Whether you need a new product, an internal system, or help evolving and operating existing applications, we work to your stack and timeline. Our services are grouped by theme below. View our full service list or get in touch to discuss your needs.

What is web and application engineering?

Web and application engineering is the design, development and operation of web and business applications. It includes custom and enterprise development, architecture and lifecycle management, deployment and maintenance, APIs and integration, and SaaS or internal platforms. Done well, it gives you software that is reliable, maintainable and aligned with your business, whether built in-house, with a partner or as a product for customers.

Development

We build custom and enterprise applications that fit your business. From internal business systems to customer-facing web applications, we deliver software that is maintainable, scalable and aligned with your processes and technology landscape.

Custom Software Development

We develop custom software tailored to your requirements when off-the-shelf solutions do not fit. We work with you from discovery and design through build and delivery, using modern stacks and practices so you get a solution that solves your problem and is maintainable. We can integrate with your existing systems and deploy to your preferred environments (on-premises or cloud).

Enterprise Application Development

We build enterprise-grade applications that support your scale, security and integration needs. We focus on architecture, reliability and operability so your applications perform under load, integrate with other systems and can be maintained and extended over time. We work with established and modern technologies and align with your governance and standards.

Internal Business System Development

We develop internal business systems (workflow tools, dashboards, operational systems and line-of-business applications) that streamline how your teams work. We help you automate processes, consolidate data and improve visibility so you reduce manual effort and make better decisions. Systems are designed for your context and can integrate with ERP, CRM and other core platforms.

Architecture & lifecycle

Strong architecture and lifecycle practices keep your applications fit for purpose. We help you design web and application architecture and establish application lifecycle management so you can deliver, evolve and operate software in a structured way.

Web Application Architecture

We help you design and evolve web application architecture so your systems are scalable, secure and maintainable. We support technology selection, structure (e.g. front-end, back-end, APIs, data), deployment model and integration patterns so you have a clear blueprint. We can assess existing applications and propose improvements or design greenfield solutions for new products.

Application Lifecycle Management

We help you establish application lifecycle management (ALM) so development, release and operation are coordinated and visible. We support requirements and backlog management, version control and branching strategy, build and release pipelines, and alignment with support and operations so you deliver changes predictably and maintain quality over the life of the application.

Deployment & integration

Reliable deployment and integration get your applications into production and connected to the rest of your estate. We help you deploy and maintain applications and develop APIs and integrations so your software is available, up to date and working with other systems.

Application Deployment & Maintenance

We help you deploy applications consistently and maintain them in production. We support deployment automation, environments (dev, test, staging, production), release processes and ongoing maintenance (patches, updates, monitoring) so your applications stay available and secure. We can work with your DevOps and operations teams or run deployment and maintenance on your behalf.

API Development & Integration

We design and build APIs and integrate systems so your applications and data work together. We support REST and GraphQL APIs, API design and documentation, and integration with third-party or legacy systems so you have clear contracts and reliable data flow. We help you expose capabilities to partners or internal consumers and connect applications to CRM, ERP, identity and other services.

Platforms

We help you build and run software-as-a-service (SaaS) and productised platforms so you can deliver value to internal or external users at scale, with multi-tenancy, billing and operations in mind.

SaaS Platform Development

We help you design and build SaaS platforms (multi-tenant, subscription-based applications that serve many users or organisations). We support product architecture, tenant isolation, subscription and billing integration, and operational concerns (scaling, monitoring, security) so you can launch and grow a SaaS offering. We work with you from concept through to launch and ongoing evolution.
