WEB-BASED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

Our custom web-based / cloud software development services are valuable where your requirements are not well catered for by off-the-shelf software, or where you wish to create a unique market advantage. We also work closely with new software ventures to design, build and maintain their software products, freeing them up to focus on business development.

AUTOMATE BUSINESS PROCESSES TO GROW PROFITS

Automation is now essential to longer term profitability. Those who are early in the cycle of investing in automation end up more profitable than slower competitors, enabling them to invest further in leading their markets.

DELIVER GREAT CUSTOMER EXPERIENCES

Customer Experience (CX) is an increasingly key driver of buyer behavior, therefore the natural partner to automation is looking at how intuitive systems for staff and customers can not only make businesses more efficient but also deliver sector leading experiences.

KICKSTART NEW VENTURES

Ultimately the digital transformation journey often leads to exciting spin-off opportunities; new approaches to traditional business, fully digitized offerings or even the creation of software product start-ups based on the IP developed.

As the crown entity for sport throughout New Zealand Sport NZ also invests in the continuous development of governance practice within the boards it provides funding to. To assist with this we designed and built a cloud software application that boards use to run cyclical evaluations, reporting and collaborative improvement planning. Applicable has been running, maintaining and continuing to develop this software since 2012.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is cloud software?

The term ‘cloud’ is used in a number of ways, which can be confusing. In this case what we mean by ‘Cloud Software’ or ‘Cloud Application’ is software that runs on a server in an Internet connected data centre and is accessed via either a web browser or mobile apps. This distinguishes it from things like Windows software applications or mobile device apps themselves (which are downloaded onto the device and run locally on it).

How much will a cloud application cost?

This is extremely variable depending on your requirements; typically the lowest cost cloud applications are around $20,000 and they go upwards from there. Big factors include the amount of functionality in the cloud application, what integrations to other systems it does or doesn’t need and whether or not we need to build sysadmin tools for it as well.

Can an app integrate with our existing software?

The answer is almost always yes, it’s just a case of how easy or hard the integration is.

OUR PROCESS

Our software design and build processes aim to deliver the best mix of industry approaches that, in our experience, enable high quality software to be produced efficiently, and with lots of client feedback at each stage. To read more see our Software Development Agency process page.
