London based bespoke website design services
There are literally thousands of off the shelf applications available on the market that can deal with all sorts of business processes however most won't fulfil your requirements completely. In addition costs can skyrocket and depending on the number of staff that are required to use it, can become incredibly costly.
With a wealth of experience, Swift Digital is able to offer its clients bespoke application development, a service that will look at the company's business needs and engineer a secure hosted web based application that will meet those needs. The result is a system that is tailored to your business's needs and accessible from any authorised user from anywhere. Our applications are hosted in UK based datacentres and use the latest in programming technologies. The benefit of having such a system is that as the business and its needs grows, so can your system, being a bespoke application tailored to your company and built from the ground up, additional functionality can be programmed in as required.
With a bespoke application, once it has been developed, has no additonal costs, no annual license renewals, and more importantly no restriction on the number of users that can use it.
Is bespoke application development better than off-the-shelf software?
In most cases having a bespoke application deveoped for your business is far better than purchasing a ready-made solution. Here are some of the main benefits:
- Customisation: With bespoke application development, the software is tailored to meet the specific needs of your business. This means that the application can be customised to fit the unique workflows and processes of your business, which can result in increased efficiency and productivity.
- Scalability: Bespoke applications are designed to scale as the business grows. This means that the sofwtare can handle increased workloads and functionality, whihc can result in cost savings in the long run.
- Integration: Bespoke applications can be desined to integrate seamlessly with exisiting software systems, which can result in improved data sharing and collaboration across the organisation.
- Competitive Advantage: Bespoke applcation development can provide a competitive advantage by enabling the business to differentiate itself from competitors. This is particularly true for businesses operating in niche markets where off-the-shelf software may not meet all of their unique needs.
- Support: With bespoke application development, businesses have access to dedicated support from the development company and its support team. This can include ongoing maintenance, updates and bug fixes, which can result in a more stable and reliable software system.
- Ownership: With off-the-shlef software, busineses are typically limited to the features and functionality provided by the vendor. With bespoke application development, businesses can customise it to meet their evolving needs over time.
Examples of bespoke application development projects
Over the past two decades Swift Digital and its in-house team of London based developers has designed, engineered and produced a number of bespoke applications. Below are a small sample of bespoke applications that we have produced.
Bespoke application development project for car accident management company
This application was developed to replace a manual and inefficient Excel spreadsheet based system that was being used. The spreadsheets were incredibly time consuming and were not easily finding and updated the information required.
The project that Swift Digital undertook was to design, engineer and develop a bespoke car accident management system for ASCS to incoporate their business processes fully with the aim of increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of their systems. The main features of this system include:
- Referrer management components
- Claims management
- Commissions management
- Comprehensive mangement reports
- Creation of commission invoices
- Creation of commission statements
- Secure hosting platform
- Full support of application
- 7 day a week backup
Bespoke application development project for counselling/therapy charity
This application was developed to replace an incredibly old and inefficient Microsoft Access database system. This previous system would keep the staff within the charity in a constant state of frustration as basic information such as patient and therpist information retrieval was almost impossible. There was absolutely no reporting which meant that the staff would have to copy and paste information in to a spreadsheet, and the database would frequently corrupt.
The task for Swift Digital was to design, engineer and develop a bespoke application that would in effect run the organisational side of the charity. Tasks such as patient management, therapist management, supervisions, and school logins were all included. The additional requirement for the system was to develop a suite of complex reports that could easily be filtered and run to provide instant information with charts and graphs where relevant. The main features of this system include:
- Patient management and waiting lists
- Session recording and management
- Therapist management
- Supervisor and supervision management
- Completion and storing of a range of patient forms
- Document management
- Full suite of tailored reports
- Full support of application
- 7 day a week backup
