Our development process
How we work
A bespoke system to meet your business needs
Build
After a thorough scoping process, we will put together a team to design and develop your software to the highest standards. Our team have the latest and greatest technologies at their disposal to create the perfect bespoke solution for you. We learn and plan together as the project progresses which means you can evolve your requirements as you gain better clarity of the potential of the software for your business.
High quality guaranteed
Test
We’re focused on building the right solutions in the right way for you. We test and review the quality of all our outputs and processes throughout the duration of your project. By implementing quality assurance testing early in the process we can identify and resolve defects with minimal cost and effort so you can be confident in the release of your product.
Go live
Release
Your stakeholders and end users will be involved throughout the software build so they will be fully prepared for the go-live. We’ll be planning for the release throughout the build phase so whether we need to integrate with an existing system or migrate data across, we'll have it covered. Together we’ll ensure that your new system is intuitive to use and can offer further training and support to your staff to help with the adoption of new technologies and processes.
