Custom software

Customized software is the solution when you run into the limitations of existing software. A free solution is quickly found online, but it rarely performs the way you want. We believe that software should do what you want and how you want it. You are in the lead, the software follows. Dolphiq develops custom software that fits seamlessly with you and your organization. Does that mean that 'tailor made' has to be expensive? We don't think so! Our solution is Qore.works the core for every tailor made solotoon we develop! By utilising Qore.works more time remains to spend on developing your specific wishes making your solution and organisation perform better.

Bringing your digital vision to life together

At Dolphiq, we believe in customization, but only when it's done right. We achieve this by clarifying our direction together in the initial (exploration) phase. Then, we work in 3-week blocks (construction phase) to create the solution, and after its completion, we ensure a smooth launch (delivery phase) and keep a vigilant eye through our monitoring. It's a moment to be proud of!

This entire process is conducted through Agile Scrum. This software development methodology enables us to efficiently produce a high-quality end product. We're big fans of Scrum! It's characterized by transparency, efficiency, and significant client involvement during the software development process. This way, we quickly arrive at the best solution.

A good solution starts with good collaboration.

Ultimately, good collaboration starts with people. To create beautiful things, you need the right people and the right atmosphere. We have a great team of experienced and driven professionals who are always thinking along and willing to go the extra mile.

Our core values

Core values form the heart of every organization, guiding collaborations, culture, and strategy. They are the unseen drivers that determine how our team works together, makes decisions, and presents itself to the outside world. Essentially, core values are the building blocks of our identity, inspiring both our employees and our clients.

A bit stubborn

If you're looking for a party that does exactly as you ask, then we are not the right fit for you. With more than 25 years of experience, we know very well what works and what doesn't. You can expect us to challenge you to think beyond and differently, and to help you create the most suitable solution.

Always transparent

We believe in collaboration and thus love to see our clients regularly at our office while we're developing for them. Our Agile mindset and process are completely transparent and allow for quick adjustments.

Above all, proud

Whether we're creating an inventory system with barcode scanners, an online chat application, or developing a system that contributes to a safer environment for young people involved with youth care, the goal is for us and our client to be proud of the result together.

In five steps to a successful outcome

Developing a well-functioning digital solution is no small feat. At Dolphiq, we believe in a structured approach and an intensive, but above all, transparent way of collaborating. Together with our clients, we aim to achieve a tailor-made solution through the following steps.

Exploring

Explore and understand

In this phase, we explore the collaboration and ensure understanding. Together, we look at desires and needs, problems, and opportunities. Often, after an initial acquaintance, there is a need for an in-depth workshop in which our team will challenge you to push the boundaries and thus arrive at a clear, shared goal. After this phase, we know enough to be able to provide a good price indication.

Planning

Planning and preparation

After the first phase, we proceed to create a schedule and can start to explore and prepare potential solutions. We ensure a clear overview of all major themes (Epics) and break them down into smaller units (User Stories). Everything is collected in an organized manner on our Scrum board in Jira. Each Epic and every Story is jointly discussed in detail, so we know what it needs to meet and where the priorities lie.

Development

Building and implementing

When we start building, we do so in 3-week blocks (Sprints). After each sprint, we deliver a tested and working component. We also decide at the beginning of each sprint if there is any work that needs further clarification or adjustment (Refinement) and which parts we will tackle in the next sprint (Sprint Planning).

After each sprint, we deliver a tested and working component

Once we have delivered all the work we have jointly determined, we can implement it in a production environment (Release). This can be a major delivery, but more often it happens in small incremental deliveries so we can continue to improve continuously.

Monitoring

Monitoring and evaluating

Once we have delivered all the planned work and it is running in production, active monitoring begins. All our applications are automatically monitored for potential issues. After the application has been active for a while, we start to evaluate and identify where there might be room for improvement.

Improving

Continuous Improvement and maintenance

If we've learned anything in the past years, it's that an application is never finished! Whether it involves minor functional improvements or adding completely new functionalities, software development never stops. Furthermore, just like a house or a car, every piece of software needs maintenance. Our team is fully equipped for the long-term support, maintenance, and improvement of our applications. This is how we keep our digital solutions up-to-date, secure, and fast.

The Dolphiq team is customer-friendly, easy to approach, and versatile. Even with challenging problems, the best solutions are always sought with the necessary perspective and humor.

SKJ - Business Information System

The Foundation for the Quality Register for Youth (Stichting Kwaliteitsregister Jeugd or SKJ) acts as the overarching body for quality registration in the youth domain. Due to the merging of several registers, there has been a desire for a custom-developed system for the registration of youth professionals.

The Quality Register for Youth (SKJ) is the professional register for youth professionals in the Netherlands. As an independent executive organization, they are responsible for the legal registration of university or higher professional education-trained youth professionals who work in complex and high-risk situations. They assess whether youth professionals meet the criteria for (re)registration and maintain a system of professional supervision.

International Student Services

Platform for students

International Student Services (ISS) is an online platform where international students can arrange all their basic needs before they come to the Netherlands. They can purchase various services via this platform, such as an OV chip card, telephone subscription or a bank account. In this way they start well prepared for their study time in the Netherlands.

Custom software development doesn't have to be expensive or complex

6 May 2024 by Alan Linnenbank

Finding the right software that perfectly meets the unique requirements of your business is crucial, but can be challenging. Custom software offers solutions that are specifically tailored to your needs, but also comes with disadvantages. At Dolphiq, we recognize and understand these challenges, and based on our years of experience, we have developed Qore.works to effectively address them. Through our agile approach, we can meet your software needs flexibly and efficiently.
