The Importance of Software Development
DEVELOPING WORLD-CLASS DIGITAL APPLICATIONS WITH A DEDICATED TEAM OF DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT SPECIALISTS.
Software development includes the process of planning, designing, coding, and testing software with the goal of creating a program that can function a specific task on a machine or an appliance. One of the most common types of software is an application. Applications are usually operated by users to accomplish tasks such as sending email or creating documents. Software applications have been around since the early days of computers, but they have seen a huge boost in popularity with the rise of mobile devices and cloud computing. In addition to software applications, there are web applications—which are applications designed specifically for internet use. Web applications are used by users through their browsers on devices such as computers and smartphones.
Software development begins with an idea for a software program—a new tool for your business to help customers, automate processes, or otherwise solve problems. Software developers then transform that idea into reality by working around challenges that arise as they write code, test it, and then launch it.
Software, web, and mobile applications share some similarities but also have their own separate design requirements based on the device or environment, as well as the market and consumers. These differences determine what programming language is used to write an application. For example, mobile applications are written using different code than web or software applications in order to operate correctly on the device.
Surge offers a wide range of services, including software development and design. We believe that our success is due in part to our ability to create the right solution for each client. To ensure that we’re always meeting clients’ needs, we use different programming languages and platforms to build applications that are compatible with a variety of devices and operating systems. For example, if a client requires a mobile software for multiple platforms such as iOS and Android, we can create the application using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript to make it cross-compatible.

Custom-built software is designed to streamline the processes of your business. It can decrease the time you spend on administrative tasks and increase the efficiency of your staff, allowing you to focus on your primary services or products.

Our team is experienced in working with a wide range of clients. We develop software applications and e-commerce projects, along with mobile apps, web software, and desktop software. We have all the resources needed for each project in-house with a dedicated team in every field.
For a software solution to be considered successful, it is crucial to consider the challenges that must be overcome during the development process. The first challenge is that you will need to clearly define your goals and objectives before beginning the project. Our software developers will have to know what features are most important for the tool, what kind of functionality it needs, and how it will be used. Once these details are established, our dedicated developers can write appropriate code and test it for necessary adjustments.
Surge has a team of software developers with over 30 years’ experience in developing bespoke applications for organisations in a wide range of fields. Our focus on individual customer requirements and tailored solutions means that we can manage your customer relationships and contact data, generate quotes based on individual customer requirements, streamline workflow processes and track stock using customisable reports.

By creating software that is memorable and distinctive, we help you maximise its functionality while also creating an application that is tailored to your specific needs.
Let’s explore a few methods behind our software application development:
Bespoke Software
We provide bespoke software that helps growing businesses to manage their customers, clients and orders. With business growth comes more customers, employees and orders; high-quality customer service can be hard to maintain. Invest in a CRM or CMS to reduce administration time and focus on running your company effectively. Our development team has vast experience in enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. We will help you clarify your ideas and identify the features that are most important to you. Once we’ve worked out what you’re looking for, we’ll design a custom solution for your business by enhancing or replacing your current outdated systems.
The process starts with a discovery meeting with our design and development team. At this meeting, we’ll ask you questions about what you want the software to do for your business, as well as how you want it to look and feel. After that session is over, we’ll do the necessary research to discover the best way to build a solution for you. Then, we’ll present our findings at another meeting to go over any changes or additions that were necessary during our research efforts.
As a bespoke software agency, our extensive team will use this information to create a fully tailored solution that will solve your businesses problems. It’s vital that we become an extension of your team, making your problems ours so that we can help you find the right answers and solutions.

Web Application
Web software applications can help your business automate tasks, keep track of inventory, schedule appointments, manage your email and more. If you’ve ever had a problem with a business’ website or if you’ve ever had trouble opening an attachment on your smartphone, software made for businesses can help out with those problems.
There are a lot of different types of software that can help your business run more smoothly and be more profitable. For one, there’s accounting software—the type of program you use to keep track of your company’s finances. Then there are programs meant specifically for small businesses, like CRM (client relationship management) software or HR (human resources) software. If you have a retail store, retail software can help you keep track of inventory and sales in real time.
A well-designed web application can provide a competitive advantage by streamlining the order process for customers and presenting relevant information with a visceral interface. By using the latest web technologies and user interface techniques, our synergetic teams forge unique web platforms to increase efficiency and productivity for your business.

Mobile Application
A mobile application is an executable program that is designed to run on a smartphone, tablet, watch, or other mobile device. The main difference between a mobile app and any other software is that a mobile app can make use of a smartphone’s capabilities and features, such as its camera or GPS system, to create new, unique computing experiences not possible on traditional devices.
A personalised app can increase your audience base, bringing new customers and making your brand more accessible to people who might not have known about it otherwise. Some businesses also use their mobile apps as virtual storefronts, allowing customers to make purchases directly through the app. For any company that is looking to expand their reach to a wider audience, a mobile app is the perfect way to do that. It is also an excellent opportunity for companies to get creative with their branding and design by creating apps that are fun or interactive.
At Surge, our team of savvy developers can flesh out a mobile presence for your business by creating native mobile apps for iOS and Android or by building a hybrid app that works on both platforms. A hybrid app runs on native operating systems like iOS and Android and uses web technologies like HTML5 or JavaScript to render content and interact with the device it’s running on.

Responsive Design
Responsive web design is an approach to software development that allows a software application to respond to the user’s behaviour and environment across multiple devices. A responsive software adapts its layout to the user’s environment based on screen size, platform and orientation, so it will display correctly on a wide range of devices.
Our versatile software applications are built using the latest technologies and standards to ensure optimal performance. We write software across many different programming languages including Windows, IBM, Java, Linux, Unix and iOS. We pride ourselves on being an agile software development agency—you can count on us to deliver high-quality applications that exceed your expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a bespoke software?
Perhaps in your business, there are tasks that are repetitive and dull. A software could be built to solve these issues, and it can provide the perfect solution to increase productivity. A custom-built software may be one of the best investments your business ever makes. It has the potential to save your company a great deal of time and money in many different areas.
How long does it take to develop a software application?
That completely depends on the software you’d like us to develop, however, as a general rule of them: when we develop a new application, we first collaborate with you to define the goals of the project and discuss the information that will be included in it. Once we’ve established what the software should accomplish and how it will function, we start developing design prototypes. We collaborate with our clients throughout this process to make sure that we’re always achieving their goals and staying true to the design/content that they want. In order to keep up with changing technology, we test all of our prototypes using an emulator that allows us to view your app on various platforms throughout development. We check for devices in use at the time of your build so that your application works correctly. In total, from start to finish, the entire cycle of design, testing, content creation and development takes around six months to launch and complete.
What steps are involved with software application development?
A lot! Software application development involves a number of interconnected stages. The first stage is the conceptualisation and design of the application, which uses an iterative process that focuses on identifying the users’ needs, mapping these needs to features, and finally producing a prototype that helps to validate these features with potential users. The next stage is an implementation stage in which the code for the various components of the mobile application are produced using an appropriate programming language such as Java. This stage also involves integrating the code with other required technology, including data access through an API and testing across multiple target devices. The final steps include launching and packaging the application into installable software bundles for personal use.
What languages do you code in?
Our native Android apps are built using Kotlin, a modern programming language that can be written like Java but also excels at enabling some of the most advanced features of Android. Our iOS apps are built using Swift, a modern programming language that can be written like Objective-C but also excels at enabling some of the most advanced features of iOS. We can also help you with hybrid mobile development if that’s more suited to your needs.
Additionally, our senior development team has developed for most major platforms, including Windows, IBM, PC, Linux, Unix and iOS.
What information do you need from us before we start?
We’d love to know more about the specific purpose of the ideal application you’d like us to build: its functionality, scope, further details, etc. We’d love to hear from you, so please, do not hesitate to get in touch today!
