Businesses just need new technology and digitalization to stay competitive, that’s the most important thing. And today software development company help to realize ideas, creating a completely unique product, just for your needs.
Mobile applications
When you need a mobile app
A mobile app helps increase user loyalty and trust, and expands your target audience. But it’s only effective when you need constant communication with the user.
Automate internal interactions
Before development, decide which part of interactions and internal services is worth to be launched in the mobile service
A business necessity
Keep track of data changes – with the app and push notifications, the user will always be aware of even minor changes
Have a website or web app
If you have a website that performs its functions and users like it – think about its mobile counterpart. It’s easier, faster, and cheaper to create it
Preparing for creation
Before requesting the service, carefully consider the points below: together with the additional wishes they form the terms of reference
1. Think about functionality.
Think about what the user will do in the application. Not all services are comfortable to use with a smartphone screen. For example, it’s not comfortable to write and edit large texts or create graphic illustrations.
2. Form processes
Define who will use the app. Then – how will the user interact with the functionality, and how will these actions affect the rest of the IT structure of the business
3. Decide on the technology
Decide if cross-platform development is enough or if native development is needed for complex systems or gamification of the service
4. Define priorities
Determine the most important features of the service. They must be launched first
MVP design
MVP is a “minimum viable product”. This is a product with minimal functions. Why do you need it?
It’s faster and cheaper to get feedback with MVP than to release a full product and wait for feedback on its features
MVP reduces financial and time costs and risks if users don’t like the product
MVP is needed to get to market quickly. Therefore, other less important features of the application are finalized later
Application Architecture
Developers create a typical architecture: we write structured, readable, and understandable code. Our applications are easy to extend, modify, test and debug.
We understand that after the release of the mobile service it can be maintained by people who weren’t involved in its development. Thus, the architecture of our applications allows new people to quickly understand them
Web services
“A web service is a full-featured system that uses web technologies to automate almost all business processes. Including interacting with complex systems, even if the service won’t run only on a PC.”
When you need a web service
A web product must not only solve business problems but also be truly convenient. The main purpose of a web service is to speed up and simplify user problems.
We help clients launch and scale intelligent digital services as part of a corporate ecosystem: dashboards, learning management systems, workflow automation, personal accounts
Web services are effective if:
- There is a need to automate business processes and staff interaction
- It is important for the service to be available on all devices, including the desktop computer.
- There is no need to use platform-specific features
- MVP is ready and released to the market. We continue to work on new features, integrate them into the product and promote it
Automate business processes
We help automate business processes, which simplifies and speeds up data collection. The data can then be used to create a BI or recommendation system
Rely on analytics and user experience
Use in-depth analysis and integration of user data to improve productivity and decision making
Use a flexible development framework
Test hypotheses and develop MVPs in 2-3 months. This ensures that viable solutions reach users much faster
Give your business processes to bots and scripts
In today’s world, business processes change and evolve very quickly, even in spite of the sincere traditionalism of some executives. Take remote working, for example. A few years ago, most managers did not want to hear about it. But now Facebook allows employees to work remotely full-time, and Twitter has allowed them to work from home “forever” if they want to. Obviously, this trend is becoming a sure part of our lives.
The same is happening with the automation and digitalization of routine administrative processes. Yes, there are still managers who would prefer any “digital” to good old-fashioned printed documents.
But technological possibilities have accelerated the abandonment of the material form of accompanying activity, and automation has taken its full place in the successful conduct of business.
What’s so great about it? Let’s get to the bottom of it.
Increases the efficiency of employees
The main reason for automating business processes – no, not money (about them later), but increasing the efficiency of each employee.
Today hiring professionals in IT-sector is a very difficult task, especially in the highly competitive environment of the field. Good professionals are worth their weight in gold. It’s important to find them, and not to let them go at any cost.
And if you fill them with unnecessary paperwork, they can simply leave. And there is no point in it. After all, the work of such specialists costs a few thousand rubles per hour. At the same time, if he spends dozens of hours a month filling out paperwork, you really lose money.
Saves money
It’s simple. By reducing time spent on routine processes, and increasing the motivation and efficiency of each employee, you will naturally reduce labor costs. Everyone will become more productive, and there will be no need for employees “pushing paperwork from place to place.”
In addition, the lack of paperwork will help take real care of team members – sure, no one likes putting a bunch of signatures. It also creates a good corporate culture and even reduces employee turnover.
Increase the efficiency of data analytics
Once you set common reporting templates, you will receive data in a uniform form every time. This greatly simplifies the process of comparing, analyzing and downloading information.
This, in turn, will not only increase the efficiency of analytics but also reduce the amount of time you spend on generating reports.
A great example of improving the efficiency of analytics is the automatic generation of management reporting and the company’s budget.
How did we form the budget? Payments and requests for payment were collected. Manually entered into a table with conditional “plus” (income) and “minus” (expenses), allocated for some time ahead. The result was a budget. The company understood how much money would come in and how much would go out. And there was a huge amount of manual labor involved.
Can it be automated? Of course! Let us explain by the example of contracts.
There is a signed agreement. It immediately enters into two databases in Airtable: stages of work with contracts and payment database.
To illustrate the example, we need a second database. It contains data on payments that have passed or are about to pass on all currently signed contracts. This allows you to automatically pull this data into the budget. So half of the budget is ready.
Allows you to take care of your
Automation is becoming a successful tool for developing a corporate culture.
Take internal communications, for example. Birthday greetings, company anniversaries – usually a specially trained person writes them in a general chat room. But he can also be on vacation, on a difficult project, not a resource, as it is fashionable to say nowadays. He can just forget, finally.
