We build custom software, AI agents, and mobile apps that eliminate bottlenecks, automate workflows, and integrate seamlessly with your existing systems — production-ready in weeks.
Get a Free ConsultationFrom AI agents that never sleep to enterprise systems that run the backbone of your operations — built around your workflows, not the other way around.
Tailor-made applications built around your unique processes — scalable, integrations-first, and production-ready.
Custom AI agents that automate workflows, qualify leads, and process documents — autonomously, 24/7.
Native iOS and Android apps and cross-platform solutions with React Native and Flutter — built to retain users.
End-to-end Odoo implementation, customization, and support — replacing disconnected tools with one unified system.
User-centric interfaces with clickable wireframes, design systems, and polished prototypes before a line of code is written.
MIS platforms, real-time analytics dashboards, and BI tools that surface the insights your team needs to decide faster.
A milestone-driven process with weekly visibility at every stage — no surprises, no black boxes.
Before writing a single line of code, we map your workflows, audit your existing systems, and define exactly what needs to be built — and what doesn't. Every project starts with a fixed price and a clear scope.
Discovery outputs
Timeline
We build in iterative sprints with weekly demos so you're never more than 7 days away from seeing progress. No black-box development phases. You give feedback on working software, not mockups.
Most software agencies hand over the code and move on. We're still supporting clients we built software for in 2018. Launch is the beginning of our engagement, not the end of it.
Post-launch support includes
Not demos. Software that handles real inventory, real money, and real deadlines in production.
Reduced inventory costs by 30% with real-time barcode tracking
A warehouse operation was manually tracking stock across multiple locations, leading to overselling and write-offs. We built a custom MIS with barcode scanning and real-time alerts.
View ProjectEnd-to-end membership & billing automation — zero manual renewals
A fitness business was running memberships, billing, and scheduling across three disconnected tools. We replaced them with one end-to-end platform with automated renewals and attendance tracking.
View ProjectReal-time sales, returns, and inventory visibility in one dashboard
An online retailer had no unified view of sales trends, stock levels, or return rates. We built a BI dashboard pulling from their store, warehouse, and payment systems in real time.

Read the Article Software ArchitectureIf your software keeps breaking after every fix and your roadmap keeps stalling, it's a structural problem — not a people one. Here are 7 signs.
Read the ArticleEverything you need to know before your first conversation with us.
Custom software development means building software tailored specifically to your business processes rather than adapting to off-the-shelf tools. You need it when existing platforms can't fit your workflows, when you need deep integrations with other systems, or when your processes are complex enough that generic tools create more friction than they solve.
Costs vary by complexity. Simple web applications start from $15,000–$50,000. Mid-complexity platforms with dashboards and APIs typically range from $50,000–$150,000. Enterprise systems with AI, ERP integration, or mobile components can exceed $150,000. We always provide a transparent fixed-price quote. See our detailed cost guide for benchmarks.
Most projects follow our process: Discover (1–2 weeks), Design (2–3 weeks), Build (4–12 weeks), Test & Deploy (2–3 weeks), and Support (ongoing). Straightforward web apps can launch in 8–10 weeks. More complex systems with integrations or AI components typically take 3–6 months. We set clear milestones upfront.
Forge Nine builds custom AI agents that automate complex workflows — customer service agents, sales automation, document processing, and multi-agent orchestration. We use LangGraph, CrewAI, and n8n and integrate with Claude, GPT-4, and open-source LLMs.
Yes — integration expertise is one of our core strengths. We have deep experience connecting custom software with CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot), ERPs (Odoo, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics), payment gateways, REST APIs, and custom internal databases.
Forge Nine is a Houston-based team — not a marketplace or offshore relay. We offer fixed-price scopes, weekly demos, and ongoing support after launch. Our focus is production software that keeps running six months later — and we're still supporting clients we built software for in 2018.
