Services we offer
- 01Custom Software Development
> TAILORED SYSTEMS THAT MATCH YOUR REAL WORK <
Most Scranton teams reach out when off the shelf tools stop fitting. Maybe the CRM cannot handle your approval chain, or your reporting lives across five disconnected spreadsheets. Custom software development replaces those workarounds with a single, purpose designed system. Our engineers handle architecture, integrations, and performance from day one, so you are not locked into someone else's product roadmap. Custom software offers full ownership of code and data structures, which means your unique internal workflows and customer experiences become proprietary assets rather than rented features.
- Process automation for daily tasks
- Integration with existing data sources
- Secure access for distributed teams
- Interfaces tailored to actual workflows
- Room for new features over time
> SOFTWARE THAT EVOLVES WITH YOUR BUSINESS <
Custom software is not static. It adapts as your business grows and changes. Whether expanding features or integrating new technologies, your system remains aligned with operational goals. This flexibility helps maintain operational efficiency and supports innovation without the constraints of off the shelf solutions.
- Scalable architecture
- Flexible feature updates
- Integration with emerging AI tools
- Maintenance and support tailored to your needs
- Designed for long term reliability
- 02Mobile App Development
> SCRANTON IN YOUR CUSTOMERS' POCKET <
A strong mobile presence matters whether your users are customers checking order status or field employees logging inspections across Pennsylvania. As a mobile app development company, we create native iOS and Android experiences alongside cross platform options when budgets demand efficiency. Flutter enables cross platform apps with a unified codebase, while Kotlin is the standard for modern Android development and iOS applications utilize Swift and Apple's latest technologies. Enterprise mobile applications improve productivity and streamline workflows, especially for teams that operate away from a desk.
- Native iOS and Android experiences
- Offline friendly field operations
- Real time status and approvals
- Secure authentication and access
- Analytics on in app behavior
- 03Web Application Development
> BROWSER FIRST BUSINESS SYSTEMS <
Modern web application development puts critical tools right in the browser, accessible from any device without installation headaches. Scranton teams use our web apps to centralize operations, manage role based access for employees, and get real time reporting without calling someone for a spreadsheet export. We design every interface for performance, security, and clear workflows, so users spend less time clicking around and more time on meaningful work. Responsive layouts adapt to desktop, tablet, and mobile browsers without compromise.
- Centralized dashboards for operations
- Role based access for staff
- Real time reporting and insights
- Responsive layouts for any device
- Connections to internal tools and CRMs
- 04MVP Development
> LAUNCH AN MVP WITHOUT GUESSWORK <
An MVP is not a half finished product. It is the smallest version of your idea that lets you collect real feedback from real users. Scranton founders use our MVP development process to validate concepts before committing heavy resources. We help you choose what to ship now and what to leave for next phases, making technical decisions that keep future options open rather than trapping you in a dead end architecture. Custom software should be designed to evolve with business growth, and that thinking starts at the MVP stage.
- Core features mapped to one audience
- Fast feedback from early users
- Simple yet reliable architecture
- Room for future modules
- Clear path from MVP to product
- 05Product Development
> FROM IDEA TO WORKING PRODUCT <
Feature development does not stop at launch. We partner with Scranton product owners and founders through discovery workshops, roadmapping, and ongoing technical strategy to turn ideas into complete digital products. Every initiative gets treated as a product, not a one time project, which means we are always thinking about what comes next. Continuous UX refinement and data informed decision making keep the product aligned with project goals and actual user engagement patterns.
- Product vision translated into features
- Roadmaps aligned with funding stages
- Continuous UX refinement
- Data informed decision making
- Technical choices with long view
- 06API Integration Services
> MAKE YOUR SYSTEMS TALK TO EACH OTHER <
Disconnected platforms force employees into double entry, copy paste routines, and fragmented reporting. Ready made software frequently struggles to communicate with legacy databases or specialized tools, which is exactly where API integration work shines. We design and implement connections between ERPs, CRMs, and third party services so that data flows automatically and securely. Clear documentation means your internal developers can maintain and extend integrations without depending on us forever.
- Unified data across platforms
- Event driven communication between apps
- Secure authentication for partners
- Monitoring of integration health
- API documentation for your developers

WHAT CHANGED IN PRACTICE
Clients didn’t stay because of promises. They stayed because delivery became predictable, ownership was clear, and the product kept moving forward after launch.
- 01Direct Access to Senior Engineers
From the first conversation, you speak directly with senior engineers who understand architecture, custom software design, and complex integration. There are no account managers translating your words into something a junior developer might misunderstand. This shortens feedback loops dramatically. Questions get precise answers, not "let me check with the team" delays. Scranton clients tell us this is one of the first things they notice. Fewer layers means fewer errors, faster milestones, and a team that actually understands your systems.
- 02Predictable Delivery
Every project is broken into small, visible milestones so Scranton stakeholders can track progress without guessing. We run frequent demos and share clear status updates at a regular cadence. When unknowns surface, and they always do, we flag them early and present options rather than hiding behind a timeline that quietly slips. Risk management is part of the process, not an afterthought. This discipline applies to custom software projects of any size. The goal is simple: no surprises, no drama, just steady and transparent execution.
- 03Built to Last Past Launch
Software that works on launch day but falls apart six months later is not a success. We write clean code, maintain thorough documentation, and use modular design so that new features or integrations do not require rewriting everything. Scranton teams can extend their systems years after the initial engagement, with or without us. This approach reduces long term maintenance costs and protects your investment. Whether the work involves data engineering pipelines or cloud services infrastructure, the same thinking applies. Custom software belongs entirely to the owner, and that means it should remain maintainable and extendable without unexpected vendor price hikes.
- 04No Babysitting Required
We manage details, unblock decisions, and surface risks before they become problems. Clients do not have to chase us for updates, rewrite specifications, or micromanage daily tasks. When project requirements shift, we suggest options and present tradeoffs clearly. Bespoke software engineering often requires partnerships with regional firms or specialized remote agencies, and the difference between a good partner and a frustrating one comes down to proactive ownership. Our collaboration with Scranton product owners and managers means you stay informed without doing our job for us. Your time is better spent on your business, not on babysitting your development team.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about working with SoftDoes. Can’t find an answer?
How is communication handled for ongoing software projects?
We use a mix of video calls, chat, and email to stay connected with Scranton stakeholders. Most engagements include weekly touchpoints where we review progress, surface blockers, and plan the next sprint. Daily check ins happen when the pace demands it. Meetings include the engineers doing the actual work, not intermediaries. Decisions and action items are captured in shared documents so nothing falls through the cracks. The goal is transparency and accessibility for everyone involved, regardless of role.
What types of projects are a good fit for SoftDoes as an engineering partner?
We handle a wide range: complex web applications, mobile applications, integration heavy systems, and modernization of legacy platforms. Both new initiatives and projects that need a fresh technical approach fit well. Shorter engagements and long term partnerships are equally welcome. The common thread is that the work benefits from strong architecture, thoughtful execution, and senior engineering involvement. If your project needs more than a quick website or a CMS template, we are likely a good match. Custom solutions can be tailored to specific industry needs, from logistics tracking to customer engagement portals.
Do you build MVPs or only large systems for new digital products?
We handle both. Many Scranton founders start with an MVP to test a concept with minimal investment, then expand based on what they learn from real users. Our approach to lean first releases is about making smart technical choices early so nothing needs to be thrown away later. An MVP is not a throwaway prototype; it is the foundation of your product. Hybrid app development allows simultaneous reach to Android and iOS users even at the MVP stage, maximizing early user engagement. We also run extended programs for organizations that already know their full scope and need execution at a larger level.
How do you handle scope and changes in custom projects?
Requirements change. That is normal. When it happens, we run a structured impact analysis: what does the change affect in terms of timeline, effort, and features? Scranton clients see the tradeoffs clearly before any decision is made. Smaller iterations reduce the risk of surprise outcomes because each cycle delivers something tangible and testable. We document changes and update estimates so you maintain full visibility. The result is flexibility without chaos, which is especially important for custom applications that implement security protocols tailored to data compliance needs.
What happens after launch for a new application?
Launch is a milestone, not the finish line. We run an initial hypercare phase where we monitor performance, fix anything that surfaces under real usage, and respond quickly to incidents. After that, we settle into a steady rhythm of updates, small improvements, and performance tuning. Ongoing maintenance and enhancements keep the system relevant and reliable. Total cost of ownership can favor custom solutions in the long term due to ownership and the ability to adjust without starting over. Scranton teams can choose ongoing partnership or transition support to internal employees.
Will we own the code and IP for our systems?
Yes. You retain full ownership of the code, data structures, and intellectual property. This is written into our contracts and reflected in how we manage repositories. Custom software belongs entirely to the owner, which means you can continue development with your own team or another partner at any time. If shared libraries or open source components are involved, we document that clearly so there are no ambiguities. Working with a local development partner like SoftDoes allows for seamless communication and understanding of regulations around IP. Your code is yours.
What makes SoftDoes different from a typical software agency?
The difference starts with who does the work. Senior engineers are involved from day one, not just during a pitch meeting. We focus on thoughtful architecture, predictable execution, and long term value rather than rushing to close a ticket. There are no heavy account layers between you and the people writing your code. Our core principles of clarity, focus, quality, ownership, and partnership are not slogans; they shape how every engagement runs. Custom built solutions focus on your actual business rather than forcing you into someone else's template. Custom software can enhance customer engagement and satisfaction precisely because it is designed around your users, not a generic persona.
How do you price custom software development in Scranton?
Pricing follows a clear discovery and scoping process. We start by understanding what you need, how complex the work is, and what your priorities are. Common models include project based pricing and ongoing engagement structures. Estimates break down effort by phase so Scranton clients gain transparency into what they are paying for and why. Custom software development supports long term planning because the engagement structure adapts to your budget and timeline. A higher upfront cost and longer implementation time is associated with custom software, but the investment pays off through full ownership, adaptability, and elimination of recurring license fees that come with off the shelf alternatives.
