Choose what fits
Start with the work your team needs to do. iGears can assess open-source products, existing systems and suitable commercial services against your workflows, budget and support needs. Keep what works; identify the gaps before committing to a build.
Build the capabilities you need
When standard features fall short, iGears can design and develop extensions, customer portals, internal applications and approval workflows.Read more
Agree the user journeys and acceptance criteria, validate a small working version, then deliver in manageable stages.
Connect and maintain the whole solution
Connect your website, CRM, ERP, accounting and other systems through documented interfaces.Read more
Plan permissions, data ownership and failure handling alongside the features. Deployment, training, monitoring, updates and ongoing support can be included in the agreed scope.
Illustrative example: an Umbraco customer portal
Illustrative example, not a delivered project: Umbraco manages content; a custom portal handles requests and approvals; an integration connects your accounting system. Validate permissions, interfaces and workflows first.
Licence terms, costs and handover
Open-source components, custom code and commercial services have different terms. Agree the licence and source-code access for each part, account ownership, recurring charges and support responsibilities before delivery. Include deployment instructions, integration documentation, data export and a practical handover plan in the scope.
Common questions
Does everything have to be open source?
No. The solution can include open-source components, bespoke code and suitable commercial services. Each part needs a fit, cost and licence review.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes, subject to an assessment of available interfaces, access rights, data quality and support constraints. Integration or a phased change may be more useful than replacing everything.
