Service · Custom Development
Bespoke web apps, SaaS platforms, and AI automations.
When off-the-shelf platforms can't handle your business logic, Fox Logic builds custom — Laravel, PHP, Node, and AI-powered workflows shipped by senior engineers for ambitious teams in Pakistan, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, the USA, and beyond.
Overview
Software shaped to your business — not the other way around.
Fox Logic delivers custom web application development for SaaS founders, B2B operators, and enterprise teams in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Dubai, Riyadh, and across the United States. We build internal portals, SaaS products, marketplaces, quoting workflows, accounting and approval systems, and AI-powered automations that replace manual work. Every engagement balances speed-to-value with security defaults, structured logging, and deployment paths that don't depend on a single engineer's laptop.
Ideal for teams who've outgrown spreadsheets and off-the-shelf SaaS tools that don't quite fit, who need custom CRM development, accounting workflow automation for SMEs, or AI-driven internal platforms — and who want full ownership of every line of code on day one.
- Senior-led custom web application development — Laravel, PHP, Node.js, React
- API-first builds with explicit ownership boundaries — no vendor lock-in patterns
- Custom CRM, ERP, and accounting workflow systems for SMEs in Pakistan and the GCC
- AI-powered automations with cost controls and human review gates
- Documentation packs (ADRs + runbooks) so your next hire ramps in days
- Pricing in PKR, USD, AED, or SAR with proper IP-transfer documentation

FAQ
Custom development — FAQs
When should we choose custom over WordPress or Shopify?
Choose custom when your core product is the software itself (SaaS, marketplaces, internal tools), when you have unusual business logic, or when you need to integrate deeply with proprietary systems. For marketing sites and standard ecommerce, WordPress or Shopify almost always wins.
Do you build SaaS products from scratch?
Yes. We build SaaS MVPs, scale-stage platforms, and full enterprise systems — typically 250–600+ engineering hours depending on scope. We invoice in USD, AED, SAR, or PKR and provide proper IP transfer documentation.
Can you replace our accounting management spreadsheets?
Yes. We build governed accounting and approval workflows — vendor bills, role-based approvals, immutable audit logs, period locks, multi-currency, and clean exports for accountants. Implementation is typically 6–14 weeks depending on complexity.
How do you handle AI features in custom builds?
We integrate LLM-powered features (document processing, data extraction, agent workflows, summarization) using OpenAI, Anthropic, or open-source models — with clear cost controls, audit logs, and human review gates so AI never operates unchecked.
How do you price custom development?
Three options: discovery sprint with written estimate, fixed-scope milestones, or T&M with weekly caps. Senior engineering rates run USD 35–80/hour or PKR 4,000–9,000/hour depending on engagement. Compare on our pricing page or request a tailored quote.
What about a legacy codebase rescue?
Yes. We start with stabilization (backups, environments, CI), then a risk-ranked refactor plan with explicit trade-offs. No theatrical rewrites without evidence — we've rescued legacy PHP, WordPress, and Node systems for clients across Pakistan, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, the USA, and beyond.
WordPress vs custom development — which makes sense for a SaaS startup?
Custom wins for SaaS almost every time. WordPress is built around content publishing; SaaS is built around state, multi-tenancy, billing, role-based permissions, and predictable APIs — areas where WordPress fights you. Fox Logic builds SaaS in Laravel or Node so the data model, billing logic, and security boundaries are first-class instead of bolted-on.
Do you offer custom CRM development for businesses in Pakistan?
Yes. Custom CRM development is one of our most-requested engagements for Pakistani SMEs in real estate, education, healthcare, and B2B services. We typically deliver a focused CRM (lead capture, pipeline, deal stages, role-based access, reports) in 8–14 weeks for PKR 600,000–1.5M with full source code and documentation.
Can you handle accounting workflow automation for SMEs?
Yes — accounting workflow automation for SMEs is part of our custom development practice. We build vendor-bill capture, multi-stage approvals, audit trails, period locks, multi-currency, and exports to QuickBooks, Xero, Tally, or Zoho Books. Suited for Pakistani SMEs replacing spreadsheet sprawl, and for UAE/KSA businesses needing role-based approvals to satisfy auditors.
