  4. Build

    Two-week sprints with demos, code reviews and CI/CD from day one.

  5. Test

    Automated, manual, performance and security testing before release.

  6. Launch & grow

    Store submission, monitoring, support and continuous improvement.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to build a taxi or delivery app?

A production-ready MVP with rider, driver and admin components typically takes 3–5 months. We ship a working build every two weeks so you see progress from the first sprint.

Do you work with clients outside the UK, Iraq and France?

Yes. Our teams work remotely with clients across Europe, the Middle East and beyond. Our Finland ride-hailing platform is a good example of a fully remote engagement.

Who owns the source code?

You do. On final payment all source code, designs and infrastructure definitions are transferred to you, with documentation and a hand-over session.

Can you take over an existing project?

Absolutely. We start with a code and architecture audit, agree a stabilisation plan and then continue development — this is one of our most common engagements.

Which cloud should we use — Azure or AWS?

Both are excellent. We usually recommend Azure for .NET-heavy estates and Microsoft 365 organisations, and AWS where your team already has AWS skills or specific services in mind. We'll advise based on cost, compliance and your team.
