Custom software

Custom software or off the shelf?

If you have looked high and low for software that matches your business, you are probably considering something custom-built. Even so, we always encourage clients to consider off-the-shelf options first. So The Computing Australia Group can help you find a suitable product, or build bespoke software when nothing fits.

  • Fits your processes

    To begin with, custom software is shaped around the way your business already works.

  • Works with your systems

    It also connects with the tools you use, rather than adding another silo.

  • Fills the gaps

    As a result, it handles the challenges that off-the-shelf software can’t.

Good software takes time. Before you commit, ask whether your business has the time and people to help shape a mature solution. That question is often the elephant in the room.

Pre-coded modules

There’s a module for that

The good news is that our software development for Perth businesses rarely starts from zero. Instead, we use our library of pre-coded modules to speed up development and keep costs down. Then we tailor each one to your requirements.

  • User management

    For example, logins, roles and permissions for your staff and clients.

  • Client CRM

    Similarly, keep client details, history and activity in one place.

  • Inventory control

    Likewise, track stock and movements across your business.

  • Financial reporting

    In addition, get the reports you need from your own data.

Reworked to fit: no two businesses are the same, so our developers adjust each module to your workflows and connect it with your existing systems. That way, you get the efficiency of modules with the fit of custom development.

Not sure whether to build or buy?

First, tell us what you need the software to do. Then our Perth software development team will explain your options in plain language.

FAQs

Software development in Perth: common questions

Can’t see your question? Ask our team.

About custom software

Should we build custom software or buy off the shelf?

Before any software development in Perth or elsewhere, it usually makes sense to look at off-the-shelf software first, and we always encourage clients to do so. However, if nothing on the market fits the way you work, custom software can fill the gap.

How long does custom software take?

It depends on what the software needs to do. Good software takes time, so the needs analysis and specification set out the stages before any coding starts.

What is a needs analysis?

A needs analysis, often called a business process analysis, maps your key requirements and workflows. As a result, both sides are clear on what will be built before work begins.

What does Agile development mean for us?

Agile means we release working versions of your software as it develops. So you can start using it early, give feedback and adjust priorities along the way.

Working with CAG

Do you build everything from scratch?

Rarely. Instead, we start from our library of pre-coded modules, such as user management and client CRM, and then rework each one to fit your business.

Will the software work with our existing systems?

We design each module to integrate with the systems you already use. Therefore integration is planned in the needs analysis, not left until the end.

Can you build web and mobile apps?

Yes. We build web apps that work on phones, tablets and computers. We don’t build native iOS or Android apps, though, so we’ll tell you if that is what you need.

What happens after the software goes live?

Our software development services in Perth also include testing and maintenance, so we can keep your software up to date as your business changes.
