Application Development

Technology to fit your unique processes

When you select a software solutions provider, you make a choice that will impact every aspect of your business. It can lead to greater profitability and efficiency or to frustration.

Cargas understands how significant this choice can be. It’s why Cargas has spent over two decades developing focused services and a track record, designed to make your choice a bit easier. 

While Cargas is widely recognized as one of Pennsylvania’s largest providers of Microsoft Dynamics, other attributes set us apart: our business-focused approach to developing solutions, our ability to create custom solutions and a team that offers unparalleled depth and experience.

A Better Approach

Every business is unique. But too often, software providers implement a solution without truly understanding the roots of the challenges a business faces. Cargas takes a decidedly different approach; one we have used to create successful applications for customers in non-profit, manufacturing, distribution, energy and several other industries.

Focus on Your Business Processes

At Cargas, we recognize that every business has a set of processes that enable them to succeed – sales order processing, customer management, inventory management and more. To develop software solutions, we start by gaining a working comprehension of each of your critical business functions.

Only then will we work to define the optimal approach to managing each function, and finally identify and apply the right technology. The Cargas approach, focusing on processes offers several key advantages:

• We avoid a common error: changing a customer’s business to fit the solution, rather than creating the solution to fit the business.
• We select the most cost-effective software for the job – out-of-the-box, modified, or custom.
• We provide a seamless, easy-to-implement solution because it matches existing processes.

By focusing on specific business processes, Cargas ensures the development of solutions that achieve not simply IT goals, but larger business goals.

Spirit of Collaboration

Our initial approach requires us to work closely with you, establishing a collaborative partnership that continues through the development process. The Cargas process involves breaking a larger project into smaller tasks, creating prototypes for specific functions and engaging in frequent review, testing and feedback.

The continuous opportunities to provide feedback enable Cargas to develop targeted solutions in an efficient way, deploy the most critical functions of a solution first, and dramatically reduce modifications after an installation.

Creativity and Customization

While Microsoft Dynamics GP and CRM are powerful business management solutions, some operations require custom-tailored applications. Cargas has created exclusive resources that enable us to innovate on behalf of your needs. 

We use the latest technologies to give our customers a head start on one-of-a-kind software solutions.  Our set of tools can be shaped to meet a broad range of needs — a robust but flexible foundation for the development of custom software solutions.

With this innovative platform, customers benefit because Cargas spends less time developing a foundation in technology and more time developing a custom-fit solution. This also enables Cargas to develop proprietary software packages that can be further modified or customized to meet customer requirements, such as:

• Integrate order processing, invoicing and other common functions.
• Focus on distribution functions, capturing data for sharing and analysis.
• Human resources solutions that capture online application data, streamlines hiring, manages information and more.

Software for the Way You Work

Cargas realizes the value of a smooth implementation, with staff quickly learning and adapting to new software. By focusing on processes early, Cargas can create an interface that makes sense to the user – and that better manages critical tasks.

Increasingly, Cargas develops wizard-based solutions that walk the user through already-familiar tasks and processes. By shaping software to fit a company’s workflow, we ease the implementation process. And, by encouraging open and frequent feedback from customers, we speed development and reduce the likelihood of significant changes late in project.

Our Greatest Resource 

While Cargas has developed a mastery of both Microsoft Dynamics and custom solutions, we offer customers an even more important resource: our people. While many providers focus on maintaining a staff of technology specialists, Cargas believes in the value of a building a broad-based team that understands technology and business processes.

Cargas consultants include professionals with backgrounds in manufacturing, finance, human resources and many other disciplines. Of course, our team also includes highly experienced Microsoft Dynamics and Microsoft Certified Professionals. By leveraging the experiences and talents of our entire team, Cargas is better able to serve customers with a range of challenges.
