Questions we get asked frequently
Customized software development refers to the development of applications that are tailored to the specific processes and requirements of a company. In contrast to standard software, it offers an exact fit in terms of functions and can be integrated directly into existing IT systems. The scope of development ranges from individual web or mobile applications to complex backend systems or SaaS platforms. A clean requirements analysis before the start of implementation is crucial for the success of the project.
The development effort essentially depends on the scope of functions, the maturity of the requirements and the complexity of interface connections. Projects with clearly defined requirements at the start are much easier to plan than those where specifications change during implementation. The chosen approach also influences runtime and risk: an MVP that goes live quickly and is developed iteratively behaves differently in the calculation than a fully developed system from the outset. An early prototype helps to validate requirements and avoid costly corrections in late project phases.
No-code platforms make it possible to create applications and automated workflows without programming knowledge. This enables specialist departments to digitize their own processes without having to rely on the IT department, which reduces development backlogs and shortens release cycles. Typical areas of application are finance, operations and supply chain, where business experts know their requirements best. No-code does not replace individual development, but significantly reduces the need for traditional programming if processes can be clearly defined.
SPG has access to over 300 developers from more than 10 countries, covering all common programming languages. Projects are implemented with local or nearshore teams depending on requirements and location. The range of services extends from individual web applications and mobile applications to complete SaaS platforms. The focus during project implementation is on cost efficiency and close cooperation with the customer, from requirements analysis to implementation and rollout.
Amonga is an API integration solution developed by SPG that can be operated as a cloud service or self-hosted on-premise. It connects source systems, especially legacy systems, with modern APIs and SaaS applications via no-code API conversion without the need to write any code. Integration flows are configured and adapted entirely via the web interface, even if connected interfaces change frequently. Amonga is used in the enterprise environment, for example to connect car insurers to dealer systems, where around 60,000 requests per week are processed during operation.
Antson is a cloud-based no-code platform from SPG for the visual creation and automation of workflows. Business users without programming skills can use it to build digital processes, dynamic forms and applications themselves, which shortens development cycles and reduces the need for internal IT resources. One focus is on insurance and FinTech processes, from the application process to self-service and claims reporting, with interfaces to existing systems such as MSG, WEFOX or CCA. For the insurer ERGO, Antson digitized the paper-based claims reporting for event tickets within two months and reduced the processing time to an average of seven minutes.
