Digital engineering: applications built in slices, systems modernised without a freeze.
Modernise systems and build applications for growth. Business applications, application modernisation and migration, and system integration and process digitisation, with your current system live until the new one has earned the switch.
Four sub-services and one product
Each has its own page with the order we work in and what a slice has to prove before the old path is switched off. This page is the map.
Business applications and automation
ERP and back-office systems, apps for staff out in the field, internal tools that retire the shared inbox, and automation of the manual steps that quietly eat a week. Built in slices while your current system keeps running.
Custom application development →ModernisationApplication modernisation and legacy migration
Replacing a system that cannot be switched off, in slices, with old and new running together until the new path has earned the traffic. No big-bang cutover, no two-year rewrite, no freeze.
Legacy system modernisation →IntegrationSystem integration between ERP, CRM and the shop floor
Idempotent retries, error queues with a named owner, contract tests so an upstream change breaks a test instead of a customer, and a decided system of record.
System integration →DigitisationProcess digitisation, from paper and WhatsApp to a system
Mapping the process people actually follow against the SOP, approvals with an audit trail, capture that works on a phone with no signal, and adoption that holds.
Process digitisation →ProductUloborus, manufacturing operations for Indian factories
A manufacturing operations system built and run by Woodfrog, for the floor that will not fill in a form it gets nothing back from.

Each one is the opening line of a deep page, because it is what buyers actually say on the first call.
The vendor is gone, the framework is out of support, and the system still runs the business
The full rewrite is the version that gets cancelled. The first slice is chosen for how easily it can be reversed, not for how small it is.
The ERP says shipped, the CRM says pending, and the shop floor is still building it
Each symptom is a missing mechanism, not a missing connector. The system of record decision is yours, and it cannot be skipped.
The process runs on paper, a WhatsApp group and one spreadsheet
The gap between what people do and what the SOP says is usually the project. A system slower than the paper it replaced gets worked around.
Fourteen orders are stuck and the report cannot unstick them
Some questions need a button, not another chart. The moment an app can change data, it owes you an audit trail.
What we have actually delivered
No quantified case study is filed under this pillar yet, so the proof is the vertical-wide figures and the one named customer who has agreed to tell the whole story.

Fixed scope, fixed price, and a pod of three who stay on it.
- 01
Week 1, fixed-fee audit
Two calls and a written one-pager. Yours to keep whether or not you continue.
- 02
Weeks 2 to 6, build
Something real in front of real users by week three. Median six weeks to the first production-grade artefact.
- 03
Week 7 onward, operate
Quarterly reviews and on-call governance. The people who built it pick up the phone.
What buyers ask about digital engineering
Do you do custom application development?
Yes: ERP and back-office systems, field apps, internal tools and the automation between them, built in slices while the current system stays live. Something a real user can open by week three.
Is a legacy migration a big-bang cutover?
No. Old and new run together on the same traffic, every slice reconciles before the old path is switched off, and the undocumented behaviour is treated as a finding rather than a surprise.
Do you do API development?
System integration covers the interfaces between your systems, including the contracts and the tests that stop an upstream change reaching a customer. It is sold as integration work, not as standalone API development.
Can you work around an ERP we are not allowed to customise?
Yes. The customisation is refused, the upgrade path must stay clean, and the work still has to happen. What survives is a satellite system with a record of every deviation.
Where are you based?
Pune, India, delivering across India, APAC and the US.
Start with the slice that can be reversed
Two calls, a fixed fee, and a one-pager you keep either way: which system goes first, which slice is safest, and what a real user will be able to open by week three.
