Quick Answer
Use this 7-point checklist before you sign: local presence, relevant case studies, transparent pricing, clear IP, written scope, communication plan, and post-launch support. If a vendor fails three or more, keep shopping.
Start with our hub: custom software development in Kharadi and the software services overview.
1. Local presence you can visit
“Near EON IT Park” should mean a real office — not only a virtual address. Blucor Techno works from Office No-02A, Downtown CityVista, Kharadi. Discovery meetings beat endless Zoom for SME projects.
2. Case studies in your category
Ask for proof in education, real estate, healthcare, or ops tools — whichever matches you. Marketing-only portfolios are a red flag for software builds.
3. Transparent price bands
Vendors who refuse any range until a 10-page proposal often hide scope games. We publish bands on the software pricing guide so you can budget early.
4. Written scope and milestones
Must include: features in v1, out-of-scope list, timeline, payment stages, and what “done” means. No scope = no accountability.
5. Who owns the code and accounts?
You should own source code, domains, hosting, and store accounts. Confirm it in writing before kickoff.
6. Communication cadence
Weekly demos beat monthly surprises. Ask who your day-to-day contact is and how WhatsApp / ticket updates work.
7. Post-launch support
Apps and CRMs need fixes after go-live. Ask about warranty weeks and retainer options before launch week panic.
Red Flags
