Custom Development

Overview of Our Capabilities

SpaceWorks Software is proud to market and support several high-quality software products. However, we recognize that the software needs of our customers extend beyond the specialized disciplines of propulsion design, trajectory optimization, and data visualization. For this reason we are excited to offer custom software development services for aerospace and related fields.

Our experience with custom development extends to the early days of our company. Each of the products we sell here at SpaceWorks Software was originally developed to fulfill a specific analysis capability that we required to perform our day to day work. If you are coming up empty in your search for an application that performs your critical function, contact us to find out how we might cost effectively build it for you.

In addition to transforming in-house tools into products, our developers have created dozens of custom solutions to enable integration of various engineering applications and design frameworks. We have experience making disparate software applications from different vendors, running on different platforms, and perhaps written in different decades, interface with one another. We can help you successfully automate the same types of interactions. You may review our custom development case studies for examples of our previous work.

Our expert services are available on a fixed-price or hourly basis. For more information please contact us at software@sei.aero.
