DARB · ENGINEERING · RIYADH

We build products that ship.

Web platforms, mobile apps and custom software for Saudi enterprises. We design, engineer and ship production-grade products — on time, with the modern stack, and with a small senior team that stays from kickoff to launch and beyond.

WHAT WE BUILD

Six product shapes we know how to ship.

Most of our work falls into these six categories. If your build doesn't fit neatly into one, that's usually a signal it's interesting — send a brief.

/ 01

Web platforms & SaaS

Customer-facing platforms, internal tools and full SaaS products built on a modern stack. We design the architecture, build the product, and stay on as the engineering partner once it's live.

Customer portalsMarketplacesMulti-tenant SaaSAdmin dashboards
/ 02

Mobile applications

iOS and Android apps built in React Native or natively where the requirements demand it. App-store ready, with analytics, push, in-app purchases and the operational rigour real apps need.

Consumer appsField-force appsLoyalty appsInternal field apps
/ 03

E-commerce

Custom Shopify, Shopify Plus and headless commerce builds for Saudi brands serious about the storefront as a product. Performance, conversion and operational depth, not template themes.

Custom software

Bespoke applications for operations, finance, scheduling, analytics — anything that takes a recurring business problem off a spreadsheet and onto real software. Built for the people who use it.

API & system integration

Connecting your existing systems — ERP, CRM, payment, identity, logistics. Clean architecture, clear contracts, observable in production.

AI integration

LLM-powered features inside real products — copilots, retrieval-augmented assistants, classification, document understanding. Engineered for accuracy and latency, not just demos.

OUR STACK

The modern stack we build on.

Every product ships on a deliberately small, modern, well-supported set of technologies. No frameworks-of-the-month, no orphaned dependencies — every choice has a reason and a long-term maintenance story.

HOW WE SHIP

A five-phase delivery that respects deadlines.

Every project moves through these five phases in the same order. Phases are time-boxed up front — the schedule and budget you sign are the schedule and budget we hit.

01Week 1–2

Discovery & scoping

Stakeholder interviews, requirements capture, technical constraints, and a clear scoping document everyone signs off on. No surprises at week six because we did the work at week one.

  • Requirements document
  • Technical constraint map
  • Architecture sketch
  • Signed-off scope + timeline
02Week 3–4

Design & architecture

Product design (interface, flow, content), system architecture, data model, and the high-fidelity prototypes your stakeholders can react to before a single line of production code gets written.

  • High-fidelity interface designs
  • Data model
  • System architecture
  • Approved prototypes
03Week 5–10

Build

Sprints of two weeks. End-of-sprint demos. Working software at the end of every sprint, not a closed black box for two months that opens to a surprise.

  • Bi-weekly sprint demos
  • Working software each sprint
  • Continuous deployment pipeline
  • Production-grade test coverage
04Week 11–12

QA & launch

Full quality pass — functional, performance, security, accessibility — then a controlled production launch with monitoring, observability and rollback ready from day one.

  • Full QA + UAT pass
  • Performance + security audit
  • Production launch
  • Monitoring + alerting
05Ongoing

Operate & evolve

We stay. A senior engineer remains on the product for monitoring, incident response, and the evolution sprint cadence that turns a launched product into a category-leading one.

  • Monitoring + incident response
  • Monthly evolution sprints
  • Quarterly architecture reviews
  • On-call rotation

HOW WE ENGAGE

Three ways to work with us.

Pricing software like SEO retainers doesn't work — the shape of the engagement has to match the shape of the build. Three models cover almost every situation; the right one usually shows up in the first call.

QUESTIONS BUYERS ASK

Frequently asked before engaging us.

MVPs ship in 6 to 10 weeks. Full custom builds typically run 3 to 6 months from kickoff to production. Dedicated team engagements are open-ended but operate on a two-week sprint cadence so there's always a tangible delivery every fortnight.
