Pay once
Build to Own
You pay for the build and it is yours: the code, the data and the accounts. Host it yourself, or we can host and support it for a small monthly fee agreed in advance.
How it works
See your system before you commit.
Four steps, three ways to pay, and nothing to commit to until you have seen it.
Four steps.
From first call to live system.
-
Intro call
A free 30-minute call to understand your business and where the friction is. We call it a mapping session.
-
Scope it
What the system must do, and just as important, what it should leave out.
-
Prototype, quote, timeline
A clickable version of your system to review, with a fixed quote and a timeline. You see it before you commit.
-
Build and go live
We build it, test it with your team and switch it on. Training and support included.
Three ways to work.
Pick the one that fits how sure you are about what you need.
Pay in stages
Build & Iterate
Not sure exactly what you need yet? We build a working first version for a fixed stage price. You use it, we learn from it, and we improve it in further stages. Each stage is quoted before it starts, so you only ever commit to one at a time.
Pay monthly
Build to Hire
We build it and run it for a monthly fee. Hosting, updates and support are included. The minimum term is agreed up front and depends on the size of the build; after that it rolls monthly.
Control always stays with you.
Even if you hire it, you can buy it if you change your mind. Every Build to Hire includes a buy-out price agreed in writing before we start.
Questions people ask.
Straight answers, before you book.
What does Zolveo build?
Custom operations software for small and mid-sized businesses: billing and invoicing systems, CRMs, job and scheduling tools, automated chasing, AI assessments and whole operations platforms. We replace the spreadsheets, bent-to-fit tools and inbox-driven processes a business runs on with one system built around how it actually works.
How much does it cost?
Small projects start from a one-off £500. Larger systems are scoped and quoted the same way: you get a clickable prototype, a fixed quote and a timeline before you commit to anything. You can pay once and own it, build it in stages, or pay monthly and we run it.
Do I own the code and the data?
Yes. With Build to Own, the code, the data and the accounts are yours. With Build to Hire, we run it for a monthly fee and there is a buy-out price agreed in writing before we start, so you can take ownership later if you want to.
How long does a build take?
It depends on the size of the system. A single automation or small tool is typically a few weeks; a whole operations platform is a few months. The timeline is part of the quote, so you know before you say yes.
Where are you based and who do you work with?
We are based in the Isle of Man and work with businesses across the United Kingdom. Zolveo is a trading name of Sax Ltd, registered in the Isle of Man (company number 136910C).
What happens on the free call?
A 30-minute mapping session. We go through how your business runs today, where the friction is, and tell you what is worth building and what you could get off the shelf for £15 a month. No pitch, and no obligation.
Will you tell me if I don't need custom software?
Yes. Plenty of off-the-shelf tools do their job well, and if one fits, we will say so. We only build the systems that run your day-to-day operations, where generic products leave you bending your process to fit.
Show us where it hurts. We'll map the fix.
