Our backend team of developers uses server-side software development languages like PHP, Ruby, Python, and Java. We have capabilities using .Net and tools like MySQL and Oracle. We utilize SQL Servers, PHP frameworks like Zend, Symfony, and CakePHP, and software development languages like Python for data management.
Before writing their code, our team of developers collaborates with our designers and business stakeholders to understand the business objectives, they then translate those business objectives, and user needs into technical requirements for the most effective and efficient solution for architecting the technology.
Hardware Integrations
We often integrate hardware and software, designing and implementing software that is specifically tailored to work with a particular hardware component or device. When it comes to custom software development, hardware integration is essential for creating new innovative products and seamless and reliable user experiences. It involves identifying the hardware requirements, developing software that can communicate with the hardware, and testing the software to ensure that it functions correctly with the hardware.
Testing and Release Management
Our software development testing process begins with the release of an MVP. Sometimes this MVP will be an alpha or beta release to an internal or carefully selected external population in order to generate user feedback. Using a staggered testing and release schedule allows our software development team to address any bugs to be fixed or features to be changed based on wider customer feedback.
Compliance
Our clients have put us to the test, challenging us to develop leading software that addresses the dynamic data-privacy landscape. In one challenge, we developed a HIPAA-compliant SAAS platform to diagnose and treat spinal health using advanced body scanning technology and proprietary machine learning algorithms. In another challenge, we developed an iOS application using peer-to-peer digital wallet technology to allow users to manage and share their digital personal health information. For all of our solutions, we completed all front and backend software development, including tools to manage patient data and a mobile responsive app and testing and release management.
Enterprise and Industrial Software Development
We use the latest technologies to create innovative solutions to these problems. In one challenge, we developed an Android application to collect, analyze, and upstream real-time driving data, including GPS, inertial measurements, and multi-camera video. Using this app, the client could become more data-driven in selecting, managing, and retaining their workforce. In this case, we completed the application architecture and product design and developed the full application and key features, including social mechanics, messages, AR stories, and the posting of photos and videos.

What is custom software development?
Custom software development refers to the process of designing, creating, and maintaining software that is tailored to a specific organization’s needs. Unlike off-the-shelf software solutions, custom software is built from the ground up to meet the unique requirements and workflows of a particular business.
The custom software development process typically involves several stages, including requirements gathering, design, development, testing, and deployment. During the requirements gathering phase, developers work closely with the client to understand their business needs, goals, and objectives. This information is then used to design a software solution that is both effective and efficient.
One of the primary benefits of custom software development is that it allows organizations to automate specific tasks, streamline workflows, and improve overall efficiency. By building software that is tailored to their specific needs, businesses can reduce manual errors, save time and money, and gain a competitive edge in their industry.
What does it cost to develop a mobile app?
The cost is highly variable and depends on the product requirements. The price can be anywhere from $100k to upwards of $1M for a working prototype. The price is dependent on three main factors: 1) Complexity 2) Technologies and 3) Existing progress. A simple app that is already designed, uses one or few technologies will likely be less expensive to develop than an app that is in the idea stages, will uses the latest APIs, and has many user flows requiring many UI screens. We look to understand these issues early on in the software development process to level-set with our clients.
How long does it take to finish an app from design to finished product?
The general rule is that it takes 6 months to develop an app. Depending on the needs for initial research and design this timeline can grow. An app developed in six months can be used to test product-market fit, but is generally not ready to scale. It might take another 3-6 months to incorporate user feedback from a beta version of an app, into a production version that can be scaled to other users.
How to start the process for software development?
Each of our projects use our human-centered Psycho-Aesthetics methodology. We start the process by gathering information from our client, benchmark the market and existing competitors, and understand the target users. This type of targeted research helps to drive human-centered decisions later on in the software development process. This process also helps to de-risk the software development process. Too often software products are created without a user or without a market. Finding this product-market fit is essential for every project, whether it be an internal project for internal users or external project.

What is the best approach to design software for an enterprise?
An enterprise’s most important decision is to decide what to buy and what to build. The best approach is a pragmatic one. Many enterprises assume that buying software is always the efficient way to design and develop software. However, buying software or using open source software can often lead to longer, more expensive implementations. A bought piece of software must also be supported by the developer, and the developer decides how/if the software will scale and whether to support it all. By building their own software, an enterprise can ensure that it controls the support and scaling ability of the software it needs. its own developers are in control, and if the developer leaves the project the enterprise itself must support the software. Open source software has the same issues. Alternatively, if an enterprise builds their own software, it can determine who supports the software and control it’s feature set to accommodate scaling.
