Software Requirements Documentation
Software Requirements Documents are used as blueprints for software development teams. In addition to written documentation, we also include interactive prototypes and screen mockups to visualize the application's layout and user flow. This helps stakeholders preview functionality before a single line of code is written.
Seed Technologies provides services to help design and document any new software system. We know how to communicate to development teams the pertinent information that is needed for accurate bidding and project management.

Specifications for Software Development
If you plan to solicit multiple bids on a project in order to shop for your next development team, requirements documentation will give your vendors a clear understanding of the scope of work so that your bids will be based on the same set of requirements. You will also spend less time verbally explaining the project details to the developers bidding.

Our Process
Although every project is unique, described below is our typical process for creating requirements documentation.
Initial Consultation
This is a free initial consultation to discuss the overall project, goals and budgetary requirements.
Contract Execution
We simply require an hourly contract to start which will cover meetings, research and documentation time.
Discovery Meetings
Regular Meetings to gather the project requirements. Wireframes for every screen are developed.
Documentation Drafts
Throughout the process you are provided drafts to provide feedback or suggest changes.
Prototyping Phase
We create interactive mockups or click-through demos so you can visualize key screens and workflows before development begins.
Project Bidding
We provide additional RFP paperwork to help streamline the bidding process and make it easy to compare estimates.

Frequently Asked Software Requirement Questions
Think of an SRS as the blueprint for your software. Just like you wouldn’t build a house without plans, you don’t want to build software without clear requirements. To create one, we work with you to map out what the software should do, who will use it, and what features it needs. We then turn that into a step-by-step document that guides development and serves as the basis for accurate project bidding, keeping everyone on the same page and helping avoid costly changes later.
A software specification document is like the blueprint and instruction manual for your project. It typically includes workflows, data structures, user roles, interface design, and technical requirements that guide development. We also create a prototype — a clickable mockup that shows how the software will look and flow — along with a detailed requirements document to support it. If you need outside bids, we can package everything with RFP paperwork to make the bidding process easier and more accurate.
A specification is the blueprint for your project. It ensures developers, stakeholders, and decision-makers are all working from the same plan. By defining requirements up front, you reduce the risk of costly changes, get more accurate bids, and make sure all developers are bidding on the same specifications. Later, the specification is used as the scope of work, project management checklist, and even as a guide for QA testing, keeping the entire project aligned from start to finish.
