StayShure: From low-code software to high-end results

StayShure: From low-code software to high-end results

As a business, staying ahead of the competition is not just a goal but a necessity. Fortunately, StayShure promises to help you remain at the forefront of your industry, add equity to your business, increase profitability and eliminate redundant app subscriptions and services by offering custom software development solutions that are tailored to your needs.From completing his undergraduate degree in biblical studies to owning a painting company, founder and CEO Alex Pezzutto has carved a unique path on the road to establishing StayShure. The custom software development company, headquartered in Halifax with a team of 15 across Canada, creates custom business solutions with a focus on return on investment by combining a rapid development process, expert UX/UI design and the expertise of business-minded CTOs. “We have a team of developers and designers that can then build anything that might be custom or integrations between different layers,” said Pezzutto, adding they use tailor-made software to help you stay ahead of competition, add equity, and increase profitability. StayShure also has a unique offering of fractional CTOs, which, according to Pezzutto, are in high demand and increasingly accessible to small and medium sized enterprises.“It's a bit of a unique concept. It's still relatively unknown. We come in as a fractional CTO by bringing that business and technology strategy as to what would be best for your business,” he said. StayShure’s fractional CTO offering includes a consulting aspect, addressing the lack of coherence among software services, which has been addressed as the main pain point for their clients. The company’s solution involves simplifying processes and tailoring the software to the business. They do this by reducing the workload for staff members, boosting efficiency through automation, or helping to identify digital opportunities for growth. “The number one thing is don't assume that you know what your customers want,” said Pezzutto. “It's really important to start with really good customer discovery.”In addition to this valuable offering, the key to the company’s success is its low-code technology, which cuts down on time, increases efficiency and helps StayShure stay ahead of the curve and competition. “We try to keep ourselves abreast of what are the best low-code services out there in the best existing platforms and how they can work together,” said Pezzutto. “I think low-code is a huge opportunity for businesses to leverage technology without having to build everything custom. There's a lot of ways to build much faster.”“It's this type of technology that's relatively invisible, but just makes everyone more productive which is a huge boon for our collective future.”Looking ahead, Pezutto said he is excited to launch StayShure’s very own software product tailored to coaches and advisors, enabling them to automatically extract valuable data from their clients, providing them answers to all of their questions in an on-demand manner. StayShure is also dedicated to reimagining the future of education and is taking steps to officially conduct research on the ideal model for the future of education.To learn more about StayShure and their services, visit StayShure.
