Why Dotnapps

Discover why we stand out

A studio that carries product risk of its own — and brings that instinct to client work.

We ship our own products

Business OS is live software with real customers, not a portfolio slide. Client work is built to that bar.

Idea to scale, one team

Product, design, engineering, AI, and DevOps under one roof. No handoffs between vendors.

Can we add nine more filters here? Two cover 90% of use. The rest is scope that won't move your numbers.

Senior, and opinionated

The people who scope your project build it — and push back when a feature isn't worth it.

Our products

Software we build for ourselves

We don't only work on client roadmaps. Business OS is a product we own, run, and sell — and the bar we hold every engagement to.

Business OS

A suite of business applications on one platform — one account, one bill, one design system. CRM and Invoice are live; a dozen more are mapped.

Industries

Where we've done the work

Domain knowledge matters. These are the sectors we've shipped in and can move fast in.

Fintech & Payments Healthtech Logistics & Supply Chain Retail & E-commerce B2B SaaS PropTech & Real Estate Education Professional Services
Selected work

Shipped, not just designed

A sample of recent builds. Some client work is under NDA, so a few of these are anonymised.

Fintech

KYC onboarding, 11 steps to 3

Redesigned and re-engineered a compliance-heavy onboarding flow on a new stack, without losing a single check.

Result — drop-off down sharply, approvals same-day.

Logistics

An ops platform replacing six spreadsheets

A custom internal system for dispatch, tracking, and billing across regions and teams.

Result — one source of truth, manual reconciliation gone.

B2B SaaS

An AI agent handling tier-1 support

Built on the client's own docs and ticket history, with a clean handoff to humans when it isn't sure.

Result — faster first response, routine tickets deflected.

Healthcare

A patient portal and provider console

Two apps on one platform — bookings, records, and messaging with a full audit trail.

Result — fewer phone calls, clearer records.

Outcomes shown are illustrative — swap in real figures and named case studies as they clear.

Process

How the work flows, start to scale

Small teams, short cycles, and working software you can see every week.

  1. Discovery

    Users, constraints, and what success actually looks like — agreed before anything is built.

  2. Design

    Flows first, then interface. We prototype the risky parts before a line of production code.

  3. Build

    Ship in slices. You see working software every week and steer as it takes shape.

  4. Scale

    Performance, cost, and reliability once real users arrive — with a team that stays.

Ways to work with us

Three engagement models

Fixed-scope project

A clear brief, a fixed outcome, a fixed budget.

Best for MVPs, redesigns, and well-defined builds.

Dedicated team

An embedded squad — design, engineering, PM — that ships as yours, month to month.

Best for ongoing product development.

Advisory

Architecture reviews, technology strategy, and roadmap work alongside your own engineers.

Best when you have a team but need direction.

FAQ

We have the answers

Straight answers on how we scope, price, work, and hand over.

What does Dotnapps do?

We design and build software for other companies, and we run our own product line, Business OS. A studio and a product company in one.

Products or services — which is it?

Both. Services are how we help your team ship; Business OS is software we own and sell. The same people work on both.

Do you work remotely?

Yes. We work with teams across time zones, with overlap hours agreed up front.

How long does an MVP take?

Usually 6–12 weeks to something real in users' hands, depending on scope and how much of it is genuinely new.

How do you price work?

Fixed price for well-defined scope, a monthly rate for a dedicated team, a day rate for advisory. We scope before we quote.

Is there a minimum engagement?

Advisory starts at a few days. Build work is typically four weeks or more — below that, a freelancer is usually the better fit.

Do you work with our existing team?

Yes — we embed, pair, and hand over. Advisory engagements assume you already have engineers.

What's the process?

Discovery, design, build in weekly slices, then scale. You see working software every week, not one big reveal.

What happens after launch?

We stay for a support window, then move to maintenance or a dedicated-team arrangement if you want it.

Who owns the code and IP?

You do, from day one. Repositories, infrastructure, and accounts are yours throughout.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes, before the first detailed conversation if you need it.

How do you handle our data and security?

Least-access by default, your cloud or ours, and we follow your compliance requirements — we build regulated products already.
