First you see the finished result — then you pay for development.
We design, build and support software for mid-sized businesses — with a focus on AI and automation. The analysis, the concept and a working prototype come at our expense. The MVP is 10% of the estimate. After that — staged payments: you pay for each accepted result. Don't like the concept? Walk away, having spent nothing.
viasoft is an engineering team from Baku: custom development, AI adoption and automation, modernization of legacy systems. The key difference — you put money in only against a result you can already see.

Three doors
Subheadline: Where does your task begin?
- Launch a product from scratch — you have an idea or a need and want a working product without a bloated budget. → Custom Software Development
- Escape Excel spreadsheets — your records run on dozens of linked files and on one person. → Move From Excel to a Real Accounting System
- Rescue an old system — software built by who-knows-whom, the author is gone, and changing it is scary. → Rescue an Old System Without a Full Rewrite
- (soft door) Not sure yet — review my task — a free analysis will show what can be done. → Contacts
The problem
For a mid-sized business, custom development is one of the riskiest purchases there is.
Unpacking: Strong engineers are hard to find and impossible to vet if you're not technical yourself. An in-house team means salaries and idle time before the first line of code. Half of all projects never reach the finish line, and there's no one to hold accountable. Architecture, management, quality control, wiring up frontend and backend — these are separate, expensive competencies you don't have on staff. And new contractors propose rewriting old code from scratch for astronomical sums. viasoft is built so that each of these risks sits on our side of the equation, not yours.
The "10% Path" mechanism (ladder of stages)
Heading: Money enters the project where the result appears. Not before.
| Stage | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Task analysis | The breakdown and the pitfalls | at our expense |
| 2. Concept, spec and estimate | The solution and a fixed price before we start | at our expense |
| 3. Working prototype | Proof in live code | at our expense |
| 4. MVP | The first working version of the product | 10% of the estimate |
| 5. Development and support | The finished product, stage by stage | fixed · staged payments |
Up to the working prototype, your cost is zero. This is the structure of the deal, not a promotion: we take the first stages on ourselves because we're confident in the result.
Custom software development in Azerbaijan
- viasoft is a full-cycle engineering team from Baku. We build software for small and mid-sized businesses: accounting and management systems, CRM/ERP, mobile and web apps, AI-based solutions and automation. For every project we design the architecture, write the code, test it and support it — the client doesn't have to assemble and maintain a team.
- Most companies ask for payment up front. We built the model differently: the analysis, the concept with a spec and a working prototype are free, and the client brings in the budget once they see the result. The MVP is 10% of the estimate, then staged payments as work is accepted. That's how custom development stops being a blind bet.
- We work on any platform — Linux, Windows, ARM, iOS, Android, embedded, IoT — and in any language, down to assembly. Special attention goes to AI and automation that cut the routine. If you have a legacy system, we audit it and tell you honestly: improve it or replace it.

How the team is built
Heading: Your project doesn't depend on a single person. viasoft is architects and project managers who pick the right people for each task and answer for the result as a legal entity. Hence the broad stack: we bring in specialists to fit the technology rather than being stuck with our own headcount. Contributors are interchangeable — the project won't stall because of illness, vacation or someone leaving, which is exactly where freelancer projects usually collapse. → Company

Mini-FAQ
- Can I commission development without prepayment? Yes. The first three stages — analysis, concept and prototype — are at our expense. You pay once you see a working solution.
- How much does an MVP cost? 10% of the fixed estimate. The estimate is individual to each project: fixed for free after analysis, and it doesn't change.
- Who owns the code? The client — once the stage is paid, with no technical lock-in to us.
- What guarantees that you'll finish? A contract, a legal entity, staged payment: the bulk of the cost is tied to accepted stages.
