Bespoke software products, built and delivered.

Most software agencies learn your business on your budget. We don't, because we have already built and delivered products in this space — ElevateIQ and rePrecinct are ours, in market, in daily use by real estate professionals.

That matters more than it sounds. A team that has taken a product from blank page through to delivery has made every expensive mistake already: the data model that couldn't scale, the integration that broke on real records, the interface nobody adopted. You get the benefit of that without paying for it again.

Why corporate builds fail

Corporates spend enormous sums trying to deliver their own software, and most of it fails. Not for lack of budget, talent or intent — but because delivering software is a craft learned by doing it repeatedly, and a business whose core competency is something else has never had the chance to learn it.

The pattern is consistent. A team is assembled internally, often first-time product people with no lived experience of shipping. Scope grows because nobody has felt the cost of scope before. The data model is designed for the demo rather than year three. Decisions that should take a day take a month because there is no one in the room who has made that call before. Eighteen months later there is a half-built system, an exhausted team and a business case nobody wants to reopen.

The honest answer is that most organisations should focus on what they do exceptionally well and outsource the build to a software company that has executed end to end — repeatedly, in market, with real users. That is not a failure of ambition; it is the same logic that stops you building your own accounting platform.

Lived execution experience cannot be hired in one role or bought in a strategy deck. It sits in a team that has already shipped, already broken things in production and already learned what not to do.

That is what we bring. Alkimi has taken products from blank page to daily use, so your build inherits judgement rather than rediscovering it — while your people stay focused on the business they actually run.

What a bespoke build covers

End to end means end to end. We handle the data model, the backend, the integrations, the interface, the infrastructure and — where it earns its place — the AI layer above it. There is no handoff to a second vendor halfway through.

• Discovery and data modelling — the part most builds get wrong, and the part that determines whether the product survives year two
• Product and interface design — designed around how the work is actually done, not how it looks in a demo
• Engineering — built by senior engineers, supported by our internal agent fleet for review, QA and test coverage
• Integrations — CRMs, listing feeds, finance systems, portals, data providers, internal databases
• Delivery and handover — into your repository, your accounts, your infrastructure, documented

How a build runs

We scope, we fix the price, we ship in stages. Every build starts with a short paid discovery so both sides are working from the same understanding before anyone commits to a number. From there, work lands in reviewable increments rather than disappearing for six months.

The code, the data and the infrastructure are yours throughout. If you stop working with us you keep everything and can hand it to another team without renegotiating a thing.

Who this is for

Corporates with a process that no vendor sells software for. Property firms whose internal tool has become business-critical and can no longer be maintained by the person who built it. Proptech founders who need an engineering team that already understands leases, comps, covenants and campaign cycles without a six-month ramp.

We also take over existing codebases. Not every engagement is a fresh start, and a stalled build is often cheaper to rescue than to replace — though we'll tell you honestly which one it is.
