Made for youby Softloom

Our largest work is software that started as somebody’s idea. A learning platform. A marketplace joining two sides. A mobile app. A system for a field nobody had bothered to build one for. We build it from scratch and we stay on afterwards.

What it looks like

Who it is for

For anyone launching a platform or a new service, and for organisations whose way of working no ready-made system fits. We built Wisal, a private-tutoring marketplace for the Arab world. We also built a fire-rated door factory its entire quotation system. That is roughly the range.

What it does for you

  • 01

    Connected to what you already have

    The new system talks to your accounting, your stores, your devices.

  • 02

    Yours to keep

    The code and the data are yours, documented.

  • 03

    A fixed price after design

    We quote once we have seen the real shape of it, and that quote holds.

  • 04

    Built in stages you can see

    You are using a real version early, which changes what you ask for next. It always does.

  • 05

    We stay on

    Training, maintenance, and whatever the system needs after that.

From our work

Shield Doors · Eltaras Group

A fire-rated door manufacturer. Their quotations depend on material, fire rating, model and size, and every one of them was being worked out by hand. We built them an offline Windows application in Arabic and English. A guided quotation builder running on their own price book. The bilingual PDF quotation they already used, technical spec pages and hardware schedules and all, reproduced exactly. Customer records and deal follow-up. Payment milestones at 60, 35 and 5 per cent. And five families of reports, exporting to Excel and PDF.

How a job actually goes

Same method whether we are setting up something ready-made or starting from nothing.

  1. 1

    Listen

    A week or two watching how the work actually runs.

  2. 2

    Design

    Screens on paper, approved by you.

  3. 3

    Build

    Stages. You are using it early.

  4. 4

    Support

    Training, maintenance, and the next thing.

For technical teams

  • Web, mobile and desktop from one shared core
  • Cloud hosting, or on your servers
  • Documented APIs and source code handover
  • Security, encryption and backups from day one

Common questions

How long does a dedicated system take?

A first usable version in 6 to 10 weeks, depending on size. The full thing takes longer and we will tell you how much longer before you commit.

How is the price calculated?

A fixed quote once the listening and design stage is done. We would rather quote late and be right.

Who owns the code?

You do. Source code and documentation are handed over at launch.

Do you build platforms the public uses?

Yes. Wisal is a private-tutoring marketplace for the Arab world. A teacher applies and is reviewed before approval, a student books a live lesson, and the money is held until the lesson is over. A complete platform in Arabic and English, from the first account through to paying the teachers.
