Here are a few things that set us apart from others...
User Interface Design:
We will work closely with you to design an appropriate user interface. A good user interface allows you to quickly retrieve or enter information with the least keystrokes and mouse clicks possible. We’ll go step by step through your business process so that we can tailor menus and page layouts suited to your individual business needs. Are you frustrated with your current information system? Do you have information spread out among various systems making it difficult and time consuming to analyze and integrate the data you desire? Let West Seattle Design provide a customized, integrated solution for you. We’ll work with you to develop an integrated system allowing you to retrieve and use your historical data for marketing as well as estimating.
Database design:
The database is the critical core to most business applications. It stores your information for future retrieval. A poorly developed database is not only inefficient because duplicate data is entered in many places, it may produce unpredictable or inaccurate results. It’s also likely you’ll quickly ‘run into a brick wall’ when you want to produce more advanced reports, or queries because one piece of data is not properly related to the other. The system may grind to halt if multiple users are running inefficient queries which limit the scalability of the system. Any of these or other problems will lead to a costly database redesign with possible data loss and system downtime. West Seattle Design prides itself on developing well designed, normalized database structures specifically tailored to your individual business processes. A well designed database allows you to retrieve and analyze the data you want now, as well as the ability to add future functionality to your system quickly and cost effectively. Information from external data sources can be ‘hooked’ into providing fuller datasets for analyzing and reporting purposes.
Standardized Toolkit:
West Seattle Design uses its own standardized toolkit library which has been developed and added to over many years. It allows us to develop a solution rapidly saving you time and money.
Construction industry experience:
Our design team has worked in various parts of the construction industry, including marketing, estimating, engineering and design. Since we’ve worked in these areas we’re familiar with industry nomenclature and appreciate the unique business structures that each possess.
Reporting:
We’re experts with reports. We start by developing customized search forms which allow you to filter data that’s important to your business. We then build streamlined reports for you that encapsulate only the information you desire.
