Software Development Services Chicago, St. Charles, and beyond

Suppose you have an idea, a better way of doing things, a vision of what your company could do to reduce cost, innovate, or provide a service to your customers (or soon-to-be customers). In that case, Wayne Point is your local Chicago area-based software development services company.

No matter what size of company we have worked with them all, from a solopreneur with an idea for an app, to Fortune 20 companies needing an Enterprise level solution. We can provide the Goldilocks version where everything is “just right” based on your requirements and budget. We offer top-notch software development services that utilize the latest technology, the most secure, and most appropriate solution for your business.

Custom Software Solutions from Major to Minor

If you have an idea for a way to better your business using a custom business software solution but don’t have a development team on staff we can take on the entire project from start to finish and build you exactly what you are looking for. In some cases you might not need a full custom software solution, but just some specific work on a section of your business. We can provide both types of software development services from total software creation to working as consultants to help with a portion of your project such as database management, software architecture, project management, and general software development.

Some examples of software development solutions we can build:

• iPhone/Android Software
• Web Apps (CRM’s, Paper Automation, Inventory Management, Maintenance Management, Goal Tracking, Manual process automation)
• Desktop Software
• API’s (integrate two software solutions into one)
• Chrome Extensions

Turnkey Custom Software Solutions

You come to us with an idea, plan, or a goal, and we provide our full suite of software development services so that you can run your business and we can create the software. You will leverage our software development companies experience so we will pick the most appropriate technology, database design, security setup, architecture, etc. Of course we are open to any input you have, if you want the software to be built using Java, Dart, C#, using MySQL, NoSQL,  etc we can do that. At a high level, we do our thing, you do your thing, and you get a great product at the end that accomplishes your goals.

Custom Software Development Services Steps

1. Discovery meeting or call

Contact Us to setup a 30 – 90 minute meeting to discuss what you are looking to accomplish with your custom software solution

2. Quote Provided

If the project is pretty straightforward and there is no need for additional meetings or further details to be provided we provide a quote. You will receive a quote that lays out the timelines, and cost breakdown for our software development company to provide your custom software solution. This quote includes a list of all your requirements that lays out what will be part of the project.

3. Milestones Provided

Once the quote is approved next we will document in more detail all the requirements of the project. This will give you a road map of how the milestones will be completed and in what order.

4. Mock-ups

Once the quote is approved, screen or workflow (if there are no screens) mock-ups will provided. We always find that a picture is worth a thousand words. There is no better way for our software development company to ensure we are providing the right solution than using screen/workflow mock-ups. We will go over those mock-ups iteratively and make the necessary changes before we move on to the actual architecting and development of your custom software

5. Coding!

Once the screens and navigation of the custom software have been provided then we begin coding the application.
Working Demo – Our goal is to always show you what we have been working on. Therefore as soon as possible we will provide a working demo. This demo, at first, will just be for a portion of the application so that you can see the real working functionality, suggest changes, approve it, and then move on to the next milestone, once completed provide another working demo, etc

6. Compliance / Setup / Acceptance

Based on the type of software this might require some additional steps. In the case of building a custom Apple or custom Android application one must adhere to the Apple App Store Guidelines and the Google Play Store steps and complete all of their compliance requirements. Perhaps you have a medical app that requires SOC compliance and HIPPA compliance, we will work with those agencies to get your app across the finish line.

7. App Launch

After several working demos have been provided and the final working demo has been approved we are ready to launch your custom business software.

Ala Cart Software Development Services

If you aren’t looking for a full turn-key solution but just a software development company to work on something specific we can provide that too. Here are some examples:

Database Design / Management

This would include such things as Designing and implementing data structures, creating and maintaining database tables, schemas, stored procedures, and triggers. We also can provide database normalization/denormalization and data imports/exports/backups or migrations to new systems.

System Integrations / API’s

If you already have worked with a software development company that built your custom software, or if you are using off-the-shelf software we can integrate your despite systems and have them talk to each other via integrations such as a custom API creation. Then you can share data, share functionality, and automate system processes.

Software Development

If you are just looking for a small script to be created, or have someone work on a section of an existing software solution, we are experts in providing those types of software development services. It doesn’t matter what the language, we can work with them all including Java, PHP, Flutter, Dart, SQL, JavaScript, CSS, HTML, and various other language.
