/01
The problem

The challenge.

The client ran a retail operation with regional teams responsible for their own catalogues and orders.

Third-party APIs for logistics, payments and content had to be integrated consistently.

Engineering needed a single backend that enforced consistent rules but gave teams local autonomy.

/02
The plan

Our approach.

Built the API layer in Django REST Framework with team-scoped permissions.

Integrated third-party logistics and payment APIs behind a consistent internal interface.

Used Django templates for internal tooling and React for customer-facing surfaces.

Added audit logs so regional decisions are visible to central operations.

/03
The result

The outcome.

Regional teams move fast without breaking shared rules.

Central operations have visibility without taking control of every decision.

Integrations with third parties are swapped without refactoring regional apps.

Engineering stack

What it was built with.

The exact tools in the delivered system. We pick the stack to fit the problem and the team — not the trend cycle.

What partners
tell us.

Most clients renew for a second engagement. The ones who don't usually hire someone from our team to run the project in-house.

We are a mental health charity and not tech minded. We needed to improve our patient registration system but wanted a company that we can relate to. Hassan took the time to meet with me and patiently went through our process to find a personalised solution for us. Hassan's team did a great job streamlining our process and connected our registration system to our patient management software. Whenever we have a glitch, they resolve this quickly. Cloudini provides a personal and efficient service and we have adopted them to be our IT provider.

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Cloudini as a premier bespoke software development agency. Our journey with them has been nothing short of exemplary, far exceeding our initial expectations. While many agencies can develop based on strict specifications, Cloudini demonstrated an incredible commitment to our project that was truly unparalleled.

Dragonfly has been working with the team at Cloudini for several years now on building out our web-based platform and APIs. One of their strengths is quickly building out a multi-disciplinary team to work on the development and delivery of features with different technical requirements. Their support has allowed us to accelerate our development work without building an internal team. They have also worked seamlessly with other third parties both during the acquisition of Dragonfly and development of our mobile app. Cloudini has been instrumental in bringing our ideas to life and providing guidance to help us make the best technical decisions. I would recommend getting in touch with them if you're looking for support.
