Windows Desktop Applications
Desktop software for work that stays on the PC
Windows Desktop Applications
Some work runs better as a Windows application: counter billing, factory floor data entry, label printing, or tools that talk to scanners, scales and other hardware. We build line of business software for Windows, with screens made for fast data entry and a database that several PCs on your network can share. We also look after older Windows applications your staff still rely on every day, or replace them in stages. New applications are built with Electron, with the screens in React or Angular.
What We Deliver
What's included in Windows Desktop Applications.
Data entry screens
Clear, keyboard-friendly screens designed for staff who enter data all day.
Hardware integration
Barcode scanners, receipt and label printers, weighing scales and other devices connected to the software.
Shared databases
A database on one PC or shared across your network, with backups and multi-user access set up correctly.
Modernising old software
Rebuilding older Windows applications on current tools, without losing the workflows people know.
Installers and updates
Simple installers and an update process, so new versions reach every PC without manual copying.
User roles and audit trail
Logins, permissions and a record of who changed what, for software that handles money or stock.
Our Process
How the work runs, step by step.
Workflow study
We sit with the people who will use the software, on site where that can be arranged or on a video call, to understand their daily work and the hardware involved.
Screen and data design
We design the screens and database around that workflow and review them with you before building.
Development
We build in stages and give you test versions to try on your own machines.
Testing with your hardware
Before rollout we test with your real printers, scanners and network, on site where that can be arranged or remotely.
Rollout and support
We install the software, train your staff and agree with you how fixes and changes are handled after launch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Windows Desktop Applications.
A desktop app makes sense when the work depends on local hardware, has to keep running without internet, or needs very fast data entry. If a web app would serve you better, we will say so.
It depends on how it was built. We start by reviewing the code and how it is used, then tell you whether to keep maintaining it, fix specific problems or replace it in stages.
Usually. We check your Windows versions and hardware during the workflow study and tell you early if anything needs upgrading.
Yes. A shared database on your network lets several PCs work on the same data at the same time.
