"They are unique in their space.”

“Normally when I work with a software development company, they promise me the world and I only get 80% of what I’m looking for. SPARK delivered 100% of what I was looking for without me having to push. They are honest people who do what they say they will. They will take the time to do the hard part of “understanding what we truly want” and then develop it. They are unique in their space.”

FAQ

We’ve built hundreds of integrations to systems businesses use every day, such as ERPs, Accounting/Financial, CRMs, Order Management, Inventory, and more. We are also able to work with both structured and unstructured data sources to create a unified data solution, including legacy systems.

We work with a variety of technologies to build robust data management solutions, including MySQL, MSSQL, PostgresSQL, Directus, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure Data Factory, Microsoft Power BI, and more. We also work with legacy technologies such as Microsoft Access, MS Visual Basic60, Crystal Reports, Classic ASP,  VB.NET, and more. See our full list of technology tools here.

Data security is a critical component of all our data management solutions. We implement robust security measures at the data layer, including access controls, encryption, and auditing capabilities, to protect sensitive information within your data warehouse or data lake. We’re a HIPAA-compliant company and follow these rigorous standards for all our projects to safeguard your valuable data.

Ensuring data quality and integrity is a critical part of our process. We implement robust data validation, cleansing procedures, and continuous monitoring to maintain the accuracy and consistency of your data. This ensures your data remains reliable and trustworthy.

Scalability is a core consideration in our design process. We leverage technologies like AWS and design our data solutions to be inherently scalable as your business grows and data volumes increase. 

Our goal is to build solutions that are uniquely yours. We will clearly outline the intellectual property rights in our agreements, ensuring that you retain ownership of the custom code and proprietary elements of the software we develop specifically for your business.

At SPARK, we build custom data management solutions that range anywhere from $25,000 to $250,000+. We know that’s a large range! Data project costs vary based on features, complexity, technology, and integrations. For each project, we provide custom quotes after understanding your unique requirements and budget. Before we begin a project, we provide a detailed project scope and timeline to avoid unexpected costs and roadblocks. Learn more about our transparent pricing practices here.

When building custom data management solutions, project timelines can vary from a few months to 12+ months, depending on scope, complexity, and integrations. Our process starts with a detailed “Strategy & Planning” phase to thoroughly understand your needs, which allows us to provide a more accurate timeline based on your scope and budget.

Our project management approach emphasizes transparency and continuous communication. Throughout your project, you can expect weekly updates on progress and regular check-ins with our project managers to ensure you’re fully involved and informed during the entire process.

SPARK offers “Continuous Enhancement & Support” plans that include: ongoing maintenance, bug fixes, proactive performance monitoring, and potential future enhancements to ensure your custom software remains robust, up-to-date, and continues to meet your evolving business needs. 

 

Our agile approach allows for flexibility in managing scope changes as business needs evolve. When new requirements emerge, we work collaboratively with you to assess their impact on the project timeline and budget. We prioritize clear communication and transparency to ensure any adjustments are mutually agreed upon and understood.

For your project, we will discuss potential costs related to ongoing support, maintenance, and any necessary third-party licenses or infrastructure (if applicable) during our initial discussions, so you have a complete financial picture before working with SPARK.
