MyCompanyID App

From Compliance Headache to Digital Solution: How Shape Built an MVP to Solve Healthcare Staff Verification. Every healthcare organisation in the UK must comply with CQC regulations around staff identification and verification. For one care provider, this meant a painfully familiar cycle: printing physical ID cards, reprinting them when staff changed roles, updating DBS checks, and fielding calls from the public trying to confirm whether the person at their door was legitimate.

Combined Cost Calculator

We were invited to tender for a public sector contract to redesign a lease extension calculator and lease length checker. The organisation already had both tools, but they had been built separately and operated as two disconnected services. No shared data between them. No analytics. No APIs. No way to plug them into other government systems or plan for future digital transformation.

How much does it cost to make custom software

How long is a piece of string? A rough guide is a simple proof of concept may cost between £0 and £5,000 and typically takes 4–8 weeks, while a minimal viable product (MVP) usually ranges from £5,000 to £20,000 over 8–12 weeks. A full application can cost between £20,000 and £50,000 and take around 3–6 months to develop. More complicated applications often fall in the £50,000 to £100,000 range with timelines of 6–9 months, while complex business platforms can exceed £100,000 and take 9 months or more. Ultimately, the final cost depends on factors such as features, integrations, scalability, and ongoing support requirements.
