1. Start with the firm’s actual bottleneck
Custom software should begin with a repeated operational problem, not a list of fashionable features. Examples of candidate problems include re-entering intake information, manually routing new inquiries, maintaining a referral tracker or answering routine requests for case status. The relevant question is not whether a tool could be built. It is whether the current process is important enough, repeated enough and defined enough to justify a custom build. Bosseo’s published product information describes client portals, intake tools, internal dashboards, referral trackers, document intake flows, calculators and integrations as possible build types. The appropriate choice for your firm remains a scoping decision.
Recommended approach
Bring one process that staff currently perform by hand. Describe who touches it, what information moves, where it pauses and what must happen next. Do not begin by assuming that every existing system should be replaced.
