Inventive Works

Inventive Works has been a software product team since 2016, serving companies that want custom applications, platforms and internal tools. Alongside new builds, it steps into projects that have lost momentum, whether a deadline has slipped or the code has become difficult to change.

Where its clients come from

Client examples include Texas A&M, where the studio built a platform for students, and Assurant, an insurer for which it built a mobile app. The pages also describe work with start-ups and marketing firms. Reviews on Clutch are listed as part of the studio's record, with its earlier engagements in higher education and insurance presented as case studies.

Engineering services and cloud delivery

The services fall into five areas. Product development moves early concepts toward working platforms. Software engineering covers tailored apps, SaaS products and in-house business tools. Cloud development provides infrastructure designed to cope with the load of a launch day. Data engineering covers pipelines, ETL and reporting, and AI and automation includes assistants for staff and automated processes, using tools the team has already tried. Design, user experience and branding work sits beside the engineering. The studio says it puts senior engineers on a project from day one, communicates clearly and comes back with a point of view rather than a deck full of options.

Giving back through a dedicated fund

The studio directs a share of its proceeds to the Inventive Cares Fund, which backs causes such as nonprofit work, military veterans, women in technology and first responders. It also describes support for women entrepreneurs, who are helped to build products and grow their companies through the studio's services. Each client engagement, according to the studio, adds to that giving.
