What can we build for you?
Develop & Conquer helps businesses improve the systems they already use and build the technology they need next. We develop custom software, web and mobile applications, AI-powered workflows, and integrations that connect your business tools — whether you're simplifying day-to-day operations, modernizing an existing system, or bringing a new software product to market. Based in Sacramento, we work across Northern California and remotely. You own everything we build.

Improve what you run on. Build what you're missing.
Most businesses start on one side. Tell us the problem and we'll point you to the right mix — you don't need to know which bucket you're in.
Improve your business
Connect the systems you already use, automate manual processes, and make information easier to find and act on.
Build your product
Develop the applications, customer platforms, and software products the people who use them actually need.
Most real projects combine a few of these — the strengths overlap: software engineering, APIs, integrations, cloud, and AI.
Start from the problem, not the label.
A quick way to find where to begin. Most engagements touch more than one of these — the links above take you to the full detail.
| If you… | Start with |
|---|---|
| Have a website that looks nice but brings in nothing | Web design & development |
| Copy the same data between tools by hand | Systems integration |
| Drown in documents, intake, or repetitive admin | AI & business automation |
| Have a spreadsheet or process that outgrew its tools | Custom software development |
| Need customers or field crews on their phones | Mobile app development |
| Are launching a software product | Custom software + mobile (see Technology & Startups) |
| Aren't sure yet | Start with a conversation, we'll map it |
Illustrative. We'll also tell you when an off-the-shelf tool or a lighter approach beats a custom build.
One project can bring several services together.
A company might need a customer mobile app, a web dashboard for its team, an accounting integration, and automated notifications. Those aren't four separate projects — they're components of one connected solution.
Illustrative. The point of hiring one team is that the app, the backend, the integrations, and the automation are designed to fit each other.
Software that connects to the physical world.
From equipment and sensors to displays, vehicles, scanners, kiosks, and connected devices, we develop the software and integrations that bring physical operations into your business systems.
It's a genuinely differentiating capability — most software shops stop at the browser. When your operation lives partly off-screen, the data from it can still land in the same dashboards, records, and automations as everything else.
See the Connected hardware page for sensors, equipment, displays, fleet, shipping, and connected-operations work.
Built by people who've engineered and operated real software businesses.
18+ years of software engineering across enterprise systems, web and mobile applications, integrations, automation, and connected technology. We understand both how to build the software and what it takes to operate it after launch.
That operating experience comes largely from building and running Agnomy, the founder's own software company — not a roster of past D&C client work. We'd rather be clear about that than imply otherwise.
The practical upside for you: fewer surprises after launch, honest scoping up front, and a team that thinks about maintenance, cost, and ownership — not just the first demo.

Software development, integration, and AI services in Sacramento.
Develop & Conquer helps Sacramento businesses and technology companies build, connect, and improve the software they depend on. Our services include custom software development, web and mobile applications, business systems integration, API development, AI implementation, and workflow automation.
Whether you're modernizing an existing operation or launching a new software product, we provide the engineering to take a project from requirements through development, deployment, and ongoing improvement.
We work with businesses throughout Sacramento, Roseville, Folsom, Elk Grove, Rancho Cordova, Davis, and Northern California — as well as clients working remotely.
Choosing a service, answered.
Do we have to pick just one service?
No. Most projects combine a few — a custom app that connects to your existing systems, or an automation that spans several tools. We scope the whole thing and sequence it sensibly.
Can you handle both software development and systems integration?
Yes. We build custom applications and the APIs and integrations that connect them to existing business systems. Projects can combine software, automation, and data integration under one development plan.
Can you build software for startups and new products?
Yes. We work with founders and companies developing SaaS platforms, web applications, mobile apps, and other software products. We can help define an initial version, build it, and prepare it for real users.
Can you improve software we already have?
Often. We can evaluate an existing application, identify opportunities for improvement, add functionality, connect other systems, or recommend targeted modernization — rather than a rebuild you may not need.
What's the difference between automation and integration?
Integration connects systems so information flows between them. Automation uses that connected information to do repetitive work, with AI where it helps. They often go together.
How much do your services cost?
Pricing depends on project scope, complexity, integrations, and ongoing support. We start by understanding the project, then define the work and provide an estimate before development begins.
Do you provide ongoing support?
We can help with updates, maintenance, monitoring, improvements, and documentation — or prepare the system for a clean handoff to another qualified team.
Will we own the software you build?
Ownership, licensing, and deliverables are defined in the project agreement. We aim for clear terms and no unnecessary dependence on a single development provider — you own what we build for you.
Do you only work with Sacramento businesses?
We're based in Sacramento and work across Northern California, plus remote clients. Product and software work doesn't have to be local to go well.
What if we're not sure custom software is even the right answer?
That's a normal — and good — starting point. We'll tell you honestly when a configuration change, an existing tool, or a lighter approach beats a custom build.
Not sure which you need? Start with a conversation.
Tell us what you're trying to build or improve. We'll help determine whether it's an integration, an automation, a custom build, an app — or some combination.
