Software, AI and cloud engineering, delivered as defined offers.
Eight ways to work with us. Each has a written scope before any work starts, and a fixed price or a defined monthly fee. They connect in one path: Build → Deploy → Operate.
AI Document Processing
Turn PDFs, scans, and uploaded documents into validated, structured data in your systems, with people reviewing only the exceptions.
Pricing: free assessment on 25 documents → $2,900 fixed-price pilot on one document type → production build ($7,500–$25,000, fixed scope) → managed plans at $39 / $119 / from $349 per month, with optional exception handling by Pycas from $199/mo.
- ✓PDF and scanned-document ingestion
- ✓OCR and document understanding
- ✓Field extraction
- ✓Business-rule validation
- ✓Human review for exceptions
- ✓Database, API, and system integration
- ✓Audit trail
Custom Software Development
Web and enterprise applications built to your specification when nothing off the shelf fits: internal tools, customer portals, workflow systems, line-of-business applications. Java and Spring Boot on the server, React in the browser, PostgreSQL underneath, deployed to the cloud with infrastructure as code (AWS or Microsoft Azure; .NET and SQL Server when that is your standard). Mainstream choices on purpose, so the system can outlive any single vendor, including us.
Pricing: fixed price per milestone, in writing, after a discovery conversation and a short written scope. Work is delivered in two-week increments you can see running, and you own the source code and the cloud accounts from day one. Ongoing operation continues under a Care Plan.
- ✓Requirements and written scope
- ✓Role-based access and audit logging
- ✓Reporting and exports
- ✓Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA) designed in
- ✓REST APIs for the systems around it
- ✓Automated tests, versioned schema, documentation
- ✓Cloud deployment with a runbook
Web Applications & Business Websites
Websites and web applications built as real business systems rather than disposable templates: a company site with forms that reach the right people, a booking or intake flow, a customer portal, an e-commerce or quoting workflow. Fast, accessible, cloud-hosted behind a content delivery network, and maintained after launch. This site is one; it is generated from source, deployed by a pipeline, and monitored like any other system we run.
Pricing: fixed price, quoted in writing from a short scope. A content website with forms and hosting is the smallest engagement we take; portals and web applications are scoped as custom software. Hosting, updates and small changes continue under a Care Plan.
- ✓Company and service websites
- ✓Customer portals and intake flows
- ✓Forms, payments and notifications wired to your systems
- ✓Cloud hosting with TLS, DNS and a content delivery network
- ✓Search engine and analytics setup
- ✓Accessibility and mobile as requirements, not extras
Cloud Deployment & Modernization
Move an application off an aging server or a manual deployment process into a secure, maintainable cloud environment on AWS or Microsoft Azure, whichever your organization already lives in. We deliver the environment, the pipeline, and the runbook, not a consulting report.
Pricing: fixed-price implementation with defined deliverables. A single application onto AWS or Azure with managed database, CI/CD, monitoring and backups typically runs $4,500–$12,000; multi-service or data-migration projects are quoted after a one-hour architecture review. No open-ended infrastructure project.
- ✓Application deployment
- ✓Managed databases
- ✓Secrets management
- ✓CI/CD
- ✓Monitoring and alerting
- ✓Backups and recovery
- ✓Infrastructure hardening
AI Integration
Add one targeted AI capability to the software and information you already have. We design around your existing systems and business rules, and we are candid when a problem does not need AI.
Pricing: fixed-scope integration project, typically $6,500–$20,000 depending on data sources and the systems it must talk to, with a care plan afterwards for hosting and tuning. A paid two-week feasibility sprint ($2,400) is available when it isn't yet clear AI is the right tool.
- ✓Internal knowledge assistants
- ✓Document Q&A (retrieval-augmented generation)
- ✓Email classification and triage
- ✓Image analysis and tagging
- ✓Semantic search
- ✓Workflow automation
Systems & API Integration
Accounting, CRM, e-commerce, government and internal systems that should exchange data but don't, so people re-key between them. We build the integrations: REST APIs, scheduled synchronizations, file-based exchanges and webhooks, with the error handling and audit record that make them safe to rely on.
Pricing: fixed price per integration, quoted after we have seen both systems' interfaces. Where a vendor exposes no usable API we say so before you commit. Monitoring of the integration continues under a Care Plan.
- ✓REST and webhook integrations
- ✓Scheduled data synchronization
- ✓Accounting and payment systems
- ✓Microsoft 365, SharePoint and SQL Server
- ✓Validation, retries and error queues
- ✓Audit trail of every exchange
- ✓APIs for your own data, with keys and rate limits
Data & GIS Solutions
Geospatial and SQL data platforms, map-based applications and reporting that make data usable across a business or across agency departments: PostgreSQL and PostGIS, data pipelines, dashboards and exports, and the map layer when location matters.
Pricing: fixed-scope projects quoted in writing after a review of the data sources involved. Data migration from spreadsheets and legacy systems is scoped separately and delivered with a reconciliation report.
- ✓SQL data platforms and pipelines
- ✓Geospatial data processing (PostGIS)
- ✓Map-based applications
- ✓Reporting and dashboards
- ✓Migration with reconciliation
Application Care Plans
Building software is only the beginning. Care Plans keep deployed applications monitored, patched, backed up, and improving, with a block of engineering hours every month already budgeted for fixes and small enhancements.
Pricing: Essential $400/mo (monitoring, backups, patches, 2 engineering hours) · Standard $950/mo (adds dependency upgrades, next-business-day response, 6 hours) · Premium from $1,900/mo (same-day response, 14 hours, quarterly roadmap). Month to month after the first three; primarily for systems Pycas has implemented or taken responsibility for.
- ✓Monitoring
- ✓Hosting oversight
- ✓Backups
- ✓Security patches
- ✓Dependency upgrades
- ✓Bug fixes
- ✓Monthly engineering hours
Build → Deploy → Operate
Custom software, web applications, integrations, data platforms and AI capabilities are things we build. Cloud Deployment is how they, or your existing applications, reach production. Care Plans are how they stay there.
