Start with the business problem, the current workflow and what actually needs to change.
Bespoke business software
Software that fits your business.
Practical bespoke software designed to solve the problems your current technology can’t.
Business software doesn’t always keep pace with a changing organisation. Graphite Pixels designs practical solutions around legacy applications, established data and working processes, without assuming that everything needs to be replaced.

A practical approach
Sometimes a small piece of software can solve a very expensive problem.
Perhaps a legacy application can’t accommodate a new requirement. A change in legislation may require the business to report data in a prescribed way, or provide additional information that its software was never designed to hold. Staff may be spending hours on a process that ought to take minutes, or information may need to move between different platforms that were never designed to work together. Replacing proven business software isn’t always the answer.
Connect
Make better use of the software, processes and data already available.
Build
Design bespoke software where an off the shelf solution simply doesn’t fit.
Proportionate solutions
The right solution doesn’t have to be complicated.
Bespoke software isn’t always the answer.
Sometimes a product already in use does what’s needed. Sometimes a complicated spreadsheet simply needs a straightforward interface so that people can use it confidently without risking formulas or underlying data. A cumbersome workflow may need simplifying before any software is written. And sometimes a lightweight database or small utility is all that’s required.
The aim is to find the most appropriate solution to the business problem, without introducing unnecessary complexity.
The right tool for the job, not a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

What does your business put up with because “that’s just how the system works”?
If established software is creating unnecessary work, can’t accommodate a new requirement or no longer fits the way your business operates, there may be a simpler solution than replacing it.
