Coconut Tree Software · Las Vegas · Since 2006

We finish software that is not actually done.

Take over the stuck project. Look at the AI prototype that looks finished. Replace the FileMaker, Access, or spreadsheet system the business still runs on. This is custom software development — you talk to the architect, and you own the code.

Building from scratch? See the general practice.

Take over unfinished software projects — or the system that is quietly failing

If something already exists and is not safe to ship, start there. If you have a new project and nothing built yet, we will still talk it through — the first conversation is free.

You started. You are stuck.

Unfinished software, still sitting there

  • An agency or freelancer delivered something you cannot put in front of customers.
  • A developer left and nobody else will touch the repo.
  • Cursor, Claude, or Lovable produced a demo. The tests are green. Production would be a problem.
  • A founder MVP that cannot survive a real user, a real login, or a real invoice.

The business still runs on it.

FileMaker, Access, and spreadsheet systems

  • A FileMaker file that is the company, and the person who built it retired.
  • A Microsoft Access database that cannot be opened on the new laptops.
  • Excel or Google Sheets doing the job of software — no audit trail, one broken formula away from a mess.
  • Five tools glued together by people, because nothing talks to anything.

Bring the project. We will tell you what we see.

The first step is a short call with the architect. Existing software, a file, or a new project you have not started yet — all of those are a reason to talk. The call is free.

  1. 1

    A call about the project

    What exists, what you want to build, what “done” would mean. Screen-share is fine. Nothing built yet is fine.

  2. 2

    A straight answer

    Ship it, fix it, rewrite it, or do not build. We will not pretend a demo is production.

  3. 3

    A first slice, if it is a fit

    One working piece in production. Then we keep building whatever the business needs.

You talk to the person who will open the repo

Boris Katok has been building software for more than 30 years and has run Coconut Tree Software in Las Vegas since 2006. He takes the call. He opens the repo. You are not handed to a junior team or an offshore desk.

AI makes the shop faster. It is also why a lot of “done” software is not done. We wrote about that gap: why AI coding projects break between demo and production.

“I will tell you if this should be thrown away. That is the job. Building it is what comes after.”

Questions about finishing unfinished software

How do we start?
Book a short call with the architect. Bring existing software if you have it — a repo, a FileMaker or Access file, or a screen-share. If you are starting from scratch, that is a fine first conversation too. We will tell you whether we can help and what a first slice would look like.
Do you take over unfinished software projects from other developers?
Yes. That is the main thing we advertise. We take over AI prototypes, abandoned agency builds, founder MVPs, and internal tools after a developer left. We start by looking at the actual project, not a slide deck.
Can you convert FileMaker or a Microsoft Access database to a modern system?
Yes. Dying FileMaker, Access, and spreadsheet systems are a core fit. We diagnose what the file is actually doing for the business, then quote a first slice — not a multi-year rewrite of everything at once.
How much does it cost to finish unfinished software?
A first production slice is typically $15,000 to $40,000 over 4 to 8 weeks. Full custom software development projects after that usually land between $10,000 and $80,000 depending on scope. We quote a fixed price after we have seen the project.
Do I own the code?
Yes. You own the source code, the data, and everything we build. No per-seat licensing and no vendor lock-in.
Where is Coconut Tree Software based?
Las Vegas, Nevada. We have built custom software here since 2006. You talk to the lead architect, Boris Katok — not a sales desk and not an offshore handoff.

Show us the thing — or the thing you want built.
