Why Vercel for this
We map what people actually do before designing anything. The documented process and the real process differ in every organisation, and automating the documented one produces a system everybody routes around.
Vercel is strongest at preview deployments per pull request and effortless incremental regeneration at scale. For custom software development that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: pricing at very high bandwidth favours a self-managed CDN. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.
Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

Questions
Custom or off-the-shelf?
Off-the-shelf whenever it fits. It is cheaper to buy and someone else maintains it. Custom earns its cost when your process is genuinely a differentiator, or when configuring a product would cost more than building the thing.
How much does custom software cost?
Driven by user roles, integration count and data complexity rather than by feature list length. We scope against a process map, which is why our estimates hold better than a number given on a first call.
Who owns the software?
You do, source, IP and infrastructure, transferred on completion. It runs in your accounts and keeps running without us.
Alternatives for custom software development
Same capability, different stack. Each page states its own trade-off.
