Benefits of enterprise software development
Enhanced productivity
By implementing enterprise software solutions, companies see an increase in productivity and satisfaction among their employees. Automation functionalities such as data visualizations updating in real-time or reconciling different areas of business are just two examples of many potential features we can build for you. By carrying out processes without the need for any human intervention, employees can focus on mission-critical tasks.
Actionable insights from data
Many enterprise solutions include custom reporting or data visualizations to help businesses run useful analyses and get insights from their data. You can now equip your employees with charts, graphs, and documents that include information about the most important KPIs in your business. Enterprise software also helps to identify bottlenecks in your workflows and track the data behind important business processes.
Increased customer loyalty
Managing customer relationships is an essential part of any successful business. While attracting new customers is important, customer retention leads to significant revenue increases. That's why it's critical to keep your current customers happy. Enterprise software is a great solution for boosting customer retention rates for large organizations with multiple and international customer segments.
Security and compliance
Enterprise solutions follow industry best practices and standards in terms of data protection and security. Since enterprise software development focuses so much on data-driven solutions, it's only natural to consider data as an important asset. That's why you can be sure that enterprise-grade software will keep your business and customer data safe and help you in the process of achieving compliance.
Revenue boost
Enterprise software solutions are built to help businesses take their operations to the next level and increase their revenue. For example, business intelligence tools assist companies in identifying areas for improvement, setting competitive pricing, running processes faster, and ultimately generating more revenue.
No more errors
Errors and mistakes caused by manual data entry reduce the productivity of your employees and require them to spend a lot of valuable time on cleaning up the system. Enterprise solutions remove this risk by automating the acquisition and movement of data. That's why the chances that duplicate entries or typos become part of your system are much lower.

Emerging technologies for enterprise solutions
Artificial intelligence (AI)
AI is at the forefront of enterprise software development today for many reasons. Enterprises use artificial intelligence algorithms such as machine learning or deep learning to automate their processes and gain insights from big data. This is how they can support their decision-making processes and discover new opportunities.
Internet of Things (IoT)
Enterprises use IoT devices to monitor their operations in a well-designed and secure infrastructure on a continuous basis, especially in contexts like manufacturing and supply chain. The devices and sensors generate a massive amount of data that, once processed and analyzed, helps to streamline these operations, gain spot-on insights, and improve decision-making processes.
Blockchain
Another common technology among enterprise software solutions is blockchain. Storing sensitive data on a private blockchain guarantees their top security and traceability in case any changes are applied by your employees. We are blockchain experts who can help you automate key operations with smart contracts or can create an efficient blockchain-based marketplace. Start with a small blockchain Proof of Concept project to see its value for your business and take it to the next level once you’re ready; we will help you at every step of the way.
Cloud computing
Our expertise in managing and configuring cloud solutions from diverse providers allows us to build environments that are flexible, scalable, and well-connected. Our experience in enterprise application development benefits a lot from the knowledge of the available cloud services and approaches like containerization with Docker and Kubernetes. This is what helps us seamlessly move any workload, application, or data into the cloud.
Big data
We help enterprises leverage the massive volumes of data they generate by creating scalable solutions that transform it into valuable business intelligence. Our goal is building tools that offer a reliable way to analyze data and visualize it easily. This is how your employees and key decision-makers can deepen their understanding of anything from your production processes and customer behavior to market trends.
Enterprise software solutions
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
ERP solutions allow managing various processes related to accounting, inventory, and supply chain. The benefit is that you get to do it all in one centralized location. ERP systems also help to automate workflows and share data easily. Such tools have always been popular among enterprises - and since the technologies became more accessible, many small and midsize businesses are using ERP tools as well. Don't let your organization stay behind this trend and equip your employees with an ERP solution that offers features such as supply chain management, financial management, distribution, and shipping, or customer relationship management.
Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
Building a meaningful relationship with customers is the goal of every company, be it a small startup or a large enterprise. CRM solutions allow us to cultivate such relationships, support clients at every step of the way and increase customer retention. They assist enterprises in creating closer relationships with their customer bases and personalize their sales tactics that translate into increases in revenue. Some of the most common features found in CRM solutions are client management, client interaction tracking, sales automation, content management, marketing campaign management, and database management.
Accounting Software
Enterprise accounting solutions include a wide range of financial management tools that allow streamlining the process of completing transactions and then processing information about them to gain new insights. When carrying out financial operations, enterprises struggle to consolidate data from different projects, departments, or branches. This is where a centralized accounting solution comes in handy, including features such as accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger, project accounting, payroll, budgeting, and fixed assets.
Enterprise Asset Management (EAM)
EAM solutions allow organizations to bring together data about their physical assets with the ability to manage their lifecycles efficiently. The idea is building a system that maximizes the lifespan of assets and helps companies boost their revenue. Enterprise asset management software usually comes with features such as inventory management, asset lifecycle management, maintenance management, vehicle maintenance, materials management, and work orders.
Business Intelligence (BI)
Business Intelligence solutions help to generate actionable insights from data quickly and in a form that is accessible to everyone, not only data scientists or business analysts. BI tools use data streams from departments such as marketing, sales, or manufacturing to identify areas for improvement. They come with robust visualization capabilities, customizable dashboards, and reporting features. Data analytics, visualization, document management, online analytical processing, and data integration are just some examples of the many features such BI systems include.
Supply Chain Management (SCM)
Supply chain management solutions allow tracking and facilitating the production process from the moment of receiving an order until the package arrives on the customer's doorstep. Such tools help to bring better control over operations such as manufacturing management, sales order management, distribution management, and many others. They offer companies with supply chain monitoring, planning, and analytics features, as well as transportation or logistics management, to improve their supply chains at every step of the way.
Product Design Lifecycle
Product Design Lifecycle solutions help enterprises to render the product design lifecycle as smooth and productive as possible. They offer a centralized location for employees to see and track all of the designs and make changes that are reflected throughout the entire product lifecycle. Such solutions include features such as document management, configuration management, regulatory compliance, as well as project management.
Building an enterprise solution – our process
How are we developing an enterprise solutions?
Let’s check our step by step process.
Step 1: Gathering requirements
Contact us and let us know more about your project. If you have already worked out the details and have a specification document, attach it to help us understand your idea better. We will reach out to you within one business day and share some initial ideas for your solution and answers to any questions you may have asked us.
This is just the beginning. To understand your needs better, we usually schedule a face-to-face meeting. In our experience, it offers the best opportunity to brainstorm ideas and ask all the key questions. If a face-to-face meeting is impossible, we can talk with you over any video-conferencing tool your use.
Step 2: Expert consultation and discovery workshop
During the first meeting with us, our expert will ask you some further questions about your project to help us understand your objectives. During the meeting, you will be talking to a person with many years of experience in building enterprise solutions. That is why they can answer more technical questions in a typical business consultant.
If you’re already have any materials such as product specifications, UX/UI designs, wireframes, or any other documents, please make sure to send them to us before the meeting.
Step 3: Project estimation
Once we get all of the important information about your product, our team is going to prepare the initial estimation. The estimation will list features separately, together with the estimated number of hours each of them will take us to create. We then multiply the sum of the required work hours by our hourly rate and show you the final result.
Expect to receive more than one version of the estimation. In the other versions, we will share the cost of building your application with some extra features that we thought could be beneficial to your project. The estimation service is free of charge.
Step 4: UX design
If you decide to collaborate with us, the first step will be preparing the UX design of your solution in the form of wireframes. By taking this step, we ensure that your project is kept within the set budget because we can identify potential shortcomings and address issues before the development phase starts. This helps to solve mistakes at a much lower cost than addressing issues in an app under development. Once the final version of the wireframes is accepted, our team will move on to prepare the UI design of your solution.
Step 5: UI design
Now that we know the flow of your application, we can confidently express it in the user interface (UI) design. Our skilled designers will get down to work and quickly create a design on the basis of your requirements, input from UX designers, as well as their professional experience in enterprise solution development. Once you accept the design, they will create the initial screens of your application to reflect the user flow and your unique requirements.
Step 6: Development
This is when our development team starts coding. We usually follow the agile methodology of software development and, in particular, the Scrum framework. We divide projects into short iterations that last 1.5 or 2 weeks. After each phase, we deliver a demo of the app to you. This offers an opportunity to test the functionality, click through the app, and give us your feedback.
If you’re satisfied with the results of our work, we will send you the bill and then continue working on the next iteration. Throughout the project, expect to receive up-to-date code stored in our repository at all times. We also deliver a report that covers all of the changes applied to the project on a regular basis.

FAQ
Any questions about enterprise software development?
Let’s check our FAQ or feel free to contact us!
1. What is enterprise software?
Enterprise software solutions are special business programs used by enterprises. But what exactly are enterprises? In short, enterprises are usually companies that are very large and have international operations.
Why do they need a special type of software? Businesses of such size and scale of operations have unique needs, and that is why we can differentiate their software requirements from those of small and mid-sized businesses.
Enterprises can choose from a wide range of software solutions available on the market out-of-the-box. However, to achieve the best results, they often turn to custom software development. Only a tailormade solution can address the unique requirements of an enterprise, automate workflows successfully, and increase the productivity of employees.
Moreover, custom software development also means that the solution can be changed and scaled in accordance with the evolving needs of the organization. By investing in out-of-the-box software, many organizations end up with a vast collection of features they don’t actually need but are still paying for them.
2. How does enterprise software differ from other solutions?
Many software solutions available on the market today aren’t a good fit for enterprises. That’s because they’re usually aimed at smaller businesses and teams – sometimes even individuals. Their scope and functionality are different and much more limited than the broad feature range of software built for enterprises.
Since enterprises are made of many moving pieces, departments, and teams, they need powerful and dynamic software solutions that match strict requirements.
3. How to choose an enterprise software development company?
There are thousands of custom software development companies on the market, but the services they look deliver are not of the same quality. That’s why selecting the right agency can have such an impact on the project. To carry out successful projects, enterprises often enter into technology partnerships with companies that deliver excellent software, maintain it, and then scale it as the enterprise changes.
If you would like to find a software development company that does exactly that for you, here are a few tips to help you do that.
- Start with getting referrals from other people – Talk to people in your network and get referrals for custom software development companies that helped them solve problems or achieve business goals. This helps to fast-track the process of selecting the best development teams but also allows gathering some honest feedback about those companies.
- Check the company’s portfolio – Take a look at the case studies presented on the company’s website or reach out to the company and ask for a portfolio of projects. This will give you an idea about the type of enterprise solutions the company has experience in building. For starters, it’s best to team up with a team that has experience in building software for enterprises. A company without that experience isn’t a good match. If you see an excellent track record of digital products delivered on time and within budget, consider it a good sign. It’s essential that the company you choose has a tried and tested methodology for successful project completion – and that’s something you can see directly in the case studies.
- Clarify the application ownership – Custom software should be owned by the company that pays for it. However, cases of ownership conflict still happen between software development companies and business owners. To avoid that, make sure that the contract clearly states the ownership and is in compliance with the loss of local legislation.
- Pay attention to user experience – It doesn’t matter whether you’re building an enterprise solution for your customers or employees. You still want to deliver an excellent user experience because it translates into increased customer loyalty or makes your employees more productive. That’s why it’s a great idea to take a closer look at the company’s portfolio to understand whether it has a strong UX/UI design team that complements the efforts of the development team in building accessible and functional applications.
- Consider the questions of security and privacy – Data security and privacy are essential issues in every enterprise solution. Does your application process, store, or collect sensitive data such as proprietary business information or information about your customers? What are the measures in place that ensure that the software works correctly? Make sure that the software development agency you choose knows how to work with high-security systems. That way, you can be certain that the experts will implement the essential steps to protect your data.
- Clarify the after-development support – Most of the time, custom enterprise solutions require active maintenance and are often changed in line with the changing demands of the enterprise. Software development companies that specialize in enterprise software development usually offer after-development and support services. To be on the safe side, Make sure that the company also provides software configuration, customization, maintenance, and backup services.
4. How does digital transformation impact customer experience in the automotive industry?
Connectivity
Many drivers want access to music, social media, and other applications while driving. They don’t want to be limited in any way. To address this need, vehicle manufacturers build cars that offer drivers the ability to carry on with their business and keep up with their social lives while driving. How’s that possible? Most of the time, they use voice commands and conversational interfaces to ensure that drivers can perform many different tasks while they’re busy driving.
Predictive maintenance
The Internet of Things offers automotive companies with amazing opportunities such as predicting vehicle failure in advance and improvement of maintenance time. Thanks to innovative technologies, companies can collect data on vehicle performance, upload it to the cloud automatically, and then analyze it to calculate the risk for the potential failure of the vehicle’s hardware or software.
After processing of the data, they can even decide whether the vehicle requires any maintenance service to avoid incidents or accidents. Predictive maintenance technology eliminates the need for guesswork and delivers an excellent service to customers.
Digital transformation in the purchasing process
Automotive companies are increasingly relying on non-traditional ways of presenting their offering. The process of purchasing a car can be quite stressful, so companies do everything they can to inform buyers and reduce that pressure. Thanks to modern digital technologies, it’s possible to easily research preferred cars before visiting a dealership. Most of the time, that dealership also doesn’t have all the models on display and instead uses video screens or self-service kiosks to show all the key information to customers and help them make a final decision.
