Bespoke Business Software

Software designed around your workflow, not the other way round.

When standard packages force awkward compromises, bespoke software can turn the way your organisation really works into a dependable application.

IT Partnership has been developing bespoke business applications since 1988. The industries and technology have changed, but the reason for commissioning bespoke software has not: sometimes the business requirement is too specialised, too integrated or too important to be squeezed into an off-the-shelf package.

Built around the job to be done

We start by understanding the process, the information people need and the points where time is being lost. The resulting system should simplify the work, not merely computerise an inefficient process.

  • Order processing, purchasing and stock control
  • Job, workshop and service management
  • Administration, bookings and customer records
  • Management reporting and operational dashboards
  • Specialist workflows unique to a particular industry

A clear, low-risk development process

1. Understand

We discuss the existing process, constraints, users and desired outcome.

2. Define

We set out the proposed functions in plain language so there is a shared understanding before development moves too far.

3. Build and refine

Real users see working software and small practical changes can be incorporated as the system takes shape.

4. Support

Once a bespoke system becomes part of the business, continued support matters. We take that responsibility seriously.

Source code and maintainability

Our long-standing policy is to make source code available to the customer. That helps avoid unnecessary supplier lock-in and means the system remains maintainable in the future.
