Custom Insurance Software Development

Custom Insurance Software Development

The largest custom insurance software development project we participated in was a national based (entire USA) project providing all public school district employees with insurance.

This provided encapsulated ALL major insurance providers.  The project had an immense amount of regulatory and union rules.  It covered renewals, coverage changes which varied per insurance provider each year, enrollment processes and filing deadlines.

The requirements document was comprised of 130 pages, highly detailed and professional detailed.  The project origin was to a professional software development firm who won a formal federal RFP contract.

When Campbell Custom Software Development was contacted, our client (a professional software development company) was behind schedule.  They had already missed to critical milestone drop dates.

Once contracted, Campbell Software vamped up the team, we divided the project into teams of developers to focus on specific technology layers and related functionalities as the requirements were complicated.  Within 2 months, working longer days and weekends, we developed hundreds of thousands of lines of code and got the project back on track.  In essence, we saved the project from a drastic fail.  Rachit (Campbell Custom Software Development VP) was incredible, his digestment of the requirement details was amazing.  Rachit visualized the layer requirements, the technical requirements and created teams to focus on pieces of the business retirements, as it is best to force focus due to the complex aspects of many technical projects within the overall business requirements of this project.  This turned out to be a wise decision that our client under-estimated.

This was a mid-size project (6 figures), we worked long days and weekends to save this project.

Custom Medical Software Development

Custom Medical Software Development

Campbell Custom Software Development designed and developed a complete HIPAA compliant medical portal doctors & patients and associated medical records system.  This project had a $300,000 project, we had 12 people working on this from concept, requirements definition collection, formalization of requirements, accept, development, project deliverable approval, production release and post production verification.  The project complexities involved compliance rules which varied per State.  For example, in a certain state, an audit record was required for 1 year, where as another state, the requirement was 3 years.  Or in one state, drug prescriptions per patient required insurance historical documentation, whereas other states do not.  As well, HIPPA security compliance required offsite backups and specific requirements for data retention which differed from other States in the USA.  Campbell Custom Software developed a selection of compliance rules that each portal (per state) must adhere to, ensuring that each State portal legally adhered to the rules of law.

We created a Medical Portal POC (proof of concept) for a Fertility clinic.  This project required protection against bot logins, bot logon attempt notification to users, automatic routing to never-never land when a bot attacked, user management, profile management, services content management and more.  Privacy of content and exposure was a primary concern due to the domain focus of the project.

We created a Medical Image data processing system (POC) for a hand held medical device used by a general practitioner that scans heart chambers and vales to identify heart disease.  This was a small POC project focusing on advanced image recognition technology. This project was unique in that the system could be populated with medial images related to different diseases and health conditions.  Using AI and advanced image recognition, we could identify health issues that could previously NOT be discovered until a surgeon cut you open.

Custom Mobility App Software Development

Custom Mobility App Software Development

POC iOS application intended for the US Chamber of Commerce, to automate visitor data collection with data consolidation across cities, regions and states.  This app eliminated the manual conversion of collecting hand written data and manually merging spreadsheets across regions, states and the country, with data being instantly consolidated across the nation.  This was a small project (5 figures).

A “No logon required” free social media mobile app to take pictures of public event posters (or marketing content) which were assigned categories, tagged with event name, location, dates, etc.  GEO lookups via US postal codes or GPS meta data within the image provided regional radius searching.  This allowed region visitors or tourists to instantly find activities of interest in their area via with keyword and category filtering (Night Life, Over 21, Family, Dining, etc.)  Monetization aspects included Ticket Master and poster advertisers).  A web portal provided back-end administration for event submission approvals.  This was a small project (5 figures).

Mobile Program Writer:  Subscription based automated mobile app generator for iOS, Android and Windows phones, eliminating the need to custom develop apps for major types of software products across all special interest categories.  Using a web portal, the subscriber selects App type, selects a theme style, custom branding, then defines or uploads content.  Then the three types of apps (iOS, Android and WinPhone) are generated (no programming required).  Think of this as an application that creates applications to be distributed on Google Play, the iStore and Windows store.  This was a small project.

Organize the unorganized local commerce market by providing the existing supply chain with mobile technology with auto-discovery of retailers, products and services, enabling direct interaction between the consumer & retailer, and facilitating the e-commerce process.  This was a small project (5 figures).

Custom Oil and Gas Software Development

Custom Oil and Gas Software Development

Campbell Custom Software Development has been involved with over 2 million dollars of custom Oil & Gas software development projects.  We created an advanced Oil & Gas field data collection system.  For this project, we were subcontracted by Enertia, a leading Oil & Gas focused solution provided.  Enertia contracted us due to our mobility technology experience and Oil & Gas development experience.  Enertia’s challenge was that to collect Oil and Gas data measurements from different equipment at each site, they previously created a custom application per site.  Imagine having to develop 1000’s of custom applications, each of which is specific to a certain field site.  The time lag to deliver a solution per field data collection site was not well received by their clients.  As such, Campbell Software provided a RESPONSIVE mobile application where a business specialist simply configured the hardware options per field data collection site.  Then, the mobility software would DYNAMICALLY adhere to the field data collection site definitions.  Within a few minutes, rather than months of effort to create a custom application, our system would self adjust and support the data collection process, per site.

The custom oil & gas software development project also managed other aspects, such as scheduling Oil & Gas field data collection operators for routes, route stops, collection points for tank inventory, well status, casing and tubing pressure, seals, downtime, water meters with automated sync to head office.  This is probably the worlds most advanced product of its type and it drastically reduced field data collection costs for oil companies.  As well, it eliminated months of delays (and programming costs) that were previously required. This was a large project (7 figures).  References available.

For numerous oil & gas companies, we have also provided custom programming to improve business process flow, verification processes and reporting.

Custom Point of Sale Software Development

Custom Point of Sale Software Development

Bill Bradley (VP at Campbell Custom Software Development) has performed over 1000 hospitality and retail POS (point of sale) integrations, configurations, customizations and installations throughout the US and Canada.  Gary Campbell, founder of Campbell Software, has performed 20 installations at night clubs, restaurants and hotels.

Gary Campbell has integrated back of the house management process with over 40 different POS products (all major brands such as Squirrel, Remanco, NCR, Tec, Panasonic, Casio, RMS, Aloha, etc).  From labor projected cost scheduling, food costing, liquor costing, perpetual inventory and variance reporting (food and liquor), accounting integration, payroll integration, cashout integration (server based, cashier based and blind cash-outs), Campbell Software understands the challenges of he hospitality industry.

Gary Campbell built an entire custom back of the house system for Comtrex cash register system, for all end of day reports, cash-outs & deposits, integrated with perpetual inventory, theoretical sales mix cost analysis and more.  This was a mid-size project (6 figures).

Gary has also worked closely with Squirrel, Remanco, Micros and other major point of sale systems to integrate advanced back-of-the-house management.

Being previously involved (prior to his transition as a Chef and Hotel consultant to software development), Gary understands the the challenges of the hospitality industry.  Gary understands the reality to eliminate and simplify processes as a hospitality industry career requires long hours.  As well as most career professionals in the hospitality industry lack a business degree.  By providing real word solutions to business challenges which eliminate effort and time to report and identify concerns, Gary has provided real world solutions to lead management to correct the issue by maximizing efficiency to reduce costs.

At Campbell Custom Software Development, we provide an online portal to clients, stakeholders, analysts and developers.  The system tracks requirements, tasks, % complete, meetings, milestones, time, billing, invoicing, risk management, discussions, etc.  Everything related to the project is located in one convenient online location.

We provide staging systems for clients, to experience, visualize and experience day to day progress.  We also provide clients with access to their private TFS (Team Foundation Server) source code repository, to compare check-ins against requirement tasks, assess effort, etc.  Also note we utilize the advanced security capabilities of TFS, ensuring ONLY the people assigned to the project have the access they need (readers, contributors, builders).

All of our servers have 6 layers of security:  AD security, Symantec Cloud AV, MS Forefront security, heavyweight commercial Cisco firewall, Port and IP lockouts (intrusion detection) and TFS security round out these layers.  Our network is comprised of Cisco routers, IBM hardware, commercial tape backups using Microsoft DPM, offsite backups, UPS and diesel backup protection, BGP routing with 4 GB’s of connectivity, SSD storage and 99.9% uptime guaranteed.  This enterprise class infrastructure ensures we have the tools and performance required to develop and protect a client’s IP.

Our developers adhere to our proven methodologies and business process, from architecture to coding, ensuring the codes are unit testable and loosely coupled.  All deliverables are verified via a recorded session, when a task is about to be closed and confirmed by our QA team, stakeholders can view the video recording of the deliverable confirmation.

We also utilize a silo approach to development for the UI, business logic and Data layers.

Custom Reservation Systems Software

Custom Reservation Systems Software

Campbell Custom Software Development has development custom reservation systems software for hotels and motels.  Across the hotel and motel industry, different custom systems are proprietary and unique.  While each Custom Reservation System is unique, the data is similar.  Campbell Software identified the common and uncommon aspects and provided API integrations which encapsulate variable queries.  We also provided a plug in service for discovery, enabling disparate systems to hook-into major branded search platforms.  For example,  we provided optional definitions to display results for handicap rooms, or display only results with rooms that had a roll in shower.  Each property could define specifics that far exceed general reservation requirements.

Campbell Custom Software Development has also developed a maid services module which schedules, tracks and anticipates maid services required.  This module has saved motels and hotels hundreds of thousands of dollars.  As well, main services employees are happier as they are not called in at when they were not expected to work.  Additionally, maid services can be rated by customers, enabling hard working employees to be recognized for their extra ordinary efforts.

We have also developed web based service extensions providing web discovery interfaces and enumerable services related to online reservation bookings, pricing, inventory, features and amenities.

We have also developed a custom feedback systems where comments are provided to management.  In each room, and on start-up of each TV, the user could be guided to submit their comments to the property manager.  Over 6 million comments are provided to management each year using this “add-on” that any motel or hotel can use without incurring any cost what-so-ever.  Also, positive comments which are reviewed and approved by a manager can automatically be posted to major accommodation review systems.

Custom Retail Management Software Development

Custom Retail Management Software Development

We have developed a web portal for tracking and managing product inventory, from just in time ordering, perpetual inventory management, sales mix analysis costing, variance reporting and streamlining the end of period stocktaking process.

We assisted a logistics company with their state-of-the-art, coast-to-coast handling and distribution services custom retail management software development project.  This included specialized modules which could be custom configured for different product types (perishable, non-perishable and high security items.

We developed module based components to manage private label retail products within a supply chain management system, based upon the digital flow of RFP’s, Quotes, Acceptance, Orders, Invoices and Payment processes.

We developed a custom Multilingual Retail Management Software application for managing in store promotions.  This included supply and management of private label products for retailers across diverse vendors and global locations (countries).

We assisted the British Columbia Lottery Corporation with their Encore rewards program which was offered to some 40 Casino’s located in British Columbia.  This Enterprise class project provided Encore Reward members with loyalty card rewards at British Columbia Casinos with dining discounts, point earnings on spends and point based prices.  This enabled casinos to participate in providing a wide range of promotional incentives to their clients.  We worked closely with one of the POS vendors and BCLC, providing API based middleware to hook into the custom rewards card program.

We assisted a Retail Point of Sale company with a Retail Management Development project to redesign their POS relational database support bar code product definitions and bar code scanning for checkouts.

Custom Software Application Development

Custom Software Application Development

For three years, we have been working on an Animal dental care dentistry solution for veterinarians.  The product supports all industry standard diagnosis and procedures for cats and dogs for deciduous and permanent teeth.  Some of the modules include dental charting, occlusal charting, anesthetic monitoring, compliant medical record locking, multi-user networking.  We also provided a web portal for referring veterinarians and patient clients.  Many “roles” were provided:  Practice Administrator, Practice Manager, Veterinarians, Anesthesiologists, Referring Vets, Vet Technicians, Reception and Clients.  Roles could be customized per practice and more than one role could be assigned to each user.  The product was also integrated with  non-competing market leaders allowing for a quick start-up (clients and patients can be electronically imported).   A Bone and Soft Tissue module also provided the functionalities required for medical diagnosis and procedures.  The Custom Software Application Development project also provided a compliant audit log, where all medical records retained all changes.  All records are digitally signed, ensuring the audit log reports cannot be altered.  The system also supports automatic record locking and manual record locking, preventing records from being changed. References are available.

For over a year, we assisting with a Complex sports portal / web application for managing sports, venues, teams, referees, inventory, placement, penalties, scheduling and other features required by a city or league to manage the sport.  When we commenced, the originating technology had been converted from a legacy ACCESS application to a  web based product.  However, the client did not foresee the limitations of the conversion which resulted in over 1200 software issues.  Our task was to correct the issues.  This was a mid-size project (6 figures).  References available.

We created an Online Trading (bid/sell) management portal for the coal and energy sector.  We cannot disclose much other than this due to a strict NDA, other than it was a mid-size project (6 figures).

Custom Websites and Web Apps

Custom Websites and Web Apps

We have been involved with many custom website projects and web based applications (at least 100).

There was a time when much of our work involved creating general websites.  However, due to the advancements in website template offerings such as WordPress (our website is a theme based WordPress template), it no longer makes sense to spend thousands on a general website (when you can purchase a fantastic template for $50) and leverage specific plugins free.

Campbell Software also has experience with at least 50 complex web applications.  By complex, we mean commercial business complex custom software web applications.

General features of a web application include roles (types of users) which are assigned to a web user and protection against automated bot attacks which include immediate notification of failed logins and temporary connection restrictions when con-current login attempts fail (attacks).  By complex, we mean load balanced web applications which can support hundreds of thousands of simultaneous user requests per minute.  By complex, we mean fail safe, redundant systems.

Custom web applications usually require a console which can be configured per role or per user.  Custom reports, custom databases, API integrations and custom data processing are common for web applications.

To best describe web application projects we have been involved with, think of the features that Sales Force or LinkedIn or Dropbox provides.   Campbell Software has the ability to create custom web application products like these.
