Axiom, a 2tentech company
Custom Software & AI Systems

Software Built Around How Your Business Actually Works

Off-the-shelf tools force your team into someone else’s process, and the workarounds cost more every year. Axiom builds custom software, CRMs, APIs, and AI agents that fit the way you already operate, on architecture you own outright and can hand to any team.

Built Right. Built to Fit. Built to Hand Over.

Capabilities

What We Build When Off-the-Shelf Runs Out

Custom systems, integrations, and AI, delivered by one team that owns the architecture end to end.

Custom Software Development

Systems built to your process instead of the other way round, when off-the-shelf tools force workarounds your team pays for daily.

CRM Development

Customer systems modelled on how you actually sell, with the pipeline stages, fields, and automations your team already uses.

API Development & Integration

REST and GraphQL services, plus the integration work that gets your existing tools talking to each other reliably.

Cloud Application Development

Applications built for the cloud from the start: scalable, monitored, and cheap to run at the size you are now.

SaaS & MVP Development

A first version narrow enough to ship and learn from, on an architecture that survives the features you add next.

AI Agents & Automation

Agents that handle intake, triage, and routine back-office work, each with a human review step, logging, and a fallback path.

Management & Operations Software

Internal platforms for operations, inventory, projects, and reporting, built around the workflow your team already follows.

Healthcare Software Development

Clinical and patient-facing systems built with access control, audit trails, and HIPAA-informed architecture from day one.

Enterprise Software & Modernization

Replacing or wrapping legacy systems in phases, so the business keeps running while the platform underneath changes.

Services

Specialist Software Development Services

Focused engagements under the same engineering standards as a full custom build. Each is a page in its own right.

Why Axiom

Software You Own, Not Software You Rent

Custom systems outlive the team that built them. These are the commitments that make year two cheap instead of expensive.

Scope Before Spend

You approve a scope document with a feature list, milestones, and a price before anything is billed.

Typed Data Models

Schemas and migrations designed upfront, so year two adds features instead of untangling columns added under deadline.

You Own Everything

Repository, cloud accounts, and documentation transfer to you. No lock-in, and no rewrite if you change teams.

Integration First

We map the systems you already run before deciding what to replace. Replacement is the last resort, not the opening bid.

Access Control in the Model

Permissions, audit trails, and change history designed into the data layer rather than bolted on after an incident.

AI With a Human in the Loop

Every AI feature ships with a review step, logging, and a fallback path, so automation never runs unsupervised.

Built to Hand Over

Documentation, a runbook, and a training session, so your team can operate it without us on retainer.

Process

How a Custom Build Runs, Discovery to Handover

Eight stages, each ending in something you can review, run, or own outright.

01

Discovery

Workflows, the systems already in place, and where the manual hours actually go.

Scope document

02

Data Model

Entities, relationships, permissions, and the migration path off what you run today.

Schema and ERD

03

Architecture

Services, integrations, hosting, and the security model, agreed before code.

Technical plan

04

Build

Typed, tested increments with a staging environment from the first sprint.

Reviewable staging

05

Integration

Connecting the CRM, payments, and internal tools you already depend on.

Working integrations

06

QA

Functional, load, permission, and accessibility testing before release.

Test report

07

Handover

Repository, infrastructure, documentation, and a training session for your team.

Ownership transferred

08

Support

Monitoring, patching, and a standing block of time for the next release.

Monthly reporting

Engagement models

How Axiom Work Is Priced

Three ways to engage, depending on how defined the work is. Every engagement is quoted against an approved scope document.

Most common

Project

$500 – $35,000

per project, fixed scope

A defined build with an agreed feature list, milestones, and a launch date. Priced per phase against the scope document.

Fits: new sites, redesigns, replatforms.

Discuss this model

Monthly Retainer

$250 – $10,000

per month, continuous

A standing block of development time for ongoing releases, maintenance, performance work, and support.

Fits: live sites that keep shipping.

Discuss this model

Hourly

$30 – $500

per hour

Time-boxed help where scope is still forming: consultation, audits, fixes, or a second pair of hands on your own build.

Fits: short engagements and unknowns.

Discuss this model

Every engagement is quoted against an approved scope document. Nothing is billed before you sign it off.

Systems We Have Built For

The workflows change by sector. These are the ones we have modelled often enough to know where the edge cases hide.

AI Platforms We Partner With

Five live platforms we partner with, each running AI agents against real operational workflows. They shape how we build, integrate, and deploy AI for our own clients.

FAQ

Questions Before You Commit to a Build

What clients ask before starting custom software.

When the workarounds cost more than the build. If your team maintains spreadsheets alongside the tool, pays for seats to get one feature, or loses hours to manual re-entry between systems, that is a recurring cost a custom system removes. If an off-the-shelf product fits, we will tell you to buy it.

An MVP or a single internal tool typically runs eight to twelve weeks. Larger platforms and multi-system integrations run longer and are phased, so you get working software in stages rather than one delivery at the end.

Usually, yes. Integration is often cheaper and less disruptive than replacement. We map what you already run, then connect to it through APIs or build a layer on top. Full replacement is a last resort, and we phase it so the business keeps running.

You do. You get the repository, the infrastructure accounts, and the documentation. Nothing is locked to us, and you can take the project to another team without a rewrite.

Access control, audit trails, dependency hygiene, and encrypted data handling are part of the build, not an afterthought. For healthcare work we build to HIPAA-informed architecture. We will tell you plainly where a requirement needs a specialist audit we do not provide.

Where it removes real work: lead scoring and drafted replies in a CRM, retrieval over your own documents, and agents that handle intake or triage. Every AI feature ships with a human review step, logging, and a fallback path, so nothing runs unsupervised.

Monthly retainers cover releases, monitoring, security patching, and iteration. Custom software is not finished at launch, and pricing it as though it is leaves you stranded a year later.
