Have you ever heard of the KISS principle? It stands for "Keep It Simple, Stupid" and though we try to avoid criticizing the intelligence of our customers and colleagues, there is value in the message. We believe complicated software can be a real pain, and that's why we're all about creating straightforward and easy-to-use software that simply put, gets the job done.
Many businesses fall into the trap of thinking they need to start from scratch and reinvent the wheel every time they want to solve a business problem with software. Too much effort and cost toward a solution without clearly defining the problem results in a convoluted mess that causes more problems than it solves.
That's where the KISS principle comes in. We believe that sometimes, simple is more than enough to solve your business problem. Custom software development doesn't have to be a lengthy, complicated process that drains your resources. By focusing on simplicity and usability, we can create software solutions that are tailored to your specific needs and integrate seamlessly into your existing workflows. We took this logic and applied it to Ablesoft Core, the baseline in which we build applications. Instead of repeatedly building the same features that underpin many of our customer's applications we re-use the pieces that do not require customization
Copy, Paste, Errors, Repeat…
Here's a real-life example of the KISS principle in action: a manufacturer in the Midwest was struggling with a production report that was causing them more headaches than it was worth. The report, which was based on an Excel spreadsheet, required a lot of tedious copying and pasting of data. This process often led to franticly resolving mistakes before sharing the report with the company's leadership.
Instead of creating a complicated new system from scratch, we applied the KISS principle. We took the existing report and converted it into an automated version that did all the heavy lifting. By streamlining the process and pulling the necessary data automatically, we eliminated the need for manual copying and pasting. The new system ran the necessary calculations automatically, which significantly reduced the risk of errors. The best part was that it was simple, efficient, and effective.
Keep it Simple, but Effective
At Ablesoft, we take the KISS principle seriously. We believe that custom software should be tailored to each client's specific needs and should integrate seamlessly into their existing workflows. We approach each project with a positive attitude, a bit of humor, and a creative mindset. We're not just here to solve problems – we're here to make the process enjoyable too.
