IIH Global

IIH Global presents itself as a design and development agency that manages its projects from London and uses an overseas team for delivery. Its output runs from custom sites to browser-based software and native phone applications, and it works this way to keep costs manageable without handing projects to outsourcers. Each team member is described as having at least five years of experience, a point the firm makes to set its model apart from low-cost outsourcing.

Web builds from design to launch

The web work covers custom sites and web applications built in a range of frameworks, including Angular, NodeJS, PHP with Laravel and CakePHP, Zend, Python and ReactJS. The firm describes a process that starts with UI and UX design, runs through agile development and rigorous quality testing, and ends at go-live, with a team of designers, developers and project managers on each engagement.

Mobile apps by platform and by sector

Mobile work is listed by platform and by sector. Native iOS and Android apps sit beside Ionic apps, and the firm names specialist categories such as iBeacon, wearable, IoT, B2B, and augmented and virtual reality apps. Sector examples on the site include utility, sports, real estate, health and fitness, eLearning, dating, children's, travel and business apps.

Content management systems and online shops

For sites that need an editor, the firm builds on WordPress, Magento, Shopify and WooCommerce, and it adds creative branding where a business is starting from scratch. Its plugin and extension work includes WordPress plugins, Magento extensions and Vtiger extensions.

CRM systems that connect to the rest of the business

On the customer relationship side, the firm works on Zoho CRM, Salesforce, Vtiger and ORO CRM. It also builds custom MVC CRM systems where an off-the-shelf product does not fit. The CRM work is presented separately from web and app development because a CRM usually has to connect to a client's other operations.

Industries and example projects

Clients have come from restaurant and food businesses, logistics firms, health and fitness, recruitment, property, ride-booking apps, on-demand service firms, e-learning and event ticketing. The site gives a sense of the projects too. One was a web app for a social networking platform, where the team built and designed the features the client needed. Another was a website and web app for an online game swap shop, intended to make the client's processes easier for its users. A third was a new template for a health company's WordPress site, later extended with Portuguese and English translation.

The team model and the planted tree

The firm says its team of more than 50 experts works across global offices, that a client can reach it by phone within an hour, and that quick onboarding allows rapid app development. It also says it plants a tree each time it wins a project, which it presents as part of its environmental commitment. The company dates its founding to 2013 and says it has since helped several hundred clients across an international base.
