators and auditors does your software answer to?
Banks, insurers and health plans each bring their own rules. Name them in the scope so access controls and audit logs are designed in, and we tell you plainly if a requirement is outside what we build.
- Do you know Florida's breach clock?
Fla. Stat. 501.171 requires notice to affected people within 30 days. The Florida Digital Bill of Rights only covers companies with over $1 billion in revenue.
- Are price, scope and ownership in writing?
Ask for screens, integrations, milestones and price on paper, and confirm the code and accounts are yours. Our pricing page explains what moves a build toward $30,000.
Which Florida laws change how your app is built?
The Florida rules we design consent screens, data retention and breach logging around. A planning summary, not legal advice.
| Rule | What it means for the build |
|---|---|
| Consumer privacy law | Florida Digital Bill of Rights (Fla. Stat. §§ 501.701-501.722 (controller definition § 501.702(9))), in effect from 2024-07-01. Applies to: NARROW: for-profit with >$1 billion global gross annual revenue AND one of: >=50% of revenue from online ad sales; operates a consumer smart speaker/voice assistant; or operates an app store/digital distribution platform with >=250,000 apps. Plan for access, deletion and opt-out requests in the admin panel. |
| Data breach notification | Fla. Stat. § 501.171: notice deadline 30 days (+15 days for good cause); AG notice within 30 days if >=500 individuals. We build audit logs that show what data was touched, so notice can be accurate and on time. |
| HB 3 (2024) social media minors, Fla. Stat. § 501.1736 | Platforms with addictive features meeting the usage test: no accounts under 14, parental consent for 14-15. Enforceable: 11th Cir. stayed the injunction 2025-11-25 and reversed it 2026-10-14; litigation continues. (effective 2025-01-01) |
| Sales tax on SaaS | not taxable: Rule 12A-1.032: custom software is a service; electronically delivered software exempt. TAA 16A-014 found subscriptions/cloud computing not taxable. Taxable if bundled with TPP.. Relevant if you will sell your app as a subscription. |
| Time zone | Eastern and Central. Our team works from San Francisco (Pacific), with remote specialists covering other hours, so Jacksonville working hours overlap with ours every weekday. |
Checked 2026-10-31 against state sources; confirm with counsel before launch.

How much does custom software cost in Jacksonville?
With us, most custom software and app builds cost $7,000 to around $25,000 to $30,000. A single internal tool with a few screens sits at the lower end; connecting to an older core system, several user roles and audit reporting push it higher. Jacksonville pricing is the same as everywhere. You get a written quote after a free 30-minute call.
How long does it take to build an internal tool or portal?
Across the 44 builds we publish, a first release took between 5 and 10 weeks, and the median was 7. Our EdgeBase deal-tracking system for a venture fund took 6 weeks; the Spirit Airlines group booking platform took 10 because it connects to live fare inventory. Integration work with older systems, not screen count, usually sets the date.
How long does it take to build and launch an app?
Our first releases have launched 5 to 10 weeks after kickoff across 44 published builds, with a median of 7. That covers the written scope, the screens you approve, the build with a demo every week, testing and release. We put the week-by-week plan in the written scope. Older systems you need to connect to set the date more than screen count does.
How many revisions do I get during app development?
You review working software at a demo every week and on a test link between calls, so feedback comes in small rounds all through the build rather than one or two big revisions at the end. Screens and flows are approved in the first two weeks, which keeps late changes small. Anything that changes the written scope gets a written price before we build it.
Can you modernize an old system without stopping operations?
Yes, that is how we prefer to do it. We rebuild one workflow at a time, keep the old system as the record until the new piece is proven, and move data in stages. Staff switch over to each part when it works, not on a single risky weekend. You keep running the whole time.
Do you build software for logistics and freight companies in Jacksonville?
Yes. The usual requests are a quoting tool that applies your rate rules, a customer portal that shows shipment status and documents, and dispatch or dock scheduling for your team. We build these as web apps first, add phone apps for drivers or yard staff where needed, and connect them to the systems you already use.
What Florida data laws apply to software for a Jacksonville company?
Most companies need to plan for Florida's breach law, which requires notice to affected people within 30 days and to the Attorney General when 500 or more Floridians are affected. The Florida Digital Bill of Rights applies only to companies with over $1 billion in revenue. Banking, insurance and health rules depend on your sector, so name them in the scope.
Can a remote software team work with my Jacksonville office?
Yes. We are in San Francisco with no Jacksonville office, and we work with clients across the US remotely. Jacksonville is three hours ahead of us, so your noon to 5 p.m. falls in our working morning. You see working software every week on a shared link, and every decision is written down.
How do I choose a custom software development company in Jacksonville?
Ask to see published builds similar to your problem, with client names and results. Ask who will write the code and how they will run old and new systems side by side. Get the scope and price in writing, and confirm the code and accounts will be yours. Judge every company, including us, on those answers.
Should I hire a freelancer or a software development company?
A freelancer can suit a small, single-skill job. When the software touches finance, freight or health data, you usually need design, backend, testing and someone to cover holidays and handover. We give you an in-house team led by our CTO, a written scope and price, and code in your name from the first commit, so you are never tied to one person.
