Client systems & case studies

Practical systems, built for real operational work

DWS Software showcases client systems separately from products because this work is about applying careful technical judgement to another organisation's workflows, ownership model, and long-term needs.

How the work is organised

Products, initiatives, and client systems are different

Keeping those categories separate makes ownership, status, and responsibility easier to understand.

Products DWS-owned

DWS-created products

Products such as Meandre and DeploySure are created or owned by DWS. They express the studio's product direction and have their own status, roadmap, and user context.

Initiatives Research

Technical initiatives

Initiatives such as CandourOS are places for research, engineering questions, and deeper exploration. They are not presented as client work or commercial products.

Client systems Delivered work

Client platforms and systems

Client systems show how DWS applies architecture, implementation, workflow design, and maintainability to real organisations without implying DWS owns the resulting product.

Named client platform

ARC-AI case study

ARC-AI is a client platform and case study. It is not a DWS product or DWS-owned initiative. Public details are kept intentionally high-level where client context may be sensitive.

Client platform Case study

ARC-AI

A client system concerned with knowledge management, audit workflows, evidence-based review, retrieval, and decision support.

Discuss similar work

Context

ARC-AI sits in a domain where people need to work with structured knowledge, audit evidence, source material, and review workflows without losing sight of human judgement.

Challenge

The work required support for retrieval and decision-making while avoiding the false certainty that can come from opaque automation. Evidence, review steps, and system boundaries needed to remain visible.

Approach

DWS contributed at the level of architecture, workflow design, implementation direction, and maintainable delivery. The platform direction emphasises evidence structures, retrieval paths, human review, and clear separation between source material, support tooling, and user decisions.

System Qualities

The case study demonstrates privacy-aware design, explainable workflows, evidence-based interaction, traceable review, maintainable architecture, and retrieval that supports people rather than replacing them.

Outcome

ARC-AI provides a practical example of DWS working on a client-owned knowledge and audit platform where reliability, clarity, reviewability, and long-term ownership matter more than technology theatre.

Status

Client platform and client case study. Public wording should continue to avoid implying that ARC-AI is a DWS product, DWS-owned initiative, or generic AI offer.

Historic Dunamis work

Real systems work, reframed by operational problem

These examples come from published Dunamis Web Services case studies. They are presented here through the DWS Software lens: what problem needed solving, what decisions mattered, and what became easier for the client to operate.

Workflow automation Instal-Life

TV Schedule Publishing Automation

Context

Instal-Life, a satellite TV provider, needed to keep an online programme schedule accurate for customers without rebuilding it by hand each week.

Challenge

Staff were copying schedule data from Excel into the website manually, which consumed time and increased the chance of incorrect information being published.

Approach

Dunamis built a custom schedule module that generated the online schedule automatically from channel source data, with customer-facing search, filtering, print, PDF export, and timezone support.

System Qualities

Repeatable publishing, clearer source-to-site flow, reduced manual handling, and a more useful customer interface around the same operational information.

Outcome

The weekly manual publishing task was removed, staff time was freed for more important work, and customers received more reliable programme information.

Operational software Shiloh Computers

Supplier Stock & Pricing Automation

Context

Shiloh Computers, an Australian IT reseller, needed a better way to manage product stock and pricing across several suppliers while growing online sales.

Challenge

Staff were spending too much time keeping product data current. Supplier feeds needed to be combined, transformed, and applied to the ecommerce catalogue consistently.

Approach

Dunamis created an importer that pulled stock, cost, and pricing data from supplier feeds, applied business rules, added new products, and flagged discontinued lines.

System Qualities

Daily automated updates, controlled pricing logic, catalogue expansion support, and less reliance on repetitive manual catalogue maintenance.

Outcome

The business could keep products and prices current, expand the product range, and reported revenue growth of more than 60% after the automation was introduced.

Platform modernisation CollSys

Legacy Work Experience Platform Rewrite

Context

CollSys needed to move a work experience platform away from legacy ColdFusion software and onto a better supported application foundation.

Challenge

The internal team was new to PHP and Laravel, so the project needed both delivery support and practical enablement for long-term ownership.

Approach

Dunamis worked alongside the team on the rewrite, introduced modern development practices, and supported improvements such as caching, search, UI, and feature enhancements.

System Qualities

Maintainable architecture, better-supported foundations, performance improvements, and a delivery process that strengthened the client's own development capability.

Outcome

The rewritten platform launched in a tight four-month timeframe, and the internal team came away with stronger technical processes for future development.

CRM integration Scale Careers

Live Jobs & Candidate Application Flow

Context

Scale Careers had a Squarespace website and used Bullhorn as its recruitment CRM, but live vacancies could not be shown or applied for directly on the site.

Challenge

The website risked becoming disconnected from the live operational source of job data, forcing candidates away from a clear online journey.

Approach

Dunamis built a bespoke integration using the Bullhorn API to bring job listings, detail pages, filtering, and an application flow into the website experience.

System Qualities

Live CRM-backed data, role search, clear candidate journeys, and a website surface that worked as an extension of the operational CRM.

Outcome

Candidates could browse current vacancies and apply through the site, making the public website more useful without duplicating job data manually.

Learning systems Bridges College

Website & Moodle Transition Support

Context

Bridges Christian College was becoming independent and needed to improve prospective student communication while keeping online learning available.

Challenge

The college needed a new public site and a move of its Moodle LMS from on-site hosting to cloud-hosted infrastructure without disrupting existing students.

Approach

Dunamis delivered a new website, integrated useful student-facing information, and migrated Moodle to hosted VPS infrastructure with rebranding and configuration work.

System Qualities

Continuity during organisational change, clearer student access, hosted learning infrastructure, and careful coordination across public and operational systems.

Outcome

The college could attract new students, support current students, and continue delivering courses online through Moodle during the transition.

Recurring workflows AWM Europe

Recurring Partnership Process Migration

Context

Andrew Wommack Ministries Europe needed to move away from an unsupported PHP site and improve how recurring donations and monthly partnerships were handled.

Challenge

Supporters could not create monthly partnerships cleanly on their own. Staff intervention slowed the process, created complaints, and risked lost income.

Approach

Dunamis rebuilt the site on WooCommerce and replaced the old manual flow with subscription-based partnerships and self-service account management.

System Qualities

Lower admin dependency, easier supporter journeys, a more maintainable platform, and clearer content management for routine site updates.

Outcome

The biggest barrier to creating partnerships was removed, staff no longer had to step in to make routine sign-up work, and day-to-day content updates became easier.

Work with DWS

Bring a practical software problem

DWS is best suited to systems where operational clarity, privacy-aware design, maintainability, reliability, and future ownership are part of the brief from the beginning.
