CanDo Studio
Your process is not standard. Your software should not be either.
We design and build software around the way your company actually works: platforms, internal tools, customer portals, and the connections between them.
What we build
Most projects fall into one of these. The way we work is the same for all of them.
Platforms and web applications
Software a company runs on for years, built around how it actually works.
Business tools, calculators, configurators, and dashboards
Tools for calculating, configuring, and planning work, instead of spreadsheets and disconnected apps.
Customer portals and internal systems
Portals for customers or staff, with the permissions, data, and steps your operation needs.
Integrations and workflow automation
Connect the tools and data you already use, and automate the handoffs between them.
Websites
A website can be part of a project, but it is rarely the main part.
Product shaping
Sometimes the most useful work is deciding what to build. We can take on product management and stay in the steering role, whether we write the code or another team does.
Is this a fit?
A good fit if
- Your workflow does not fit off-the-shelf software anymore.
- You need one team across product, design, and engineering.
- The software will run for years, not one campaign.
Probably not a fit if
- An off-the-shelf product already does the job.
- You need one marketing page, no ongoing product work.
- You are mainly looking for the lowest hourly rate.
How we work
The same people take the project from the first workshop to launch, so nothing gets lost in a handover.
01
Discovery
We map the workflow, the stakeholders, and where the current setup breaks down.
What you have afterwards: A written finding, with priorities.
02
Design & scoping
Wireframes, data model, and a fixed scope before a single line of production code.
What you have afterwards: A quote with a fixed scope and a schedule.
03
Build
Weekly demos on a working build, not a status slide. Scope changes are visible immediately.
What you have afterwards: Access to a test environment, updated every week.
04
Ship & support
Handover, documentation, and a support line for what comes after launch.
What you have afterwards: Source code, credentials, and an operations handbook.
Technology
We choose the stack per project. These are the tools we use most often.
- Frontend
- React
- TypeScript
- Next.js
- React Native
- Backend
- Node.js
- PostgreSQL
- Python
- GraphQL
- Infrastructure
- AWS
- Docker
- CI/CD
- Terraform
Ways to work with us
Which one fits depends on how clearly the problem is already defined.
Discovery sprint
A short, paid engagement to turn a vague problem into a scoped plan: workflow mapping, a technical approach, and a cost estimate.
- Duration:
- 1–2 weeks
- Best for:
- a problem that isn't scoped yet
Fixed-scope project
Most commonA defined result, a fixed price, and a milestone schedule. Most of our projects run this way.
- Duration:
- 6–16 weeks
- Best for:
- one clear deliverable
Team extension
A monthly block of capacity, billed by the day, scaled up or down as the roadmap changes.
- Duration:
- 3+ months, rolling
- Best for:
- an ongoing roadmap
Further development after the first delivery
After launch we can keep working on the software with you: further development, operation, and changes.
- Further development
- Planned work on the running system: new flows, extensions, steering — for the same customer.
- Operation
- Keep the delivered system running: operation, faults, small fixes.
- Change
- Change something after delivery: a form, a rule, an export — on the existing system.
