Geode Software

Easy Books is a fully-functional double-entry accounting application for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. The app is available from iTunes as a free download and comes with 100 transactions lines for you to try it out. You can upgrade with a one-off purchase from within the app.

The app is ideally suited to small businesses and 'one man bands'. We have had lots of feedback from customers who love this app; builders, contractors, consultants, musicians, farmers, treasurers and of course bookkeepers. Together, they have sent suggestions (via the feedback form) which have improved the app over time.

What Our Customers Say

"I like how comprehensive this app for the iPhone is! I've been looking for something like this for a time as I am a Book keeper by trade."

"I am a musician, so being able to keep books on the fly is a great advantage, which is why I was drawn to your app."

If you've ever wondered, you can find out with the Do I Snore? app. This app runs on the iPhone, listening to you through the night, recording clips of any snores it hears.

Do I Snore? listens for those tell-tale snoring signs and records the top three snores each time the app is run. You can listen to these back in the morning.

This app is literally taking the world by storm, selling hundreds of copies in only a few days. It is a real asset to the users who have bought it. Excellent support and a good detailed description of how it works all add value to an already very well priced product.

In January 2009 Accenture approached us to provide a short training course on developing within the Lodestar ASP framework.

We provided a couple of days additional support for the more difficult pieces of work in January, all remotely via a VPN.

Later in April, Accenture approached us again to provide a full-time developer to work on the project site in Brussels. Our developers are specialists in Lodestar development, and we have been working hard during the systems integration and test phase to deliver the client's requirements. The project has now been completed and is live.

In April 2009, EDF Energy's Lodestar implementation moved into "Business As Usual". From then on, any issues became production support issues dealt with by an EDF support team.

The project has been tuned for EDF and is capable of pricing over 50,000 sites per day to generate energy prices for EDF's largest customers.

During the hand-over period, Geode was involved in troubleshooting issues such as fast track problems. These were investigated, and if there was an underlying problem, we suggested a fix by documenting the problem itself together with the changes needed.

In March 2008 EDF Energy asked us to help with performance tuning their production database. We were able to identify where in the code the poor performing queries were defined, and to develop more efficient versions of them using the Oracle plan tables (explain plan) to reduce overall cost, physical I/O and ultimately time taken to execute.

During autumn 2007 we were involved in ASP training for the Lodestar framework. Many aspects of the ASP framework were covered, with best practices, including stored queries, dictionaries, custom screens, tabs, dropdown actions, XML data, XSLT transforms, debugging and more!

End clients are keen to make use of the Lodestar applications, and see the flexibility the software provides. Custom ASP work should "fit in" with the framework, and we have successfully trained staff in the best way to go about developing for Lodestar.

Harrier LLC provide mail-order photo processing and online digital printing. The company has recently begun supplying photo gifts such as mugs, calendars and photo books though the online Truprint site as well as fulfilling these gift orders for numerous partners. Their current I.T. system tracks orders as they progress through the production process, but it is increasingly difficult to maintain. The project requirement was to create a new system based on new technology to take over the process. Geode was asked to plan the project and in the initial part of the project, to design the database.
