SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT?
4:30am is a Solution Developer. Its what we do (and what we have done for more than 9 years).
In fact, to be more specific, we are a Web Application Developer. This is a fancy way of saying that we develop software that runs over the web.
Why would you want a Custom Solution?
Every business involves the collection, management and manipulation of data. Whether you are collecting your customers names and addresses in an address book or you are booking in stock to a warehouse using a stock management system.
Businesses use this data to help them run more efficiently, improve sales etc. etc.. In fact, there are thousands of ways in which different businesses collect and manipulate different data. We believe that using the web is one of the most efficient ways to streamline most of these processes for a business of any size.
Web Applications use the web browser that comes as standard with every PC (or Mac).
There are two main categories of Web Applications:
- Public facing
Examples: Theres thousands - everything from a simple form on a website that allows customers to submit their email address, through to an online discussion forum.
It is also worth noting that an Ecommerce site is one of the main examples of a public-facing web application.
- Internal Systems
These are for internal company use only and can be to do with any aspect of collecting/managing/manipulating data within an organisation. A few examples: A Warranty System that is used for booking in returned goods. Stock/Warehouse Management Systems. Order Processing Systems. Internal Message boards etc..
Look at the advantages of using a Web Application compared to more traditional 'off-the-shelf' software:
- Vastly reduced development costs for a completely bespoke system.
- Designed to work exactly how you need it to.
- Easy upgrade (i.e. adding new features)
- Accessible from anywhere yet completely secure.
- Uses open standards (i.e the Web!)
- Server based - therefore easy to maintain.
So, if you want to streamline your business consider using a Custom Solution. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
