ANCHI Software Development
From idea to robust, data-ready applications. Full-stack software development services to build robust, scalable, and user-friendly applications. We design and implement custom software that fits your workflows, integrates with your data and devices, and supports long-term growth.
Who we focus on
SMEs, Startups & Product Teams
Startups
Needing MVPs or v1 products
SMEs
Wanting customer portals, internal tools, or new digital services
Training/EdTech Companies
E-learning platforms, assessment tools
Clinics / Health Providers
Non-diagnostic software, admin/telehealth tools
Engineering / Industrial Companies
Dashboards, IoT UIs, workflow tools
Research Groups & Labs
Many labs need:
- Experiment management dashboards
- Subject/recruitment tracking systems
- Data annotation tools
- Simple portals to share results with partners
Typical pains
Worked with freelancers or cheap agencies before and got: messy code, no documentation, no tests, apps that break when usage grows.
Internal devs are overloaded: product roadmap delayed, long backlog of "tech debt + small features".
No one owns architecture: many micro-tools (Google Sheets, Excel, old PHP app, separate mobile app) not talking to each other.
They want: simple, maintainable systems that integrate with existing tools (Lark, n8n, CRM, payment gateways, etc.).
Research labs: Students build tools that are abandoned when they graduate, have no user management, no backups, no security.
Service pillars
Pillar A – Product Discovery & Prototyping
Go from idea → clickable prototype → prioritized roadmap
Activities:
- Workshops to understand business goals, users, and constraints
- Map existing systems (website, CRM, spreadsheets, manual processes)
- Draft UX flows and wireframes (Figma / low-fi mockups)
- Identify MVP scope vs. future phases
Output:
Product brief (features, user journeys, tech constraints), prototype or basic proof-of-concept to validate with users/investors.
Pillar B – Web & Mobile Applications
Full-stack development for web and mobile
Web apps:
- Dashboards, admin panels
- Customer/self-service portals
- Learning platforms (courses, question banks, practice systems)
- Experiment management tools
Mobile apps:
- Data collection apps (questionnaires, EMA, sensor integration)
- Learning/practice apps
- Companion apps for hardware (EEG/IoT devices, etc.)
Pillar C – Backend, APIs & Integration
Where ANCHI's "systems thinking" shines
What we do:
- Backend systems: REST/GraphQL APIs, background workers, robust data models
- Integration: Payment gateways, email/SMS, CRM/ERP/LMS, Lark, Slack, Google Workspace
- Data layer: Structures data for future AI/analytics, ensures audit logs and traceability
Pillar D – Automation & Internal Tools
For companies that live in Excel + Gmail + Google Drive chaos
ANCHI can:
- Build internal dashboards (project tracking, sales funnels, student progress, patient flows)
- Connect systems via automation tools (n8n, Make, Zapier, custom scripts)
- Replace fragile spreadsheets with small web apps: consistent forms, validations, reporting and permissions
Fit:
This pillar fits well with LaunchPad: giving SMEs a "system backbone" that's not over-engineered.
Pillar E – Modernization & Technical Cleanup
For companies with legacy tools or "half-broken" systems
Services:
- Audit existing codebases (security, architecture, maintainability)
- Gradually refactor or rewrite: monolithic PHP apps → modular services, old admin panels → modern UI, scattered scripts → structured pipelines
- Add: proper auth, logging, backups, environments (dev/staging/production)
Goal:
Stabilize the foundation so future development goes faster.
How the Software Dev service works
Discovery & Blueprint
2–4 weeks
Activities:
- Clarify problem, target users, constraints
- Map current tools and data sources
- Define MVP features & phases
- Choose tech stack aligned with client's team & budget
Deliverable:
Product spec, architecture overview, rough timeline & cost estimate.
MVP / Phase 1 Delivery
1–3 months
Activities:
- Design UI/UX
- Build backend + frontend
- Set up automation & integrations
- Tests + initial deployment (staging + production)
Deliverable:
A working product in production, basic docs and training for client's team.
Continuous Development & Maintenance
Ongoing / Retainer
For clients who want ANCHI as a long-term dev partner:
Includes:
- Ongoing feature development (incremental sprints)
- Bug fixes & performance improvements
- Security updates and dependency management
- "Idea refiner": help prioritise new features vs. tech debt
Can be a retainer with agreed number of dev days per month.
Boundaries, quality & legal framing
Quality standards
- Code in repositories with branching strategy
- Basic tests (unit/integration) where appropriate
- CI/CD pipelines (at least for staging → production)
- Documentation (README + architecture notes + env setup)
Security & privacy
For apps dealing with personal data:
- Clear separation of environments
- Proper access control
- Logging of critical operations
For health-adjacent apps: ANCHI builds administrative/support software, not official diagnostic tools.
IP & ownership
Custom code for a specific product = owned by the client after full payment. ANCHI keeps the right to reuse internal libraries and generic components.
