Orbits Umbrella

Software built around how your business actually works.

Most business software either forces you to change how you work, or falls apart the moment your process is slightly different. We build systems that fit the business, integrate with what you already run, and keep working after launch.

Four situations we see most often.

  • Spreadsheets have stopped coping. The process works, but it lives in five files and one person's head.
  • Off-the-shelf software doesn't fit. You're paying for a tool and still doing half the work manually.
  • Systems don't talk to each other. The same data is typed into three places.
  • The original team is gone. The platform runs, but nobody dares change it.

From first call to working software.

  1. 1

    Discovery

    We map the process, the users and the systems it has to connect to. You get a written scope, not a verbal estimate.

  2. 2

    Architecture

    We choose the stack and structure, and explain the trade-offs in plain language.

  3. 3

    Build

    Two-week sprints, a working demo at the end of each one.

  4. 4

    Launch

    Testing, data migration, training and a go-live plan agreed in advance.

  5. 5

    Run

    Maintenance, support and improvements. Software isn't finished at launch.

Two ways to pay for a build.

Managed delivery team

A monthly team with a delivery manager accountable for what ships. Best when the scope will evolve, which is most of the time.

Dedicated Product Team →

Fixed scope

A fixed price for tightly defined work: a discovery phase, a proof of concept, or a well-specified module.

We'll tell you which one fits, including when a fixed price would cost you more.

Questions.

How long does a project take?

It depends on scope, but most first releases land in three to six months. Discovery gives you a timeline before you commit to the build.

Who owns the code?

You do. IP is assigned to you on payment and the work stays in your repositories.

Can you work with our existing system?

Yes. A large part of our work is extending or integrating systems that already exist, including ones we didn't build.

What happens after launch?

Maintenance and support, either as a monthly retainer or a dedicated team.

Do you sign an NDA?

Yes, before any access to your systems or data.

What does it cost?

Pricing follows a scoping call, once we understand what's being built.
