Overview
What is custom software development?
Custom software development is designing and building software around one organisation's processes, rather than bending the process to fit an off-the-shelf product. Ants Creation (Pvt) Ltd develops custom business systems, web and mobile applications, APIs and integrations for organisations in Sri Lanka and abroad.
We start where the problem is: the manual workaround, the spreadsheet everyone depends on, the two systems that do not talk to each other. The software we build replaces it with a system your team actually uses — secure, documented and supported after launch.
If one of our ready-made platforms already fits — Vero ERP, Vero CRM, Vero HRM, Vero POS & Inventory, Vero Logistics Management, Vero Travel CRM or Vero Membership Management — we will say so, because configuring a proven product is faster and cheaper than building from scratch. Custom development is for what no product covers.

Common questions
Custom software development, answered.
What is the difference between custom software and an off-the-shelf product?
Custom software is built around your process; an off-the-shelf product is configured to fit as closely as it can. We offer both — custom development, and configurable platforms such as Vero ERP and Vero CRM.
How long does a custom software project take?
It depends on scope. We agree a phased plan up front and deliver working software in short cycles, so progress is visible early.
Can you integrate with our existing systems?
Yes. APIs and integrations with ERP, CRM, accounting, payment and third-party systems are a core part of our work.
How is a custom software project priced?
After discovery, against a documented scope — by phase, so each stage has a defined cost and outcome.
Do you maintain the software after launch?
Yes — bug fixes, security updates, enhancements and user support under a support agreement.
