Our Services

Turn your vision into a reality with our custom application development services.

Common Sense Software aims to act as your partner, working with you every step of the way from discovery to deployment.

Our experienced team of software developers know how to work with your business leaders to understand your unique project needs. If you’re wondering how long it will take to build you an application or how much it might cost, please reach out!

Discovery

Everything starts with you. In the initial phases of your project, our goal is to understand your needs, and to build out a project plan that works for you. We will work hand in hand with your business leaders to define a clear vision of what you want to build.

Planning & Design

Knowing what to build is the first step on the road to building something. After we’ve got a clear understanding of the project, our next phase is to break the project down into comprehensible, and manageble chunks. We will define minimum viable products, understand the order in which the various pieces of your project need to be built, and plan a roadmap to get you to the finish line.

Development & Testing

Common Sense Software will always focus on quality and best practices during development. We will always write tests alongside the code we develop to ensure correctness, and regression prevention.

Our team embraces an Agile methodology in order to provide you with regular updates as well as to position ourselves to quickly pivot as your project requirements change over time.

Many of the recent disruptive businesses in a wide variety of industries have used Machine Learning and AI.

Common Sense Software can help you turn your idea into a reality. We believe that software should feel like magic. We like using AI to solve problems — if it doesn’t get in the users’ way. It should just work.

Background Processing Pipelines

Every machine learning solution needs a processing pipeline, and a corresponding UI to let your users track the processing progress. These systems can be time-consuming and take your time away from your models, labelling and other development tasks.

Let us help you by drawing on our wealth of experience building similar systems. Common Sense Software can free up your development team to do the work your business cares about the most.

Mentorship Sets Us Apart

Keep your existing applications humming along by employing our dedicated teams of maintenance engineers. We bring years of experience working with legacy software systems to the table.

Whether you are looking to add new features or simply stabilize an existing application for future resilience, Common Sense Software can help!

New Feature Development

One of the great challenges of working with legacy applications is adding new features. It can feel very risky to modify a system that has been working well without intervention.

This is where our team’s experience can provide major value. Having worked extensively with legacy systems, we have the skills needed to jump into your existing code base, understand how it’s working, and add functionality with well-tested, resilient code. Let us boost your confidence while we extend your maintenance-mode applications.

Application Performance

Very often applications that once performed well suffer performance degradations as your user base or data quantity grow. In the best case, this might slow down the user experience of your application; in the worst case, users may begin hitting timeout limits at various points in your infrastructure, making part or all of the application unusable.

Common Sense Software’s team can help you instrument or otherwise profile your application and database queries to identify the areas in your application logic that are causing the most problems, and then work diligently to address these issues.

Dependency Management & Application Modernization

Despite their best efforts, letting legacy applications’ dependencies fall behind can happen to any team. IIt can feel very dangerous to address those concerns, but sometimes it is unavoidable if you want to push the application forward. Rely on our team’s experience to identify the potential risks of such an upgrade, and avoid the inevitable security and performance consequences of ignoring the issue.
