We are using gulp which allows having complete automation for build flow. In case if you don't know Gulp then it's easy to use it. Gulp is a toolkit for automating painful or time-consuming tasks in the development workflow, so you can stop messing around while building any project. You can read it more about it here.

Tips
SCSS: We suggest you do not change any scss files from the assets/scss/custom folders because getting new updates will break your SCSS changes if any you have made. We strongly suggest you create a new custom.scss file and use that instead of overwriting any theme's custom scss files.
