During this stage we: • Analyze the business and conduct the research • Create a project roadmap • Estimate the costs and project duration • Conduct a Proof of Concept
#2
Software Design, its architecture and Development
At this point, the team of programmers, UI/UX designers and certified project managers will determine how your logistics app will generally work. It is time to consider the network, hardware, use cases, etc. The architecture stage also includes the first version of the system and is one of the most important points in the development process. This stage includes: • The specifications of design documents • Development of an MVP • Migration of data • Development of custom system integration
#3
Testing
Tests serve to detect loopholes in the software. It is the moment to verify that the software works correctly with the indicated tasks, and for this, the tests of each module can be carried out separately and later in an integral way. This stage is the perfect opportunity to execute the necessary measures to ensure system quality. During this stage we: • Test the functionality of the developed software • Conduct non-functional testing • Assure the quality of the delivered product
#4
Deployment
We present your system to the live production environment to finish the software development cycle. The expanded installation, operations and end-user functionality guides follow it.
