Custom Zoho development

When your Zoho project needs real code.

Deluge functions, Catalyst backends and customer-facing applications. We build the parts that standard configuration can’t give you, with a defined scope and a documented handover.

No specification needed to start. Tell us the outcome you want.

What we can build

From a stubborn workflow to a complete application.

Start with the job your business needs done. We choose the simplest suitable place for the code: a Deluge function, a Catalyst service or an application connected through an API.

Deluge & CRM automation

When your business rules no longer fit a standard workflow, custom functions can put the logic where it belongs: in the system, rather than in someone’s memory.

  • Custom functions and event-driven workflows
  • Custom CRM modules and COQL queries
  • Version-controlled Deluge and documented behaviour

Zoho Catalyst backends

For logic that needs more than a CRM function, we build serverless services in Java, Node.js and Python. Catalyst can handle the application backend while CRM remains your system of record.

  • API endpoints and webhook handlers
  • Authentication, file storage and scheduled tasks
  • Integrations with external data and services

Customer-facing applications

Let customers complete the steps themselves: create an account, subscribe, book an appointment or raise a support request. A React interface can connect those steps to the Zoho products you already use.

  • React frontends connected to Catalyst
  • Subscription access and feature paywalls
  • Booking and support journeys

Work on an existing system

You don’t need a new platform to need a developer. We can investigate a failing automation, extend an existing application or implement a defined improvement alongside your admin or partner.

  • Understand the current flow before changing it
  • Agree the behaviour the fix must achieve
  • Test the affected workflow and document the change

Connecting another system?

Data ownership, authentication, retries and duplicate records need deliberate decisions. Our integration work covers the flow between systems as well as the code that connects them.

Built by DDH Systems · in production

From sign-up to support. One connected Zoho platform.

For a business serving homeowners, we built three web applications on a shared React frontend, with Zoho CRM at the centre. Subscriptions, bookings, documents and support are connected through Catalyst.

A clear way to work together

A defined project. An engineer who sees it through.

Eight years engineering business systems.

Our background spans .NET, Rails, React, databases, Azure and AWS. That matters when your Zoho project needs to work with the rest of your business, too.

Direct access to a senior engineer. English or French. Remote collaboration.

  1. Show us where you’re stuck

    Share the apps involved and what you want to happen. We clarify the problem, check feasibility and tell you if we’re the right fit.

  2. Agree the scope and price

    You get the proposed work, deliverables and price in writing. If the scope changes, we agree the change before doing more work.

  3. Build, test and hand over

    We implement the agreed solution, test the real workflow and document the handover. You keep the code and documentation. Monthly on-call retainers are available if you need ongoing help.

Before you get in touch

A few things you might be wondering.

Do I need to know exactly what to build?

No. Start with the problem and the outcome you want. We’ll help identify whether configuration, Deluge, an integration or a custom application makes sense before agreeing the work.

How does €500/day become a project price?

The day rate is the basis for estimating custom development. Once the scope is clear, we quote the agreed work in writing. Billing setup, health checks and deliverability work have their own published packages. Zoho subscriptions and third-party fees are separate.

Can you work with our existing Zoho partner or admin?

Yes. We can take on a specific development or integration alongside your current team. We agree who owns each part and document what we change so the work can be maintained afterwards.

Will we be tied to you afterwards?

No ongoing contract is required for a project. You keep the delivered code and documentation. If you want us available for improvements and support, we can agree a separate monthly on-call retainer.

Start with a short brief

What should Zoho do better for you?

Tell us what you’re trying to achieve. A few sentences are enough; you don’t need a technical specification.

  • Usually a reply within one working day
  • An honest view of fit and next steps
  • Scope and price agreed before work begins
