Thuba means to begin. We run utility apps that businesses and households subscribe to, and we build custom apps for companies, deployed on Google Cloud, AWS or Azure.
Subscribe to an app we already run, or have us build one around the way your business works.
We build and run focused apps for everyday jobs. You sign up, pay a monthly subscription and use them on the web and on your phone. We handle hosting, updates and support.
When off-the-shelf software doesn't fit, we design, build and deploy an app for your business: web portals, mobile apps, APIs and the systems behind them.
Short steps, working software early, and no surprises at the end.
We learn how your business works today and what the app has to change.
You get a written scope, a plan and a fixed price for the first release.
We build in short cycles and show you working software every two weeks.
We deploy to your cloud, train your team and keep the app healthy.
Already on a cloud provider? We deploy there. Starting fresh? We'll recommend one and set it up properly from day one.
The apps we run ourselves and the systems we've built for other businesses, from the first conversation to the cloud they run on.
Built, hosted and supported by us, sold on monthly plans.
