Channel IT — Software

Software bends to your business.

You know your business better than any software vendor. We turn that knowledge into a tool that removes data entry, closes the gaps between your departments and finally gives you numbers you can trust.

IT.01

Business software and ERP

Management software is the centre of the information system. Set up well, it saves the whole chain time; set up badly, it wastes everyone's.

Management

ERP and commercial management

Purchasing, sales, multi-site stock, invoicing, analytical accounting. Modules are delivered one at a time and put into service as they land.

Customers

CRM and sales follow-up

Prospects, quotes, reminders, history per customer. Connected to the rest of the system, not sitting in yet another silo.

Decisions

Dashboards and BI

Figures by store, by day, by product family. Comparisons, forecasts and alerts on the variances that cost real money.

Floor

Till, POS and mobility

Payment, scan-based inventory, rounds. Keeps working when the network drops, then re-syncs.

Exchange

Integrations and EDI

Suppliers, marketplaces, carriers, banks. Flat files, REST APIs, SFTP: we plug into what already exists.

Migration

Data takeover

Extraction from the old system, cleaning, de-duplication, checks before cutover. Often half of the real work.

IT.02

Websites and web applications

If you're not in the search results, you don't exist. But a slow, unreadable site is no better than none at all.

Website

Fast, well-ranked sites

Static HTML or a lightweight generator: no page builder loading eight hundred kilobytes of code to display a heading.

Commerce

Online shops

Catalogue tied to your real stock, Bancontact and card payment, shipping and returns tracked from your management system.

Applications

Portals and customer areas

Order tracking, documents, tickets, signatures. Your customers serve themselves, your team gets to breathe.

IT.03

The way we work

Five steps, no surprises. You see something real running by week three.

01

Scoping

Half a day on site. We look at how you work today, not how we'd like you to work.

02

Prototype

Clickable screens and data model signed off before any development. Fixing things here costs a hundred times less.

03

Development

Deliveries every two weeks, on a test environment you can open whenever you want.

04

Migration & cutover

Real data migration, parallel running, training your teams on their own records.

05

Maintenance

Fixes, improvements, verified backups. A clear contract, not an invoice per incident.

IT.04

Technology

What we use day to day, and why we don't change our minds every six months.

Backend Python / Flask · Node.js · .NETDatabases PostgreSQL · Microsoft SQL Server · HFSQLFrontend HTML / CSS / JavaScript · React where it's warrantedIntegrations REST APIs · EDI · SFTP · WebhooksHosting European servers · automated deployment · tested backupsLegacy WinDev · migrations from proprietary systems

We choose technology based on how long the tool has to live and who will have to maintain it. Management software lasts ten years: it is not a playground for fashions.

IT.05

Roughly what does it cost?

Move the sliders and you get an immediate range. More honest than a form promising a call back within 24 hours.

These figures are a starting range, excluding third-party licences and heavy data migration. The number that matters comes out of the scoping session, and scoping is free.
