Custom Software Development
Key Features
What We Offer
Comprehensive software development services designed to bring your ideas to life with clean code and modern architecture.
Process Automation
Replace manual spreadsheets and email chains with automated workflows that reduce errors, save time, and create audit trails.
Data Pipelines
ETL/ELT pipelines, data warehousing, and reporting systems that transform raw data into business intelligence.
Internal Tools
Admin panels, content management systems, and operational dashboards that your team actually wants to use.
System Modernization
Migrate legacy VB6, Access, or COBOL applications to modern web-based systems while preserving critical business logic.
AI & Machine Learning
Intelligent features like document classification, predictive analytics, natural language processing, and recommendation engines.
Every business has processes that are too unique for off-the-shelf software. Spreadsheets, shared drives, and bolted-together SaaS tools create friction, errors, and bottlenecks that limit growth. R5 Industries builds custom software that fits your business — not the other way around.
What We Build
Enterprise Line-of-Business Applications
Purpose-built applications that serve as the operational backbone of your company:

- Multi-location and multi-timezone support
Business Process Automation
Replace manual work with reliable, automated systems:
- Document processing — Extract data from PDFs, invoices, and forms with OCR and AI
- Workflow orchestration — Route tasks, send notifications, enforce SLAs automatically

What types of custom software do you build?
Software types
Tap to reveal answer
We build internal tools, workflow automation platforms, data dashboards, customer portals, and domain-specific applications tailored to your business processes. If off-the-shelf software doesn't fit your needs, we design and develop a solution that does.
How do you gather requirements for custom projects?
Requirements
Tap to reveal answer
We run structured discovery workshops with stakeholders to map business processes, identify pain points, and define success criteria. The output is a detailed requirements document and technical specification that serves as the blueprint for development.
Do you provide source code ownership?
Code ownership
Tap to reveal answer
