Software development FAQs
Straight answers to the software development questions we hear most, from what we build to what it costs and how to get started.

Software development services
What we build, from web and mobile apps to internal tools, AI features, and automation. Most answers link to the service page with more detail.
Avenva Solutions is a software development company in Bakersfield, California. We build custom software, web applications, iOS and Android apps, AI features and chatbots, workflow automation, SaaS products, custom CRM and ERP systems, and cloud infrastructure, plus UI/UX design, QA, API integrations, and legacy modernization.
See all software development servicesWe develop customer-facing products (web apps, mobile apps, SaaS platforms, marketplaces) and internal business software (dashboards, CRMs, ERPs, scheduling and dispatch tools, and automations). Most projects are built on Next.js, React, Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL, and AWS, with React Native for mobile.
Browse the software solutions we buildYes. Custom software development is our core service: software designed around your workflows, users, and goals instead of an off-the-shelf product you have to work around. You own the code and the infrastructure from day one.
Custom software developmentYes. We build web applications, customer portals, dashboards, and marketing sites, mostly on Next.js and React, designed to be fast, accessible, and easy to find in search.
Web development servicesYes. We build iOS and Android apps, usually in React Native so one codebase ships to both app stores, with native modules where a feature needs them. We handle design, development, testing, and App Store and Google Play submission.
Mobile app developmentYes. Everything we build runs in the cloud, typically on AWS or Vercel, with automated deployments, monitoring, and backups. We also set up or clean up cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines for existing applications.
Cloud & DevOps servicesYes. Most software we build is database-driven: we design the data model first, usually on PostgreSQL, then build the screens, reports, permissions, and integrations on top of it so your information stays organized and accurate.
Yes. We build internal tools such as admin dashboards, custom CRMs, ERPs, inventory and scheduling systems, and approval workflows, so your team stops juggling spreadsheets and disconnected apps.
Custom CRM & ERP developmentYes. We automate repetitive work like lead routing, data entry, invoicing, reporting, and approvals, using tools like n8n, Make, or Zapier when they fit and custom code when they don't, with alerts when an automation fails.
Workflow automation servicesYes. Complex projects, such as multi-system integrations, role-based enterprise platforms, and compliance-heavy software, start with a discovery phase where we map the process, data, and constraints before committing to an architecture or estimate.
Enterprise application developmentIntegrations and existing software
Connecting your apps, adding features to software you already run, and modernizing older systems without starting over.
Yes. We build and connect APIs so your applications share data automatically, for example syncing a CRM with billing, a website with an ERP, or an app with payment, mapping, or messaging services.
Yes, in most cases. If the third-party service offers an API or webhooks, we can connect it to your application. If it doesn't, we look at alternatives such as file exports, an integration platform, or a different provider, and tell you up front which one is reliable.
Yes. We integrate new software with the systems you already run, including CRMs, ERPs, accounting, helpdesk, and calendar tools, so data is entered once and stays consistent everywhere instead of being copied by hand.
Yes. We start with a code and architecture review, then fix performance problems, bugs, and security issues and improve the user experience. That includes apps built by other agencies or generated with AI coding tools.
Fixing AI-generated and inherited codeYes. We review your existing codebase first, then add features in a way that fits its architecture, with tests so the new work doesn't break what already works.
Yes. We modernize legacy systems in stages, moving data and features to a modern stack while the old system keeps running, so your business avoids a risky all-at-once cutover.
How we migrate legacy systems without downtimeOur development process
How a project runs with us, from defining requirements to quality checks, growth, and support after launch.
Yes. We help founders scope the smallest version of the idea that proves it works (an MVP), then design, build, and launch it on web, iOS, or Android, with an architecture that can grow if it takes off.
MVP development for startupsYes. Every project starts with discovery: we work through your goals, users, must-have features, and constraints, and turn them into a written scope that the estimate and timeline are based on.
Yes. We map how your team actually works before designing anything, then build the software around that process, and refine it with your feedback through wireframes, prototypes, and preview builds.
Yes. Tailoring software to the business is the point of custom development: your processes, terminology, user roles, and integrations shape the product, rather than the other way around.
Yes. We write automated tests, review code, ship to preview environments so you can check work as it's built, and monitor applications after launch. We use standard, well-documented technology so any future team can maintain the code.
Yes. We choose architecture, databases, and hosting with growth in mind, so the software can handle more users, data, and features without a rewrite, while keeping it no more complex than your current stage needs.
How we choose a scalable tech stackYes. Because you own the code and it's built on standard technology, new features, users, and integrations can be added as your business changes, by us or by any other development team.
Yes. After launch we offer maintenance, monitoring, bug fixes, security updates, and ongoing feature development, so your software keeps improving instead of going stale.
Cost, timelines, and getting started
What drives cost and timelines, how free estimates work, and the quickest ways to start a conversation with our team.
It depends on scope: the number of features, user roles, integrations, and platforms drives the cost more than anything else. We give a fixed-scope estimate before any work begins, and our cost guide breaks down typical ranges by project type.
Custom software development cost guideYes. Avenva Solutions offers a free initial consultation and a free project estimate. Share your requirements, goals, and preferred timeline, and we'll come back with a scoped estimate.

Request a quoteA focused MVP can be live within a few weeks. From there, the timeline depends on the features and integrations you need, and we confirm it in writing once discovery has defined the scope.
Yes. We work with startups building their first product, small businesses replacing spreadsheets and manual work, and established companies modernizing systems, and we scope each project to fit the budget.
You own the code from day one, there's no vendor lock-in, the same engineers scope, build, and support your project, you talk directly to the people writing the code, and pricing is fixed-scope and transparent.
