Tailored to requirements
The bespoke software we build is tailored specifically to meet the unique needs and requirements of your business.
The potential benefits of bespoke software are significant.
A unique, custom solution can be the key that unlocks enhanced productivity, operational efficiency and a competitive edge in ways that off-the-shelf software cannot.
Bespoke Web Solutions
Below are a few examples of custom development projects for existing clients.
Order Processing Systems
A custom sales and purchase order processing system which allows the client to create a sales order and progress through a visually engaging, secure web portal. Since launch, it has been enhanced with a delivery planning integration with Google Maps and a Bill of Materials module that exports out to Microsoft Excel.
Digital Care Management Applications
A comprehensive digital care management application with privacy and security at its core. Support workers can create and view accurate notes including care and support plans and other monitoring forms. Managers can produce reports and link analytical data directly to Microsoft Excel via a dynamic, always connected link. Support workers can access customer data via a secure browser or custom built mobile application that supports integration with Google Maps and voice to text functionality.
WordPress Plugins
The client required integration of some legacy databases to a custom built WordPress plugin that allowed for both data capture and display via a secure API from a WordPress website. Since completion, there have been many feature requests to enhance data capture, which has meant liaising with the legacy developers to expand the backend capabilities of the bespoke WordPress plugin.
Bespoke Mobile Apps
We have built many mobile applications, acquiring a wealth of experience regarding how to build them, when to build them, and who benefits most from them. Some examples include: social media apps, loyalty apps, management apps for service providers, and apps that support an existing desktop application.
Our Approach to Custom Development
Your bespoke solution, by its very nature, would be built to the exact requirements of your business.
Every bespoke project begins with extensive consultation and investigation, which determines the scope of the project.
The scope of the project will shape the cadence of deliverables and what you can expect with each deliverable. Where deliverables include user facing elements, expect the following process, which we apply to all out web and application projects.
Our Process
Our phased approach to bespoke software development ensures a seamless journey from discovery to delivery and beyond. Each phase addresses specific business challenges, ensuring tailored solutions, continuous improvement, and maximum client satisfaction.
Discovery
Informs the other phases of the project and determines its scope.
By collaborating closely with clients, we identify business challenges through comprehensive analysis and open dialogue. We then brainstorm and propose tailored software solutions that align with their unique goals.
This process ensures that our bespoke solutions effectively address the root problems, enhancing operational efficiency and driving sustainable growth for their business.
Planning
The planning phase of a software development projects begin with a deep dive into the core business challenges identified during the discovery phase.
We meticulously plan each aspect, from defining requirements, designing the interface, building the development team and toolset, writing testing solutions and creating user engagement briefs. This ensures the software aligns with business goals, is user-friendly, scalable, and robust.
Regular feedback loops in the development sprints and collaboration with clients ensure that the final product addresses their unique needs and drives tangible improvements.
Development
Purpose driven development teams.
Our team-based collaborative approach to software development ensures that business objectives and requirements remain central throughout the project. We foster cross-functional collaboration, encouraging continuous communication and feedback. By involving stakeholders at every stage, our developers ensure their solutions align with business goals, ensuring high-quality results and delivering software that truly meets our clients’ needs.
Delivery
The single most important phase to get right, in most cases this phase can take as long as the development phase .
The Delivery phase includes testing and user adoption and is crucial to the success of a software development project as it ensures the software meets user requirements and performs optimally in real-world scenarios.
Comprehensive testing identifies and resolves bugs, enhancing reliability and security.
User adoption focuses on training and feedback, ensuring users are comfortable and proficient with the new software. This phase reduces resistance to change, maximizes user satisfaction, and drives the overall success of the project.
Review
Ongoing evaluation and analyis measuring real success.
We evaluate the success of a software development project by analysing usage data, conducting user surveys, and collecting regular feedback. This comprehensive approach ensures the software meets user needs, identifies areas for improvement, and drives continuous enhancement for optimal performance and satisfaction.
Support
Responsive support as and when you need it.
An ongoing support agreement ensures the success of bespoke software by providing continuous updates, bug fixes, and user assistance. It allows for real-time tracking of evolving business needs, creating a curated shopping list of future requirements. This proactive approach ensures the software remains aligned with business goals and adapts to changing demands efficiently.
