1. Start with the Addison workflow, not a feature list
A custom build should begin with a process your team can describe precisely. “We re-enter consultation details,” “we lose track of a follow-up,” or “clients ask for the same status update” is more useful than a request for a broad platform. Bosseo’s public Custom Software page describes discovery on the firm’s actual workflow, scoped design and build, a working version early, onboarding, and iteration after launch. Those capabilities make a bottleneck-based discussion more practical than choosing features in the abstract. Because Addison is a municipality within Dallas County, identify which office, team and service area the workflow belongs to before treating it as a firm-wide requirement.
Recommended approach
Bring one recurring manual task to the review. Record who performs it, which systems they touch, what information they need, where the process stops, and what a satisfactory result would look like. Ask whether the proposed tool solves that task without creating a second process for staff.
