What we build

Software, systems, websites, mobile apps, and everything in between.

We build the custom digital infrastructure that modern organizations run on—from automation and robust backend systems to front-facing websites and mobile apps. Start with what you need, and scale up as you grow.

All services
01

Business systems

The system a company actually runs on: products, inventory, sales, customers, employees and expenses in one place instead of five spreadsheets. Vortex is ours; we build the same custom infrastructure shaped to how you work.

  • Multi-branch and multi-user from the start
  • Point of sale, inventory and supplier credit
  • HR, attendance and payroll from the same records
  • Reports that close the month instead of starting an argument
02

Property and rental management

Units, tenants, leases, rent cycles and maintenance in one system — for apartment blocks, commercial buildings, guesthouses and hotels. Who is in, who has paid, and what needs fixing.

  • Units, tenants and lease terms in one register
  • Rent due, paid and overdue at a glance
  • Room status, bookings and check-in for hotels
  • Maintenance requests and costs per property
03

Learning management

Platforms for institutes, training centres and companies that teach. We build deep educational workflows that start from the registrar's office — enrolment, attendance, grading — not just a basic video player.

  • Courses, lessons and multimedia materials
  • Enrolment, attendance and progress per student
  • Quizzes, automated grading and certificates
04

Mobile apps

Custom mobile applications for your customers or field staff. Developed for both app stores from a single unified codebase — or deployed as a high-performance progressive web app to reduce your maintenance costs.

  • Cross-platform development for both app stores
  • Seamless integration with your backend systems
  • Offline-first capability for field operations where connectivity drops
05

Logistics and location

Delivery points, driver apps, ordered stops, turn-by-turn navigation and proof of delivery — bringing automated tracking to the part of your business that happens away from a desk.

  • Maps, navigation and optimized route planning
  • Photo proof and live delivery status per stop
  • Integrated field staff attendance and payroll tracking
06

Web applications

Customer portals, admin dashboards and complex internal tools tailored to your workflows, backed by robust authentication, secure permissions, and real-time data storage.

  • Granular roles and permissions from day one
  • Actionable analytics and custom reporting tools
  • Fully responsive design for desktop, tablet, and mobile
07

Websites

Company sites, product showcases, and landing pages optimized for maximum performance on mid-range mobile devices over cellular networks — ensuring your audience experiences zero lag.

  • Mobile-first architecture tested on real-world networks
  • Multilingual support for diverse markets
  • Integrated search, analytics, and high-conversion contact flows
08

Workflow automation

Eliminate repetitive manual tasks: the report someone rebuilds by hand every week, the message someone retypes, or data carried manually between disparate systems — automated completely by custom software.

  • Scheduled background jobs, automated alerts, and notifications
  • Robust integrations connecting third-party tools you already use
  • Fewer manual steps and eliminated human error
Support, hosting & maintenance

And then we keep it running seamlessly.

Software is never finished at launch. We host, monitor, secure, and maintain your systems with guaranteed response times in writing — keeping your business online and reliable from day one.

  • Encrypted off-site backups, regularly restore-tested
  • Proactive 24/7 uptime and error monitoring
  • SLA-backed response times, not vague promises

Next from our workshop

In final build

Vortex Distribution — for the businesses that move the goods.

Distributors, wholesalers and importers run on questions Vortex was never built to answer: what came in from the factory, what went out on which truck, who still owes for last week, and which empty jars are yet to come back. Vortex Distribution answers them in one system.

  • Warehouses, shops and trucks in one view
  • Driver loads and end-of-day settlement
  • Customer credit with container limits
  • Returnable jars and crates tracked back

Two systems, two countries, both still running.

Short, specific accounts of what was broken, what we built, and what changed.

Running a three-branch shop without spreadsheets

Stock was counted by hand in three places, yesterday's sales arrived a day late, and payroll was rebuilt from paper every month.

A delivery workflow a new driver can follow on day one

Delivery points lived in experienced drivers' heads and on paper notes. New drivers took weeks to become useful, and hours and pay were tracked by hand.

How we work

A short path from a real problem to software in use.

Five stages, in this order. Nothing is skipped, and you know at every point what happens next.

  1. 01

    Discover

    We spend time where the work happens and write down what is actually costing you money.

  2. 02

    Shape

    Scope, screens and a price, in writing, before anything is built.

  3. 03

    Build

    You see working software early and often — not a reveal at the end.

  4. 04

    Launch

    We deploy it, move your data in, and train the people who will use it daily.

  5. 05

    Support

    Backups, monitoring and an agreed response time. You always know who to call.

A website usually takes two to four weeks. A business system takes longer — we will tell you honestly which one you are asking for before you pay anything.

We also build inPythonDjangoPHPC#.NET Core

We choose proven, boring tools on purpose. Your system should still be maintainable in five years — by us or by anyone else.
