Boost ROI with customized software development
Level 12, a custom software consultancy, expanded its suite of customized B2B services. Designed to help organizations assess needs, engineer solutions and deploy one-of-a-kind software, the services help clients innovate and compete in the ever-changing payments industry, company representatives stated.
"Level 12 is focused on balancing custom work with cost mindfulness through iterative software development," said Royce Hall, director of business development at Level 12. "We build exactly what you need while controlling costs by concentrating on critical functionality."
While off-the-shelf solutions may be appropriate for mitigating costs and meeting immediate needs, these products may not always meet an organization's unique operational demands, Hall noted. Software that is tailor made for an organization can reduce costs and increase productivity while providing a measurable return on investment, he stated.
Suite of customized solutions
Custom development projects typically require a larger upfront investment than ready-made software but may be more cost-effective in the long run than off-the-shelf programs, Hall stated. Level 12 helps clients end to end—from initial concept through execution and deployment.
"If you're paying thousands a month in licenses, how soon until you have paid more than the one-time investment in custom work," Hall said. "Custom software can unlock ROI that SaaS products are not able to because it fulfills your requirements and gives you everything you need."
Following are Level 12 services:
- Custom software development: Tailored software services include upfront assessment, planning, documentation, testing and deployment.
- Data management: Database services include database design, data warehousing, data migration, and data conversion.
- Systems integration: Integrations connect multiple applications via APIs, scripts, and other automation tasks through strategic engineering and quality coding.
- Business intelligence: Customized business intelligence solutions leverage advanced analytics through data visualization, dashboards and customized reporting.
"If you have an idea that will set you apart from your competition, creating custom software can launch you to the top of your industry," Hall stated. "It will also deliver specific solutions that meet your exact needs, unlike generic SaaS offerings."
Building with partners
Level 12 works across multiple industries, Hall noted, including merchant services, fintech, logistics and manufacturing and the Internet of Things. The company also has a referral partner program that offers the following benefits to participating clients and partners:
- Dedicated support: Level 12 clients receive dedicated support and individualized attention.
- Scalability: Level 12 customized software is designed to grow with clients to stay in synch with changes in their business logic.
- Ownership: Level 12 clients avoid user fees because they have full ownership of their solutions. They can sell their solutions or charge people to use them.
"We begin with the big picture, then break it down to basic needs," Hall said. "This involves in-depth assessment, detailed execution, quality and assurance testing, and on-time, on-budget delivery. We document each step and communicate with our clients throughout the process. That's the Level 12 advantage."
