Build a Vertical

BasicBMS – A Modular Business Platform

You bring the expertise. We bring the platform.

No software is built for your industry — so most owners bend their business around generic tools or pay six figures for an 18-month custom build. There’s a third way: we arrive 90–99% built, and you shape it into a product for your vertical.

90–99% Built

The platform already exists. We finish the last 1–10% around your workflow — not start from scratch.

Weeks, Not 18 Months

A ground-up custom build takes 18 months and six figures. Yours goes live in weeks.

You Shape It

You’re the subject-matter expert. The vertical follows how your industry really operates.

The hard part was never the code.

Here’s what most software companies won’t tell you: the hard part was never the code. It’s knowing how your industry actually works. We’ve already built the platform — accounts, billing, scheduling, work orders, documents, mapping, reporting, payments. For a new vertical, we usually show up with 90, 95, even 99% of it already done.

What’s missing is the glue — the 1 to 10% that’s specific to your industry. The rules. The workflow. The language. The way your business actually moves. That’s where you come in.

How a vertical gets founded

You’re the subject matter expert. You understand the flow. We sit down with you and your team and turn the platform into a product that follows how your industry really operates — workflows, behavior, the way it all fits together. The people who help found a vertical on BasicBMS are the ones who drive how the software works for everyone who comes after them.

That’s not a theory. It’s how the water utility vertical got built — a real water company in the Yakima area shaped it, and now it’s a product other utilities can use.

The offer

If you’re in a market vertical that’s productive and worth building, we’ll often cover the cost of the glue. You don’t write a check for custom development. You bring what you know — the expertise no developer has — and we build the product around you. You walk away with software made for your industry, founded on your knowledge, for a fraction of what custom usually costs. For the right vertical, nothing but your time.

Is this you?

  • You’re in an industry generic software doesn’t fit.

  • You know the workflow cold — you live it every day.

  • Your market is big enough that other businesses like yours would use it too.

  • You’d rather shape the tool than spend years fighting one.

If that’s you, let’s talk.

FAQ

  • What does it cost? Depends on the vertical. For the right market, we often cover the custom build — you bring the expertise instead of a check. Standard modules are $25/month each once you’re live.
  • How long does it take? Weeks, not the 18 months a ground-up custom build runs — because most of the platform already exists. We’re finishing the last 1–10%, not starting over.
  • What do I have to bring? Your knowledge of the workflow, and time with us and your team to shape it. You’re the subject matter expert.
  • How do we start? One conversation. Tell us about your industry and how your business moves, and we’ll show you how close the platform already is.

SaaS / Cloud Pricing

Starting around $25/month per module. Up to 5 users included; additional users about $5/month each. These are starting points, not a fixed quote — your real number depends on the modules you need and how you deploy. Give us a call and we’ll give you a straight one.

Partner or License BasicBMS

BasicBMS is a platform, and pricing isn’t one-size-fits-all. If you run a business — especially one that builds software for other businesses — there are two more ways to work with us:

  • Partner on a vertical. We arrive 90–99% built; you bring the industry expertise. For the right vertical, we cover the build.
  • License & integrate. License the platform or its components and plug them into software you already run.

These are conversations, not price tags — and they’re the ones we love most. Let’s talk.
