More often than not, you may find yourself in the difficult situation when you need a certain business process automatized but there is nothing on the market that fits your unique needs. This is actually quite normal since your Small Business is unique and your business processes are also unique.
As one of the best software development companies in Milwaukee, we also know that taking something off the shelf and customizing your business processes to fit the software will add costs rather than save some. With our affordable prices, more often than not, ROI for custom software is typically within 4-6 months, which is quite contrary to common perception. We have several case studies to prove this with many happy clients, all in Milwaukee area. With our solutions, you can improve productivity, improve employee engagement, increase customer retention and achieve much more for your business. Our team knows their way around customizations and has the capacity to understand and translate your unique business processes into code.
Custom software development is core competency of Symphony Software. We pride ourselves in having delivered many complicated projects and are up for a challenge for your unique need.
Here are some of the key features for custom software development that we deliver based on customer needs:
User-Centered Design: The design of the software should be user-friendly and easy to navigate, taking into account the needs and preferences of the target audience.
Scalability: The software should be scalable, allowing it to accommodate growth and changing needs over time.
Security: The software should be secure, protecting sensitive data and ensuring compliance with industry regulations.
Integration: The software should be able to integrate with other systems, such as databases and third-party software.
Customization: The software should be customizable, allowing for tailored functionality and user experience.
Automation: The software should be able to automate repetitive tasks, increasing efficiency and reducing manual errors.
Data Management: The software should be able to effectively manage and organize data, including data storage, retrieval, and analysis.
Reporting and Analytics: The software should have reporting and analytics capabilities, allowing for the tracking and analysis of key metrics.
Mobile Compatibility: The software should be compatible with mobile devices, allowing for access on-the-go.
Technical Support: The software should come with technical support, ensuring that users have access to assistance if needed.
The planning stage is the first step in the software development process, and it is critical for the success of the project. During this stage, the scope and requirements of the software project are defined, and the goals of the project are identified. This stage involves our Business Development Specialists analyzing the needs of the target audience, determining the resources that will be required to complete the project, and establishing a timeline for completion. One of the key aspects of the planning stage is defining the requirements of the software. This includes identifying the functionalities that the software should have, determining the user interface, and specifying the system requirements. The requirements serve as a roadmap for the rest of the project and ensure that everyone involved in the project is on the same page.
n this stage, we will design & develop the process for this software. We use tools like Visio or Lucidcharts for the process mapping. We will get client approval for these processes before proceeding on to next stage. Symphony Software’s process mapping capabilities give us an edge for business analysis, process improvement, and project management. By creating process maps, we can gain a clear understanding of the steps involved in a process, identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies, and come up with a more streamlined process thus saving thousands of dollars to client. We have certified Six Sigma Black Belts on our team for this task who help our clients achieve ROI in 3-6 months.
We will design and develop the wireframes for all the screens for this project. A wireframe is a visual guide that represents the skeletal framework of an application. All wireframes will also need client sign-off. The reason for this sign-off is because this stage is most important and the success of the entire project is defined by how well this stage is done. Our UX/UI engineers are some of the best in the industry and our designs are most modern and in line with latest trends. We use tools like Figma and Invision for wire framing and designing. To create a successful design, it is important for us to have a deep understanding of the target audience and their needs. This involves understanding their pain points and the problems that the software can solve.
The design stage also involves the selection of tools and technologies that will be used in the development process. This includes choosing the programming languages, databases, and frameworks that will be used, as well as determining the development environment and the tools that will be used for testing and debugging. At Symphony Software, we have very senior Architects with 25+ years of industry experience. Architecture design is also one of the most critical steps to how efficiently the code is run. We have expert back end engineers lead by Chief Architects who design the data flows and the database around the technologies chosen. Any changes to the design of database here on is approved by our technical stewards.
Once the design stage is complete, the actual coding process can begin. This stage involves writing code in a programming language. At Symphony Software we use React, Flutter, Swift, Python, Java and PhP. The code must be written according to our stringent design specifications, and it must be tested to ensure that it works as intended. The coding stage is where the software developer brings the design to life. We give utmost importance to a clean, well-documented code that is easy to maintain and debug. We have great software developers with a strong understanding of algorithms and data structures, and they are able to write code that is efficient and scalable.
After the software has been coded, we test it rigorously to ensure that it works as intended. Our testers are experts in running a variety of tests, such as unit tests, integration tests, and acceptance tests, to identify any bugs or issues that need to be fixed. Debugging is an essential part of the software development process. Our goal is to present client with zero bugs. It involves identifying and fixing any problems that are discovered during testing. Although debugging can be a time-consuming and challenging process, but at Symphony Software its given very high importance to ensure the success of the project and client.
