Software For Windows

The software on the left is CARAT Remind1st, an example of our software that runs in the Windows operating system. It is usually installed into the computer that it will be used. You can either use it in a standalone computer or install it in a server in a network where other computers can access it.

The program is self-contained and database files are stored externally as individual files in the same directory as the program. Since all required files for the software are in the same directory, moving it from computer to computer is very straightforward.

If your computer or your hard disk fails, it is just a simple matter of copying from your backups to the new computer or hard disk. No complicated processes or installation is necessary.

Windows based software are used at fixed locations and their data are not meant to be shared with offices or branches from other locations. You cannot typically use them over the Internet.

Technical support for these type of software are usually more involved and complicated because the support process includes the computer(s), routers, printers, operating system and third party software like anti-viruses.

Licensing and support costs are also higher.

Web Applications

These software offer the greatest flexibility in terms of usage, cost savings and data sharing. The screenshot on the left is of CARSA Client Access Manager, our web application to allow users to download updated installers for their CARAT software.

Web applications can be used from within and outside the office, do not require installation and allow their data to be shared by authorised users from anywhere.

Another advantage of web applications is that you can use them from Windows, Android, MacOS or Linux operating systems via their web browsers in a multitude of hardware devices.

Licensing and support costs are lower because the application resides at one place and fixes can be carried out almost immediately without having to prepare patch files.

If you have multiple offices, warehouses and locations or where data sharing between holding, subsidiary and associate companies are needed, a web application is the ideal software to use.

Off-the-shelf web applications are only available online while customised software can have the option of installation in your local server if higher performance, added data capacity, physical security and scalability is required.

Custom Software Development

If you have a need for customised software for Windows or the web, we have the expertise to develop them for you.

For example, the program shown on the left manages image and video files that will be shown on monitors displayed in shopping malls and restaurants. It also manages the shop numbers and directory information of tenants within an office block or mall and these are meant to be searchable from a touch screen information counter.

We have also completed customised software development projects for the following industries, among others:-

Insurance
Property management
VoIP call services invoicing and management
Materials Resource Planning (MRP)
Brick manufacturing management and invoicing
Egg farm
Travel agency
Classroom online courses
and more...

Our prices are reasonable and our after-sales service and support is top notch and professional. Contact us to discuss your needs. You will be glad you did.
