Software and apps built around how your business works

Custom business software, web apps, portals and mobile apps on one backend, scoped in writing and delivered in slices, so something useful is in use before the whole build is finished.

Problems

Typical problems

  • The business runs on spreadsheets

    The same figures are typed into several sheets, and nobody is sure which one is right.

  • Software that almost fits

    A subscription covers most of the job, and the team works around the rest by hand.

  • Work that waits for a desk

    What happens away from the office waits until someone is back at a computer to type it in.
What we build

Software & app development

  • Discovery & architecture

    We start with how the work is done today, then write down the build: the screens, the data, what connects to what and the order of the slices.
    How a project runs

  • Custom business software

    Bespoke internal tools, booking and job systems, and admin panels: a few screens over one database, built to match the process the team already understands. One truth, one owner per field, a log of every change. If the business still runs on a sheet, here are the signs you have outgrown the spreadsheet.

  • Web apps & client portals

    We build web apps and portals where customers or partners book, pay, upload documents and check status, on the same data your office uses.

    In use

    A take-a-number queue: visitors take a number, and a screen calls the next person. Read the case study: Take-a-number queue with call screens

  • Mobile apps (Android & iOS)

    We build Android and iOS apps for staff or customers that share one backend with the office system.

    In use

    An Android app for a consultancy’s staff, working on the same inbox and contact records as the office. Read the case study: WhatsApp, Instagram & Messenger inbox

  • MVPs & SaaS products

    We build the first version of a product around the one job it must do well, then grow it in slices with its first users.

  • Backends & APIs

    We build the backend and the API that a website, an app and your other systems share, written down so another team can use it.

  • Modernisation & takeovers

    We take over and rebuild a site or app someone else started, keeping what works and replacing the rest in slices.

  • Testing & QA

    We test every slice before it goes into use: on the phones and browsers your customers use, from the keyboard, and against the written scope.

Try it live

Try the WhatsApp inbox

Follow one enquiry through a team inbox: the number’s flow asks its first question and routes the answer, and the contact record keeps the full history and where the enquiry came from. Then edit a suggested reply and send it, switch to out of hours, and see the same thread in the staff app.

What you can try

  • Answer the flow’s first question and see the enquiry routed to Sales
  • Open the contact record: its history and where it came from
  • Edit a suggested reply and send it
  • Switch to out of hours, then open the staff app

Process

How a build goes

  1. Step 1 of 3

    Scope, in writing

    We look at how the work is done today, then write two pages: the problem and the build, with the price and the accounts it will live in. You say yes to a document, not a phone call. Here is what goes in a written scope.

  2. Step 2 of 3

    Build in slices

    The first slice is the piece that removes the most typing. It goes into use while the next slice is built, so feedback comes from real days, not demos.

  3. Step 3 of 3

    Run and measure

    Once it is live, a monthly care plan can cover monitoring, fixes and the next improvements, prioritised by what the numbers say.

Questions

Questions we get asked

  • Do we own the software?

    Who owns the code and the accounts the system runs in is written into the scope before any build starts, so there is no question about it later.

  • What does it cost?

    It depends on what the process needs, so we price each project in writing after a short scoping call rather than publish a rate card. The written scope sets out exactly what the price covers.

  • How long does it take?

    It depends on the scope. The written scope splits the build into slices with a date for each, so something useful is in use before the whole build is finished.

  • Can it connect to what we already use?

    Usually. WhatsApp, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, accounting packages, payment providers and most systems with an API or an export. If something cannot be connected we say so in the scope.

  • Should we build it or buy a subscription?

    Often buy: accounting, payroll and email work the same way for every business, and off-the-shelf tools do them well. Build the part of the process that makes you different, or the layer that joins the tools you already pay for. More on when custom software beats a subscription.

  • What if we need changes later?

    That is what the monthly care plan is for. Changes go on a short list and are delivered in order of what moves the business most; nothing is silently absorbed or dropped.

  • Where are you based?

    Alif Logix works from four locations: Lahore (Pakistan), Southall (United Kingdom), Pampanga (Philippines) and Sharjah (UAE). We work with clients anywhere, in writing and on calls.
