Incorporate powerful mobile applications into your digital portfolio with our custom development services. Adopt an omnichannel approach to ensure a unified experience from store front to website to mobile app. 

Websites

  • Informational website: A professional and cohesive brand image is paramount for building awareness. We ensure visual consistency with carefully curated design elements and attract users with strategically organized content.
  • Transactional website: E-commerce websites demand scalability and availability to handle high transaction volumes. Plus, top-notch security protocols ensure your data, and that of your users, is protected.
  • Content management systems (CMS): Whether it’s Drupal or other CMS platforms, we create websites that engage users. Conventional or headless, we adapt to your needs.

Custom integrations for enterprise applications

We’re technology agnostic. Starting with the problem, we identify and engineer solutions that align with your objectives. If your current enterprise systems - such as ERP, CRM, HCM, EPM, DAM, or SCM - are operating in silos, take advantage of our business custom solutions integration services to seamlessly connect disparate systems and present a single source of truth organization-wide.

  • Code base refinement: Modernizing legacy code improves performance and maintainability.  

Industries like insurance and aeronautics demand robust solutions with exacting specifications that match your business strategy. Our mission-critical app development ensures reliability, security, and scalability.  

Our custom intranet solutions not only present a unified brand image internally, but also boost employee morale and engagement. From knowledge bases to collaboration tools, we enhance the workplace experience. 

We use custom applications to help humans

Alithya teams have contributed to increasing the autonomy of young adults with special needs after lending a helping hand to Les Petits Rois Foundation. In collaboration with experts in education and clinical research, we have designed custom-made connected mirrors to assist young residents of a brand-new smart home. Our connected mirrors, specifically designed for living spaces such as kitchens and bathrooms, help residents benefit from precise reminders and guidance for daily activities such as meal preparation, laundry, personal hygiene, and much more. This is one example of how we help people through the use of innovative technologies. 

Custom application development process 

 

Determine functional requirements

 

 

First, we listen to your needs, challenges, and goals. Then, we conduct a thorough analysis of your existing processes and systems to better understand your starting point and current limitations.    

 

2

 

Ideate the solution

 

 

Next, we identify the best way to accomplish your desired business outcomes through innovative uses of technology and implementation of best practices. Our solutions could include optimizing your architecture for security and efficiency, improving your user experience to increase engagement, organizing your data for a single source of truth, redesigning your website to be more modern and user-friendly, or other strategic transformation efforts.

Establish a budget and timeline

 

 

After aligning on the vision, we will provide a project plan that clearly states both the cost and deadline for completion. Our project managers oversee the delivery of our solutions to ensure that requirements are met, work stays within scope, and clients are satisfied with the final product.

Develop your custom application

 

 

Our agile group of developers work in sprints and deliver incrementally, following a modified version of the Google Design Sprint methodology. This framework ensures frequent check-ins throughout development to uncover adjustments and pivot as needed, while still adhering to the milestones and budget constraints of the project.  

 

5

 

Optimize and monitor   

 

Once a process has been implemented, it must be monitored carefully and continuously optimized so that it still aligns with your company’s needs.

 

Make your vision a reality

Custom application development is about more than code—it’s about creating meaningful experiences. A well-crafted app isn’t just functional; it’s an opportunity to create delightful moments for your users! We’re here to make your ideal omnichannel user experience possible.
