Lean software development

True development excellence isn’t just about writing code, it's about building the right thing, the right way.

For over a decade, we have successfully executed complex and ambitious development projects for clients ranging from innovative startups to large-scale NGO’s, charities and corporations. Our all-senior team combines clean coding standards with collaborative communication to guide your vision from concept to launch, ensuring we never code ourselves into a corner.

Harnessing the power of open source

As experts in open source technologies like Drupal and React, we leverage stable, secure, and globally-supported solutions. Our contributions to the open source community allow us to build on a foundation of reusable code, which means a more affordable and quicker time-to-market for you, without compromising on quality. From complex digital experience platforms to content management systems, our team delivers impactful and user-friendly products.

An arrow points to a box for 'Code' and 'Commit Changes'. Middle section: An arrow from the commit stage leads to a large container labeled 'Fully Automated DevOps'. Inside, a horizontal process shows six steps: Build Multidev Environment Regression Tests Quality Assurance Production Deployment Post Deployment Tests Below these steps, a banner indicates that the first four are part of 'Continuous Integration (CI)' and the last two are part of 'Continuous Deployment (CD)'. Bottom section: A final banner at the bottom states, "24HR SECURITY: We check all packages for security vulnerabilities, every day."

Lean & Agile delivery for maximum impact

Our process is built on a foundation of lean and agile principles. By breaking projects into short, manageable sprints, we deliver value quickly and iteratively. This rapid cycle of building, testing, and learning eliminates waste, reduces risk, and ensures the final product is aligned with user needs and your business goals. Our hypothesis-driven approach uses real data to validate ideas, guaranteeing we solve the right problems efficiently.

A diagram outlining a SystemSeed development project structure, divided into a "Discovery" phase and a "Sprint" phase. The Discovery panel on the left includes: The title "Discovery." An icon of a mountain with a flag, labeled "Establish Business Goals." A list of items representing a "Project Backlog of User Stories." The Sprint panel on the right, titled "Sprint 2 Weeks," includes: A preliminary step to "Establish Sprint Goal" and "Sprint Backlog." A cyclical workflow that proceeds from "Plan" to "Design," then into a circular arrow representing "Build," "Test QA," and "Deploy." The cycle concludes with a "Measure & Learn" step, with an arrow indicating that learnings are applied to the next sprint.
