Booking Q4 2026 projects

Every business has a logic of its own. We build the software that matches it.

A small senior engineering team in Playa del Carmen, working your hours. We spend the first week learning how your operation actually runs — then we build the system that fits it, and hand you the code.

nawal:~$ why-nawal

A nawal is the spirit that shares your essence.

In Mesoamerican tradition, your nawal is the companion you're born with — the counterpart that moves the way you move. We took the name because that's the whole argument for building software instead of buying it: off-the-shelf systems make you move their way; a system built around your operation moves yours.

That's the work. Everything else on this page is detail.

nawal:~$ sound-familiar

Sound familiar?

  • The real numbers live in one person's spreadsheet, and everyone knows whose.
  • Somebody re-types the same data into a second system every morning.
  • You bought software that made you change how you work.
  • You can't answer a simple question about last month without three people looking it up.
  • Every new hire, new location, new client makes the mess bigger — not smaller.

None of these are technology problems yet. They're operations problems that technology made permanent. That's usually where we start.

nawal:~$ benefits

What you get working this way.

Ship in weeks, not quarters

Two-week sprints with a demo every Friday. You see real progress by the second week, not at the end.

You own 100% of the code

We hand over the full repository under a license that's yours. No perpetual licenses, no vendor lock-in.

The people who scoped it are the people who build it

No account managers, no rotating bench. The engineer who understood your operation in week one is the one shipping in week twelve.

Fixed price per phase

You know what it costs and when it ends before you sign. Zero surprises on the invoice.

nawal:~$ case-studies

Recent work.

[ 01 ] DENTAL HEALTHCARE

Oochelkoj

Electronic medical records platform for dental clinics. Patient history, X-rays, signed consents, and automatic cloud backup — fully NOM-024 compliant and audit-ready.

PROBLEM

Records lived in physical folders and loose sheets. Every visit started with paper hunting, with risk of loss, no audit trail of who accessed what, and no way to pass compliance reviews.

OUTCOME

100%

digital records · NOM-024 compliant

[ 02 ] TRAVEL AND TOURS

Culinary Backstreets

Custom web app for travel and tour management with multiple integrations and a editorial system to manage specific content related to the industry.

PROBLEM

Culinary Backstreets needed a modernized web app to streamline project coordination and improve compliance. Taking data from a Wordpress CMS we perform a system migration to the custom app integrated with their existing workflow.

OUTCOME

−40%

editors time · bookings improvement · compliance

[ 03 ] PHARMACEUTICAL

Lexgo

Custom web app for logistics management, stock visibility and delivery tracking external certified delivery contractors for pharmacies across Mexico.

PROBLEM

Each pharmacy ran its own stock and delivery management. Without central visibility, critical medications arrived late at one branch while expiring in another — silently.

OUTCOME

24/7

real-time stock · batch traceability

nawal:~$ services

What we solve.

Four fronts where we take friction out of your operation — not the only ones, but where we deliver best.

Centralize and automate your operation

ERPs, CRMs, internal dashboards, client portals. One source of truth instead of ten Excel files.

Elixir · React · Python · PostgreSQL

Put your business in your customers' pocket

iOS and Android apps — native when performance matters, cross-platform when speed to market matters.

React Native · Flutter

Automate tasks and win back hours

Agents that read emails, classify data, and generate reports. Less manual work, fewer errors, more decisions.

Claude · GPT · n8n

Scale without tech holding you back

Scalable infrastructure, CI/CD, and monitoring. We leave you pipelines your team can run on their own — no outages, no bottlenecks.

GCP · AWS · Docker · Terraform

nawal:~$ process

How we work.

Four phases. The first one is free — not as a discount, but because we won't quote a system we don't understand yet.

01

Discovery

We sit with the people who do the work, not just the person who called us. We map how the operation actually runs — including the workarounds nobody documented. You keep the map either way.

1 week · free

02

Proposal

Scope, sequence, timeline, closed price — written so you could hand it to someone else and they'd understand it. You sign it or you don't.

1 week · fixed

03

Build

Two-week sprints. A working demo every Friday, run by the engineer who built it. Slack and repo access from day one — you can watch commits land.

8-24 weeks

04

Handover

We train your team on the system they now own. Monthly support if you want it, never as a condition. The code works without us.

Working with Nawal Tech has been a fantastic experience. Their team is talented, reliable, and genuinely invested in our success. They communicate clearly, understand our goals, and consistently deliver high-quality work. We couldn't be happier with the partnership and would wholeheartedly recommend Nawal Tech to anyone looking for an exceptional development team.

nawal:~$ positioning

  • Not an offshore shop that builds whatever the spec says.
  • Not a consultancy that sells you a twelve-month discovery.
  • Not a licensed platform you'll be renting in five years.

A small senior team that learns your operation, builds the system that fits it, and hands you the keys.

If what you need is twenty developers by Monday, we're the wrong call — and we'll say so on the first one.

nawal:~$ pricing

How pricing works.

No hourly billing. No change-order games. Every phase has a scope, a timeline, and a closed price you see before you sign.

Discovery is free

One week. You get the operational map and a plan, whether or not you hire us.

Fixed price per phase

You know what it costs and when it ends before it starts. If scope changes, we re-quote in the open — we don't discover it on the invoice.

You own the code

Full repository, license 100% yours, at the close of each phase. No perpetual licenses, no lock-in. If you want to move it to another team, you can — and we'll help.

Have a number in mind? Say it on the call. We'll tell you straight whether it fits.

nawal:~$ questions

What everyone asks first.

The questions we hear in every first call. If yours isn't here, write us — we reply in under 24 hours.

How much does a project cost?

Every project has fixed pricing per phase. Discovery is free (1 week). The proposal includes scope, timeline, and closed-out price — we talk concrete numbers before you sign anything.

How long does delivery take?

Between 8 and 24 weeks for the build, depending on scope. We work in 2-week sprints with a demo every Friday — no surprises, no ghost deliveries.

Do we own the code at the end?

Yes. At the close of each phase we hand over the full repository under a license that's 100% yours. No perpetual licenses, no vendor lock-in. If you ever want to move it to another team, you can.

Do you sign an NDA before we get into details?

Yes. We have a standard NDA ready to sign, or we sign yours. No fine print, no fighting over weird clauses.

Why should we build instead of buying something off the shelf?

Most of the time you shouldn't. If a standard tool covers 80% of what you do, buy it — we'll say so on the free call, and we won't invoice you for the advice. Custom is worth it when the way you work is the advantage, when you're stitching four tools together with manual re-entry, or when the software you bought is now dictating your process. That's the conversation worth having.

How does nearshore work with a US team?

We're in Playa del Carmen, on US Central time — the full working day overlaps with yours. Daily Slack, a Friday demo on video, an open repo from day one, all in English. It works like an in-house team that happens to sit somewhere warmer. Visits welcome, and clients do come.

What happens after launch?

We train your team so they can operate and evolve the code themselves. If you'd rather not maintain it in-house, we offer optional monthly support — never mandatory.

Do you work across the US and Mexico, and how does billing work?

Yes. We build for growing companies across the US and Mexico. You get a team in your timezone, communication in English (Spanish available), and standard US-friendly invoicing. We've delivered for companies across the US, Mexico, and Central America.
