1. Start with the bottleneck your Union office can describe precisely
A custom build is easier to evaluate when the problem is stated as a repeated action. Examples include retyping consultation information, checking a shared inbox, updating a matter status in several places, or maintaining a referral spreadsheet. Bosseo’s public Custom Software page describes client portals, intake tools, internal dashboards, referral fee trackers and speed-to-lead tools as possible build types. It also says the process begins with describing the bottleneck in plain English rather than preparing a requirements document.
Recommended approach
Bring one recurring task to the consultation. Write down who performs it, what starts it, which systems or files they touch, where it pauses and what a satisfactory result would look like. If the problem cannot be observed or described, it is not ready to become a custom-software scope.
