CUSTOM SOFTWARE / BUILT AROUND YOUR BUSINESS

Your work is different.
Your software can be, too.

Tailor ORCA. Extend what it can do. Or build something entirely your own.

Work with the team behind ORCA to turn a specific business problem into software that fits. We take on standalone custom projects as well as ORCA implementations.

You do not need to adopt ORCA to work with us.

START WITH THE WORKIllustrative approach
YOUR BUSINESSPeople. Process. Systems.

What needs to work better?

A defined problem → a scoped solution → a working implementation

THREE STARTING POINTS

Start with what fits.
Build what’s missing.

The right answer might be an existing capability, a custom extension, or a dedicated application. We work through that choice with you.

01 / TAILOR ORCA

Make ORCA fit your process.

Shape an implementation around the way your team works, using existing capabilities and configuration where they fit.

  • Team roles and operational views
  • Customer rules and business workflows
  • Connections between the parts of ORCA you need

A starting conversation“Our dealers each buy under different pricing and shipping arrangements.”

02 / EXTEND ORCA

Build the missing connection.

Scope custom development when a workflow, interface, integration, or reporting need goes beyond existing functionality.

  • Specialized screens and workflows
  • Connections to other business systems
  • Reports and tools for a particular process

A starting conversation“We need a handoff between our production process and another system.”

Explore connected systems →
03 / BUILD CUSTOM SOFTWARE

Your solution. Its own scope.

Commission a standalone solution for a specific business need. An ORCA rollout is not a prerequisite.

  • Customer and partner portals
  • Internal applications and operational tools
  • Specialized workflows and system connections

A starting conversation“We have a process that no off-the-shelf product handles well.”

BEGIN WITH THE PROBLEM

Show us where the work gets stuck.

SPREADSHEETS + REPEATED ENTRY

A shared operational tool

Explore an application that brings the right information and steps into one place.

EMAILS + STATUS CHASING

A purpose-built portal

Give customers or partners a clearer way to submit information and follow their work.

SYSTEMS THAT DON’T TALK

A defined integration

Scope the records, rules, and handoffs needed to connect the systems you depend on.

These are project starting points. Features, integrations, and delivery commitments are defined during scoping.

FROM IDEA TO IMPLEMENTATION

Make the next step concrete.

01

Understand the work.

Walk through the people, systems, exceptions, and outcomes that matter.

02

Agree on the scope.

Separate existing features from new development. Define the first useful release and what success looks like.

03

Build and review.

Review the proposed experience and working software against the agreed workflow.

04

Plan the rollout.

Address testing, data, access, training, and ongoing support as part of the implementation plan.

WORK DIRECTLY WITH THE BUILDERS

Bring us the process.
Not a finished specification.

You know the work. We can help turn it into a software plan. Start with the forms, spreadsheets, systems, and awkward handoffs your team uses today.

A useful first conversation

  • Who uses the solution, and what are they trying to do?
  • Where does the current process break down?
  • Which systems and data need to connect?
  • What would make the first release worthwhile?

COMMON QUESTIONS

Choose the right kind of build.

Do we have to use ORCA?

No. We take on standalone custom software projects as well as ORCA implementations and extensions.

Can we start with ORCA and add custom features?

Yes. We’ll identify what existing capabilities cover and scope the development needed for the rest.

Is customization included with every implementation?

Configuration and custom development are different kinds of work. We’ll define what is included, what requires a separate build, and the associated scope before committing to delivery.

Can you connect our existing software?

We can assess integrations as part of the project. Feasibility depends on system access, available interfaces, data quality, and the workflow you need.

How long does a custom project take?

Timing depends on scope and dependencies. We’ll work through the first release and implementation requirements before proposing a delivery plan.
