Development
Our development focuses on providing a solution that handles all your needs, all the time. That means that our apps are built with the idea that they will have to evolve as time and businesses change. We always aim to deliver a solid foundation on which to grow and handle new requirements.
Some of the things we can guarantee from our previous experience are:
Ease of use and intuitive interfaces for users – anybody can use it and pro users can take full advantage and complete tasks at a snap, streamlining and guiding processes by decluttering GUIs and showing only relevant info for the tasks undertaken
Layered access – privilege sets create custom access for different user groups, providing robust security for data and communication betweeen your custom solution and other technologies
Data integrity – validations for duplicated data, user entry errors, errors caused by syncing with other systems, custom messages and notifications to ensure compliance, back-ups
Providing management tools – custom interfaces for tracking user activity, audit for data changes, CRM, accounting, timesheets + automated messages and alerts
Customizable by the client – ability to dynamically customize parts of the solution from within the GUI with no development needed
API integration – manipulate and retrieve data from other web services ex. Jira, Monday
There is a reason you’re looking at our services. Something could be done better, faster, neater or cheaper. In order to see how we can help we need to first see what we have to work with.
We firmly believe that change needs to be done with a clear understanding of the context and needs that demand it. This means that we start by analyzing the situation together. Our solutions are created with you and your business in mind and that means that we try to translate your best practices into the app we’re building. From processes to goals we want our solution to empower your company to be the best it can be. And we achieve this through partnership and collaboration that starts by understanding and then by accompanying you and your team throughout the optimization process.
Consulting
How we work
Initial assessment
Our initial discussion will be focused on your requirements, technology you already have in use, your priorities, your problems and your goals.
All this data will help us focus in our analysis on setting the right groundwork for our partnership.
Analysis
Time to look at all the data we’ve gathered from you and from analyzing existing systems. At this point we start to build a proposal that handles all the goals and problems mentioned earlier. We take extra care in designing the solution as we want to make sure our proposal is flexible enough to handle future modifications without extra work.
Feedback loop
We want to talk to key stakeholders of the processes we’re impacting with our app. We try to make sure everyone is consulted and happy with the implementation.
We prefer to talk to someone who can help us with the high-level choices and with individual team leaders about how the changes will directly affect their team’s workflow. This will result in an application that is ready to be helpful to all users and that will reflect real needs. developed.
With complex systems all the planning in the world tends to have some hiccups. New projects might pop-up or changes to an internal process might create unforeseen complications. We make sure that your objectives are always focused on. If anything arises, we make sure to assess their impact on deadlines and budgets and consult with you on how we’re going forward.
Prioritizing
Collaboration
We will be in constant contact with the person overseeing the implementation of the app to provide updates on our progress and handle all high-level decisions needed.
We will also contact end-users and stakeholders to make sure that the app is working for them as well.
This kind of relationship will keep us informed on your wishes and how they evolve. Plus you get to see how it all comes together step by step.
Testing
Usually when we develop a new system, we use a 3-stage approach. Testing is something that will be done by us and by someone in your company to make sure that everything is addressed before deploying a new system.
We use Filemaker because we want people to be able to tweak their own solutions. We think maintenance and some development can be done in-house with the right training.
