Requests and approvals app

Concept for a 300-person company · HR, operations and finance teams

A 300-person company handles around 150 requests a month: laptops for new hires, leave, purchases, travel, building access. Each one starts as an email, gets copied into a shared spreadsheet and then waits in a manager's inbox.

  • One form per request type. Each type asks only for what it needs, with amounts, dates and attachments checked before it can be sent.
  • Routing rules. Requests go to the right manager by team and amount, and escalate automatically if they sit for more than two days.
  • One-click decisions. Managers approve or reject from email or their phone, with an optional comment.
  • Asset handover and return. Equipment is signed out and signed back in, so every item has an owner.

Agency and freelancer figures are typical ranges, not quotes from any one company.

Is this for you?

A good fit if:

  • Your team runs important work on spreadsheets, email and copy and paste
  • Off the shelf software covers most of the job, but not the part that matters
  • You have an idea for a product and need a first version real users can try
  • You want a fixed price and a demo before committing to a build

COMMON QUESTIONS

What people ask before hiring a software company.

What does a custom software development company do?

It designs, builds and launches software made for one business: apps your team uses, portals for your customers, dashboards and connections between the tools you already pay for. A good one also tells you when you should buy or configure something instead of building.

How much does custom software development cost?

With Myriah, a clickable demo is $750, a starter app starts from $5,000, a business system with several user types, a portal or several integrations starts from $10,000, and larger systems start from $20,000. Traditional agencies often charge two to three times more.

How long does custom software take to build?

A clickable demo takes 1 to 2 weeks. A starter app usually goes live in 2 to 6 weeks and a business system in 5 to 12 weeks. You see working software every week.

Do I own the code?

Yes. Once invoices are paid, the source code, the database, the domain and every hosting and third party account belong to you.

Do you work with startups or established businesses?

Both. We build MVPs for founders and operations software for established teams in the US, the UK and worldwide.

How do I choose a custom software development company?

Pick one that asks about your business first, shows you a demo before the main build, gives a fixed written price and hands you the code. Our guide on choosing a software company covers the questions to ask.
