Overview

Web and Enterprise Systems Built Around How You Work.

Off-the-shelf software rarely fits how a business actually works. We build applications around your processes, data and users, so teams stop working around their tools.

Every project starts with discovery: who uses the system, what it needs to do, and what it has to connect to. We then build in short iterations, with working software to review every two weeks.

You Might Need This If…

  • Work runs on spreadsheets, email and copy-paste between systems.
  • An off-the-shelf product covers 70% of what you need and the rest is workarounds.
  • A legacy system is hard to change and only one or two people understand it.
  • Customers or partners phone or email for things they could do themselves online.
  • You have a product idea and need a team to build it properly.

What we deliver

Custom Applications Services

Take one piece or the whole scope, delivered by one team.

  • Line-of-Business Systems

    Applications for operations, finance, HR and field teams that replace spreadsheets and manual steps.

  • Customer and Partner Portals

    Secure self-service portals for ordering, account management, onboarding and support.

  • Workflow and Approvals

    Digital forms, approvals and audit trails for processes that still run on email.

  • Integration

    APIs and middleware that connect new applications with ERP, CRM and other systems already in place.

  • Modernisation

    Rebuilding or re-platforming legacy applications without losing the business rules inside them.

  • Rollout and Training

    Phased go-lives, data migration, user training and documentation.

The Outcomes We Work Towards

We agree how success will be measured before work starts, and report against it.

  • Software people choose to useDesigned with the people who do the work, tested with them before it ships.
  • Releases you can plan aroundWorking software every two weeks, with a backlog you can see and reorder.
  • A system you can maintainClean code, automated tests and documentation your team can pick up.

Examples

What This Work Looks Like

Two typical engagements: the problem, what we did, the team and the result.

Example scenario · Regional distributor, 400 staff

Replacing Spreadsheets with an Operations Portal

The situation

Orders, stock and delivery schedules were tracked across a dozen shared spreadsheets, with frequent errors and no audit trail.

What we did

  • Mapped the order-to-delivery process with the operations team
  • Built a web portal with role-based screens for sales, warehouse and drivers
  • Integrated it with the existing ERP and accounting system
Team
Delivery lead, business analyst, 3 developers, QA engineer
Timeline
5 months to first release
Result
One place for orders and stock, with every change recorded.

Example scenario · Specialty insurer

Modernising a Legacy Claims System

The situation

A 15-year-old desktop application was slow to change and its original developers had left.

What we did

  • Documented the existing rules and data model
  • Rebuilt it as a web application in stages, module by module
  • Ran old and new side by side until each module was signed off
Team
Solution architect, 4 developers, business analyst, QA engineer
Timeline
9 months, released in four stages
Result
Changes that used to take months now ship in a sprint.

These examples show the kind of work we do. They are illustrative and do not describe a named client.

Downtown Dubai
United Arab Emirates edition

Building for UAE Organisations

  • Arabic and English interfaces, with right-to-left layouts designed in from the start.
  • UAE Pass sign-in and integration with government services where needed.
  • Personal data handled under the UAE PDPL, or DIFC and ADGM rules for free-zone clients.
  • A Dubai-based delivery lead on every project, with engineering in India, just 90 minutes behind Gulf time.

Team and pricing

Who You Work with, and How It’s Priced

Every engagement has a named delivery lead. Need individuals rather than a team? We place full-stack developers, solution architects, business analysts and more on contract, contract-to-hire or direct hire terms.

A Typical Team

Sized to the work; this is a common starting point.

  • UX designerAs needed
  • Developers2–5
  • QA engineer1
  • Solution architectPart-time

Project

A fixed scope and timeline, led by our delivery lead. Often fixed price for discovery and first release.

Dedicated Team

A stable team working on your backlog and tools, billed monthly. Scale up or down with notice.

Managed Service

We run and improve what has been built, against agreed service levels, for a monthly fee.

FAQs

Questions We Often Hear

Do we own the code?

Yes. You own all code, designs and documentation from day one, kept in your own repositories if you prefer.

Fixed price or time and materials?

Both. We often fix the price of discovery and the first release, then move to a monthly team for what follows.

Which technologies do you use?

Mostly .NET, Java, Node.js and Python on the back end, React or Angular on the front end, on AWS or Azure. We fit your standards where you have them.

Can you work with our in-house developers?

Yes. Many projects are mixed teams, with our engineers following your coding standards and review process.

What happens after go-live?

A period of hypercare, then a support agreement sized to how much change you expect. See Application support for details.
