How we work

Software that keeps up with your plans

A partner who knows your product, in a way of working that fits your phase, with costs you can plan for.

Working together

Pay for impact, not for idle time

Need a team that takes the lead, extra hands, guaranteed uptime or hosting? Pick one, or combine them.

Getting started

A quick start, and a partner for the long run

  1. Get to know each other

    Your goals, your users and your systems. In the first conversation, we mostly listen and ask questions.

  2. Pitch and prototype

    Concrete ideas and, where it helps, a quick prototype, so you can decide based on something real.

  3. We start building

    Your own El Niño team builds in short cycles. You see progress after every cycle, and you can reach everyone on the team directly.

  4. Run and improve

    Once it's live, we host, monitor and secure it, and keep suggesting what to improve next.

AI

The speed of AI, without the risks

We use AI every day to work faster, but people stay in charge: every change is reviewed, and a person does the final check before anything goes live.

  • Delivery

    Faster results, without the risk

    AI helps us write and test code. A developer who knows your product reviews every change.

  • Prototypes

    See your idea working, in days

    A prototype you can click through says more than a slide deck.

  • Products

    AI features for your customers

    Like the AI assistant we built for Victron Energy: tested every week, and checked by people before every release.

Client data is handled within our ISO/IEC 27001 processes.

Still wondering about something?

What kind of companies do you work with?

With companies that have more plans than people to build them, for example in energy, grid operation, retail and food delivery. Whether it's a new product, a growing backlog or a platform that's ready for its next step, we'll tell you honestly what's possible.

Do you use AI?

Yes, as a tool in our own work and in features we build for clients. A developer always reviews the result: every change goes through a merge request and code review, and a person does the final check before it goes live.

How does a dedicated team work?

You get a fixed team that works on your product. You can reach everyone on it directly, so questions, improvements and bug fixes are handled quickly and personally.

How do you charge?

As a fixed monthly fee for agreed outcomes, as flexible capacity when you need extra hands, as a Service Level Agreement with uptime and support guarantees, and for hosting. Unlike with a team of your own, you don't pay for quiet periods. Most customers combine a few of these.

Where are applications and data hosted?

In Europe, on Kubernetes clusters spread over multiple data centres. Monitoring, security and backups are included.

Are you certified?

Yes, we are ISO/IEC 27001 certified. Our information security policy explains what that means for your applications and data.

Where are you based?

We have offices in Enschede (Kuipersdijk 6C) and The Hague (Waldorpstraat 17Q), in the Netherlands.
