Tailor-Made System Development Services

What is tailor-made system development?

It refers to the development of a business application system from the ground up, commonly referred to as building from “Scratch”. This system is custom designed to meet the specific needs of the company.

“Scratch” means developing a system or software from the beginning, without using code or templates from pre-made products or other software (referenced from the IT Term Dictionary “e-Words”).

Purpose of Development
To apply specific business knowledge in building a system that can differentiate the company from others.

Pros & Cons
Comparing between package software and tailor-made systems
【Package software】
 
   Pros: Quick delivery, stable system operation    
    • Reasonable price if it matches your business
    • Functions are pre-configured, which can shorten the implementation period
    • Stable quality, as many products are available on the market
【Tailor-made system】
 
   Pros: Optimal functionality, user-friendly    
    • Without changing any operation, you can build the system freely in accordance with your operation
    • You can develop by adding required functions respectively according to the expansion of your business
    • You can use the system in long term because it is tailored for your operation
   Cons: Limitation of functionality and scalability    
    • You might lose your competitive edge because you can only use fixed functions
    • It requires more cost and time if you want to customize basic functions or add new ones
    • It is difficult to extend the system flexibly to match your business expansion
   Cons: Taking more time and costs to develop than packages    
    • More expensive than commercial package software
    • It requires time to develop the system according to the customer’s requirements
    • It may take time for the system to reach stability

Tailor-made development methodology

Waterfall model
This model divides the development process into different phases and progresses the system sequentially. If the previous phase is not yet completed, the next phase cannot proceed. This ensures the quality of the deliverables in the previous phase and minimizes the need for rework in earlier phases.

Flow of waterfall model

Agile development methodology
This model divides system development into smaller sprints, each sprint lasts for a short period, typically 1-2 weeks, with deliverables produced at the end of each sprint. This approach allows for incremental delivery of work. The process prioritizes communication within the team over extensive documentation, facilitating more effective adaptation to changes in customer requirements.

Advantages of agile development

    1. Flexibility in adapting to changes
      Delivering work at the end of each sprint enables the customer to periodically review the progress and provide immediate feedback. In the event that any aspect is incorrect or unsatisfactory, the customer can promptly notify the team of necessary revisions.
    2. Mitigating risks and reducing miscommunication
      All team members are involved from the beginning, with regular planning sessions and team meetings to ensure a shared understanding. This collaborative approach allows the team to monitor progress collectively, facilitating better risk assessment and enhanced project control.
    3. Ensuring a high-quality system
      The iterative development of system functions allows for greater focus on each individual function. Additionally, system testing is conducted prior to the delivery of each sprint, thereby increasing customer confidence in the overall quality of the system.
    4. Enhancing Customer Satisfaction
      In addition to delivering a system tailored to the customer’s requirements, the regular delivery of functional components allows the customer to immediately utilize each feature without having to wait for the completion of the entire system, as is typical in the waterfall model.

Experience of tailor-made system development

Production line control system

Improving operational errors in the factory production line
We have developed a system that displays the production plan and output data on tablet screens, providing real-time monitoring capabilities.

To prevent errors in part assembly, the system prominently displays images and notifications, clearly indicating which components should be selected by staff for assembly.

Warehouse management system
Improving errors in the inspection process for receiving and shipping operations

Implementation of barcode scanning for product receipt and shipping

By utilizing barcode scanning in the processes of part receipt, inventory management, and product shipping, it is possible to prevent inspection errors and omissions, thereby improving the accuracy of inventory management.

Pallet management using RFID

The application of RFID technology to pallets enables precise tracking of pallet usage, identifying both the user and the time of use. This system facilitates enhanced control over the current location of pallets and helps mitigate asset losses due to misplacement or damage.

Simulation of container loading efficiency

We have developed a program designed to simulate the optimal method for loading products into containers for transportation via truck or ship, thereby minimizing costs and reducing potential losses during the shipping process.

Smartphone application development
We are capable of developing a wide range of functions tailored to customer requirements for use on smartphones, including:

  1. ✓   System registration

    ✓   Filling out information and submitting attached documents

    ✓   Taking a photo for identity verification

    ✓   Activating a credit card

    ✓   Integrating real-time location data via GPS

    ✓   Delivering notifications for marketing promotions
