At Loyal we adapt to the client’s needs, which is why we offer custom development services on the Loyal platform: personalized forms, specific reports, performance indicators, etc.
Each customization is managed as a new implementation project which must follow the work methodology that guarantees us delivering a product in accordance with the client’s requirements and expectations. The needs assessment stage is very important, which is when the functionalities to be developed in the product are defined. At this stage we participate together with key users so that the specification includes all the expected functionalities. Once the specification is validated, our development team will continue to design and develop the solution. There is a testing stage in which the user can check if the functionality of the solution is in accordance with what was defined in the survey stage. Finally, the release of the new version, when the installation is carried out in the client’s production environment.

The Loyal consultant compiles the documentation to be migrated to Loyal, evaluating its quantity and complexity.
From this information, a migration strategy is developed that involves defining the methodology to use to upload each document to Loyal.
