Custom Software Development in San Francisco
Citrine Groupe designs and develops custom software for organizations with ideas, workflows, and requirements that cannot be addressed effectively by an off-the-shelf product. We build software for sale, internal business tools, mobile apps, and web and desktop applications around the people who will use them.
Based in San Francisco, we work with organizations throughout the Bay Area and beyond. Every project is supported by experienced project management, a collaborative development team, and a clearly defined path from discovery through launch.
Purpose-built software
Software Built Around the Way You Work
Custom software should solve a clearly defined problem. It might become a new product offered to customers, replace spreadsheets and disconnected tools, simplify a complicated sales process, connect existing systems, or help employees complete important work more efficiently.
We begin by understanding the users, workflow, business requirements, and desired outcome before recommending features or technology.
Mobile App Development

Our approach
Our Custom Software Development Process
Discovery

Strategy and Scope
We define priorities, core functionality, project phases, technical considerations, responsibilities, timeline, and measures of success.
UX/UI Design and Prototyping
We organize user journeys, information, screens, and interactions so the experience can be reviewed before full development begins.
Development and Testing
Our development team builds the approved functionality, completes relevant integrations, tests the application, and addresses issues identified during review.
Launch and Continued Support
We prepare the software for deployment and can provide maintenance, troubleshooting, enhancements, and additional development as needs evolve.
