Design Soft

Ready-made business systems sit alongside custom programming at Design Soft, a software developer from Heredia, Costa Rica, which has been building applications since 2003. The company writes for its market in Spanish and says it serves a large number of customers around the world.

Systems for particular trades

Several products are aimed at specific kinds of small business, and most include electronic invoicing:

• A system for dental clinics that keeps patient histories and tooth records, issues virtual prescriptions, sends notifications and manages appointments.
• A point-of-sale package for restaurants covering tables, additions to orders, kitchen printing and general management.
• A point-of-sale system for hardware shops that controls inventory, customers, expenses and invoicing.
• Workshop systems for motorcycle and vehicle repairers, with inventory, parts, customers, employees, vehicle reception, appointments, body and paint work, quotes and billing.
• A sales system that issues quotes, handles layaway and credit sales, and records purchases and suppliers.
• A fast invoicing tool that works offline, prints and sends quotes.
• A service management system that handles breakdown reports with photos, scheduled service cuts, notifications, payments and payroll.

The company states that its electronic invoicing is available in thirteen countries.

Custom development from analysis to rollout

Design Soft also takes on custom projects. It says it will accompany a client from the analysis and design of the system through development, user interface and experience design, quality assurance, implementation and the close of the project. It works to keep each tool easy to understand and useful for many years.

Integrations

The company says it can connect outside services to a client's software. It mentions a billing API for creating, sending and managing invoices and tracking their payment through webhooks, an API for event participation data, and optimized real-time information search.

Keeping platforms current

It also updates and adapts existing platforms to more recent technology and security standards. Its site mentions work with AJAX interaction, version control, OpenCart online stores and hybrid cloud cost optimization, and it sells social media growth plans alongside its software.
