We identified a niche in the high-volume sales fulfillment space and got to work building TheSalesFactory, a generic new business switch to address that niche.<br><br>The product launched in 2008 and is still in active use today despite the dramatic changes in the technology and sales landscapes. The ten-plus years spent actively integrating products into almost all the major insurance product houses and banks in South Africa, allowed us to build up a substantial tool-set for integration and rapid product development.<br><br>We were also early adopters of cloud technologies and the emergence of the API marketplace. All these factors and school fees put ONTHEROCK software in a very strong position to deliver service, advice, and of course, our first love: <strong>software.</strong></p></p> </div> </div> <div class="w-full px-3 mb-12 lg:w-1/2 order-1 lg:order-1 lg:mb-0"><img class="mx-auto sm:max-w-sm lg:max-w-full" src="static/about_us_green.svg" alt="About Us"></div> </div> </div> </section>  <section class="w-full bg-white pt-7 pb-7 pt-32 md:pb-24" id="services"> <div class="mb-10 box-border flex flex-col items-center content-center px-8 mx-auto leading-6 text-black border-0 border-gray-300 border-solid md:flex-row max-w-7xl lg:px-16">  <div class="box-border relative w-full max-w-md px-4 mt-5 mb-4 -ml-5 text-center bg-no-repeat bg-contain border-solid md:ml-0 md:mt-0 md:max-w-none lg:mb-0 md:w-1/2 xl:pl-10"> <img src="/assets/undraw_fitting_piece_re_pxay.svg" alt="Bespoke Development" class="p-2 pl-6 pr-5 xl:pl-16 xl:pr-20 "> </div>  <div class="prose box-border order-first w-full text-black border-solid md:w-1/2 md:pl-10 md:order-none"> <h2 class="m-0 text-xl font-semibold leading-tight border-0 border-gray-300 lg:text-3xl md:text-2xl"> Bespoke Development </h2> <p class="pt-4 pb-8 m-0 leading-7 text-gray-700 border-0 border-gray-300 sm:pr-12 xl:pr-32 lg:text-lg"> <p>We specialize in creating high-performance, user-friendly web and mobile applications that surpass our clients’ expectations.

This approach can lead to scope creep, which is the gradual expansion of a project’s requirements beyond its original scope Scope creep can cause a project to run over budget, miss deadlines, and lack quality. Both customers and developers are always negatively affected by this. After years of being caught in this hamster wheel, we decided to simply remove that frustration from the development process and adopted a <b>simplified agile development approach</b>. The agile approach emphasizes iterative development and continuous feedback, which can help prevent scope creep and ensure that the project stays on track. We further simplified our approach by <b>adopting a month as the smallest measurable unit of work</b> since that is the most sensible time frame to achieve something large enough to move forward at a significant pace.</pre> </details> </div> <div class="bg-white w-full divide-y"> <details> <summary class="mb-2 question cursor-pointer select-none w-full outline-none"> <h3 class="text-xl font-semibold">Do you only develop Laravel applications?</h3> </summary> <p class="pt-1 pb-3">Yes - we are exclusively a Laravel development shop.</pre> </details> </div> <div class="bg-white w-full divide-y"> <details> <summary class="mb-2 question cursor-pointer select-none w-full outline-none"> <h3 class="text-xl font-semibold">Why Laravel?</h3> </summary> <p class="pt-1 pb-3">"Framework hopping" or "framework wars" is extremely counterproductive. We do not advocate that Laravel is the "best" PHP framework - we leave that subjective opinion to the numerous online discussion forums. Instead, we firmly believe that <b>it's the best choice for us</b>, and by settling on a framework and its augmenting ecosystem, we free up energy and focus to solve business problems. Settling on a single framework also ensures that we can easily obtain resources if required, and there is a clear development and training trajectory for growing our resources.</pre> </details> </div> <div class="bg-white w-full divide-y"> <details> <summary class="mb-2 question cursor-pointer select-none w-full outline-none"> <h3 class="text-xl font-semibold">Why is the technology stack important?</h3> </summary> <p class="pt-1 pb-3">The quick answer is: <b>it usually is not</b> - if you want to 100% outsource a bespoke application, then the technology stack is not important. However, if you intend to at some point <b>take ownership</b> of the application, or include it in your existing IT development environment, then the tech stack is <b>very important</b>. For this reason, we advocate <b>clearly communicating what we use to build applications.</b></pre> </details> </div> <div class="bg-white w-full divide-y"> <details> <summary class="mb-2 question cursor-pointer select-none w-full outline-none"> <h3 class="text-xl font-semibold"><b>Costs</b><br/> Why do you only charge month by month?</h3> </summary> <p class="pt-1 pb-3">Counting hours in a software project can be counterproductive for several reasons. Firstly, it is difficult to accurately measure the amount of time that a developer spends on a particular task. This is because developers often work on multiple tasks simultaneously, and it can be challenging to track the exact amount of time spent on each task. Secondly, counting hours can lead to a focus on quantity over quality. Developers may feel pressured to complete tasks quickly, which can result in lower-quality work. Finally, counting hours can be demotivating for developers. If they feel like they are being micromanaged, they may become less engaged with their work. Using larger measurements like months can be more appropriate for measuring software development progress. This is because software development is a complex process that involves many different tasks, and it can be difficult to accurately measure progress on a day-to-day basis. By using larger measurements like months, developers can focus on achieving long-term goals rather than worrying about the number of hours they are working.</pre> </details> </div> <div class="bg-white w-full divide-y"> <details> <summary class="mb-2 question cursor-pointer select-none w-full outline-none"> <h3 class="text-xl font-semibold">What happens if I don't like what you deliver?</h3> </summary> <p class="pt-1 pb-3"><b>You don't pay us</b>.
