Custom software solutions: Process, benefits & use-cases

Why you need custom software and where can it be used?

For the most part, there are no ready-made standard solutions in the industrial environment for upcoming software projects that provide the desired services and outcomes. Especially for larger groups in leading industries, the requirements for software solutions continue to increase with advancing digitalisation.

Quite often, customised software solutions are unavoidable. Through innovative software solutions and competent software development, companies receive the customised software they require.

In this article, we explain the essential processes required for specialised software, the specific areas custom software covers, and how these tailored solutions can significantly enhance your IT efficiency.

What processes are needed for a customised software solution?

Whether for desktop or mobile devices, cloud and web solutions or embedded software systems, in three steps companies can obtain tailored software that best meets their requirements. 

1. Detailed requirements analysis

Establishing functional and non-functional requirements for the software system creates the basis. Developers with diverse IT knowledge can offer professional advice and make recommendations.

2. Flexible software development

The software is developed in different programming languages and frameworks, e.g. C++ with the framework Qt (but also C, C#, JAVA and MFC development etc. are possible). The development should be flexible from start to finish, with continuous software testing to ensure the quality of the product.

3. Custom software solution

Custom software solutions are used in all areas and industries (e.g. software development for medical technology, automotive, aerospace). The result is precisely tailored to your client’s needs as well as to their customers.

Laying the foundation for customised software with a requirements analysis

Efficiency is the foundation of a profitable business. High-performing software is not only of high priority for your customers or users, but also to optimise the company’s internal processes. The business software solution must therefore meet the highest standards. To define these clearly and make an offer, we first analyse all the requirements for the new software solution and the current status quo of your system. To ensure that the customised software solution can optimally support you in your day-to-day business and bring your company to new life, every detail should be considered and included in the development process.

The process: Software development for the perfect solution, not the perfect plan

After the idea for the new software solution has been finalised, the next step is to develop the software and get started with the development. The software is usually developed in the common programming languages (C++, C, C#, JAVA, PHP) and with the help of various frameworks, such as the cross-platform Qt. Since the development of customised software solutions quite often requires changes throughout the development. It’s crucial to be flexible and adapt to requirements that change over time. After all, inflexibility rarely produces innovation. Constantly updating the client about development as well as rigorous quality assurance are important. This is how the best results emerge in the end, with which both sides are happy.

The result: Custom software solutions for versatile areas of application

First and foremost, you should be fully satisfied with your new software solution, which, in contrast to standard software, should be an optimal fit for you. The core competence of the software agency should lie primarily in the software development of applications optimised for desktop and mobile devices under the operating systems Android, iOS, Windows, Linux and Mac, as well as in the networking of server landscapes.

The advantages of customised software

It’s no secret that customised software involves a certain amount of expense in the first step. After all, you don’t get a ready-made product off the shelf, but are meticulously tailored so that it meets your specific requirements. But that’s not the only reason why it’s worth investing in custom software. In the end, you save a lot of time with a customised solution and only invest in what you really need to run your business efficiently or operate equipment according to your requirements.

Customised software solutions can offer you these additional advantages:

• Decide for yourself which services you need and which you don’t – no need to pay for unnecessary software tools.
• Customised software integrates immediately and seamlessly into existing systems.
• Customised adaptations and extensions can be implemented quickly and inexpensively at any time. In this way, functions and design always remain up-to-date.
• Plan your future investments and digital projects more securely.
• With customised software, you can secure an edge over the competition.

Which areas do customised software solutions cover?

User-friendly, modern frontend designs

With the framework Qt, the 1:1 implementation of a new frontend succeeds, which enables intuitive and particularly precise work.

Example reference: Innovative frontend for a medical device for the application of different eye laser methods.

Optimally personalised logistics apps

The technical conversion of the system landscape to new, app-based processes for maximum efficiency and safety in production is not only innovative but should be approached individually.

Example reference: A mobile app for tablet and smartphone that, in conjunction with a glove scanner, compares component lists by barcode.

Platform-independent, reusable widgets

Based on dynamic parameters, widgets are developed for the display of various elements such as input, selection and output controls as well as for the visualisation of data on medical devices and much more.

Shop system extensions

An online shop can be equipped and extended with new functions and processes through individual software solutions.
