Operating software for industrial businesses

We build the system your business actually runs on.

Optimate designs, ships and operates custom operating software for industrial businesses — production, inventory, costing, payroll, pricing and statutory reporting. Not a template. Not a chatbot. The system your company works out of every day.

Method

Written, phased, reviewed and operated.

Spec first

A written PRD with numbered acceptance criteria. When there is a disagreement later, the spec wins, not whoever is loudest.

Phased build

Each phase is a self-contained brief with its own definition of done. One writer per branch, so nothing collides.

Independent review

Every behaviour-changing phase is reviewed by someone who did not write it, adversarially, before it goes near production.

Verified deploy

The deploy refuses a dirty tree, so production always equals a specific commit. Migrations are additive and rehearsed against a copy of live data first.

We run it

Hourly backups, a restore path we have actually tested, and one person to call when something looks wrong.

04

Handing over your payroll is a trust decision.

The operational controls behind the interface.

  • The database is sacredExcluded from every deploy, so a release cannot overwrite it. Backups live outside the application directory.
  • Hourly backups, 7-day retentionAnd a restore script that has been run, not just written.
  • Production equals a commitEvery deploy prints the SHA it shipped; roll back with a revert.
  • Additive migrations onlyRehearsed against a copy of live data before touching yours.
  • Balance-safety proofsOn risky deploys we capture every stock balance before and compare after. On TIPL’s largest deploy: byte-identical.
  • Audited, not assumedIndependent security reviews of permissions and data scoping, findings fixed and verified in production.

Engagements

Start with a conversation. Build as small or as large as the problem actually is.

Step one

Consultation

Free

We map how the business actually runs today — the registers, the spreadsheets, the hand-offs that break — and work out where software would genuinely pay for itself. You leave with a written scope and an estimate, whether or not you hire us.

Single tool

One workflow

From ₹15,000

One register, one workflow, one screen that replaces a spreadsheet people are already fighting with. Small, sharp, and in use within days.

Platform

Whole-company system

Quoted after scoping

Multi-module, multi-role, multi-branch — the system the whole company works out of. Priced on how many modules, how many roles, and how much of your existing process has to be modelled.

Message us

Pricing note. A platform is quoted after the consultation, never off a list — a single register and a whole-company system are not the same job. Hosting, TLS, hourly backups, monitoring and ongoing changes are quoted alongside the build. Infrastructure and third-party licences are billed at actuals.
