Turnkey Software with Agile Methodologies

Our main business is software development. We prefer to work closely together with our clients, combining their knowledge of their business and market with our development skills to meet their business goals. Some of our software development is to deliver turnkey software solutions developed using agile methodologies.

We call it turnkey development because we work closely with the client to understand the requirement and then deliver a complete, ready-to-use solution. We stay involved throughout, with frequent check-ins and reviews, so the work stays aligned with real needs and the result does what it is meant to do.

Define and de-risk

  • We start by understanding what the software must achieve in real use, not just what it should say in a specification.
  • We map the processes, roles, data, exceptions, and constraints such as security, compliance, reporting, and performance.
  • Where it helps, we run short pre-studies and create simple prototypes so assumptions are tested early.
  • This reduces the risk of building something that is technically fine but operationally wrong.

Build and integrate

  • Turnkey does not mean “standalone”.
  • We build the application and the surrounding pieces that make it usable: integrations, migrations, admin tools, audit trails, and monitoring.
  • If you have existing software, we can modernise it in steps to avoid a risky big-bang switch.
  • We also design for maintainability, so the system can be improved without becoming dependent on a few individuals.

Launch and support

  • A turnkey delivery is only successful when operations are stable.
  • We prepare for go-live with realistic test scenarios, data migration rehearsals, and practical runbooks.
  • After launch, we support and maintain the solution, handle fixes and improvements, and keep dependencies up to date.
  • If your team will take over parts of the system, we plan the handover deliberately, with documentation and knowledge transfer that matches your ways of working.

What is turnkey software?

Turnkey software is a system or solution that is ready to use immediately upon installation and requires no further modification or configuration. We create this type of software to meet specific business needs. They provide a complete, out-of-the-box solution that helps organisations streamline operations, reduce setup times, and lower costs associated with software deployment. Turnkey software is specifically useful in scenarios where speed and simplicity are critical, like in small businesses or within departments that do not have extensive IT resources or expertise in-house.

What is Agile Development

Agile development is a methodology used in software engineering that promotes continuous iteration and collaboration in the development process. It focuses on adaptability and is a flexible process that enables teams to respond to changing requirements or challenges during a project. Agile development typically involves breaking down projects into small, manageable units. These are known as “sprints” or “iterations”. We frequently reassess and adjust the requirements as the work progresses. This approach encourages teamwork, accountability, and customer feedback, leading to much better results and more efficient processes. Agile methodologies include Scrum, Kanban, and Lean, each offering specific frameworks to support this dynamic approach to software development.

We develop bespoke solutions!

We develop, support, and maintain quality software. Our typical work includes creating bespoke turnkey solutions from scratch, re-engineering existing software, or migrating software to new platforms or architectures. We are also thorough when we test our software to ensure it meets all functional and non-functional requirements.

As a service business, we prioritise our clients’ objectives above all else, always ensuring our customers’ needs come first. Our approach includes establishing internal controls to complete even the most complex development projects on time and within budget, with flexibility and responsiveness at the centre of our operations.

Our team employs agile methodologies to adapt fast to project demands. Through continuous collaboration, we ensure the achievement of every project goal. Keeping ahead with the latest developments, our broad and growing portfolio of technical competencies reflects our commitment to excellence and innovation.

Turnkey Software in action

Turnkey Software Solutions we have developed

The following are just a few examples of what we have developed as Turnkey Solutions using Agile methodologies:

  • We developed a complete membership and event software for the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS).
  • We developed a complete multi-tenant system for Clarendo, helping their clients manage their ISO management systems.
  • We have developed a novel crowdlending platform for a peer-to-peer lending company that disrupted traditional borrowing and lending mechanisms.
  • We support the world’s largest market research companies with software development and maintenance needs.

We have completed development projects for international clients in many market sectors, including e-commerce, public services, transportation, market research, medicine, power supply, test and measurement, education, financial services and manufacturing.  We commit our resources from the start of a project until it is finished.  Our business analysts provide analysis, pre-studies and design.  We use proven development processes to reduce any risk associated with offshore development.

Our Software Developers

Our first-class, well-educated, English-speaking software engineers are fully committed to our customers’ development work and trained in relevant software technologies and how to manage cross-cultural communication. We always try to deliver quality that is far beyond your expectations. We have an exceptionally low attrition rate. Our delivery centre is located in South India and is 5 ½ hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (4 ½ hours for CET).  During the European summer time, there is a one-hour difference.  This is an essential advantage for our European customers. You can reach us in the office for part of the day, and sometimes we can even work for you while you are asleep.

What is “turnkey software” in practical terms?

Turnkey software is a complete solution delivered ready for real use, including the supporting pieces that organisations often forget: configuration, roles and permissions, admin tools, reporting, integrations, and reliable operations. It should not feel like a “project kit” that still needs weeks of assembly.

Does turnkey software mean no configuration at all?

Not usually. Most organisations still need sensible configuration such as user roles, business rules, email templates, and data imports. The difference is that the solution is delivered with a clear setup path and works as intended without extra development just to make it usable.

How is turnkey software different from buying a standard off-the-shelf product?

Off-the-shelf products are designed for a broad market and you adapt your processes to the tool. Turnkey bespoke software is built around your workflows, data, and constraints, and then delivered as a complete operational system, including integrations and support.

Why combine turnkey delivery with agile methodologies?

Because most organisations discover important details once they see working software. Agile delivery allows early feedback, regular demonstrations, and course corrections without losing control. Turnkey ensures that the end result is still a complete, supported solution.

Which agile methods do you use: Scrum, Kanban, or something else?

We adapt to what suits the work. Scrum is common for new builds with clear sprint goals. Kanban often fits enhancements and ongoing change. For regulated environments or larger stakeholders, we may use a hybrid approach that adds governance without turning the project into paperwork.

How do you prevent scope creep in an agile project?

We keep a clear backlog and define priorities with the client. Changes are welcome, but they are traded against time, cost, or lower-priority items. Regular reviews make progress visible, so decisions are made early rather than at the end.

What do you typically include in a turnkey delivery beyond the application itself?

Common inclusions are integrations, migration scripts, admin screens, audit trails, monitoring, automated deployments, documentation, and practical runbooks. We also include training and handover activities when the client will operate parts of the solution.

Can you re-engineer existing software rather than rebuilding everything?

Yes. Many clients prefer step-by-step modernisation so the business can keep running. We can refactor, replace modules, improve performance and security, and migrate data in stages, reducing risk compared to a full replacement in one go.

How do you handle testing to ensure quality?

We test throughout the project, not only at the end. That typically includes automated tests, integration testing, and realistic end-to-end scenarios. We also cover non-functional requirements such as performance, security, reliability, and auditability where relevant.

How do you manage offshore delivery risk and communication?

We use clear written specifications where needed, regular demonstrations, and well-defined roles and responsibilities. We also put emphasis on cross-cultural communication and predictable routines, so decisions are recorded and misunderstandings do not linger.

What industries have you delivered turnkey solutions for?

We have delivered projects across sectors such as membership and events, compliance and ISO management, financial services, e-commerce, public services, transportation, market research, medicine, education, manufacturing, and test and measurement.

What happens after go-live?

After launch we can provide support and maintenance, handle fixes and enhancements, keep dependencies up to date, and monitor the solution in real operation. If your team will take over, we plan the handover with documentation and knowledge transfer to make the transition smooth.
