This paper includes a description of the steps taken for software development and the list of learnings gained by the working team. This information is shared for the wider industry for the benefit of others that may endeavour a similar initiative. The software architecture is presented in a very minimalistic manner to protect intellectual property, however, the paper still shows the general idea of software functionalities including some description for the major tools developed within the whole package. Keywords: software, decision-making, slope design
