When you think about how Volano Software employees spend their time, you may envision one of our developers in jeans and their favorite gaming t-shirt-wearing headphones working on custom software. Well, that would probably be accurate.

However, we also enjoy watching educational videos about workflow on YouTube in our free time. Yeah. We’re predictable.

On an episode of Adam Savage’s Tested, Adam, the host tested out how best to use the Boston Dynamics robot “Spot” to pull a rickshaw in a manner comfortable for a passenger. It was fascinating to watch the process play out through many steps to perfect a smooth ride. It got us thinking about how it relates to agile software and the development process. (Hey, it’s how our minds work).  

Software Analogy

In our analogy, imagine the rickshaw is your business and Spot (the robot) is custom-built software from Volano. It’s a constantly evolving process. In the episode, Spot responds to rough terrain and uphill situations with the assistance of a few helpers (software developers) who update Spot’s software on the fly to create methods to overcome the obstacles.

In our world, we chart out a path to determine what the challenges are in your industry through our Discovery process. It varies from business to business, and we thrive on removing logjams to produce a better ROI. Many times, we address one pressing need that is most crucial and then pivot to work on another one until you realize the success you want. 

Changing Business Environment

The landscape of your business environment is ever-changing and so are our business software solutions. We like to think our strength is partnering with companies to champion a better day with better outcomes and employee satisfaction. Many times, it is one challenge at a time. Volano Software is there for the long haul. Like a trusted business consultant, we are agile and can change with you over time.  

Our custom-built software can navigate your tough terrain and uphill battles with limiting factors to make your business more efficient. Need the proof? Check out our client case studies (https://volanosoftware.com/our-work/)

Our best success stories with clients start with a focus-based meeting to understand your business model and how we can help. Then, with your input, we address your biggest concerns first. After our team completes that step, we can switch focus to another issue.

In Closing

To borrow a term from one of our other favorite shows, MythBusters, you don’t need to go “whole hog” to have us create custom software to improve the workflow from left to right. That’s a myth. Start slowly with bite-sized software to remedy one major concern. Then, you can adapt new bolt-on pieces of software to address other limiting factors in the business operation.

Choose us to be your strongest ally to overcome challenges in your industry. Ask around. We’ve been tested to take on the uphill battles.

We love the view from the top.
