Custom Software Development
Software Designers' expert team can develop custom built software to your exact
requirements. We have successfully developed software for a broad range of clients
from simple programs for a single computer to complex network software for hundreds of users.
Custom application development can:
• Optimise your standard business processes through the most appropriate application
of information technology
• Maintain consistent and reliable business data
• Assist with decision making (ever spent more than 2-3 minutes using hand-held calculator
to make business decision? Or used an Excel spreadsheet full of complicated but
limited formulas?)
• Enforce business process rules and procedures
• Accelerate data processing
• Track with ease what's really happening in your business
A custom built computer system can deliver all these benefits - for basic applications
a single computer and a printer are all that's required.
Importantly, your business retains the intellectual property (IP) in most cases.
The majority of software we develop belongs to the customer who has commissioned
it - meaning you receive full copyright to the software and source code. More questions?

Data is at the heart of all business software. Our team designs and deploys Microsoft
databases (SQL Server and Microsoft Access) to manage the data utilised within any
custom software. We ensure that the correct database and version is selected for
the specific needs of the commissioned software.
We also undertake the design and development of databases, develop customised reports
for these databases, and applications such as Microsoft Office products, through
Crystal Reports, build websites and develop automation for routine Microsoft tasks.
We have been designing and developing applications for Microsoft Windows since the beginning.
This ensures a strong level of familiarity and expertise in programming for Windows
- whatever the version your business is using - from the earliest versions to Windows XP/Vista/2003.
To utilise any program, reporting is often employed to make sense of raw data. Our
team can develop reports customized to your requirements - summarizing and representing
data in any form.
Crystal Reports, or SQL Server Reporting Services, are used as our reporting 'tools
of choice' as they seamlessly integrate with most software and enable reports to
be exported into a range of formats including Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Adobe
Acrobat (pdf), plain text (txt) and csv.
Software Designers also develops websites and applications using HTML, CSS, JavaScript,
XML, ASP, .NET and other web technologies.
Often, many tasks undertaken on a regular basis are repetitive and tedious. Our
team can develop custom programs for the entire Microsoft Office suite to automate
these activities to increase your staff productivity and decrease manual or introduced
errors.
Data extraction and conversion from one system into another.
Documentation - manuals, training notes and quick reference guides.
Report development - mailing lists, letters, catalogues, plus a range of extracted
data that can be loaded into Excel, Acrobat, Word, email and other formats.
Automated processes - data loading, transformation or extraction, data compression,
automated emails and condition based activities.
Interfaces into other systems.
