Custom dashboards provide visibility across the entire business by synchronizing and combining data from various systems. They help business leaders make data driven decisions using real time information. Custom reports and dashboards can be viewed on all devices and provide accurate answers on demand.
In many cases, customers and suppliers can be provided secure access to view realtime information relevant to them and improve responsiveness and transparency.
Banking industry software has traditionally been limited to large providers of enterprise software and banking institutions have been slow to move and adapt. Due to the high level of security required, the banking industry has had a low appetite for new technologies and relatively has been risk averse. However competition and customer demand are driving a new wave of fintech and innovation and many smaller businesses are using technology to disrupt the sector.
In the banking industry there is already a lot of great off-the-shelf software and we encourage you to explore these first.
We find however, that in most cases this software will get you 80 percent of your requirements but are not flexible enough to get that last 20 percent. This is where Blackball steps in - we craft a specialist solution for you, because your data or business case is itself specialized.
Because each implementation is different - by definition - we do not offer an out-of-the-box solution as such. However, our competitive advantage is Foundation - an underlying framework we've developed which lets us quickly roll out and maintain enterprise-level software much more quickly than our competitors. Further to this, Foundation will take care of things like exception monitoring, SMS notifications, data cachingetc - freeing us up to focus on only the "customized" part of your application.
Blackball has been building software since 2004. We've built multi-national systems processing millions of data points hourly. We've built financial compliance and monitoring systems. Our software is in some of the largest manufacturing plants in the country.
But we've also built software for a huge number of small & medium size customers - from retail stores needing real-time sales info on their clients, to small businesses with an e-commerce requirement, to startups with a hot idea but not-so-hot bank balance.
And now we bring that experience to you
We don't build software anymore - in many cases your systems can be built using a mix of off-the-shelf products and No Code platforms.
However, this approach lacks one thing - experience. Blackball has a unique insight into the needs of the entire spectrum of clients and we've realized that, although different in scale and budget, most software projects have the same fundamental requirements. Customer-facing features like high-performing reports, data management & email notifications. And just as importantly, architectural features like caching, localisation, API access, multi-threading and data synchronization.
We even wrote the book about it
