It seems there are other options in this area:

What exactly do you want to customize? Can you achieve this more simply with a micro-controller with your own code?

The GNSS/GPS and GSM Modems are highly complicated devices, unless you have specific experience and doing millions of dollars of business you're not going to get access to this level of IP.

110$ net price - slightly expensive for hobby project, stmod+ connector does not make the design compact - I would prefer shields but I like ST modules as they are usually good quality...

Not got specific experience with the Quectel modem. You could probably doing things a little cheaper with a NUCLEO/DISCO and a SIMCOM shield, but the advantage in the ST offering is the software support and development environment it brings.
