Frequently asked questions
Everything people ask before they hire us.
Honest and complete: if something doesn't apply to your case yet, we'll tell you on the call, not here.
Book 20 minutes →How we work
We already have an ERP. Does this replace it?
No. It reads from your ERP or accounting system and builds the part it doesn't cover: the report that gets assembled separately today, the quote, cross-branch inventory. Your ERP stays the system of record.
What happens if something breaks or I need a change after delivery?
It depends on how we work with you. If it was a one-time project (Sprint), we deliver it running and documented; if you prefer ongoing support (Motor), we provide support and improve the system month to month.
Where does artificial intelligence fit into what you build?
We use it internally, to build faster and to read data nobody used to read. What you're buying is the tool working, not a demonstration of artificial intelligence.
Why not just hire a programmer or a freelancer?
A freelancer can hand you code. What we add is what almost nobody asks for but decides whether the system is still alive in two years: permissions and roles, data safeguards, your team using it without two weeks of training, and it surviving whoever built it. One of our first systems has been running since 2022.
Price and scope
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
Projects start from $25,000 MXN for one process, closed and running, and ship in weeks. Exact scope and price are set in the first call, before we build anything.
What if our process is very particular?
That's normal. We build it on your rules, your naming and your way of working, starting with the process that costs you the most.
How do you invoice?
BOOST is the brand; the invoice is issued under Elías Rul as an individual, with every tax requirement met. It works the same for your deduction.
Your team and your data
Will my team actually use it?
We design it with whoever runs the process by hand today, and that person operates it afterward. Each module goes into use before we build the next one, so it gets tested with real work.
Do I need an IT department?
We build it and leave it running; your team uses it. Day-to-day support, if you want it, is defined separately. If you already have an IT department, we work with them from day one.
Whose data is it?
Yours. Everyone signs in with their own access and sees only what applies to them, your information never mixes with other clients', and you can request all of it whenever you want.
Is the system mine? Do I own the code?
Your data is yours, and your business rules stay documented and auditable, not trapped in anyone's head. The application runs on the infrastructure it was built on, but you never depend on us to keep operating or to take your complete information with you whenever you want.
Will you see sensitive information about my company?
On several projects, yes — we see costs, margins or financial information; it's part of solving the problem. Every client's information is isolated, with per-person access, and is never shared or shown outside your company.
Getting started
What's the first step to get started?
A 20-minute call where you tell us what's costing you the most. We'll tell you if we can help, where to start, and the fixed price of the first module — before we build anything.
What do I need from my team for this to work?
The person who runs the process by hand today: they're the one who shows us how it really works, and the one who operates the system afterward. You don't need an IT department or to prepare anything beforehand.
Is my company too small (or too big) for this?
We work with mid-sized companies that have outgrown their current tools and want a system built for them, with or without an ERP. If you have at least one person dedicated to carrying a process by hand, you probably fit.
Other questions
Can I start small and grow later?
Yes. It's how we build: you start with the process costing you the most, test it with your team, and once it works, you add the next one. It's never all-or-nothing, like with an ERP.
