Custom software development is all about building new software around an existing business. This is a challenge for the majority of developers, who usually create software for companies they’ve never even seen. Ayoka takes a different approach. From the first day, they use customer service and open communication to build the foundation of each new project. Ayoka believes they have to understand your business before they can make your ideal custom software or application. This means in-person visits and face to face discussions, and that’s just the beginning.
Ayoka’s Process
Whenever you contract custom software development services, you can expect a phone call or a series of emails. The difference between Ayoka and many other developers, however, is that phone call or email is simply a means to set up a real face to face meeting. From the beginning of your working relationship, Ayoka takes your business not only seriously, but personally.
During and after your in-person meeting, Ayoka systems experts will learn about your business. Ayoka doesn’t just want your name and an address to which they can bill their invoices. Ayoka wants to understand your business. After all, the best way to design the most intuitive custom software for your business is to get inside your business and see how it ticks.
Communication is key for Ayoka’s development teams, and you can expect collaborative measures throughout the entire process. By working with rather than for you, Ayoka systems developers can ensure they’re delivering the best possible product. Everything is tailored for your business, and collaboration helps streamline the fit.

The important thing to remember is that Ayoka’s customer service and collaboration standards aren’t limited to their custom software development services. Your business can trust Ayoka’s staff to bring the same high quality standards to every project, large or small. By providing so many different kinds of software services, Ayoka also makes future projects and maintenance easier for your business.
It’s always easier for a software program’s original developer to diagnose and correct flaws in the system. Since Ayoka knows not only their own products, but your business’s original systems very well, they are uniquely qualified to handle any further maintenance on the system. Whether you are starting something new, adapting something old, or simply joining two different systems, Ayoka can help make the finished system sound and easy for your business to use. Most importantly, Ayoka’s track record proves their work and products are secure.
The Trouble with Overseas Developers
Naturally, Ayoka faces plenty of competition. The primary source of that competition offers drastically different services at a higher level of inconvenience. This is because the vast majority of Ayoka’s competition has headquarters on the other side of an ocean.
A custom software development team on the other side of an ocean cannot visit your business in person even once without hiking their prices to accommodate travel expenses. Follow up visits and in-person collaboration are off the table altogether. The primary advantage of contracting overseas is the price of the final product. However, in order to keep those prices low, even the best overseas developers have to cut a few corners, and the best way to do that is to limit customer service. Without regular communication, they cannot create the perfectly-fitted products Ayoka offers. All of this goes without mentioning the frustrations of phone and email communication, the likelihood of misunderstandings, and potential language barriers.
Even if the final product is satisfactory, there’s no way a development team on the other side of an ocean can provide reliable, hands-on support for your new software and applications. Ayoka can offer the range of services it does because it is a local business. When there is a problem that requires a technician on the scene, they can provide one. Paying for a technician to fly in from another part of the world is costly and unreasonable.
Ayoka’s custom software development services stand look very different from the competition. Their other services are made possible due in large part to those differences. Ayoka comes to your business in-person to learn, discuss, and collaborate. Your finished product will suit your business because it was designed with your business in mind, not just your industry or a short paragraph about your business goals. Working with a local developer provides many advantages, but the best by far is the personal touch and ease of communication.
