Services
From idea to operating system.
Eight ways we work, from a two-week architecture review to a platform that runs a company's daily operation. Most engagements start with one and grow into several.
Custom Software Development
Systems designed around a specific operation rather than a product category.
Who it is forOrganizations whose process does not fit off-the-shelf software, and whose data matters.
Discuss thisWhat we build
- Operational platforms with roles, approvals and audit trails
- Internal tools replacing spreadsheet and paper processes
- Reporting and reconciliation systems across departments
Typical problems
- Records kept in parallel spreadsheets that no longer agree
- Approvals that cannot be traced after the fact
- Head office and site working from different numbers
Our approach
We map the current process end to end, model the data, then build in increments that each replace a real part of the manual workflow.
Web Application Development
Fast, accessible, standards-based web applications and public sites.
Who it is forTeams that need a web product to be quick, reliable and maintainable by more than one person.
Discuss thisWhat we build
- Customer and partner portals
- Dashboards and admin consoles
- Corporate sites with structured, editable content
Typical problems
- Slow, fragile front ends built on abandoned stacks
- Content that only a developer can change
- Interfaces that fail on low bandwidth or older devices
Our approach
Semantic HTML, a real design system, server rendering where it helps, and performance treated as a requirement rather than a phase.
AI & Intelligent Systems
Applied intelligence placed inside an existing workflow, with evaluation.
Who it is forOperations already generating structured data and documents at volume.
Discuss thisWhat we build
- Document understanding for invoices, bills and technical submissions
- Forecasting and anomaly detection on operational data
- Assistive search and decision support over internal knowledge
Typical problems
- Hours spent transcribing documents into systems
- Patterns in procurement or generation data nobody has time to look for
- Knowledge locked in files that cannot be searched
Our approach
Start with the decision, not the model. Baseline the current process, measure against it, and ship only what beats it in use.
Enterprise Systems
Multi-role platforms covering budget, procurement, inventory and reporting.
Who it is forOrganizations running several sites, entities or departments on one process.
Discuss thisWhat we build
- ERP-style modules tailored to an industry
- Approval hierarchies and delegation rules
- Consolidated reporting across sites and entities
Typical problems
- Procurement controls that exist on paper but not in the system
- No consolidated view across projects or subsidiaries
- Month-end reconciliation done by hand
Our approach
A shared data model first, then modules delivered in the order that removes the most manual work.
Hydropower Digital Solutions
Software engineered for hydropower construction and plant operations.
Who it is forDevelopers, operators and EPC teams working on hydropower projects.
Discuss thisWhat we build
- Budget, BOQ and variation tracking
- Procurement, supplier management and approval workflow
- Store, inventory and consumption against activities
- O&M, shift, energy and generation records
Typical problems
- BOQ, budget and purchase orders maintained separately
- Store consumption not attributable to project activity
- Generation and maintenance logs kept locally at plant
Our approach
Rhino Hydro Flow provides the base platform; project-specific requirements are configured or built on top of it.
Product Engineering
Building and running software products, including our own.
Who it is forFounders and companies building a product rather than a project.
Discuss thisWhat we build
- Architecture, delivery and release engineering for new products
- Multi-tenant foundations, billing-ready structures and observability
- Long-running roadmap execution with a client's own team
Typical problems
- Prototypes that cannot carry real customers
- No release discipline, so every deployment is an event
- Technical decisions made once and never revisited
Our approach
We treat client products the way we treat Rhino Hydro Flow: versioned, monitored, documented and shipped continuously.
Automation & Integration
Connecting the systems an organization already runs.
Who it is forTeams re-entering the same data into more than one system.
Discuss thisWhat we build
- Integrations between accounting, HR and operational systems
- Scheduled data pipelines and reconciliation jobs
- Notification, approval and reporting automation
Typical problems
- Manual exports and imports between tools
- Reports assembled by hand every month
- Errors introduced in transcription
Our approach
Identify the highest-volume manual transfer, automate it with reconciliation and alerting, then move to the next.
Technical Consulting
Architecture review, technology selection and delivery assessment.
Who it is forLeadership deciding what to build, what to buy and in what order.
Discuss thisWhat we build
- System and architecture reviews
- Build-versus-buy and vendor assessment
- Digitisation roadmaps with sequencing and cost implications
Typical problems
- Competing vendor proposals that cannot be compared
- An existing system nobody can evaluate objectively
- A digitisation plan with no sequence
Our approach
A short, evidence-based engagement ending in a written recommendation you can act on with or without us.
Process
How the work moves.
The same five stages regardless of which service the engagement starts from.
- 01
Discover
Interviews, process mapping and constraints. We write down how the work is done today.
- 02
Architect
Data model, roles, integrations and delivery plan — reviewed with the people who will use it.
- 03
Engineer
Iterative builds with working software in front of users early and often.
- 04
Deploy
Rollout, migration, training and on-site implementation until the system carries real work.
- 05
Improve
Measurement, maintenance and successive releases as the operation changes.
