Your business already works. Your software can keep up.

The team runs the business. The customers pay for it. Somewhere in the middle, the software is starting to hold things up — an internal tool held together with spreadsheets, an ERP that no longer fits, a product you've outgrown. Nova Aurisia builds the next version, integrated with what's already there, on a timeline you can plan around.

Engagement process diagram

The kind of work we take on

01.

Operations platforms that replace the spreadsheets

Consolidating the workflows your team has been running by hand — across sites, departments, suppliers — into one integrated system. Integrated with the ERP, CRM, accounting platform, or warehouse system you're already paying for. Built so the operators who'll live with it actually want to use it on a Tuesday morning.

02.

AI features inside the products you already run

One feature, six weeks, real evals, real observability. Search, support, classification, generation — picked because it earns its keep, not because there's a TAB called AI. We'll tell you which features shouldn't be built; we'll ship the ones that should.

03.

Modernisation, in bounded phases

Untangle a monolith. Extract a service. Replace a brittle module. Prepare a data layer for AI. Eight to twelve weeks per phase, bounded scope, bounded budget — no eighteen-month rewrites in disguise.

Built for the way your business actually runs

We start with your operators, not your stack

The people who'll live with the software every day are the ones we talk to first — not only the CIO procuring it.

Most of what we build looks the way it does because we sat with the operations team, the warehouse manager, or the support lead and watched how they actually work. Software that gets used is software shaped to the work, not the org chart.

We start with your operators, not your stack

We learn your existing stack before we touch it

Every established business runs on a stack that took years to settle — off-the-shelf tools, internal systems, and the spreadsheet that's somehow load-bearing.

We map it before we propose anything. Integrate cleanly with the parts that work, replace only what's genuinely blocking the business, and never sell you a rebuild that's bigger than the problem.

We learn your existing stack before we touch it

We scope for change, not just for code

New software fails at the point of adoption more often than at the point of delivery.

Every engagement includes a rollout plan — pilot users, feedback loop, training material, observability for who's actually using what. We design for the Tuesday morning after launch, not just the Friday demo before it.

We scope for change, not just for code

One team, one contract, one number to call when it's wrong

No subcontractor chain.

No "delivery partner" handoffs. No three-vendor escalation when something breaks. Two-to-six engineers and designers, one engagement lead, one written-down scope. The size is the point — small enough that nobody can pass the buck.

Questions an operations director usually asks

Integrate, almost always. The team that knows your existing system is your operations team, not a vendor. We build the next layer on top — the workflow tool, the customer-facing surface, the reporting layer — and integrate cleanly with what's already running. We only recommend replacement when the existing system is itself blocking the business, and even then we phase it.

Eight to fourteen weeks for a fixed-scope project (internal platform, AI feature, modernisation phase). Three months minimum for an embedded pod. Retainer work runs at two to four days a month. We turn down projects that don't fit one of these shapes — usually with a recommendation of who does.

The senior engineers and designers you meet during scoping. We don't run a bench of juniors who get assigned after kickoff. The team is deliberately small — typically two to six people — because that's the shape that ships.

We ask early. Before we write a line of code we know your regulatory environment, your incident-response posture, and your uptime expectations. Production-grade infrastructure (observability, logging, rollback, on-call patterns) is the default, not an upsell. For regulated industries we work to your audit trail standards from day one.

Fixed price, fixed end date for project work. Monthly billing with weekly scoping for embedded pods (three-month minimum). Per-day retainer for advisory and fractional CTO work. Scope and change-order process are on the SOW before you sign. No T&M, no scope creep masquerading as agility.

Thirty days of post-ship support is included by default — bug fixes, performance tuning, hand-off documentation. After that, you can transition to a maintenance retainer with us, hand it to your in-house team (with documentation we make sure they can actually use), or hand it to another vendor. We don't lock in.

A written scope, a technical approach with named architecture decisions, a fixed-price proposal, and a calendar with milestones. Usually two weeks. Cost is credited against the next engagement if it goes ahead — so if our scope estimate matches yours, you pay for the discovery only.

Bring us the problem that's slowing your team down.

Not a polished spec. A real problem — the spreadsheet that's load-bearing, the AI feature you've been told you need, the platform you've outgrown. We'll leave you with a one-page memo on how we'd approach it.
