Agile.st :: Quality Application Development

We design & develop secure, performant, quality web applications using advanced web frameworks such as Django and Pyramid.

We build security into our applications from the start as a matter of policy and we can promise quality because of our solid development practices—such as a dedication to testing. We each have over 10 years experience with Python programming and 4 years of experience with Django.

Besides helping with development we can also help with:

Security: Installing and configuring host and network tools for monitoring, log analysis, and intrusion detection. Vulnerability testing from the inside with code scanning and manual code reviews and from the outside with pentests. We can help you perform risk assessment—using Octave Allegro™ methodology—and achieve PCI Compliance.

API Integration: We have integrated NetSuite into existing sites and back-office applications. We are currently building applications that integrate with Google Apps Marketplace, and Xero Add-Ons.

TITAN Armor

CLIENT: TITAN Armor
STATUS: Application launched 2009, still a work in progress
- This is a full-featured project and time tracking tool that helps manufacturers maximize R&D tax credit benefits through documentation and reducing the cost of successful audit defenses.
- The first customer signup was within two weeks of the start of development and we like to believe our straight forward user interface and attention to performance has something to do with this applications 99% customer retention rate.

TITAN Engineering

CLIENT: TITAN Manufacturing Solutions
STATUS: Application launched 2009, retired 2010
- Another fast launch, this application featured interactive graphs that were dynamically redrawn when slider controls changed input variables.

Gale+Co

CLIENT: Gale + Co
STATUS: Website launched 2008
- Our partner company that specializes in graphic design, infographics, and branding.

ProVan

CLIENT: ProVan
STATUS: Application launched 2008
- Two weeks from initial decision for a new website and branding to launch. Front end website mostly coded as sliced images. Applications included a marketplace for used trucks with lightbox slideshows of the trucks for sale and a minimal blogging app. Plans for a truck interior customization tool had to be shelved.

Unifi Capital Partners

CLIENT: UNIFI Capital Partners, LLC
STATUS: Website launched 2008
- Initial design to launch was highly time constrained but successful. At launch the site was using Django trunk (pre-0.96) and supported both English and Spanish in all models.

Beta Tools USA

CLIENT: Beta Distribution USA / Beta Procare USA
STATUS: Website launched 2004, ERP launched 2006.
- Initial launch was a PHP based website without a shopping cart. Site design successfully presented a catalog with over 13,000 items.
- Evaluation of accounting systems at the time lead us to select NetSuite for ERP and shopping cart. In the first phase we designed the corporate and franchise Chart of Accounts, designed workflows, customized transaction forms, and built the inventory item database.
- In the second phase we integrated the NetSuite shopping cart with the website, which allowed us to present different price lists on catalog pages depending on customer (e.g. consumers vs. commercial customers with negotiated discounts) and also tied website sales into the warehouse workflow for packing and shipping of orders.
- Phase three involved API integration of NetSuite with the manufacturer's SAP system. This included creating inventory transfer orders using business logic depending on stock levels as well as automatic processing of packing slips for incoming shipments.
