The software can be divided into different types by specific industries they’re built for.

A professional team of developers will follow your requirements to the tee making your solution as functional and as unique as you would need it.

It may include record-keeping, distribution of water and fertilizers, crop rotation, pest control, yield prognosis, optimization of resources, both human and material, weather prognosis, machinery & equipment management, and many more.

Destination-Specific Software
When we talk about software that helps businesses manage their resources, it is paramount to create a strong IT ecosystem that fosters efficient use of all the available assets including employees, finance, and material resources. It is also essential to ensure fluent communication between you and your customers. Luckily, you can have custom-tailored enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), and Operational Management software crafted by a professional team of developers. These types of software are applicable to almost any industry as they offer a broad set of analytical and managerial tools that can be adapted to the needs of a specific business.
CRM Software
Customer Relationships Management software helps you administer your interactions with the customers via analyzing and using concrete data on their preferences and habits. CRM does more than that, though; it helps you organize your internal business processes, manage your employees, eliminate efficiency bottlenecks, and improve time management. Basically, CRM is one of the most critical tools for managing your business, and an expertly crafted and customized can give you tons of benefits in the long run.
ERP Software
Enterprise Resource Planning is meant for managing the main business processes by collecting, storing, analyzing, and interpreting data from various business activities. Having the information and being capable of interpreting and using it in a proper manner is vital for increasing the efficiency of your business. A custom-made ERP system collects and interprets the information on a daily basis allowing you to better understand and improve your enterprise.
Operations Management Software
The ultimate goal of operations management software is to ensure the efficiency of business operations – from delivering services or goods to the clients to manufacturing those same products – the system helps make all of these processes more effective and efficient. This type of software sets the backbone for your automation efforts, which may prove vital for your business.
Technology-Specific Software
A bunch of new technologies have emerged over the past decade changing our perspectives on how to run and manage a successful business. Few have been as influential as AI and Big Data though; and for that reason, many businesses now try to take advantage of these developments.
AI Software
The advent of Artificial Intelligence has played a pivotal role in the automation of many processes that previously required the involvement of human resources. With AI software, you can now automate and streamline anything, starting with workload scheduling and ending with the manufacturing of goods, and though AI still requires some degree of human involvement, it drastically reduces the time spent on handling monotonous tasks. AI and Big Data development open the doors to new opportunities with machine learning technology helping you better understand and forecast the market trends, optimize the energy consumption of the enterprise, automate processes, and generally boost the efficiency of your business.
IoT Software
Internet of Things software is the next big thing in business that is actually not big at all, but rather a combination of many small things that work together for maximum efficiency. IoT is already everywhere, and it is the right time for you to take advantage of its capacity to bring together countless devices to work on achieving a single goal. What that goal depends on your business objectives, but the technology has already proven its worth in industries like transportation, healthcare, automotive, agriculture, energy, and many more.
Platform-Specific Software
There are several types of custom application software depending on the platform it is used on. Generally, this is the type of software that is meant to run on a specific platform but it also leaves room for cross-platforming.
Desktop Software
Desktop software or application is a tool for connecting the device to the user without a direct connection to the web. Custom software could be anything – a simple calculator, a video game, an analytical tool, a video editing app, and literally anything else. Of course, the fact that this is a desktop app does not exclude the possibility of web functionality. All of that can be added to your custom application in accordance with your desires.
Mobile App Software
Similar to desktop apps, mobile applications are the kind of software that runs on mobile devices, namely smartphones or tablets. Again, this could be anything and the main difference here is that you can use it on portable devices.
Cloud Software
Cloud software is a type of software that uses a cloud computing infrastructure to give ubiquitous access to shared applications to numerous users. Also known as web apps, cloud software could be data storage, an analytical tool that collects the data from numerous sources, an application that serves numerous purposes, a service for the customers or your employees, and many more things. The main advantage here is that it can be easily maintained and improved upon.
