FAQBefore you book

Common questions

01.What do you build?

Software for four industries. For financial services firms, a CRM with onboarding, compliance reporting and TFS screening. For online retailers, Shopify stores and the customer service and logistics behind them. For cannabis clubs and brands, point of sale, stock and member systems. For rental firms, booking and fleet systems.

02.Why custom software rather than an app?

Often an app is the better answer, and we will tell you so on the first call. Custom work makes sense when your process does not fit what is on the market, or when the tools you pay for do not share data.

03.How much does it cost?

It depends on what the review finds. The review has a fixed fee, which comes off the work if you go ahead. After it, you get a fixed price for each piece of work, in writing.

04.Who do you work with?

Financial services firms, online retailers, cannabis clubs and brands, and rental companies in the UK and South Africa. Car and van hire firms can also use Motorpool, our rental software. If you work in another industry, get in touch anyway.

05.Who owns what you build?

You do. Your accounts and data are held in your name. You own what we build for you, and we license the reusable core it runs on.

06.Are you a compliance firm?

No. BYND is not authorised by the FCA, and it is not an FSP or a compliance officer in South Africa. We do not give compliance or legal advice.
