Ottomatt vs Hiring a Developer
Many business owners think the solution is hiring a developer to build a custom system. Let's talk about what actually happens.
₪15-30K/month — Just the Salary
A Full Stack developer in Israel costs ₪15-30K. You still need your time to manage, review, and define requirements. Not to mention infrastructure, servers, and licenses.
Months to First Result
Hiring takes 1-2 months. Onboarding another month. Initial development 2-3 months. First result? 4-6 months from day one. Ottomatt is ready in days.
Never-Ending Maintenance
Custom system = custom maintenance. Bugs, security patches, infrastructure upgrades, backups. Who handles it when the developer is sick? Or quits?
Reinventing the Wheel
A developer builds everything from scratch. Inventory management? Already built. Delivery routing? Already built. Business intelligence? Already built. Why build what already exists?
