SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES Process Review and Specification Design If you’re like many organizations, you’ve concluded that a spreadsheet can be only so useful before you need customized software to facilitate the successful operation of your business. If you’re considering such an investment, there are several things that you’ll need to consider before you head down that path. We can help you through the steps of reviewing your internal or external processes, determining what it is that you need, how best to solve your problem up to and including vendor selection or development of a completely customized application.

Application Deployment, Implementation and User Training
With experience in application deployment, testing and migration, we can aid you during the process of software deployment including implementation and end user training, which may or may not require documentation and user-guide development, one-on-one training or classroom type training to be sure that users understand, appreciate and endorse the new application.

Traditional Thick Client and Thin Client (Web-Based) Applications
There are a wide range of considerations in what makes sense for a specific situation and your situation may dictate the application type ultimately adopted. For example, if you have multiple locations and all locations require application access, it may be preferable to develop a thin client (web-based) application. Conversely, if your application will only be accessed from a single location or you need access to local resources such as scanners, it may be less costly to select a traditional thick client application.

Database and Third-Party Integration Solutions
Applications are often built on underlying databases. Sometimes, it is necessary to integrate your custom application with a third-party application or external service provider. Many applications and vendor/customer systems expose the data you want to leverage using a Software Development Kit (SDK) or Application Programming Interface (API). This allows your custom application to integrate with existing systems and data to provide a comprehensive solution where disparate applications may be necessary. Having worked with many vendors, partners and VARs in the past, we'll help you consider your options to make sense of it all.

Robust Data Reporting Environments
With any application, custom or otherwise, reporting is paramount. After all, the point of accumulating data and other information into systems is to have meaningful output. With experience in developing reports designed to show detailed historical movements of company property, inventory purchasing and management as well as detailed or aggregated sales including gross sales, margin, inventory turns and Gross Margin Return on Investment (GMROI), we have the ability to translate your input into view-ready and actionable output in real time.
