Digital-Marketing.pkSoftware Development Company in Pakistan
Custom software, SaaS products, portals and integrations built in Lahore for Pakistani and international businesses, with fixed scopes, weekly demos and full code ownership.
Digital-Marketing.pk is a software development company in Pakistan that builds custom business systems, SaaS products, web portals and integrations from our Gulberg III, Lahore office. We scope before we quote, ship in short sprints you can see, and hand over source code, servers and data in your name. Founder Junaid Tariq brings 18+ years of building software, CRMs and web apps for 500+ clients in 48 countries.
Key takeaways
- Custom software makes sense when spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups and off-the-shelf tools no longer match how your business actually runs.
- Published Pakistani price ranges start around PKR 80,000 for a single module and pass PKR 600,000 for ERP-level systems; scope drives the number, not the vendor's city.
- Every project starts with a written scope, a clickable prototype and a fixed milestone plan before development begins.
- You own the code repository, hosting account, domain and database from day one.
- We integrate local rails such as JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast-ready bank flows, WhatsApp and SMS gateways, which foreign SaaS tools often skip.
What our software development services include
Most of our software work falls into five buckets. A clinic needs patient records and appointment reminders. A housing society needs plot files, instalments and transfer records. An exporter in Sialkot needs order tracking that its buyers in Germany can log into. The tools differ, but the job is the same: replace manual work that is slowing the business down with a system the team will actually use.
Custom business software
Inventory, billing, HR, dispatch, approvals and reporting systems built around your workflow instead of forcing your team into someone else's.
Learn moreSaaS product development
Multi-tenant platforms with subscriptions, role-based access and admin dashboards for founders who want to sell software, not just use it.
Learn moreCRM and ERP systems
Lead pipelines, sales follow-ups, purchase, stock and accounts in one database. Covered in depth by our CRM and ERP team.
Learn moreIndustry software
School management, clinic management and housing society software tuned for Pakistani fee structures, instalment plans and Urdu-speaking staff.
Learn moreWeb portals and dashboards
Customer portals, dealer portals and management dashboards that pull data from your existing tools into one screen.
Learn moreMobile apps
Android and iOS apps that sit on top of your software, built in Flutter or native code by our app team.
Learn moreIntegrations we build regularly
Software rarely lives alone. In the projects we deliver, at least half the effort is connecting systems: payment collection through JazzCash and Easypaisa gateways, WhatsApp Business API notifications, SMS gateways from local providers, Google Sheets and Looker Studio reporting, accounting exports, and lead capture from Meta and Google ads into a sales pipeline. When marketing data flows into the same system as sales data, you can finally see which campaign produced which paying customer, which is why we often pair software with lead management software and WhatsApp CRM integration.
What we do not build
We turn down work we cannot support well: crypto trading bots, gambling platforms, scraping tools that break platform terms, and clones of copyrighted products. We also tell clients when an existing tool such as Zoho, Odoo or a Shopify app will do the job for less. Our comparison of custom CRM versus Zoho and HubSpot is an honest look at that trade-off.
Our software development process, step by step
The single biggest cause of failed software projects we inherit is a missing scope. A client sends a two-line WhatsApp message, a vendor quotes a number, and three months later both sides disagree on what was promised. Our process is designed to remove that argument before any code is written.
- Discovery call and workflow audit
We map how work moves today: who enters data, where it gets stuck, which reports the owner checks every morning. For larger projects we sit with your staff in Lahore or on a screen share for half a day.
- Written scope and estimate
You receive a feature list split into must-have, should-have and later, with user roles, integrations and a milestone-based estimate. This document becomes part of the contract.
- Wireframes and clickable prototype
Screens are designed in Figma and clicked through by the people who will use them. Changing a screen here costs hours; changing it after development costs weeks.
- Sprint-based development
We build in two-week sprints. At the end of each sprint you get a working staging link, a short demo and a written update of what was finished, what moved, and why.
- Testing and data migration
Functional testing, role-permission checks, load testing on realistic data, and import of your existing Excel or legacy records with a reconciliation report.
- Launch, training and handover
Production deployment, staff training in Urdu or English, recorded walkthrough videos, and handover of code repository, server credentials and documentation.
- Support and improvement
A free bug-fix window after launch, then an optional monthly support plan covering updates, backups, monitoring and small feature requests.
Who owns the source code repository and the hosting account. In takeovers we handle, the business owner often cannot access either because a freelancer registered them under a personal email. Fixing that is step zero.
Technology we use and why
We choose a stack based on who will maintain the system in five years, not on what is fashionable. Pakistan has a deep pool of PHP, JavaScript and Python developers, so systems built on mainstream frameworks are easy to hand over or expand later.
| Layer | What we use | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Back end | Laravel (PHP), Node.js, Python/Django | Large local talent pool, mature libraries |
| Front end | React, Vue, Blade templates | Fast dashboards, easy to hire for |
| Mobile | Flutter, native Kotlin/Swift when needed | One codebase for Android and iOS |
| Database | MySQL, PostgreSQL | Reliable, well understood, free |
| Hosting | AWS, DigitalOcean, local data centres on request | Uptime that survives load-shedding at your office |
| WordPress | Custom plugins and themes | When your team already runs on WordPress |
Cloud hosting matters more in Pakistan than many owners expect. A server in a rented office in Johar Town goes down with the power; a cloud server does not. For clients with data-location requirements, such as banks or hospitals, we discuss local hosting options during scoping.
Industries we build software for
Domain knowledge shortens projects. When we already understand how a real estate developer tracks plot files or how a dental clinic handles treatment plans, discovery takes days instead of weeks. These are the sectors where we have the deepest experience across our industry marketing and technology work.
Real estate and housing societies
Inventory of plots and units, booking forms, instalment schedules, transfers, dealer commissions and buyer portals.
Learn moreHealthcare and dental clinics
Patient records, appointment booking, WhatsApp reminders, treatment plans and multi-branch reporting.
Learn moreSchools, colleges and universities
Admissions, fee vouchers, attendance, results and parent communication for Pakistani fee cycles.
Learn moreEcommerce and retail
Order management, COD reconciliation, courier tracking and stock sync between Daraz, Shopify and your warehouse.
Learn moreConstruction and B2B exporters
Project costing, purchase orders, shipment tracking and buyer portals for overseas clients.
Learn moreProfessional services and hospitality
Case and client management, bookings, billing and staff scheduling.
Learn moreHousing schemes deserve a special mention. Our housing society management software work covers the paperwork-heavy side of Pakistani real estate that generic CRMs ignore, and it ties into real estate marketing so leads from ads land straight into the sales pipeline.
Software development packages and pricing in Pakistan
Custom software is priced by scope, so honest vendors quote a range until requirements are written down. For context, one Lahore software house publishes ranges of PKR 80,000 to 150,000 for a focused module, PKR 150,000 to 400,000 for a multi-module system, and PKR 400,000 to 600,000+ for ERP. Larger agencies and products with mobile apps, heavy integrations or SaaS billing usually sit well above those figures. Our software development cost guide breaks this down by business size.
| Tier | Typical scope | Timeline | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | One module (e.g. inventory or bookings), up to 3 user roles, basic reports | 4 to 8 weeks | [Add your PKR price] |
| Growth | Multi-module system, integrations (payments, WhatsApp, SMS), dashboards | 8 to 16 weeks | [Add your PKR price] |
| Scale | ERP or SaaS platform, multi-branch or multi-tenant, mobile app, API | 16+ weeks, phased | [Add your PKR price] |
| Support plan | Hosting care, backups, bug fixes, small changes | Monthly | [Add your PKR price] |
Two cost lines often get missed. First, annual maintenance: a common Pakistani benchmark is 15 to 20 percent of the build cost per year. Second, taxes: provincial sales tax on IT services was 16 percent in Punjab and 15 percent in Sindh and Islamabad as of July 2025, so ask whether a quote is inclusive. Export clients paying from abroad are invoiced differently, which we explain in the proposal.

Results and case studies
We publish case studies only with client permission and real numbers. The slots below will be filled with verified projects.
The best software projects I have worked on started with an owner who could describe one painful daily task in detail. Start there, ship that, and let the next module be decided by what the team actually uses.
Junaid Tariq, FounderWhy choose Digital-Marketing.pk as your software development company
Pakistan has thousands of software houses. The Arfa Software Technology Park in Lahore, the largest ICT park in the country, is just one cluster of them, and the country's IT and IT-enabled services exports reached a record of about $4.6 billion in FY2025-26 according to SBP data. Choosing among them is hard. Here is what is different about working with us.
- Software and marketing under one roof. We build the system and the campaigns that feed it, so lead tracking, attribution and reporting are designed in, not bolted on later.
- Founder-led delivery. Junaid Tariq has 18+ years in custom software, WordPress plugins and CRMs, holds Google Ads and Analytics certifications plus Google Blue and Green Belts, and authored SEO course material for DigiSkills.
- Fixed scopes and milestone billing. You pay against delivered milestones, not vague hours.
- Full ownership. Repository, hosting, domain and database are registered to your business email.
- Pakistan-aware engineering. JazzCash, Easypaisa, COD reconciliation, Urdu interfaces, PKR and USD pricing, and WhatsApp-first communication.
- Weekly visibility. Staging links, sprint demos and a monthly written report on progress, bugs and next priorities.
We do not quote a fixed price from a one-line brief, and we do not promise delivery dates before the scope is signed. Any vendor who does is pricing in surprises you will pay for later.

Frequently asked questions
How much do software development services cost in Pakistan?
It depends on scope. Published Lahore ranges run from about PKR 80,000 for a single module to PKR 600,000+ for ERP-level systems, and SaaS platforms or projects with mobile apps cost more. Add roughly 15 to 20 percent of the build cost per year for maintenance, plus provincial sales tax on IT services. We give a fixed milestone estimate after a written scope.
How soon will I see results?
You see working screens within the first two-week sprint after the prototype is approved. A focused single-module system typically goes live in 4 to 8 weeks, a multi-module system in 8 to 16 weeks, and ERP or SaaS platforms are released in phases over several months. Business results, such as fewer manual errors or faster reporting, usually show in the first month of real use.
Do you work with clients outside Pakistan?
Yes. We serve clients in the USA, UK, UAE, Dubai, Australia, Germany and wider Europe, alongside Pakistani businesses. Overseas clients get English documentation, overlapping meeting hours, contracts that assign IP to them, and invoicing in USD or their preferred currency. Our team has worked with 500+ clients across 48 countries.
Will I get monthly reports?
Yes. During development you get a staging link and demo every sprint plus a monthly written report covering completed features, open bugs, budget used and next priorities. On support plans, the monthly report covers uptime, backups, updates applied and requests handled, so you always know what you are paying for.
Who owns the source code?
You do. We set up the code repository, hosting and domain under your business email, or transfer them at handover, and the contract assigns intellectual property to you once milestones are paid. Reusable libraries we wrote before your project stay ours but are licensed to you without time limits.
Should I build custom software or buy an existing tool?
Buy first if a mainstream tool covers 80 percent of your workflow and your team will accept its way of working. Build when the tool forces costly workarounds, lacks local payment or Urdu support, or when per-user licence fees in dollars become larger than a one-time build plus maintenance.
