Frequently asked questions
Answers about our software engineering services, products, project engagements and support.
What does Zorithal do?
Zorithal develops proprietary software products and provides software engineering services to organisations. Our work includes applications, websites, web platforms, AI integrations, data systems, and technical infrastructure.
Does Zorithal work only in manufacturing or finance?
No. Those are areas represented by some of our products. Our software engineering services are not restricted to either industry.
Can you build software around our existing business processes?
Yes, provided the requirements are technically feasible and an appropriate implementation can be agreed. We first assess the process, users, existing systems, and intended outcomes.
Do you develop websites as well as larger software platforms?
Yes. We work on websites, interactive web applications, content-managed platforms, and larger software systems. The architecture and scope depend on the requirements.
Can you integrate software with systems we already use?
Where suitable interfaces and permissions are available, we can assess integrations through APIs, databases, files, or other supported methods. The feasibility depends on the third-party system.
Do you offer AI development?
Yes. We develop and integrate AI-supported features where their reliability, operating cost, privacy considerations, and value make sense for the use case.
Can you take over an existing software project?
We can review an existing codebase, architecture, documentation, and infrastructure before deciding whether modernisation, continued development, or replacement is the best approach.
How much does a project cost?
Costs depend on scope, complexity, integration needs, deadlines, deployment requirements, and maintenance arrangements. We provide a project-specific proposal after an initial assessment.
How long does development take?
The timeline depends on the agreed scope and project dependencies. We establish milestones and delivery expectations during scoping rather than promising a universal turnaround period.
Can you provide hosting, domain, and business email services?
These can form part of an engagement where appropriate, either through Zorithal-managed arrangements or recognised third-party providers. Ownership, costs, administration responsibilities, and support terms are specified in the agreement.
Who owns the software developed for a client?
Ownership and licensing of code, designs, data, deliverables, third-party components, and Zorithal's pre-existing technology are defined by the signed contract for the engagement.
Do you provide maintenance and technical support?
Yes, where included in an agreed support or maintenance arrangement. The service scope, response commitments, exclusions, and pricing are defined separately.
How do I start?
Send an enquiry describing the problem, intended users, and desired outcome. We will review it and establish the next appropriate conversation or discovery step.
