Custom software and AI systems for your business
We build the software that runs your company, with AI that decides the way your best person would.
We build software that fits you.
BlanQum is an engineering studio. We build it around the way you work, and we add AI where it saves you work.
Integrate
We bring your data, your systems and your rules together in software built on how your company operates.
Automate
Agents that run repetitive processes with your criteria and escalate to a person whatever needs judgement.
Decide
We identify where AI brings a real return and where it doesn't, before you invest in building it.
What we do.
Every company works its own way. So first we understand yours, and then we build what really saves you hours.
Custom software
The software your company needs and can't find ready-made: your processes, your data and your rules, in a single tool.
Two ways to start.
Q, our product, connects to the programs you already have and tells you what doesn't add up. Or software built from scratch for the way you work.
Q
Operational control across the stack.
It compares the data in your ERP, your CRM and your apps with your business rules, and tells you when something doesn't add up: a wrong invoice or a contract about to expire.
Custom
Fully custom software.
Software built from scratch for your company, when no standard program fits how you work.
How we work.
We call it Calibre, like the instrument that measures to the millimetre. First we measure how you work, then we build exactly that, so before the first line of code you already know what you'll get, when, and what it costs.
Understand
We sit down with your team and look at the process from the inside: where work comes in, what gets copied by hand and where it waits. That's how we know what is worth building and what isn't.
Measure
We give you a closed proposal: what we'll build, how long it takes and what it costs. We split it into short parts, and each one has its price before it starts.
Build
We build part by part, and each one goes to work as soon as it's ready. Your team tries it with real cases and we adjust it as we go.
Deliver
We leave it running, connected to the tools you already use and explained in writing. The code is yours from day one.
If it doesn't deliver, you don't pay.
If a part doesn't do what we agreed in writing, we redo it at no cost or refund what you paid for it.
The price doesn't move.
Each part has a fixed price before it starts. If it takes us more work than planned, that's on us.
Stop whenever you want.
At the end of any part you can stop, with no penalty, and keep everything that already works.
Yours from day one.
The code and the data are yours, with no licences of ours, and explained in writing so any team can carry on.
We use leading-edge technology.
The same technology behind the apps you use every day: proven over years, and in its current version.

What you'll want to know before we talk
Another question? Ask usA first system running in 4 to 10 weeks, and since we work in short parts, something is live well before the end. It depends mostly on how many programs have to be connected, and we work that out on the first call.
There's no price list because no two projects are alike: we close the scope together before starting. Each part is priced before it starts, and you can stop at the end of any of them with something working. On the first call you get the real range.
Yes, from day one. The system is yours, it sits wherever you say, and it comes documented so any other team can pick it up without calling us. If you stay with us, let it be because you want to.
You don't always need one. If a catalog subscription solves what you need, we'll tell you and you save the whole project. Custom is worth it when your edge is exactly how you work, and a standard tool would force you to change it. That's where we come in.
ChatGPT is off the rack: one size fits all, and fits no one well. It helps each person on their own, but it doesn't know your data, or who can see what, or how a decision gets made inside your company. Saving each person minutes is one thing; taking hours off the whole team is another.
Then don't start with AI. We look at the process and tell you where it helps and where it doesn't. Often what saves the most is sorting out how information moves from one program to another, and that costs a good deal less than any AI.
Yes. We can run the whole project or work alongside your team, and along the way we teach them how it all works. We decide that when we close the scope, based on the people you already have.
Each part ends with something you can use, not with a report. And in the meantime you talk directly to whoever writes the code. No managers in between.
We stay through go-live. If it suits you, we carry on with support and new work. And if you'd rather take it and go on your own, that works too: that's what the documentation is for.
Bring us your hardest problem.
The one no program solves for you. In a half-hour call you'll know whether we can do it and what it would cost.
