Why coding is the last and least important part of custom software solutions

When people think of software development, they often picture developers typing out lines of code. The truth is, coding is the last and least important part of creating custom software solutions for small businesses.

At our company, we have replaced much of the repetitive coding process with AI. But the most important part of building custom software is understanding your business, your processes, your needs, and your pain points.

Understanding your business comes first

Every small business is different. Off-the-shelf software rarely fits exactly what you need. That is why we focus on truly understanding how your business works. We take the time to learn your goals, your challenges, and what will make the biggest impact.

This discovery phase is where the real value lies. We cannot design the right solution for you without a clear understanding of your business.

Our process: from discovery to development

Our process begins with a brief meeting to gather basic information about what you are looking for and how we can help. This is just the start. After some initial preparation, we schedule a more in-depth meeting where we dive into the specifics of your business. We focus on your unique challenges and opportunities to make sure we truly understand what is needed.

Once we have a solid grasp of your business, we present a proposed solution. If needed, we prepare a Proof of Concept (POC) to make sure we are on the right track. If the solution is clear and everyone is aligned, we move into the design and architecture phase. We architect the solution in a way that ensures all parts work together seamlessly and will scale with your business.

Only when everything clicks and the solution is fully defined do we move into the development phase. This is when we start writing the code, but by then, it is just the final step.

Designing the right solution

Once we understand your business, we move on to the design phase. We architect a solution that fits your needs, helps you work more efficiently, and sets you up for future growth. We look for opportunities to automate where it makes sense and integrate with the tools you already use.

Only after we have mapped everything out do we start coding. Even then, we do not start from scratch.

Our platform makes development faster

We use Effortless.One is our platform, which speeds up the development process. It is built with reusable components that we customize to fit your needs. AI helps us automate much of the repetitive coding work, so we can focus on what matters: delivering a solution that works for you.
