Global Software & Product StudioNot your average software studio.
We build software that runs real businesses, starting with our own.
Running today at Steponx, Taha Bakery, and in our own business.
Who we are
A lean crew of builders who ship like a much larger team, because we carry no bloat. We don't theorise about software. We run on it. The same discipline we use to keep our own books straight goes into every product we build for a client.

Selected workSoftware that opens the shop in the morning.
Not prototypes. Tills that take money, stock that has to reconcile, books that have to balance at the end of the day.
A commerce ERP and point-of-sale built on double-entry accounting. The ledger is not bolted on afterwards. It is the foundation every other feature is written against.
We run our own business on it, and so do the clients below. That is the whole argument: the software we sell is the software we depend on.
- Double-entry ledger at the core
- Point-of-sale + inventory
- Native Arabic receipts
- Multi-currency, end to end
otura.app→
A shoe retailer running Otura at the till and for stock, with a storefront and online store that read from the same catalogue the shop floor sells from.
One source of truth. Stock sold at the counter and stock sold online decrement the same inventory.
- Otura POS + inventory
- Storefront website
- Online store synced to Otura
- Brand and UI design
steponx.com→
A neighbourhood bakery running Otura at the counter, with a customer-facing digital menu driven by the same product catalogue the till uses.
Change a price once and it changes on the menu and at the till together. Receipts and menu both render natively in Arabic.
- Otura POS + inventory
- Digital menu from the live catalogue
- Arabic receipts and menu
Flagship productOtura
The books always balance.
A commerce ERP and point-of-sale where accounting isn't an afterthought. It's the foundation. We run our own business on it, and so do our clients. That's the whole argument.
- Double-entry accounting at the coreEvery sale, return and stock movement posts a balanced journal entry. Not a report generated later. The ledger is the source of truth.
- Inventory that reconciles itselfCounter sales and online orders decrement the same stock and post to the same accounts.
- Native Arabic receiptsRTL end to end, printed and on screen. Designed in Arabic, not translated into it.
- Multi-currency, end to endPrices, payments and the ledger agree, including on the exchange difference.

What we do
Three ways we build.
- 01
Custom Software Development
Products and platforms built to last. Architected for the day they get big, not just the day they ship.
- Web apps and APIs
- Data models that survive growth
- Migrations from spreadsheets and legacy tills
- 02
Blockchain / Web3 Development
Smart contracts, dApps and tokenisation. Audited thinking, not hype, and on-chain only where it earns its place.
- Smart contract design and review
- Wallet and payment flows
- Off-chain systems that keep the books straight
- 03
Product / UI-UX Design
Interfaces people trust and enjoy, drawn by the same people who build them, so nothing gets designed that cannot ship.
- Product and interaction design
- Design systems
- Arabic-first and RTL layouts
Our process
Four steps, no theatre.
01Understand & Strategise
We dig into the business before the build. How money actually moves through it, where the manual work hides, what breaks at month-end.
02Design & Architect
Interfaces and data models designed together. The schema and the screen get drawn in the same week, by the same people.
03Build & Ship
Tight loops, real releases. Working software in front of real users early, then sharpened. Not a six-month reveal.
04Operate & Evolve
We run software in production every day, in real shops, with real tills. Yours gets the same care ours does.
