The tool dictates the process
You bend your process to fit the tool, and pay monthly for the privilege.

FAQ
Software, Web & Apps: common questions
Should I buy off-the-shelf software or have it custom built?
Buy off-the-shelf when a ready-made product meets most of your needs without heavy customisation, and build when your process is unusual or available products cannot be adapted or integrated to fit. UK government technology guidance applies the same test, noting that building gives more control and that owning the software keeps you free to change it, provided you have the capability to run the project. DataDove builds bespoke apps, CRMs and internal tools around how a business works, and connects existing tools through APIs.
Do I need a native mobile app, or will a web app do?
A web app will often do if it is built as a progressive web app, which runs on phones, tablets and computers from one codebase and can be installed, work offline and integrate with the device. A native app is built for one platform, such as iOS or Android, with that platform's own tools, and is usually installed from its app store; the right choice depends on where your users are and what the app must do on the device. DataDove builds both, scoped around how you work.
What does DataDove build for software, web and apps?
DataDove builds software and websites shaped around how a business works: web and mobile apps, CRMs and internal tools, APIs and integrations, UI/UX and wireframes, responsive websites and performance optimisation. Delivered projects include commerce, repair-booking and inventory work for LCD King's electronics retail operation.
What are the stages of a software or website build?
A DataDove software or website build runs in four stages: scope, prototype, build and test, then launch and support. Scoping maps how you work before a line of code is written; a clickable prototype follows early, while changes are cheap; the build is tested until it holds; and after launch DataDove stays on to support it.
How much does a custom software or website project cost?
A custom software or website project with DataDove is quoted on its scope: how many systems it touches, whether it replaces a tool you already pay for each month, and how much of your workflow it has to connect. The quote is net of VAT, and the project begins once you and DataDove agree scope, price and timing in writing.
