Quick answer
ALCA Software builds custom software for U.S. and Latin American companies: web platforms, mobile apps, internal tools and AI automation. We work as a product-minded studio — engineered to senior standards, fixed or dedicated-team engagements, and software that ships to production, not just billable hours.
Systems, not templates
What you get
We design, build and scale software that solves a real business problem — measured in outcomes, not features shipped.
We turn your idea into a scoped, prioritized plan with a realistic budget and timeline before a line of code is written.
Every system is architected to senior standards — maintainable, scalable, with reviews, tests and CI/CD from day one.
Automated and manual testing, plus security practices aligned with OWASP, baked into the delivery pipeline.
We stay after launch: monitoring, support and iteration as your product and user base grow.
How we work
A transparent, low-risk process: discovery, design, build in short cycles, and ship. You see progress every week. See our full delivery methodology for details.
Engagement models
- Fixed scope — best for well-defined projects and MVPs
- Dedicated team — best for ongoing product development
- Staff augmentation — engineering talent embedded in your team, held to senior standards

Frequently asked questions
How much does custom software development cost?
It depends on scope and complexity. Most projects range from a focused MVP to a multi-team platform. We give a clear estimate after a short discovery call, and you can get a ballpark with our software development cost calculator.
How long does it take to build custom software?
A focused MVP typically takes 6–12 weeks; larger platforms run in phased releases. We define milestones during discovery so you always know what ships when.
Do we own the code?
Yes. You own all source code, infrastructure and documentation. There is no lock-in.
Why nearshore instead of offshore?
Our team works in U.S. time zones and communicates in English, which removes the overnight lag and miscommunication that slows offshore projects — at a better rate than fully onshore teams.
