Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Flexiva professional business applications and our expert configuration services. For detailed technical questions, visit our AI-powered knowledge base for more detailed questions.
How is Flexiva different from Retool, Bubble, FlutterFlow and other no-code tools?
Flexiva is a complete professional business application, not a DIY builder. We provide expert configuration services, not software you have to figure out yourself. Self-hosting, white-labelling, and phone support are included, not expensive add-ons. Plus we're 70-90% less expensive than alternatives.
Who are Business Software Group?
Business Software Group is our parent company - a Cambridge-based software house delivering enterprise applications since 1994. We serve 1000+ companies globally with our TriSys recruitment software and Flexiva business applications. We're debt-free, profitable, and invest our own money in continuous innovation.
Can I keep my data in the UK?
Yes. We offer self-hosting and UK data centre options. Perfect for GDPR compliance and data sovereignty requirements. Your data stays in your systems - we connect to it, never replace it.
What does your consultancy service include?
Our £750-950/day expert configuration service includes: REST API analysis, Flexiva configuration, form design, workflow setup, user training, and go-live support. Unlike DIY tools, we build your solution with you.
Do you really provide phone support?
Yes, free phone and email support is included in Small Business and Enterprise tiers. Most competitors charge £100-150/hour for phone support. You get direct access to our Cambridge-based technical team.
Can you modernize legacy Windows client/server systems?
Absolutely. We specialize in legacy system modernization. We can re-engineer legacy databases, build REST APIs for Windows client/server systems, then connect everything to Flexiva for modern web/mobile access.
What's the catch with the low pricing?
No catch. We're a profitable UK company, not a VC-funded start-up burning cash. We can offer enterprise features at reasonable prices because we've been profitable for 30 years.
Can Flexiva handle enterprise-scale applications?
Absolutely. Business Software Group has been building enterprise software since 1994. Our software serves 1000+ companies globally. Flexiva uses the same industrial-strength architecture as our proven TriSys platform.
How long does implementation take?
With our expert configuration service: typically 1-4 weeks depending on complexity. Compare this to 6+ months for custom development. You get professional software working with your data in days, not months.
Do you compete with custom development teams?
Not really - we solve the same business problems much faster and cheaper. Custom development: £200k+ annual cost, 6-12 month timeline, ongoing maintenance. Flexiva: £750-950/day configuration, working in weeks, professionally maintained.
What if my database isn't ready for REST APIs?
We offer complete legacy system modernization: database re-engineering, REST API development, then Flexiva connection. One vendor, complete solution, 30+ years experience.
