Can you build an API for our app or partners?

Yes. We build REST APIs that partners, suppliers or your app use to send and receive data: orders, stock levels, prices or statuses. We secure access with keys and permissions, and document the API so that your partners' developers can connect to it without further questions. We set the price after assessing the volume of data.

Can a Laravel system be connected to WooCommerce and accounting software?

Yes, as long as these systems have an API or a data import and export option. WooCommerce has a REST API, and we connect to Lithuanian accounting software such as Rivilė, B1.lt or Centas via their APIs or file exchange. Before signing the contract, we check which data your programs allow us to read and write.

Can you upgrade an old version of Laravel?

Yes. We upgrade old Laravel versions step by step – through several versions in turn, checking the features in a test environment each time. We also update the PHP version and replace packages that are no longer supported. We'll tell you how long it will take once we've reviewed the code.

How many people can work in a Laravel system?

As many as your company needs: the number of users doesn't depend on licences, and the system's speed depends on the server and the volume of data. For a small or medium-sized company, a basic VPS (from €29/month) is usually enough, and for a system with many users or a large volume of data, we choose a more powerful server.

Will a Laravel system be secure?

Yes, as long as it's built and maintained properly. Laravel has protection against the most common attacks – SQL injection, CSRF and XSS – and stores passwords in a way that means they can't be read even by someone with access to the database. We add role-based access permissions, HTTPS and an activity log. To keep the system secure, Laravel and PHP versions need to be updated on time – we do this under a maintenance contract.

Laravel development

Laravel development means building custom web-based systems in PHP using the Laravel framework: CRMs, customer portals, order management systems, admin panels and APIs. Saitai.lt's Laravel developers build systems around your processes and connect them to online stores and accounting software. We set the price and timeline after a free assessment of the task; a module or API usually takes 1–4 weeks, and a CRM 2–8 weeks.

Who it’s for

Your process doesn't fit off-the-shelf software: rentals, production orders, service jobs, sites or contracts with their own rules.
You pay a monthly per-user fee for off-the-shelf software, even though you don't use most of its features.
Your data is scattered across Excel spreadsheets, emails and several programs, and you need it in one place.
Your customers or partners need a self-service portal where they can log in and see their orders, documents and invoices.
You need an API so that your online store, an app or a partner's system can exchange data with your system.
You have an old PHP system that's hard to maintain, and you want to move it to Laravel while keeping your data.

When it’s not the right fit

You need a public website with your services and news. A WordPress website is simpler and cheaper for that – from €499.
You need a standard online store. A WooCommerce store costs from €999 and goes live sooner.
Off-the-shelf software fits your process, and the monthly fee is acceptable to you. A custom system won't pay off – we'll tell you so during the consultation.
You can't set aside time to discuss the process just yet. Designing a system takes at least a few hours of your time or that of an employee in charge.

Custom Laravel system diagram: users, roles and permissions, admin panel, API and integrations, documents and reports

Included

What you get

A data structure built around your process

We design the database – which records there are, how they relate and what statuses they have – so that the same customer or order is only entered once.

Admin panel

Lists, search, filters, forms and record pages for your staff. The system runs in the browser on computers and phones.

Users, roles and permissions

Each user sees and changes only what they're allowed to, and important actions are recorded in the change history.

API and integrations

A REST API for your app or partners, and connections to WooCommerce, accounting software, payment providers and courier services.

Automated jobs

Scheduled jobs and queues: overnight imports, reminders, reports by email, scheduled syncing.

Documents and reports

PDF invoices, contracts or certificates based on your template, export to Excel and reports at the click of a button.

Security

Protection against the most common attacks, role-based access permissions, HTTPS and daily backups when the system runs on our server.

Testing, user guide and warranty

You try out the features in a test environment before launch, you get a user guide, and for 12 months we fix bugs free of charge.

Price

How much does it cost to build a Laravel system?

Price

On request

We set the price of a Laravel system after a free assessment of the task, as it depends on the number of modules, roles and integrations. After the assessment, we give you a fixed price and timeline, which go into the contract. If you need a CRM or accounting software, their starting prices are listed on our custom CRM page.

Prices include all taxes – no VAT is added (we are not VAT-registered). The final price depends on the project: we put it and the timeline in the contract before work starts.

What the price depends on

How many modules are needed: customers, orders, warehouse, documents, reports, a customer portal.
How many user roles are needed, and how detailed the permissions must be.
How many systems need connecting, and whether they have an API.
Whether data needs moving from an old system or spreadsheets, and how much tidying it needs.
Whether document templates, emails or SMS notifications are needed.
The expected load: the number of users, records and requests.

Additional costs

A custom Laravel system is hosted separately from websites: a virtual private server (VPS), with hosting and maintenance, from €29/month, sized to the scope of the system. We can also install the system on your own server.
There's no Laravel licence fee, and no fee for each system user either.
Fees for external services (SMS, email delivery or payment providers) – at their providers' rates.
Further development after launch – under a separate quote, agreed in writing.

Timeline

How long does it take to build a Laravel system?

A small module or API takes 1–4 weeks, a CRM or accounting software 2–8 weeks, and a larger system with several integrations 6–12 weeks. We launch larger systems in stages: the core first, then reports and integrations.

Examples

Typical projects

Production order tracking

Situation: For example, a steel fabrication company tracks order stages – measuring, production, installation – on a whiteboard and coordinates them by phone, while customers keep calling to ask when their products will be delivered.
Solution: A Laravel system with order stages, assigned staff and deadlines. When a stage changes, the customer automatically gets an email, and the manager can see each employee's workload.
Result: A clear status for every order, fewer calls and an overview of how work is allocated for the manager.

An API for a mobile app

Situation: For example, a service company is planning an app for its customers, but its services, prices and orders are stored in a WooCommerce store and in accounting software.
Solution: An intermediate Laravel system with a REST API: the app gets services, prices and order statuses, and new orders are passed on to the online store and the accounting software.
Result: A single source of data for the app, the website and the accounting software.

Moving an old PHP system to Laravel

Situation: For example, a company has been using a custom-built PHP system for over 10 years. It doesn't work with newer PHP versions, and its developer can no longer be reached.
Solution: We analyse the database and features, rebuild the system in Laravel, keep the familiar workflow and migrate all the data.
Result: A system that can be safely updated and extended, with its work history preserved.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Because Laravel is a widely used open-source PHP framework with ready-made solutions for login, permissions, databases, queues and APIs. This shortens development time, and the code follows well-known conventions, so another Laravel developer can take over the system later. Laravel is free, with no licence fee.
