Custom Development

Off-the-shelf software costs construction companies $50K–$150K per year in licensing fees for features they never use. Custom solutions cost less, do more, and integrate directly with your Vista data — no manual re-keying, no data silos. See how we built ShadConnect for Shadforth — a custom portal serving ~1,000 users on Vista.

Why build custom?

Your business isn’t generic. Your processes, your data flows, and your competitive advantages are unique. Custom software captures that uniqueness and turns it into operational efficiency that no competitor can replicate with an off-the-shelf tool. Our AI-accelerated approach delivers custom Vista work at 40-60% lower cost than traditional consulting.

What we build

From web portals to mobile apps to API integrations, we cover the full spectrum of custom development needs.

Web Portals

Subcontractor portals, client project dashboards, and internal tools that give your stakeholders self-service access to the data they need — without touching Vista directly.

  • Subcontractor onboarding & compliance portal
  • Client-facing project status dashboard
  • Internal request & approval system

Mobile Field Applications

Purpose-built mobile apps for field crews. Time entry, safety checklists, equipment tracking, and photo documentation — all syncing back to Vista in real time.

  • Mobile time entry with GPS verification
  • Digital safety inspection checklists
  • Equipment and asset tracking

Third-Party Integrations

Connect Vista to the tools your teams already use. From accounting software to project management platforms, we build reliable integrations that keep data flowing without manual effort.

  • Procore / PlanGrid integration
  • ADP / payroll system sync
  • DocuSign / e-signature automation

API Development

Modern REST APIs that expose Vista data securely to other systems. Whether you need a real-time data feed or a batch sync process, we architect APIs that scale.

  • RESTful API layers for Vista data
  • Webhook-driven event notifications
  • Secure data exchange endpoints

Legacy Modernization

Replace aging Access databases, Excel macros, and VB6 applications with modern, maintainable solutions that integrate properly with Vista.

  • Access/VBA to web app migration
  • Excel-based workflow replacement
  • Legacy report modernization

Security & Access Control

Custom authentication and authorization layers that control who sees what. Role-based access, audit logging, and single sign-on integration.

  • SSO integration (Azure AD / SAML)
  • Role-based access control (RBAC)
  • Comprehensive audit trail logging

Built with proven technology

We use enterprise-grade technologies chosen for reliability, performance, and long-term maintainability.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of custom software do you build for construction companies?

We build web portals (subcontractor compliance, client project dashboards), mobile field apps (timesheets, safety checklists, equipment tracking), API integrations, and legacy system replacements — all integrated directly with Vista by Viewpoint. Everything is custom-built for your specific workflows, not off-the-shelf software adapted to fit.

Do you build mobile apps for field crews?

Yes. We build mobile-first web applications for field teams — time entry with GPS, safety inspections, equipment logs, photo capture, and daily reports. All data syncs directly to Vista in real time. No double entry, no paper forms, no end-of-day data dumps.

How is pricing structured for custom development?

Hourly or fixed-price — your choice. Smaller scoped work (a portal page, an API endpoint, a report) is typically fixed-price so you know the cost upfront. Larger builds are hourly with weekly caps. Every engagement is senior-led with AI-accelerated delivery, so you get 40-60% lower cost than traditional consulting. Free scoping call, no obligation.

Can you integrate with systems other than Vista by Viewpoint?

Yes. While Vista is our core speciality, we integrate with Procore, PlanGrid, Salesforce, ADP, DocuSign, SharePoint, and any system with an API or database. We also built StatementZen, which connects to 8 ERPs including Xero, MYOB, TechOne, and Sage.
