Bespoke Software

When the off-the-shelf option forces you to change a process that is genuinely your advantage, build the software instead. Carefully, and only then.

What the work involves

  • 01

    Discovery

    We sit with the people doing the work and map the process as it really runs, exceptions included.

  • 02

    Prototype first

    A clickable version before a line of production code, so disagreements happen cheaply.

  • 03

    Phased build

    Fortnightly working software. You can stop at the end of any phase and still have something useful.

  • 04

    Handover

    Documented, tested, and hosted where you choose. Source code and accounts in your name.

What you are left with

  • Prototype
  • Production system
  • Test suite
  • Technical documentation
