You can build out many pieces in time as needed. The question I ask is "what will grow my startup the fastest"? It often makes sense to use a "good enough for now" SASS solution while you focus on more critical pieces of the company. As you grow, you can migrate off of it. For example, you might want to consider using Trakin [1] to jumpstart your delivery logistics codebase while you focus on the human side of deliveries and acquiring customers to deliver from / to. Then, as you grow, if Trakin doesn't meet your needs you can replace it with an in house solution. Or you can pay for enterprise support and functionality. Or you can switch to another system. Whatever solves the current problem and helps you grow fastest! [1]: http://trackin.co http://trackin.co
