What We Build

Six types of software we build regularly

Most software projects fall into one of these categories — though we've built combinations and things that don't fit neatly into any box.

Web Applications

Full-stack web apps with user authentication, dashboards, data management and real-time features — accessible from any browser, on any device.

e.g. Customer portals, booking platforms, management dashboards

Internal Tools & Automation

Software that replaces manual processes — automated workflows, internal dashboards, reporting tools and operations systems your team uses daily.

e.g. Inventory systems, HR tools, automated reporting pipelines

SaaS Platforms

Multi-tenant software-as-a-service products — subscription billing, user management, feature gating and the full infrastructure needed to sell software online.

e.g. B2B tools, subscription platforms, marketplace software

Mobile Applications

Cross-platform iOS and Android apps built with Flutter — native performance, offline capability, push notifications and full backend integration.

e.g. Consumer apps, field agent tools, delivery tracking apps

API Development & Integration

REST and GraphQL APIs that connect your systems — third-party integrations (Paystack, Flutterwave, WhatsApp Business, CRMs), webhooks and data pipelines.

e.g. Payment integrations, CRM sync, WhatsApp automation

Enterprise & Legacy Upgrade

Replacing ageing systems, migrating spreadsheet-based operations to proper software, or extending existing platforms with new capabilities and modern interfaces.

e.g. ERP modules, system migration, legacy modernisation
Our approach

We don't just write code — we solve business problems with software.

Most software projects fail not because of bad coding but because of bad requirements, scope creep and teams that disappear after delivery. We start every engagement by deeply understanding what the software needs to do and why — then we build it in milestones, so you can see progress and adjust before everything is built.

  • Discovery before development
  • Milestone-based delivery
  • Nigerian payment gateway integration
  • Cloud deployment & DevOps
  • Post-launch maintenance & support
  • Full source code ownership

Software Development

Outcome

Software that works, that your team actually uses, and that you own completely — with documentation and support to keep it running.

Services

Software development services

From discovery and architecture to development, deployment and ongoing maintenance.

Discovery & Technical Architecture

Requirements gathering, system design, database schema, API contracts and technology selection — so the project is properly scoped before a line of code is written.

Frontend (React, Next.js) and backend (Node.js, Laravel, Python/Django) development — complete web applications with databases, authentication, APIs and admin panels.

See packages

Mobile App Development

Process

How a software project works at DigitalX

1

Discovery & Scoping

We gather requirements, map user flows, design the database schema and produce a technical specification — so scope is agreed before any code is written.

2

Design & Architecture

UI design (or wireframes) approved before development begins. Technical architecture, API contracts and database design finalised and signed off.

3

Build & Test

Development in milestone sprints — you get access to a staging environment throughout, so you can test and give feedback as each feature is completed.

4

Launch & Support

Deployed to production, source code handed over, team trained. We provide post-launch support for the agreed period — and maintenance retainers are available.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about custom software development, timelines, IP ownership and how we work.

You do — completely. On final payment, full intellectual property and source code ownership transfers to you. You receive the full codebase, database, environment variables and documentation. We don't retain any licensing rights, and you're free to modify, extend or hand the project to another developer without restriction.

Starter (MVP / simple tool): 6–10 weeks. Growth (full-featured web app): 10–18 weeks. Enterprise (complex platform or SaaS): 4–9 months. Timelines depend on scope clarity, feedback turnaround and third-party dependency response times. We provide a detailed timeline with milestones before the project starts.

We handle scope changes with a formal change request process — you submit the change, we assess the impact on timeline and cost, and both parties agree before the change is implemented. This prevents the "can we just add..." problem that causes most software projects to run over time and budget. The technical specification document agreed at the start is the baseline for all scope discussions.

Yes — we integrate Paystack and Flutterwave as standard on all projects requiring payments. We handle the full integration: payment initialisation, webhook processing, transaction verification, refund workflows and reconciliation. We also integrate with Remita, Interswitch and bank transfer APIs where needed.

Yes — we frequently rescue or take over existing projects. We start with a code audit to assess quality, security issues and technical debt, then provide a report on what we find and what it'll take to complete or stabilise the project. We're transparent about what we find, even if the news isn't good. Contact us with access to the repository and we'll assess it.

Yes — the Starter package is deliberately scoped as an MVP: the smallest version of the product that's genuinely useful. Once you've validated it with real users, you can commission a Growth engagement to add more features, integrations and scale. This reduces risk — you're not paying ₦3M for something you haven't validated yet. We architect the Starter phase with scalability in mind so the codebase doesn't need to be rewritten when you scale up.
