You Think Outside the Box

... So do we! And we develop systems that support your out of the box thinking.

If you have developed an innovative business model and see the need for unique systems to fit that model, then you want to talk with us.

Some business models are well suited to off-the-shelf software (standard e-commerce systems, restaurants needing standard Point of Sale systems, businesses with standard inventory management needs).

Other models have something beyond the norm.

When you are at the point where you and your staff are losing time or productivity because you have to work around your software systems, then you may have a legitimate need for custom software to increase efficiencies, save time or increase your profitability.

Open Box has worked with many innovative entrepreneurs, who often face common challenges as they build out or scale their businesses:

Building for growth while managing cash flow
Improving Productivity
Protecting their IP or their 'secret sauce'
Dealing with information overload OR a lack of important information
Increasing sales without having to scale your fixed costs/salaries
Juggling multiple priorities and tasks
Motivating and effectively monitoring staff adherence to processes and procedures

These are the types of challenges where custom software may make the difference and allow you to scale your business efficiently. Contact us for a complimentary consultation.

If we feel that we can help, we will tell you.

If we know of systems that you can buy off the shelf, we will tell you.

If we need to do some research first, we will tell you.

If a custom solution will provide a good return on your investment, we will tell you.

We frequently work with companies that have had failed projects in the past. The most common causes of custom development project failure are:

Lack of technical expertise (sometimes unconsciously)
Lack of good requirements/specifications
Requirements or specifications that do not actually solve the business problems that inspired their creation
Lack of clear communication
Lack of solid processes for project management
Lack of flexibility in the development process to adapt to changes in needs as you start to see and work with the system

Contact us to find out how we prevent each of those common causes of failure to deliver projects that our customers describe as 'award winning' or 'exceeding their expectations' and lead them to describe us as 'the best information technology company I have ever had the opportunity to work with' and 'reliable and innovative' and 'able to make progress for them without their involvement' and having a 'core competency in understanding business processes and turning that in to cost effective and meaningful systems'.

You too can enjoy not just the process but the fruits of custom software development that helps your business take flight, increasing efficiency and profitability.
