Bespoke Software Development
Bespoke software developed to your precise business requirements.
The benefits of bespoke software development
Every software development project is different, but they always start with the same steps - understanding the problem.
Once your requirements are agreed, work commences to develop the software. We hold regular meetings to keep you informed of our progress and to help ensure the project stays on time and on budget.
Research
The first step is to discuss and research the issue you are trying to resolve or what you want to achieve. From there, we use our team's experience to research and find the best solution.
Planning
Once the research has been concluded, we create a detailed development plan to identify timescales and the resources required.
Development
Our Leeds based software development team then gets to work developing the software to the plan we have agreed. This often involves working closely with your team and other third party suppliers to make sure it is delivered on time and on budget.
Handover and Training
Towards the end of the project, we provide training on how to use the software (either at your premises, remotely, or at our office in Leeds), install it on the live server(s) and give guidance as to how to get the best from the new system.
Ongoing support
If you require ongoing support (involving telephone / email support or regular amendments), we can provide a short or long term contract to suit your needs.
Our software development experience
We have been developing bespoke software for over 15 years - not just for businesses in Leeds, but throughout Yorkshire, the North of England and beyond. In that time, we've worked on a wide variety of projects and have gained valuable experience that we bring to every project.
New software
If you have never been involved in a software development project before, it can be daunting. We walk you through the process and draw up the list of requirements with you before commencing work.
Integration
We've integrated bespoke software with many third party services & providers including Google, Dropbox, Equifax, Experian, CAP, Cazana, FreeAgent, Campaign Monitor, Mailchimp, SagePay, Stripe and more.
Conversion of legacy software
If you currently use a piece of bespoke software which is outdated or no longer supported, we can convert it into a modern system, incorporating any enhancements.
Custom API
If you need to feed data in and out of your business to other providers, services or software, we can develop a custom API to handle the exchange of data.
