Custom Software Development
Turn one business workflow into an application your team can review and use. Burhani engineers prototype the flow, gather user feedback and build the agreed first release.
The starting point
Start with one workflow. A prototype lets users review the screens and decisions, so your team can agree what the application needs to do.
Check permissions, data rules and critical integrations alongside the screens. A prototype and a live application need different acceptance checks.
Define one complete task for the first release. Keep later enhancements in the backlog and assess new requests against the agreed scope, cost and schedule.
What the work includes
Our rapid application development services combine prototypes, user review and iterative development. Your team makes decisions about the workflow; our engineers design, build, integrate and test it. Start with a defined first release, then use feedback to decide what comes next.
Explore the delivery processAgree the users, workflow, acceptance checks and exclusions. Identify who can approve decisions and changes.
Review the main screens and interactions with the people doing the task before extending the design.
Build the records, validation, permissions and status changes needed to complete the agreed task.
Test the required connections and agree how the application handles unavailable systems or rejected records.
Review working increments against realistic scenarios. Distinguish defects, usability improvements and additional scope.
Plan deployment, access, documentation and handover. Agree support responsibilities before release.
A request portal, approval tool or customer application can be a useful starting point. Choose a task with clear users and review it from submission to completion, including missing information, unavailable reviewers and failed connections.

RAD is a delivery approach: prototype, review with users and develop through iterations. An MVP is a limited product for testing an assumption. Low-code is a technology choice. Your integration, access and maintenance requirements help determine the appropriate approach.
Agree how AI tools may be used and what code or data they may receive before development starts. Engineers remain responsible for architecture, integration and testing. An AI feature inside your application needs its own scope and acceptance checks.
Uncertain legacy interfaces, data migration or complex access rules may need technical discovery first. Review system integration requirements and the factors behind a custom software project timeline before fixing a release date.
Explore how Burhani has built applications around specific users and business workflows:
Agree what the engagement must deliver. The checks for a review prototype differ from those for an application people depend on.
On small screens, scroll horizontally to compare both options.
| Decision | Prototype for review | First live release |
|---|---|---|
| Main purpose | Check a proposed workflow and gather feedback. | Let an agreed user group complete a defined task. |
| Data and connections | May use sample records or clearly identified simulated responses. | Needs agreed data handling and tested connections. |
| Access and errors | Can illustrate roles and error states. | Needs implemented permissions, validation and failure handling. |
| Acceptance | Users can review the flow and decide what should change. | Passes agreed acceptance checks and has an operational owner. |

View serviceMap the workflow, users and dependencies. Agree what the first release must do.
Use representative scenarios to make the key interactions and missing steps visible.
Gather decisions from the people doing the task and update the agreed design.
Implement the application and integrations, reviewing working increments with your team.
Test permissions, validation, exceptions and the complete task against the acceptance criteria.
Release to the agreed environment, complete the handover and prioritise feedback from actual use.
Share the workflow and release you need. We assess the scope and dependencies before proposing an engagement. Pricing, delivery, ownership and support terms are agreed for your project.
Timing depends on the workflow, integrations and release requirements. We assess these during scoping and include time for user reviews, system access and testing in the proposed schedule.
Involve someone who performs the task and someone who can approve scope and priorities. Agree review points so feedback can guide the next increment.
Yes. We assess changes against the agreed scope, explain their effect on cost and timing, and confirm the next increment before proceeding.
It depends on what the prototype was designed to test. Some guide a separate build; others can be extended after architecture, data handling and release requirements are assessed.
Bring the task you want to improve, a sample of the current process and the systems involved. Tell us who will review the application and any launch constraints.
Tell us who will use the application, what they need to complete and which systems it must connect. Discuss the workflow and review points with our engineers.
