Golden Owl Consulting Ltd.

Golden Owl Consulting builds bespoke software for businesses that need either a new system from scratch or help speeding up a digital transformation already under way. The company says it has worked this way since 2015, serving clients in SaaS, ecommerce, legal services and real estate, and it describes its reach as more than 25 countries. Consulting comes first in most engagements, so that the technology chosen fits the business problem before any code is written.

Bespoke software built by a team of 200 IT experts

Web, mobile and interface work

Most of the engineering is done in Ruby on Rails, Node.js and React for web applications, and in React Native for mobile apps. The firm also lists UX and UI design, mobile development and automation testing among its services. Its designers, it says, aim for interfaces that are easy to use and attractive, with a harmonious colour scheme and a layout that makes each task quick to finish. It also presents data visualisation as a skill, meaning charts and dashboards that make information easier to read and act on.

An AI service grounded in client data

The company describes an AI practice that includes a retrieval-based chatbot for enterprises. The chatbot answers staff questions from a company's own internal material and grounds each answer in verified sources, so people can find facts in documents the organisation already holds. Alongside it, Golden Owl lists data analytics, Odoo ERP work, microservices architecture and cyber security among its capabilities.

How projects are checked and handed over

Each development phase is checked for bugs and errors as it happens. The firm says developers are told about faults the moment they appear, so problems do not wait until the end of a project. Project coordinators act as the day-to-day point of contact, but they do not stand between clients and engineers, who can talk to each other directly. Clients can follow where the team stands at any point. The company uses version control with branch merging and says its practice follows Agile methods with test-driven development.

It also lists a build, operate and transfer model, in which it sets up a team, runs it for the client for a period, and then hands the arrangement over.

Who it works with and how it describes itself

The company describes its clients as businesses that want a product built for them rather than a template, across SaaS, ecommerce, legal and real estate work. It also runs a marketing arm for small and medium businesses through a sub-brand called Golden Owl Digital, and a recruitment service that finds technical staff for clients. Alongside its registered name, the firm presents itself online as Golden Owl Corporation, and it describes the business as an IT services company in Southeast Asia, with its outsourcing work based in Vietnam.
