  1. 01

    Custom software, from idea to production

    Turn an idea, prototype, or half-built MVP into secure software customers can rely on. We handle scope, product design, engineering, integrations, testing, and launch.

  2. 02

    AI agents and workflow automation

    Remove repetitive data entry, document review, routing, and reporting. We connect the systems, add supervised AI where it helps, and keep human approval where judgment matters.

  3. 03

    Legacy software modernization

    Stabilize fragile software, untangle integrations, and replace risky parts in stages. The business keeps operating while the system becomes easier to change.

  4. 04

    Product growth, SEO, and AI visibility

    Clarify the message, capture search demand, and turn more visits into qualified leads. Product, SEO, AI-search visibility, content, and campaigns follow one growth plan.

    Dedicated teams for blocked roadmaps

    Add senior product, design, engineering, or QA capacity without waiting through a long hiring cycle. The team works in your tools with clear ownership and a handover path.

How we work

From problem to working product, four steps.

Scope agreed before we build. Milestones you see before the next payment.

  1. Week 1

    Understand the problem

    Week one is about clarity. We sit with you, look at how work actually happens today, and decide what is worth building before anyone writes code. Whether you arrive with a prototype, an MVP, or a blank page, we start from the real problem and the people who feel it.

    What we do

    • Discovery call covering goals, users, constraints, and what "done" means for you
    • Walkthrough of anything you already have: prototype, MVP, spreadsheets, or nothing yet
    • Honest product and technical read on what will hold up in production and what will not

    You walk away with

    A shared problem map and a clear recommendation on what to keep, rebuild, or leave out of scope.

  2. Weeks 1-2

    Scope the solution

    Once the problem is clear, we turn it into a plan you can fund. You see the architecture, the milestones, and the fixed price before build starts. No vague estimates that drift after kickoff.

    What we do

    • Solution shape: what we build first, what waits, and how it fits your stack
    • Milestone plan with review points tied to working software, not slide decks
    • Fixed-price proposal locked before any production code starts

    You walk away with

    A signed scope, timeline, and price you can take to your team without guessing.

  3. Weeks 3-12

    Make it real

    This is the build. We ship working software in milestones, and you review each one before the next payment. Apps, AI features, and integrations land in a form your team can use, with production standards from day one.

    What we do

    • Milestone delivery with a working slice you can click through every time
    • Weekly progress calls and direct access to the people building it
    • Security, tests, and handoff docs as we go, not bolted on at the end

    You walk away with

    Production-ready software in your environment, owned by you, ready for real users.

  4. Ongoing

    Improve after launch

    Launch is not the finish line. We stay available for the issues real users find, the next features the product earns, and growth work when you are ready to push acquisition.

    What we do

    • Post-launch support for friction that only shows up with live traffic
    • Feature iterations prioritized by what users and the business need next
    • Optional growth marketing so the product finds the right audience

    You walk away with

    A live product that keeps getting sharper, with a team that already knows the codebase.

Healthcare

Paper workflows, compliance risk, and patient portals that patients don't use.

We build HIPAA-compliant healthcare software: telehealth platforms, remote patient monitoring, and AI intake that takes triage off the front desk. The telehealth platform we built onboarded 50+ clinics in its first 12 weeks.

What we build

  • Remote patient monitoringReal-time vitals, alerts, and care team dashboards. HIPAA compliant.
  • AI intake & triageQualifies symptoms, routes patients, and takes triage off the front desk.
  • Clinical data platformCentralised EHR integration, audit trails, and role-based access control.

The partnership

Senior people, clear decisions, no handoffs.

  • 01

    A direct answer on the first call.

    If the problem is outside our scope, we say so. No pitch or follow-up sequence.

  • 02

    The people you meet stay involved.

    The same senior team remains accountable from scoping through delivery.

  • 03

    Your constraints shape the build.

    Architecture and scope follow your users, operations, budget, and existing systems, not our preferred stack.

Fit check

Every RaftLabs project starts at $9,500.
Here's who that fits.

Everything on the left should be true for you. Even one thing on the right, and we're probably not the fit you need.

A fit
01

You've got a real problem, one that's already costing you time or money.

02

You've set aside at least $9,500 and you're ready to invest it in solving the problem.

03

You want to start within the next six months.

Not a fit
01

You're after a $100 template or a weekend script, not real engineering.

02

You haven't set aside a budget for this yet.

03

You're not planning to start anytime soon.

Straight answers

Common questions

Every RaftLabs project starts at $9,500. An MVP with 1–2 core features typically costs $9,500–$20,000, while full-featured products typically cost $20,000–$40,000. Enterprise platforms and complex AI systems are quoted based on scope. We agree on scope and cost before development starts. No surprises.
Most clients start within a week. If you arrive with a prototype or MVP, we begin with a technical audit, then a production-grade MVP typically ships in about 10 to 14 weeks. Complex platforms can run longer. You see progress at every milestone before the next payment.
We've worked across healthcare, hospitality, fintech, logistics, retail, loyalty programs, and media. Each has different rules and user expectations. We adapt to those rather than applying a generic template.
We build in milestones. If a direction isn't working, we raise it before the next phase starts, not after months of work. You're never locked in past the current milestone. We'd rather lose a project than waste your budget on the wrong thing.
Yes. RaftLabs can assess an existing prototype or MVP, keep what users have validated, replace what will not hold up in production, and handle the positioning, SEO, content, or campaigns needed after launch. You can use the whole team or only the stages your product needs.
Both. RaftLabs is one partner from prototype to production to growth. Alongside custom software and AI, our in-house growth team handles positioning, SEO, AI search visibility, content, and paid campaigns, so your product reaches launch with momentum instead of a blank slate. Most agencies stop at launch. We stay on until you have real customers, not just a live product.
Yes. Most clients are non-technical. We explain tradeoffs in business terms, not engineering jargon, and handle all technical decisions. You focus on outcomes.
Yes. It's one of the most common ways clients arrive. We audit what's there, keep the UX and scope you already validated, and rebuild the backend, auth, data model, and tests it needs to survive real users. A production-grade version typically ships in 10 to 14 weeks.
Yes. We embed alongside an in-house team as a dedicated unit, or hand off a completed build with full code ownership and documentation, no vendor lock-in. Which model fits depends on whether you're short on hands or short on a specific skill set.
