Off-the-shelf software forces your processes into someone else's workflow. Custom software does the opposite - it moulds around how your business actually operates. We build bespoke applications as a managed service, providing the architects, developers and testers you need without the overhead of hiring, onboarding and retaining permanent staff.

How Software Development as a Service works

SDaaS gives you a dedicated development team that operates inside your existing tools, processes and communication channels. There is no handoff friction between internal and external teams because we function as one team. You retain full ownership of the code and intellectual property, and we remain responsible for quality, testing and delivery.

We scope work in focused delivery cycles, typically two to four weeks, with working software demonstrated at the end of each cycle. This means you see progress continuously rather than waiting months for a reveal that may not match expectations.

What we build

Internal business tools - workflow automation dashboards, approval systems, reporting tools and operational platforms that replace spreadsheets and manual processes with purpose-built applications.

Customer-facing platforms - portals, booking systems, e-commerce applications and self-service tools that connect directly to your backend systems and give your customers a seamless experience.

API and integration layers - middleware, data transformation services and API gateways that connect legacy systems to modern platforms. We frequently integrate with Apache APISIX, Kafka and Camel from our automation stack.

Data applications - analytics dashboards, data processing pipelines and reporting tools built on Apache Superset, Spark or custom frameworks depending on your requirements.

Technology approach

We are language-agnostic and select the technology stack that best fits your requirements and your team's ability to maintain it long-term. If you have an existing codebase in Python, Node.js, Go, Java or .NET, we work within it. If starting from scratch, we recommend the stack that balances performance, maintainability and hiring availability for your situation.

Every application we build includes automated testing, CI/CD pipeline configuration, monitoring and documentation. We do not deliver code and disappear - our SDaaS model means we continue to maintain, improve and operate the applications we build.

Scaling up when you need to

For larger or time-critical projects, we draw on a vetted network of specialist development partners who have previously worked as part of our delivery teams. This lets us scale capacity quickly without compromising on standards or introducing unfamiliar processes.
