Custom Software Development

More often that not, businesses end up being forced to change the way they do business to work with the existing off the shelf software available.

Custom Software allows your business to operate as is, maintaining your unique qualities. Having applications developed to meet your business needs should enhance, not change your business. Furthermore, it should steamline and make your current workflows and operations more efficient.

Why consider Custom Software?

• You cannot find anything off the shelf for your business needs
• You wish to maintain your unique "way of doing business"
• You want to own the IP around your software.
• It is more cost effective (compared to ERP solutions).

The process is very simple. It all starts with a no-obligation consult to understand your business needs and where your current software is letting you down.

From there, a scoping document is creating outlining our understanding of your needs, and what the software will specifically achieve. Upon approval, the next step is "Rapid Prototyping".

Rapid Prototyping is where we get focus on the functionality and leave the look & feel (User interface) to last. The goal is to see and prove the software will achieve the desired outcomes with minimum time, effort and cost involved.

The final step is taking the "Rapid Prototyping" version, and completing the code. This is where we prepare the application(s) for real world production.

In most cases, the "Rapid Prototyping" version can be up and running in between 4-8 weeks.

Our default Software stack

• PhP Laravel
• Python Django
• HTML/CSS Front end
• Javascript/Java for on-screen interactivty
• MSSQL or MySQL as standard Databases. Other options available.

If you have your own Servers, the software can be hosted by you. Alternativey, ZIS hosts exclusively with Amazon Web Services (AWS) on their Sydney servers, where we can take care of everything for you.

Whilst the standard offering is usually developed for web browsers, we can also develop companion Mobile Applications if/as required. We find that Mobile Applications are becoming less useful due to the mobile-friendly web designs.
