Building custom software for your teams
Your business does not always fit the features of an off-the-shelf tool. We design custom business software and web applications suited to how you work, from defining needs to testing and go-live.
Starting from real work
A tool designed around how you work
We review your tools, the repetitive tasks and the information that moves between teams. Custom software development becomes relevant when an existing tool does not cover your business rules or forces too much re-entry. We map a complete journey with its users, for example from creating a file to approving it, to define the features needed and keep what already works.
Business software
Centralize tracking of an activity, organize approvals and give each team the information it needs. We define the business rules with the people who will use the tool.
Applications and client portals
Viewing a file, sending documents or tracking a request: we design the screens and access rights around the journeys of your clients, partners and employees.
Simulators and integrations
We develop calculations suited to your business and the exchanges with your existing software, when their interfaces allow it. Errors and data recovery are planned from the design stage.
A custom simulator for Astuce Crédit
For this Belgian loan broker, AVANGARDISM developed a custom loan simulator. This case study illustrates a concrete need: turning business rules into a journey people can use on the web.
From needs to go-live
How do we develop your software?
- 01
Define the scope
We describe the users, business rules and connections needed. You approve the priorities, deliverables and budget before development.
- 02
Design the user journeys
Our designers prepare the screens and prototypes in Figma. Your teams check the main uses before integration.
- 03
Develop in stages
We develop the priority features and present working versions in a separate environment. Each demo follows the scenarios defined during scoping. Your feedback lets us correct gaps; new requests are assessed for their impact on budget and schedule before being added.
- 04
Test with your teams
We check calculation rules, access rights and data exchanges. You test situations representative of your business before approval.
- 05
Go live and support
We prepare data migration, documentation and onboarding. Monitoring, backups and further changes are organized according to the agreement defined with you.
Already have a tool?
We start by reviewing what exists to determine what can evolve and what needs to be rebuilt.
Let's discuss your needsGo-live and what comes next
Planning the software's life after launch
Business software must be able to evolve after launch. Delivery includes the access, source code and documentation defined in the contract, as well as onboarding for your teams. We specify who handles hosting, backups, maintenance and support. Fixes and new features are kept separate to organize the work and its budget.
- Access rights suited to roles and the data handled.
- Data migration prepared and verified before the switchover.
- Testing of priority journeys and calculations.
- A roadmap of changes shaped by user feedback.
Got a question?
Your questions about custom software development
We compare the options during scoping: available features, integrations, usage constraints and maintenance cost. Adapting an existing tool may be enough. Custom development is justified when your business needs are not adequately covered.
