Do we need to rewrite everything from scratch?
Usually not. We start with an audit, then recommend the lowest-risk path, which is often a staged approach: stabilise the current system, extract or replace modules one at a time, and retire the old parts once the new ones are proven.
Can you work on a codebase another team wrote?
Yes. Taking over and improving existing codebases is a normal part of modernization work. We document what we find, fix the highest-risk issues first and agree priorities with you.
How long does a typical project take?
It depends on scope. A focused MVP typically takes 3–6 months; a more complex platform with significant integrations can run 9–12+ months. We give a realistic timeline after the discovery phase, once we understand your actual requirements, not before.
How much will my project cost?
Cost depends on features, complexity, integrations and the engagement model. As a general reference, a focused MVP typically starts in the low five figures, a mid-sized application usually falls in the mid five figures, and a full enterprise or AI-powered platform can run into six figures. We provide a scoped estimate once we understand your requirements.
Who owns the source code and intellectual property?
You do. Under our standard terms, ownership of custom deliverables (source code, designs and related work product) transfers to you on full payment. Any pre-existing Kawach Technology tools or libraries used in the project are licensed to you for use in the delivered product. A signed SOW or agreement can set different terms.
Can you work with our existing systems and in-house team?
Yes. We regularly integrate with existing databases, CRMs, ERPs, payment gateways and third-party APIs, and we often work alongside in-house teams, either filling a specific skills gap or owning a defined module while your team owns the rest.
Which engagement models do you offer?
Fixed price for well-defined scopes, a dedicated team for ongoing product work, or time and materials when requirements are still evolving. We recommend a model based on your budget, timeline and how much day-to-day control you want.
How do you communicate with international clients?
Our engineering team is based in India. We schedule sprint planning, demos and key decisions in the working-hours overlap with your time zone, and back them up with written updates, a shared project board and a dedicated point of contact. We work with clients in the USA, UK, Germany and wider Europe.
How do you keep our project and data secure?
We sign an NDA before detailed discussions, restrict codebase and credential access to the engineers assigned to your project, and follow standard secure development practices such as access controls, encrypted storage and secure credential handling. If your project must meet a specific regulatory standard, we agree those requirements during discovery.
What happens after launch?
Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support. After that, continued assistance is available under a separate agreement, sized to what your product needs.
