Desuvit

Cloud-first software built as reusable pieces

Desuvit builds business software, mobile apps and web applications, and describes itself as an IT adviser and partner to its clients rather than a vendor. Its working line is a local presence with global reach, meaning each client has a local contact while a wider team stands behind the delivery. The company quotes an average of seven years of experience among its developers and an average response time of eight hours.

A cloud-first way of building

Desuvit says it takes a cloud-first approach to software and builds on microservices, a combination it credits with keeping applications available, scalable and extensible. It treats IT as a necessity for modern businesses rather than a luxury, and says its aim is cost-effective solutions with results the client can see.

What it delivers

• IT solutions development, meaning custom software for business needs.
• Mobile app development.
• Web development, covering websites and web applications.

Reusable components

The company explains its method with a building-brick analogy. It develops software from reusable pieces that can be used again on different projects, which it says delivers software faster and saves clients time and money. For fixed-price projects it offers a flexible payment model tied to milestones, under which the client pays when the company delivers.

Examples of its projects

Replacing paper timesheets

One client was a grocery business in Europe, established in 2010 and operating online. It approached Desuvit to replace its paper-based timesheet process with a cloud-based, paperless system and to create a central platform on which more features could be developed. The goals were simpler attendance tracking, easy recording of employee availability and a full overview of each person's timesheet. Desuvit reports that the result raised productivity by 70 percent and saved more than 325 sheets of paper every month.

An appointment booking app for healthcare

Another project was a mobile app for a client that runs a software-as-a-service online platform for healthcare, where patients find doctors and book appointments at any time and manage appointments for themselves and their families. The web platform already offered an easy booking experience, so the brief was an iOS and Android app with the same or better usability and a pleasing look. Desuvit lists these results for the app: a 34 percent rise in appointment bookings, a 23 percent rise in user registrations, a 17 percent fall in missed appointments and a 22 percent increase in user engagement.

Working relationship

The company says it wants long, trusting relationships with clients that go beyond a single project, and it positions its team as a continuing source of IT advice.
