Experts in custom software development
Are you looking for a solution that is 100% tailored to your business needs, without having to adapt to a standard tool? Custom software development is the answer. Unlike generic solutions, software designed specifically for you enables you to automate your processes, centralize your data and control your costs over the long term.
What is custom software development?
Custom software is an application developed specifically to meet your business needs. Unlike off-the-shelf solutions, it integrates perfectly with your environment, internal processes and technical constraints.
At Sigmalis, every project starts with a detailed understanding of your objectives. The result is a tool which fits your needs, scalable, without unnecessary functionalities, and with an interface designed with your users in mind. This approach helps you save time, avoid duplication and secure your data.
Steps in custom software development
Specifications
You define the broad outlines of your project: objectives, users, desired functionalities. We work with you to structure these elements in a clear specification that can be used by the developers. This document serves as a common basis, avoiding imprecision and facilitating arbitration.
It also includes technical constraints, deadlines and security requirements.
Development
Code is written by our engineers using agile methods. You receive regular test versions for feedback. We progress in iterations, prioritizing functionalities according to your real needs.
You retain full visibility of the progress and quality of the work delivered.
Go-live
The software is installed on your servers or in a cloud environment. We plan the commissioning with you to limit the impact on your business. Backups are provided, access is secured, and support is in place to assist your users.
In order to offer you a complete and adapted service, here is a detailed overview of our main IT development services:
Design
Our teams transform your requirements into detailed specifications. We design interface mock-ups, system architecture and data flows. You validate each step to ensure that the final solution matches your vision.
This phase provides a precise framework for future developments.
Acceptance
We test the software under conditions close to reality. You are involved in this phase to validate functionalities, report anomalies and make adjustments if necessary. Every scenario is checked to ensure smooth production start-up.
We provide clear documentation and training for your teams if necessary.
Maintenance and updates
Software lives with your company. We provide corrective, preventive and upgrade maintenance according to your needs. You have a dedicated contact, guaranteed responsiveness, and the possibility of upgrades to meet your changing priorities.
Your tool remains reliable, secure, and always aligned with your uses.
