PLATE IVSomething more involved than an informative site with a contact form.

The practice

Web and social applications

Sometimes what you want is not a website. It is a platform, a product, or a connection into one that already exists.

You may want something more involved than an informative site with contact details on it. You may have an idea for a product. Or you may have realised that a piece of software you already rely on would be exactly right if it just did one more thing.

All three are the same kind of work: building the application, or building the bridge to the one that already exists.

Questions we are actually asked

Do you build ordinary marketing websites?

We can, but it is not where we add the most value. The work we are best suited to is a platform, a product, or an integration into a service that already exists.

Can you connect to an existing social platform rather than building one?

Yes. Connecting into an established platform is usually the faster and cheaper route to the same outcome, and we will say so if it is.

What technologies do you build web applications in?

JavaScript with React, Node.js, AngularJS and jQuery; Java with Spring and Spring Boot; C# with ASP.NET; and HTML5 and CSS3 on the front end.

Also in the practice

  • Customization — Plug-ins and utilities for Retail Pro 8, 9 and Prism — and migration of the customizations you already depend on.
  • Integrations — Making disparate systems share data — legacy to cloud, POS to accounting, database to API.
  • Porting to new technologies — Legacy systems are reliable right up until nobody is left who can work on them.
  • Project management — New projects, and projects that had gone completely off the rails.
