Development Methodology |
A
typical project for us looks like this. A company wants to improve its
distribution center operation. We investigate the operation
and
problems and in a few weeks develop a prototype of the solution. Next,
with
closed cooperation with the customer, we keep coming with new prototype
revisions until we reach the point that we can put the system into
production.
We offer fixed price to deliver the first prototype and fixed price to
turn the
prototype into working system. We use Wiki as collaboration
tool and as central
repository of project documentation. |
| Experience |
We have a lot of
experience in
distribution center operation and software development for scheduling,
web applications, and modeling. We are consultants and software
developers.

Development

the software
development environment and we use Open Source Smalltalk –
