Engineering services, from first build to long-term run

What we do

Ten services in five lines

Each one starts from a situation we see every week. Pick the closest, or tell us yours.

Build

Custom Software Development

Best for

Companies running key work on spreadsheets, paper or a tool they've outgrown.

You get

One system built around how you work, released in stages, with support after launch.

SaaS Platform Development

Best for

Product teams shipping the first or second version of a multi-tenant product.

You get

Secure sign-in, billing and admin from the start, so version two doesn't need a rewrite.

AI App Development

Best for

Operations leaders with one costly manual workflow, or an AI pilot that never reached production.

You get

An AI tool in production, with evals, logging and clear rules for your data.

AI-Native Development

Best for

Product and engineering leaders adding AI to a product they already run.

You get

AI features shipped continuously, with evals, monitoring and rules for your data.

Rescue & run

Codebase Recovery & Stabilisation

Best for

Inherited code, failed first versions and releases that break something else.

You get

A written recovery plan, then stable code, refactored step by step without a rewrite.

DevOps & Managed Support

Best for

Teams firefighting incidents instead of building the roadmap.

You get

Pipelines, monitoring and patching, with support hours and response times agreed in writing.

Data

Data Foundations & Analytics

Best for

Companies where every report shows a different number.

You get

One source of truth: pipelines, a data model and dashboards your teams can trust.

Quality & security

QA & Test Automation

Best for

Releases without a safety net, and regulated software that needs evidence of testing.

You get

Manual and automated tests in your pipeline, and a clear report for every release.

Application Security Testing

Best for

Suppliers to companies under NIS2 or DORA, and products under the Cyber Resilience Act.

You get

Penetration tests of web apps, mobile apps and APIs, with every finding ranked and a fix for each.

Teams

Dedicated Development Teams

Best for

Companies that need steady engineering capacity without months of hiring.

You get

A team 1–2 hours from CET. Your product owner sets the priorities; our team lead runs the team.

Platforms

Start from a proven platform

Some systems don't need to start from zero. We can start from a platform that already runs in production, then tailor it to your processes and your data. You reach a first release sooner, and the software still fits how you work.

Healthcare

Hospital Management Platform

Reception and triage, outpatient and inpatient care, laboratory, pharmacy, billing and reporting. Built for a psychiatric hospital and a general hospital.

Financial services

Shareholder Management Platform

Shareholder records, dividends, voting and audit trails, with access by role. Built for two banks.

Financial services

Savings & Loan Platform

Savings, loans, member accounts and reporting, with a mobile app for members.

Logistics & mobility

Fleet Management Platform

Vehicles, live tracking, maintenance, drivers and fuel, connected to ERP and accounting. Built for a farmers' cooperative union.

Public sector & geospatial

Digital Addressing Platform

Address search, routing, a mobile app and place contributions. Built for a national geospatial institute.

Every platform is tailored in a project. The platform core is licensed to you; what we build on top for you is yours to use, change and license.

How we work

Every service runs the same way

Three steps, whether we build, rescue, test or run your software.

01

Plan

Risks, scope, a data plan and a list of what we won't do, before any code.

02

Thin slice

Working software early, then a demo every week and access to the repository.

03

Launch and handover

Documentation, a working pipeline and a handover your team can run, or we keep running it.

FAQ

Questions about our services

Ten services in four groups: build (AI app development, AI-native development, SaaS platforms, custom software), improve (codebase recovery, DevOps and managed support, data foundations and analytics), assure (QA and test automation, application security) and scale (dedicated teams).

Tell us what you need on the contact form, or choose "Not sure yet". An engineering lead replies within one working day and suggests where to start, often with a short review before any build.

Yes. Many projects combine them, for example a build with QA and security testing, or a recovery followed by managed support. One team lead plans the work across all of them.

In Addis Ababa, 1–2 hours ahead of CET. FlightLabs is based in Berlin, and every project team works in English and German.

Projects run on a fixed scope or on time and materials; dedicated teams and managed support on a monthly rate. The written proposal, within 3 working days of our call, sets out the cost model, the team and the timeline.

You start from software that already runs in production, so the first release comes sooner. We tailor it to your processes and data. The platform core is licensed to you, and what we build on top for you is yours to use, change and license once it is paid for.

We work in your EU systems under a data processing agreement, every engineer can sign an NDA if you want one, and if something goes wrong you hear from us within 24 hours. The security page sets out the details.
