Custom Application Development

Do you have a business process which would benefit from purpose-built software? MAGNA 8  can help by working with you to create a custom application unique for your company. Our development process: we begin with scoping work to ensure we understand your business drivers, project requirement, and goals, and then let our talented programming team create your solution.

Examples of prior custom programming engagements include:

  • Created and implemented a warehouse management system (WMS) including a native Android app customized for the unique needs of a sight-disabled workforce.
  • Built and implemented a quality-control system enabling the tracking of product samples through a critical testing process for a heavy industrial manufacturer.
  • Created and implemented a tracking system for a grower of grape vines required to maintain records tracking vine cuttings back to the root stock.

Application Integration

Our typical client utilizes a number of different business applications for their day to day operations. It is common that these programs are not well integrated, creating data silos within the organization and raising the potential for time-wasting duplicate work and errors. MAGNA 8  can create API’s, or use existing application API’s to tie your apps together.

Examples of enterprise application integration by MAGNA 8  include:

  • Refining the inventory and fulfillment system for an ecommerce snacks company, tying warehouse operations together with back-end ecommerce systems in a heavily customized code environment.
  • Working with an industrial manufacturer on consolidation of enterprise applications (ERP systems) and data integration with an acquired firm, without ceasing operations.

Application Updates & Rewrites

Many companies utilities internal applications or utilities which were built long ago on technology platforms which are now nearing obsolescence. As a core competency, MAGNA 8  can refresh, update, or even rewrite these applications, porting them over from old code to a modern platform. We begin with a review of your business goals, specific requirements, and current code, and then work with you for a smooth software transition process.

Examples of application customization, updates & rewrites by the MAGNA 8  advanced programming team include:

  • Refinement and enhancement of an industrial company’s business system written entirely in Microsoft Access.
  • Data migration of a manufacturer subsidiary’s custom ERP system to the ERP used by the parent organization
