Codein Software

Startups, small businesses and larger companies can hand a software project to Codein, a custom development firm that builds web and mobile applications to each client's requirements. Before any build begins, the firm offers pre-project consulting and evaluation, so a client can test an idea before committing to development.

Consulting before a project starts

A client can submit an idea with its full requirements and functions, and Codein assesses it. The company says this saves the operational time and lost profit that come from getting second opinions, comparing market options and drawing up a shortlist of firms. The client's team can then decide on the work with a clearer idea of its scope and cost.

Code audits and outsourced specialists

Code audits review software written by another team, covering its quality, its functionality and its scalability. Outsourced developers join a client's own team and bring specialist skills to it. The company describes its team as experienced and varied in skills and expertise.

Three ways to contract the work

A fixed scope model fixes the functions the client expects for an agreed total. An hourly model gives a clear rate for each developer and specialist on the project. A classical approach defines business requirements and technologies in detail during preparation, so development can start as soon as possible and the team is formed around the client's needs.

Past work in banking, healthcare data and trading

Past projects the company names include an intranet web portal for a bank and a register of licensed medical products. Over the last ten years the company says it has delivered projects in financial services and exchange trading, and has worked in gaming and retail as well, often on complex and customized solutions.

A longer-term aim

The company describes its longer-term aim as building products that help clients increase profits and reduce operating costs. Until then it offers its current solutions, and it says it expects to be involved at every stage from analysis through to support.
