When your software no longer works for you, who do you call? You call the Pros at Proleadsoft!
For over a decade, Proleadsoft has answered the call of our clients to create customized software solutions various business needs. In the heart of the world’s technology capital San Francisco, custom software developers must always be on top of their game.
Proleadsoft works hand in hand with you to achieve your business goals!
Many companies in their early stages rely on standard off the shelf software products to handle their business needs. But as they begin to scale and grow, they quickly find themselves constrained by the software they use.
Other organizations require software that fulfills a specific business need that no other available software does.
Whether you fit into category A or B, or sit somewhere else entirely, a custom software developer like Proleadsoft can meet your unique needs and deliver you a competitive advantage.
Off the shelf software generally struggles with customization and flexibility which restricts business growth. Custom software is built for scalability and flexibility as needs change.
Integrating multiple software platforms can create data silos, which negatively impact data analysis and reporting. Custom software seamlessly integrates systems for unified access.
Third party platforms leave you little control over your own data. With custom software, you take back control and minimize security risks and data related breaches.
Fees for 3rd party software escalate significantly as your company grows. By investing in custom software, your long term costs can be significantly reduced to increase ROI!
Custom software development allows you to monetize your expertise by developing revenue generating SaaS products which are tailored to specific industry requirements.
As one of the leading custom software development companies in San Francisco, Proleadsoft follows a proven 5 step process to deliver software solutions that meet and exceed the needs of our clients.
Here’s how we do it.
The goal of software development is to solve a particular problem. So for us, it is essential that we start the development process by working closely with our clients to define the requirements for a successful project.
To begin, we use a series of tools to help us define the scope of the project. These tools include:
A BRD is like a manual for the success of the project, helping to clearly state the problems that must be solved and establish a framework for getting things done. The BRD also identifies the stakeholders, team members and their roles who will be responsible for the project.
User stories are created to guide development and keep the focus on what the users of the software ultimately need.
Once we have a strong foundation for the project in place, we begin to formulate the actual design of the product. This step is accomplished in four parts:
Wireframes allow us to brainstorm layouts without spending time at this early stage worrying about the visuals. Developers can quickly gather feedback about form and function, and even allow for rapid testing of a prototype.
Serve as a visual depiction of the steps a user would need to take to accomplish a task. This helps to eliminate unnecessary steps and reduce the cognitive load on users.
Once the fundamental groundwork has been laid, we can begin focusing on the visual design elements. This is where we add your branding, logos, colors, fonts and other images to the software.
With the major design decisions made, we begin the process of creating the code that runs the actual software.
We use automated unit testing to break down code into the smallest units possible, independently testing them beginning early in the cycle. This automated process helps catch errors early and increases efficiency.
Databases are essential to any piece of software. They allow for information to be stored and recalled whenever it is needed. Strong database development is essential for software to run smoothly and protect sensitive information.
This part of the process encodes all the visual elements that users see in a piece of software. We also ensure that your software is responsive and looks good on various devices.
This is where the nuts and bolts of software come together. Backend development brings data processing (CRUD, APIs), server interactions and other technical aspects of the software together into a final product.
To ensure each piece of software we build meets your business goals and is fully functional, we employ a range of testing techniques throuhgout the custom software development process.
We conduct unit tests on small, individual code components throughout the development cycle. Using testing frameworks such as JEST, we’re able to automate this testing, helping us to catch errors throughout the process and keep the code clean.
We run each software through manual testing to test usability, function and performance. Based on the software needs, we test on different operating systems, devices and browsers to ensure everything in the software works as it should.
Proleadsoft runs extensive securing testing for software products. This could include techniques such as penetration testing to simulate attacks, vulnerability tests to check for known flaws, and security audits to ensure the overall security level.
After making any changes to the software, we run a quick sanity test to confirm that the change did not break any of the software’s core functionality.
Beta testing is used to have real people test the software in a real world environment. This type of testing allows us to gather feedback on usability and performance, to ensure a great user experience.
We’re nearly at the end of the software development cycle, but there are a few more steps to ensure a successful launch.
Proleadsoft makes sure that there are sufficient security protocols, data encryption, authentication/authorization mechanisms and other security measures in place before going live.
If your custom software is an app for public usage, we’ll make sure it gets published accordingly. For software to be used internally, we keep it hidden from the public. We’ll ensure that your infrastructure is set up properly, and if needed we will assist with migrating data from old software to your new custom software solution.
We fully support our clients with complete software maintenance, framework upgrades, server upgrades, bug fixes, security updates and more to keep your custom software running in tip-top fashion. We offer on-going support and maintenance plans to help you handle any technical issues that may arise.
For over a decade, Proleadsoft has been helping clients of all kinds with their custom software development in San Francisco and nationwide. No matter where your business is, you can count on Proleadsoft to create software that not only meets your business needs, but exceeds them.
We’ve worked with clients nationwide in a diverse set of industries including healthcare, law, retail, and hospitality. Here are a few examples of the work we’ve done for our satisfied clients!
Problem: A public healthcare company came to Proleadsoft to solve a need for tracking patient compliance during clinical trials for a new drug. Off-the-shelf software did not meet their needs.
Solution: Proleadsoft built a custom healhcare software which tracks pills inside the human body, allowing the software to track patient compliance.
Results: Mobile based patient app was delivered successfully, along with web app for admins, physicians and CROs. The client is in talks with the FDA for approval of their drug. The client is able to license the app to other oral drug discovery firms.
“I lead a medical technology company in Silicon Valley, developing new therapies for a number of chronic diseases. We needed to develop a mobile app for use by patients and a web application for use by physicians. The mobile app had to communicate via Bluetooth with our product and collect information. The system was also linked to a database and is able to generate a number of reports. So, in short, this was a complex project. The team that Proleadsoft put together was very capable with expertise in multiple disciplines. The project was well planned and well documented and was executed with attention to detail. We are very pleased with the quality of Proleadsoft's work and we will definitely work with them in the future. I recommend them without reservation.”
- Mir Imran, Executive Chairman, Rani Therapeutics (NASDAQ: RANI)
Problem: Business leaders need innovative solutions to resolve workforce productivity issues. Our client initially had a manual way of addressing this, but sought a new way to improve deliverability.
Solution: Proleadsoft built custom web based software to digitize the manual process, and allow managers, administrators, and coaches to track performance of their employees and clients. The new system empowers the organization to help employees discover their unique strengths and maximize their potential.
Results: The product was successfully launched.
“Imran and his team at Proleadsoft have built for us an innovative talent management platform that has received tremendous positive feedback by the market for its overall user experience, insights and application. We couldn't have realized this success without the tireless, ongoing professionalism, expert guidance, communication, coordination and engineering chops that Proleadsoft brings to the table. I view Proleadsoft as an intimate extension of our team and core to our business efforts.
