Finding a software solution to solving a business challenge can be overwhelming. We have been helping clients find the best approach for their industry challenges since 2007. The result has always been a solution based on your unique situation for a better workflow.

One of the most popular questions we hear is whether to buy or build software.

The easy answer is “that depends”.

Buying Software

Buying software can be ideal when you know the exact problem you are looking to solve. Perhaps it’s a common industry issue requiring software readily available on the market to make an easier solution. This option is best for common one-size-fits-all issues most companies face. When purchasing software in this manner, it may work well for you. It may also be clunky and not tailor-made for your specific needs.

The more comprehensive reply to the buy vs. build question requires listening, coffee consumption, and the ability to dream of a better day for the future of your business.

Building Software

This is where we excel at software. We love dreamers (and caffeine).

Our best success stories come after lengthy discussions about YOUR day-to-day business. It’s a way forward that allows you to champion your strengths in the marketplace and overcome challenges for a better customer experience and a streamlined business model to make work flow.

We have many examples of building software customized to your industry. Our software development teams have worked across several types and textures of business from education to healthcare and pizza! As you would imagine, they all have unique challenges in their specialized industry. This is why you don’t come home with a large pepperoni pizza from your annual physical at the family physician. Although, how cool would that be? Ok, maybe it would be a veggie pizza.

When we build software for you at Volano Software, you are actively involved in the process with constant communication with your development team who love solving complex challenges. No one knows your industry better than you. We must tap into your knowledge to create the perfect fit for your operation. There is no clunky. The product is designed especially for you and will fit like a glove. One of the tenets of our business model is collaboration. It’s how we have built over 140 new software systems into production since 2007. That’s a lot of dreams built on several pots of coffee.

Buying custom-built software can encourage innovation because it frees up your responsibilities to focus on building your business. With enhanced software implementation you can see better product delivery, customer satisfaction, and better work flow in your field.

As a business owner, you know your industry changes and evolves over time. Our software products, based on your feedback, are flexible and change along with you. It’s designed for today with an eye on tomorrow. That’s something that can’t be purchased off the shelf.

You can leave that move to your competitors.
