What we build for our clients
A sample of the work we deliver, from complete systems with a web version, Android and iOS apps and an admin console to online stores and websites with a blog.

Caflor
Ornamental plant store in the Dominican Republic
A project we built for a client. An online store for ornamental plants: a catalog by category with photos and care notes for each plant, search, and orders over WhatsApp with the plant already filled in, plus a blog of care guides. Online store, website and blog.

You own everything
Source code, infrastructure accounts and documentation are yours from day one. No lock-in, no hostage situations.
Senior engineering
The people who scope your project are the people who build it. Nothing gets handed down to a junior bench.
Bilingual delivery
We work in Spanish and English, across Dominican and North American time zones, with documentation in both.
We answer after launch
Support and maintenance are part of the agreement, not an extra cost you discover when something breaks.

Can you turn our internal tool into a SaaS?
Yes. We review what you have, add company accounts, subscriptions and an admin console, and keep your current users working during the change.
Who owns the platform and the customer data?
You do. The code, the cloud and payment accounts, and all customer data are in your name from day one.
Can you work alongside our in-house team?
Yes. We work in English, with hours that overlap with the Americas, and join your planning, code reviews and weekly demos.
