Business software.
Built around
your operations.
Revni designs and develops business applications, internal tools and connected workflows. We bring your records, rules and everyday work into software your team can use, from the first scope discussion through to launch and handover.
One application.Designed around your business
What does your business need next?
You may be exploring a problem, ready to build a defined application or looking to improve an existing system. The first conversation should establish the right next step and the information needed to scope it responsibly.
- Understand the process
- Test the assumptions
- Define the first release
Clarify an idea
If the problem is clear but the solution is not, start by reviewing the process and existing tools. The aim is to decide whether custom development is appropriate, what a useful first release would contain and which uncertainties need to be resolved.
- Bring to the conversation
- The business problem, your users and the tools involved.
- The decision to make
- Agree whether a custom application is the right next step.
- Review the requirements
- Resolve dependencies
- Agree acceptance
Build a defined application
If you have a brief, workflow or designs, we review them alongside your systems and data. We identify missing decisions and dependencies, then agree the scope, milestones and acceptance approach before development begins.
- Bring to the conversation
- Your brief, workflow, designs and existing systems.
- The decision to make
- Define the scope, milestones and how the release will be reviewed.
- Review the current system
- Retain what works
- Prioritise the change
Improve an existing system
If software is already in use, we first need to understand its code, hosting, documentation and current problems. That review informs whether to extend it, connect it to other tools or plan a phased replacement.
- Bring to the conversation
- Access to the current application, documentation and known issues.
- The decision to make
- Decide whether to extend, connect or replace the system in phases.
From the first question
to working software.
We design, build and connect applications around your people, business rules and existing systems. Each part of the engagement produces something your team can review and use.
Discovery & application design
Define the right first release.
What we do
- Review the process with the people who use it, including ownership, handoffs and exceptions.
- Assess existing tools and where custom development will help.
- Map user journeys and screens for your team to review before the build.
What you receive
- First-release scope and priorities
- User roles and screen designs
- Agreed acceptance criteria
Custom application development
Build around how your team works.
What we do
- Develop the interface, business logic and data structure together.
- Create forms, work queues, approvals and reporting around everyday tasks.
- Include validation, permissions and the exceptions your team needs to handle.
What you receive
- Responsive workspaces
- Structured, validated records
- Role-based workflows
Integration & system improvement
Keep useful systems connected.
What we do
- Connect the application to systems that already hold important business information.
- Extend or build around existing tools that still do their job.
- Plan migration or replacement where the agreed scope requires it.
What you receive
- API connections and data mappings
- Import and migration planning
- An agreed approach to existing tools
Testing, launch & handover
Prepare the software and your team.
What we do
- Test user journeys, permissions, data and integrations.
- Support your team’s review against real working scenarios.
- Clarify release responsibilities, documentation and ongoing support needs.
What you receive
- Acceptance checks and deployment
- Practical operating notes
- An agreed support plan
Start with the business problem.
A spreadsheet or process walkthrough is enough to begin. We also explore decisions, corrections and permissions that the file does not capture.
Built for the work
behind your business.
Keep records accurate, coordinate work and make the next action clear. We build operational applications around these needs, or add focused capabilities to the tools you already use.
Business & project applications
When information is scattered across files and inboxes.
Bring customer, job or project information into one shared record. Keep ownership, status, files and decisions together so people can find the context and act.
- Structured records, search and filters
- Linked documents and task ownership
- Status history and controlled exports
Internal tools & operations systems
When work needs clearer ownership and coordination.
Give teams a practical workspace to allocate work, manage queues and resolve exceptions. Each role sees the information and actions it needs, with a shared view for managers.
- Work allocation and request queues
- Team views and scheduling inputs
- Exception handling and role-specific screens
Workflow & approval systems
When requests and decisions are difficult to track.
Capture the information needed for review and route it to the right person. Keep changes, comments and approvals attached to the work, so the process remains traceable.
- Request forms and routing rules
- Review stages and delegated permissions
- Notifications and decision history
Operational dashboards & reporting
When teams need to see what needs attention and why.
Connect operational summaries to the underlying records. Help managers move from a backlog or overdue item to the work behind it and investigate what needs to happen next.
- Work-in-progress views and agreed measures
- Filters and record-level detail
- Data freshness indicators and exports
Build what you need.
Keep what already works.
Custom software fits when standard tools cannot support your process well. We first consider configuration, integration or a smaller extension, so a new build solves a real gap without adding unnecessary complexity.
Configure
The capability already exists.
Your platform can support the process, but its setup is incomplete.
Improve fields, permissions, forms or reporting within the tools you already use.
Connect
The handoff is the problem.
Your tools work individually, but people copy information between them.
Connect the systems so information can move between them without replacing either one.
Build
The process needs its own application.
Your rules, users or shared records need a workflow that existing products cannot support cleanly.
Create a purpose-built application, or a focused extension where that is enough.
Start with a complete
working process.
For a team coordinating service jobs, a useful first release could bring together:
- A shared job record
- A responsible owner
- The required documents
- A route from intake to completion
Make the first release usable
Capture the request, allocate responsibility, track progress, handle changes and record completion. Agree what successful use looks like with the people doing the work, then review that complete process before expanding it.
Plan what comes next
Sequence additional reporting, external access and deeper integrations around real dependencies. Anything essential to operating the first release safely belongs in it from the start.
Connected to your systems.
Clear about your data.
Your application needs to work with the tools that hold your customer, financial and operational records. We define what moves between systems, who owns it and how your team handles exceptions.
Connect your systems
Establish how information moves between your existing tools and the new application.
- Check the connection. Confirm which systems need to exchange data and whether their APIs support the required actions.
- Define the exchange. Agree record ownership, data validation and what triggers an update.
- Handle repeat and failed updates. Include authentication, duplicate prevention and synchronisation in the design.
Move the right data
Where migration is needed, prepare the records and the transition before switching over.
- Review the source. Identify which records to move, missing values and inconsistencies to resolve.
- Test before cutover. Run trial imports and reconcile the results against the original records.
- Plan the transition. Agree a practical cutover approach so the move supports day-to-day operations.
Keep control
as information moves.
Access, accountability and recovery are part of the connection.
Permissions & accountability
Define who can view, create, change, approve and export information. Enforce those rules behind the interface and retain a history of important actions. Agree retention requirements and any security or compliance reviews within the project scope.
Exceptions & recovery
Make incomplete data, rejected requests and connection failures visible to the right person, with a route to correct or retry them. Match monitoring to the system’s operational importance.
A considered stack.
A maintainable system.
We choose the technology around your existing systems, data, hosting needs and the people who will maintain it.
The screens your team works in
Forms, shared records and operational queues that work across screen sizes.
React
Next.js
TypeScriptAccessibility, connectivity and file capture shape the interface. Offline operation or a native app needs a separate assessment.
The rules behind the work
Validation, permissions, approval rules and APIs that connect your application to other systems.
Node.js
Python
.NETRules are enforced in application logic, so decisions do not depend on what a screen happens to show.
Records with structure and history
Structured information, related files and the history behind the work.
PostgreSQLObject storageData relationships, retention needs and useful exports are considered during design.
Ready to release and operate
Environments, release checks, monitoring and backups matched to the system.
AWS
AzureContainersCI/CDHosting and release choices follow access requirements, expected usage, operating cost and who will maintain the software.
See the progress.
Shape the decisions.
Delivery is organised around review points, so your team can influence the work and understand what is ready before moving forward.
Bring the right people in.
A business owner to set priorities, people who know the daily work, someone responsible for existing systems and a person authorised to accept the release.
We agree the review cadence and required access at the start.
Agree the first release
Review the workflow, users, documents and systems together, including exceptions and dependencies.
Your review Scope, priorities, assumptions and acceptance criteria.
Review how it will work
Walk through the screens, journeys, records and permissions, with data and integration decisions considered alongside the interface.
Your review The design and whether it supports the complete process.
Shape the working software
Review working increments against the agreed scope. Understand the effect of requested changes on cost and sequencing before they enter the work.
Your review Completed priorities, feedback and decisions needed next.
Validate real working scenarios
Your nominated users check everyday work and exceptions alongside our checks of journeys, invalid inputs, permissions and connections.
Your review Acceptance results, unresolved issues and readiness for launch.
Agree the move into use
Review deployment, any agreed migration and the transition for your team. Discuss further phases and support separately from the first release.
Your review Launch plan, handover material and ongoing responsibilities.
Ready for your team
to take forward.
You receive the agreed application, the information needed to maintain it and a clear understanding of what happens after launch.
The application
Software, configured workflows and integrations reviewed against the agreed acceptance criteria.
- Application and source access
- Known issues and remaining limitations
- Next priorities made clear
The operating knowledge
Practical documentation shaped around the people who will use and maintain the system.
- Repository and environment access
- Deployment notes and system dependencies
- Data and integration guidance
- User and administrator guidance
Agree who runs what.
Agree ownership and source access for the project. Assign hosting, backups, monitoring, incident handling and future changes to your team, a technical partner or an agreed Revni support arrangement.
Ongoing arrangements include recurring third-party costs, so the running requirements are clear alongside the software itself.
Scope the work.
Plan the investment.
A useful estimate starts with the process, systems and constraints behind your first release. Here is what shapes the work and how to begin.
What shapes cost and timing?
- The application
- Workflows, business rules, user roles and release requirements.
- The connections and data
- Integrations, migration and access to existing systems.
- The delivery conditions
- Your team’s review time, target dates and third-party dependencies.
Include hosting, licences and ongoing support alongside development when planning the total investment.
Start with your current process.
You do not need a finished specification. Bring what you already have:
- The process you want to improve and who uses it
- A spreadsheet, form or workflow example
- The systems involved
- Your priorities, constraints and target dates
What the conversation helps establish
The first-release scope, dependencies and delivery approach needed for an estimate. Where significant uncertainties remain, a focused discovery step can resolve them before a larger development commitment.
