  • A price set before we start

    Scope, amount and schedule are fixed in the contract. A change of scope is discussed and quoted first.

  • Your code, your accounts

    Repository, store accounts, domain names and data stay in your name, or are transferred to you.

  • An exit written on day one

    The handover procedure is documented when the project starts, not negotiated when it ends.

  • An answer within two working days

    An honest first view on feasibility, scope and order of magnitude — even when it is not to build.

Services

What we build.

We don’t just deliver code. We build digital systems: the product, the platform beneath it and the operations that keep both running.

Software

Web applications, platforms and the business software companies run on.

  • Web applications
  • Customer portals
  • Business software
  • Back-offices and internal tools

Mobile

Apps for iOS and Android, from the first prototype to store release — and every OS update after.

  • iOS applications
  • Android applications
  • Cross-platform
  • Store release

SaaS

Multi-tenant products billed by subscription, built to be operated for years.

  • Multi-tenant architecture
  • Subscription billing
  • Accounts, roles and teams
  • Usage limits and quotas

AI & Automation

AI that does real work inside a product, and automations that remove manual steps.

  • AI assistants
  • Document extraction
  • Semantic search
  • Agents

Cloud & Infrastructure

Servers, deployment pipelines, monitoring and security — operated, not just configured.

  • Cloud and VPS infrastructure
  • Containerised deployment
  • CI/CD pipelines
  • Monitoring and alerting

Product

NovaDesk: the operations platform we built for ourselves.

Clients, projects, tasks, quotes, invoices, payments, expenses and email in one self-hosted application. It runs Tensly every day. A white-label edition is planned.

In production since 2026

  • CRM and pipeline

    Companies, contacts and opportunities on a drag-and-drop pipeline.

  • Projects and Kanban

    Boards per project, tasks, checklists, recurrence and a global view.

  • Quotes and invoices

    A line editor, visual templates and PDFs from one renderer.

  • Payments and finance

    Cash collected, overdue invoices, expenses and VAT at a glance.

  • Email

    SMTP and IMAP, synchronised and attached to the right client.

  • Public API

    A documented REST API for n8n, Make and Zapier.

Process

From idea to production.

Most engagements end at launch. Ours continue: the people who build your product stay responsible for it once it is live.

  1. 01

    Discover

    We start from the problem, not the stack. Users, constraints and risks are written down before anything is built.

    • Scope
    • Constraints
    • Fixed quote
  2. 02

    Design

    Interface, architecture and data model are designed together, so the experience and the system agree.

    • Interface
    • Architecture
    • Data model
  3. 03

    Engineer

    Production-grade code from the start: typed end to end and documented as it is written.

    • Application
    • APIs
    • Documentation
  4. 04

    Deploy

    Automated builds and releases to the web, the App Store and Google Play, on environments we set up.

    • CI/CD
    • Environments
    • Store release
  5. LaunchWhere most engagements end.

    05

    Operate

    Monitoring, security patches, encrypted backups and on-call. Restores are rehearsed, not assumed.

    • Monitoring
    • Patches
    • Backups
  6. 06

    Scale

    Performance, capacity and new features as usage grows — planned by the people who built the system.

    • Capacity
    • Performance
    • Roadmap

Technology

Engineered in layers.

Technologies are chosen for the job they do in the system, from the interface down to the machine.

  1. Frontend

    What people see and touch.

    • ReactComponent-driven interfaces
    • Next.jsWeb applications, server-rendered
    • React NativeiOS and Android from one codebase
    • TypeScriptTypes from database to screen

    Talks to the layer below over HTTPS / JSON

  2. Backend

    Business logic and the contracts around it.

    • Node.jsServices, workers, integrations
    • APIsVersioned, documented, authenticated
    • DatabasesPostgreSQL, migrations, indexes
    • AuthenticationSessions, roles, permissions

    Talks to the layer below over SQL / events

  3. Data & AI

    Where the product learns and acts on its own.

    • AIAssistants, extraction, semantic search
    • AutomationWorkflows across your tools
    • Data systemsPipelines, reporting, analytics

    Talks to the layer below over Containers

  4. Infrastructure

    The machines, and everything that keeps them honest.

    • DockerReproducible builds and deploys
    • LinuxServers administered and hardened
    • CloudFrom a single VPS to managed cloud
    • CI/CDBuild, test and release, automated
    • MonitoringHealth checks, alerts, logs

Principles

Why Tensly.

Four principles decide how we work — on our own products as on yours.

  1. Engineering first

    Every technical decision has to serve the product. Architecture is chosen for what it must carry, and the reasons are written down.

  2. Product thinking

    Experience, architecture and business model are decided together, by people who understand all three.

  3. Built to operate

    A product is not finished when it ships. Monitoring, patches, backups and on-call are part of the contract, not an add-on.

  4. Simple by design

    Complexity belongs inside the system. It never belongs in the experience of the people using it.

Infrastructure, operated end to end.

Tensly Cloud is the infrastructure and computing activity of Tensly Group: the servers, pipelines and safeguards our own products run on.

  • Cloud infrastructureNetworks, compute and storage
  • Server computingDedicated and virtual machines
  • HostingApplications, sites and APIs
  • DeploymentPipelines and release automation
  • BackupEncrypted copies, tested restores
  • MonitoringHealth, alerts and logs
  • SecurityHardening, patching, access control
  • Managed infrastructureRun for you, end to end

Availability differs from one service to the next. We confirm what is in production for your case before anything is signed.

Six architecture decisions behind NovaDesk

The operations platform we built for ourselves runs on one process, one database and one file volume. Here is why, decision by decision.
