The future of development is here

Here are the top ways Crispy Software Solutions stands out from the competition:

We’re customer-driven. Our job is about more than just developing the best custom application or business process automation. It’s also about building relationships. We strive to function as an extension of your team, delivering both unmatched service and high-quality solutions. That way, you can get back to business faster — and have a go-to partner for your next project.

We’re a boutique agency. We’re not a factory, designed to burn and churn through every client. Client retention is important to us — and we’re in it for the partnerships. So our small team is dedicated to your success: we don’t succeed unless you do.

We exclusively offer low-code and no-code development. Fully custom coding requires expensive price tags and large dev teams. They spend their time tinkering with servers and unit tests instead of delivering exemplary service. But thanks to low- and no-code development, we’re focused on you! What’s more, our solutions are far easier to learn, implement, and maintain compared to fully custom code.

We don’t stop at delivery. Implementing new tools and processes is complex and time-consuming. That’s why we help you transition to our solutions simply and efficiently. And if you encounter any challenges — whether during onboarding or later on — we’re here to help.

Workflow automation has numerous benefits, including:

Improved accuracy. Even your best team members can make mistakes, but automated systems are more likely to spot inconsistencies or simple errors.

Increased efficiency and productivity. Teams no longer need to waste time searching for files and data across multiple systems. And less time spent looking for the right information, performing repetitive tasks, and correcting mistakes means more time working on mission-critical tasks.

Cost savings. When you automate formerly manual tasks, you don’t need to pay for that labor anymore. This could mean reducing headcount or reallocating staff to more important duties. Plus, automation removes reliance on paper, helping you save on printing and storage costs.

Improved integration. When data is scattered across platforms, you miss out on key business insights. Plus, communication between teams becomes more challenging. But workflow automation unites disparate platforms and teams.

Enhanced transparency. Enjoy better accountability and transparency thanks to system logs, advanced reporting, and more. No more days spent hunting down the origins of an issue — automation makes changelogs easy to navigate.

Improved customer experience. Automated CRMs, call center automation, help desk automation, automated order fulfillment, and more can all contribute to more efficient customer service.

Every team’s process is somewhat unique, but the Crispy process for developing a client’s workflow automation goes like this:

1. Identify the business goals and challenges
2. Understand the current process from a user’s POV
3. Identify what the dream state looks like
4. Diagram the dream-state solution, IDing necessary tools and process updates
5. Implement the minimum viable product (MVP) to move toward the dream state
6. Test the solution thoroughly, then ramp up real-world usage to identify further issues and pain points
7. Address feedback, continue refining the solution, and add new features until we reach the dream state
8. Train the business on the use of new processes and tools
9. Monitor, analyze, and support the systems to ensure the solution works well and achieves the desired results

Even the most beautiful or streamlined app isn’t effective if it doesn’t actually solve your problem. Here’s our process:

Gather all requirements. What does your team need? What have you tried? What could get in the way of success?

Document goals and requirements clearly. When you’re mired in a specific detail or two, it’s easy to lose sight of the original goals. We keep a clear record to keep everyone on task.

Implement agile project management. Agile methodologies are alive and well for good reason! By working in traditional sprints, we work toward a minimum viable product without surprises.

Continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD). This approach keeps our eyes on the main goal while making regular progress and frequent improvements.

Effective feature prioritization. A successful balance of form and function ensures that all critical features are implemented; only then can we entertain new or supplementary features.

Automated testing. Testing can be just as time-consuming as initial development, but automated testing streamlines the process without missing any key review stages.

Performance monitoring. As with any web-based tool, app performance can change over time. Performance monitoring highlights any potential issues early and often, keeping your app on track.

Of the two, artificial intelligence (AI) is the parent term. It refers to any technology that exhibits humanlike qualities as part of its key functions. AI includes physical devices, including self-driving cars, as well as software, such as chatbots.

About 77% of businesses worldwide are exploring the use of — or already using — AI (Source: IBM).

Machine learning (ML) is a subset of AI. In short, machine learning uses patterns to incrementally “teach” computer systems to complete tasks — without giving detailed instructions for each request.

At Crispy, we leverage incredible tools like Nanonets, Parseur, and ChatGPT to create game-changing AI/ML solutions for our clients. These low- and no-code tools allow us to deliver greater business impact in less time — and with the best client experience.

Low-code and no-code app development platforms operate in a simplified visual interface, with no developer jargon in sight.

As the name implies, no-code tools don’t require any code to build unique solutions for your business! Low-code tools may require some coding knowledge but are far easier to learn and understand than complex coding languages.

Together, these methodologies allow almost anyone to build tools, applications, and databases that used to be reserved for experienced programmers.

Our expert team combines no-code and low-code solutions to develop unique solutions for your business challenges. Without the complexities of custom code, extensive and complicated servers, infinite testing, and more, we focus on the customer — not the code.

Airtable is a remarkable database solution that streamlines processes and improves transparency. It helps organize your data for improved insights, from daily operations to key business intelligence.

Airtable is an incredibly scalable solution that will grow with your business. That’s why it’s one of the preferred no-code development tools in our tool stack.

Zapier and Make are platform integration engines. They both aid workflow automation by improving connections between the many different systems in your business arsenal.

Here are the key differences between Make and Zapier: 

• Make is somewhat advanced, while Zapier is a beginner engine
• Make allows for deep integrations; Zapier doesn’t
• Make uses far fewer applications (about 1,000-2,000) compared to Zapier (about 5,000-10,000) 

So when creating your custom technologies, how do we decide between Zapier vs. Make? It all depends on you! Our understanding of your business and biggest challenges allows us to make the best decision for your team.
