FluidTech Global

Kenya-based FluidTech Global builds platforms and products through a team of engineers who work across different technologies and across language barriers. The firm's premise is that any work important to a client is important to it, so each project gets a scope of work and is assigned to the team suited to the job. Its services cover UX and UI design, application development, blockchain development, product management and consultation.

Design first, then code

Each project starts with an in-depth design process, in which the firm rapidly iterates with the client on screens and user experience before writing a line of code. The firm says this shortens time to market and keeps build costs in check. Its focus is a high-quality user experience and strong performance in the finished application.

Listening before advising

The firm says it values listening more than talking, and that it spends more time understanding a client's needs than presenting its own answers. Whether a client has a clear vision or only a hazy outline of what it wants, the firm works toward a product the client will be proud of and continues to support after launch.

Blockchain products and legacy systems

Blockchain development is offered to businesses that already have their core systems in place and want to reach further. The firm also helps companies plan and architect development strategies, choosing the right technologies and implementing them inside older, legacy applications. Consultation covers that advice as well as the build.

Engineers to join a client's own team

Clients with an existing product team can add FluidTech engineers to increase the scale and efficiency of their projects. The firm says it looks for engineers with the right mix of soft and technical skills to fit into a team, and it can also take a product from ideation through iteration to creation.

Daily and weekly updates through delivery

Product management is handled by the firm's own team, which sets timelines before work starts and monitors and assesses risk throughout. It reports on deadlines and deliverables daily or weekly. Each application is delivered with full documentation of features, fixes and configurations.
