Extra hands, when you need them
Some things are specific to you: a report nobody else needs, an integration with a system you already run, a form that has to look exactly like the paper one. Buy developer time in blocks and use it on whatever you decide.
What people actually use the hours for
Anything that is yours alone and does not belong in the standard product.
Reports built to your format
The report your board, your funder or your regulator insists on, laid out the way they insist on it, generated from live data instead of by hand.
Integrations
Connect Corenta to what you already run — your accounting package, your payroll, mobile money, an SMS gateway, a government portal.
Forms and workflows
A form that mirrors the paper one your staff already know, and an approval route that matches how decisions really get made in your organisation.
Data migration
Years of records in spreadsheets, an old system or paper files, cleaned and brought in properly rather than typed again.
Training built for your team
Sessions written around your own data and your own roles, not a generic course.
Anything specific to you
If it is unusual enough that no other customer would want it, this is where it belongs.
Buy time, not a project
A fixed-price project punishes both sides when the requirement moves. Blocks of hours do not.
| Block | Best for | Validity | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 hours | A report, a small form, a quick change | 6 months | Standard rate |
| 40 hours | An integration, a set of reports, a migration | 12 months | Reduced |
| 100 hours | Ongoing development alongside your own team | 12 months | Best rate |
Hours are drawn down in 15-minute increments against work you have approved, and you get a statement each month showing exactly what was spent on what. Unused hours stay yours until they expire.
From idea to live
You describe it
In writing or on a call. If it is easier to show us the paper form, show us the paper form.
We estimate it
You get an hour estimate before anything starts. If it turns out bigger, we come back to you rather than quietly spending your block.
We build and you review
It is built on a copy first. You see it working before it touches your live system.
It survives upgrades
Custom work is written so the Upgrade Service carries it forward. It is not thrown away at the next version.
Tell us what you need built
Describe the requirement and we will tell you roughly how many hours it is before you commit to anything.
