Services›R&D as a Service

Product squads that build the platforms your business runs on.

Bring in a cross-functional squad that owns product, design, engineering and quality, and ships to your roadmap.

What we build

Platforms, marketplaces, and the systems behind them.

The products that technology businesses sell through and operate on, where scale, integration and reliability are the whole job.

Marketplaces

Cloud and B2B marketplaces

Storefronts, catalogues, quoting, provisioning and billing for distributors, telcos and vendors selling software and services at scale.

Platforms

Digital platforms and portals

Customer, partner and reseller platforms with a unified experience over the systems they depend on.

OSS / BSS

Operations and billing systems

The provisioning, subscription, billing and support systems a platform business runs on, and migrations between them at scale.

Integration

Integration layers

The proprietary layer that ties ERP, payments, identity, analytics and partner systems into one product.

Cloud

Cloud-native architecture

AWS, Azure and Kubernetes; architectures designed for cost, flexibility and the scale you'll need in three years, not the one you have now.

AI

AI-native products

Data foundations, agents and intelligent operations inside the product, built on Devtech Forge AI or on your own stack.

Three ways to build

Own what differentiates you. Integrate the rest.

How much of a platform to build versus buy is the first decision, and the one that shapes cost, speed and what you end up owning. We have delivered all three shapes and will tell you plainly which one fits.

Single pane of glass

Build the top layer, integrate best-of-breed underneath

A unified interface and a proprietary integration layer over third-party ERP, payments, identity and analytics. Fastest time to market; the experience and the glue become your IP.

Full proprietary

Every module custom-built

Complete control and customisation, for platforms where the whole system is the differentiator. Entire IP ownership, optimised end to end.

Hybrid

Core in-house, the rest integrated

Proprietary core modules with selected third-party components for non-core functions. Balanced control, faster delivery.

How we deliver

AI-enabled squads, discovery a sprint ahead of delivery.

A squad owns its outcome end to end, from discovery through to what is running in production, and we staff it for the work in front of it. Scale to several squads when the roadmap calls for it. Discovery stays a sprint ahead, so delivery is always building something already validated, and every squad works AI-enabled, on Forge or on whichever model you have standardised on.

Your call

Forge, or your model of choice

If you have chosen a provider and have rules about where code and data may go, we work inside them. If you have not, a Forge instance gives the squad connected context and governance from day one.

In the work

Where AI actually earns its keep

Investigation across an unfamiliar codebase, first-draft implementations, test coverage, migration grunt work, release notes and documentation. An engineer reviews and owns every line that ships.

The effect

Senior time on the decisions

The squad spends less of its week on the mechanical parts, so discovery stays ahead of delivery and your roadmap moves faster without the team growing.
