Platforms and marketplaces
Products with accounts, listings, payments and analytics for buyers and sellers, like the car-trading and footwear marketplaces we’ve helped launch.
Custom software
Custom software built around how your business runs
Type Apps builds platforms, marketplaces, internal tools and dashboards around how your business actually runs. We also build the APIs and integrations that connect them to payments, CRMs, third-party data and legacy systems.
Custom software
What we do

Secure custom portals for underwriting, payments and renewals, like the ones we helped launch for InsureCert.

Integrations
Payments, CRMs, third-party data and legacy systems connected, so data moves without re-typing.
Process
How we work
- 01
Discover
Goals, users and constraints, including the systems we need to connect. You get a scope, estimate and roadmap.
- 02
Design
User flows, clickable prototypes and the system architecture, agreed before the build starts.
- 03
Build
Two-week sprints, daily updates and a working demo at the end of each sprint.
- 04
Secure & launch
Testing, a security review and cloud deployment through an automated pipeline.
- 05
Scale & support
Monitoring, iteration and ongoing support as you grow.
A good fit when
- Off-the-shelf software makes your team work around it.
- Your data lives in several systems that don’t talk to each other.
- You’re launching a platform or marketplace and want one team from design to production.
- A legacy system needs to connect to newer tools.
Tools we use
FAQ
Custom software: common questions
What kinds of custom software does Type Apps build?
Type Apps builds platforms, marketplaces, internal tools, dashboards and customer portals, plus the APIs and integrations that connect them. Work we’ve helped launch includes an online car-trading platform, a live stock-style marketplace for luxury athletic footwear and secure portals for insurance underwriting, payments and renewals.
Can you integrate with our existing systems?
Yes. We build REST and GraphQL APIs and connect software to payments, CRMs, third-party data and legacy systems, with webhooks where other systems need to react to events. Integration points are mapped during discovery, so they are part of the scope and estimate from the start.
Which languages and databases do you use?
We mostly build with TypeScript and Node.js, Python and Go, on PostgreSQL, MongoDB and Redis, with GraphQL or REST APIs. The choice depends on what the product needs and what your team can maintain after launch, and it is agreed during discovery and design.
How long does custom software take to build?
It depends on scope, which is why every project starts with discovery. After a first call about goals, users and constraints, you get a scope, estimate and roadmap before any commitment. Work then runs in two-week sprints with daily updates and a working demo at the end of each one, so progress is visible from the first sprint.
Does Type Apps build marketplaces?
Yes. Type Apps has helped launch marketplaces for web and mobile, including Sleekride, an online car-trading platform with seller insights and analytics, and BRED., a live stock-style marketplace for luxury athletic footwear with analytics for buyers and sellers. If you’re planning a marketplace, the discovery call covers buyers, sellers and payments, and you get a scope, estimate and roadmap before any commitment.
What happens after launch?
We stay on for monitoring, iteration and ongoing support as you grow. Every project ships through an automated pipeline that tests, scans and deploys each change, so releases after launch are routine rather than risky. If you need more capacity later, a dedicated team can start in 2–5 days.
