The Apps Lab: production software built in-house.
Every app on this page was designed, built, secured, and is maintained in-house. They power live B2B storefronts, AI workflows, and a SaaS launching this year.

LiveFrequently asked questions
Can you build a custom app for our BigCommerce store?
Yes. Custom AI apps and BigCommerce integrations are our primary practice. We typically scope and ship in 4–8 weeks at 60–80% less than traditional agency rates, with full security review and production testing.
Do you maintain apps after launch?
Yes. All custom apps include ongoing support, monitoring, and updates. We offer monthly care plans tailored to traffic, integration complexity, and uptime requirements.
Are these apps available as SaaS products?
Avantix Imager and AdvantixAI are SaaS. Avalara Tax Manager and AI Site Auditor are custom builds we license per-engagement. Talk to us about which model fits your store.
