nordstack complex online services delivered faster nordstack our work ai assisted delivery book a call software development consulting complex online services delivered faster with less risk we build the online services that are too involved for a template and we modernise the decades old systems your organisation already depends on without switching them off real time collaboration systems that work across countries privacy first architecture and integration with the tools you already run ai assisted engineering means shorter timelines more test coverage and fewer surprises along the way book a free discovery call see what we ve built independent uk company building and running production software for international clients since 2021 our work hard problems shipped decades old systems brought onto modern platforms while they stayed in daily use and products of our own that are live today every one of these has a full case study built for clients we respect our clients privacy so organisations are not named conference platform a conference platform in use for 20 years rebuilt in flight for a large international organisation the challenge a business critical conference platform in continuous use for more than 20 years and last rewritten well over a decade ago was stuck on an unsupported runtime and an obsolete front end framework it was difficult to maintain or extended and it could not be switched off while delegates depended on it what we built a slice by slice migration to a current runtime a typed codebase and a modern front end a modern graphql api a comprehensive unit and end to end test suite and a redesigned interface all delivered while the original system stayed live legacy modernisation zero downtime migration real time read the case study time and leave system a two decade old hr system off windows and onto the latest net for a large international organisation the challenge a nearly two decade old hr application on an over ten year old version of net that only ran on ageing windows servers it held the organisation s working hours leave and overtime rules including specialised timekeeping rules for staff working in different countries around the world so it could neither be replaced quickly nor left where it was and with a large user base the familiar look and feel had to survive the upgrade what we built an upgrade to the latest net containerised on linux with a rules engine that encodes the staff regulations for every country staff work in rfid badge scanners ms teams approvals outlook calendar sync and hr payroll integration all carried across intact legacy modernisation multi country timekeeping hardware integration read the case study products we build and run alba ticket helpdesk and project tracking in one place the challenge teams that want a helpdesk and a project tracker usually end up with two tools a stack of separately priced add ons and a cloud only licence when they need the data on their own servers what we built our own platform combining a customer portal with sla tracked agent queues kanban and scrum boards with sprints and epics configurable workflows and custom fields live updates single sign on and github and gitlab integration cloud hosted or self hosted saas platform self hosted option real time updates github gitlab read the case study elastic time time tracking that actually gets used the challenge we used toggl for over ten years in mid 2025 a new reporting module broke our workflow and after six months with no fix in sight we built the time tracker we actually wanted fixing a decade of smaller frustrations along the way what we built our own saas platform with fast activity logging and smart autocomplete contracts and phases with per rate and per currency billing invoices generated straight from tracked time exportable reports and jira integration saas platform invoicing pdf jira integration read the case study see all our work ai assisted delivery shorter timelines lower risk we use ai tooling throughout delivery and it changes what a focused team can promise prototypes arrive in days tests are written alongside the code and reviews run on every change you see working software sooner and find out about problems while they are still cheap a working prototype in days we use ai tooling to put a clickable functioning version of your idea in front of you fast you validate the direction before committing a real budget not after role specific ai agents agents for development database work qa security review and technical writing each with your project s conventions built in handle the boilerplate migrations and plumbing our engineers spend their time on the parts that are genuinely hard test coverage you can see ai generated test suites and automated review on every change mean regressions are caught before release not by your customers and legacy behaviour is pinned before it is replaced no surprises at release we use an ai agent to audit the every codebase and its dependencies against an owasp checklist verify each finding in the code and track what is new fixed or still open before every release the same audit runs as a go or no go gate no lock in documentation is written as we build not as an afterthought your own team or any future supplier can pick the system up without us ai in your product where it earns its place sometimes the right answer is an ai api at runtime sometimes it is doing the work ahead of time as with enough for where reference data is compiled and kept current by an agent and shipped as plain data with no runtime cost we make that call pragmatically on value cost and risk what we do engineering excellence human approach great software is built by people who listen first and code second we combine deep technical expertise with genuine care for your success from the first conversation through to running the system in production complex web applications real time collaboration data heavy back offices customer portals and services built for heavy concurrent use we take on the systems that are too involved for a template or a no code tool legacy modernisation without a rewrite twenty year old systems brought onto current platforms slice by slice while they stay in daily use unsupported runtimes frameworks and servers replaced underneath with the look and feel your users know preserved and no big bang cutover systems that span countries rules that differ per country public holidays and working patterns per location multilingual content finances in several currencies we build for organisations whose people and customers are not all in one place integrations hardware ms teams outlook sharepoint single sign on hr and payroll systems even rfid badge readers at the door we make the pieces talk to each other reliably privacy security by design local first and zero knowledge architectures where the provider cannot read the data it holds a monthly security audit cycle with tracked findings dependency scanning and a software bill of materials in every build partnership not just support we don t disappear after launch the client systems in our case studies have been in continuous service for up to 20 years and are still evolving think of us as an extension of your team your vision our craft you know your business better than anyone we bring the technical expertise to make your ideas real and we stay the client systems in our case studies have been in continuous service for up to 20 years and are still evolving no jargon no unnecessary complexity just software that works and keeps working open source we love open source everything we build stands on the work of open source maintainers we give back by maintaining and funding our own open protocol and by sponsoring the projects we rely on every day maintained sponsored by nordstack ligature protocol your devices working as one an open source alternative to the vendor ecosystems that only let your devices work together if they all come from the same manufacturer ligature gives you the freedom to choose the devices you want with apps for linux macos and android and moves what you copy the notifications you get and the files you share between them directly over your own network visit ligatureprotocol org source on github mix devices from any manufacturer with no lock in one clipboard notifications and files across them all no account no server no company in between projects we sponsor pnpm by the pnpm team the fast disk efficient package manager behind every project we ship including the site you are reading now sponsored via github sponsors yjs by kevin jahns the crdt framework that makes real time collaboration and offline first editing dependable in the products we build sponsored via github sponsors pothos by michael hayes a type safe code first graphql schema builder for typescript that keeps our apis honest as they grow sponsored via github sponsors got a
