Consulting. Technology.
Execution.
One accountable team advises on the decision, builds the software and AI, deploys it inside your business and keeps it running. You pay for each piece of work after you accept it.
A diagram of how Code Colonies works. The Consulting, Technology and AI divisions and our talent join into one team. A client problem moves through four stages: Advise, led by Consulting; Build, by Technology and AI; Deploy, by AI and talent; and Run, by Technology and talent. Our platforms Synerger, ShopenUp, AksharAI and TrustOS support those stages, and ServeOS for restaurants is in development. The work ends as an accepted outcome, checked against the signed specification, and is paid for only after acceptance under 2good.dev, the Code Colonies delivery model.

What we do
Consulting, technology and AI, run as one team.
The people who advise you sit next to the people who build and run what was agreed, so nothing is lost between the plan and the system.
Consulting Division
Strategy and deal advice, followed through to the system that carries it out.
M&A, management consulting, digital transformation, financial and risk advisory, and compliance.
Technology Division
Custom software, apps and cloud, reviewed by a senior engineer before every release.
Custom software, SaaS, web and mobile, e-commerce, cloud and DevOps, QA and security.
AI Division
AI that takes real work off your team.
Agents, machine learning, document reading and private assistants, built and run by small forward deployed pods.
How we work
No advance. You pay after you accept the work.
Every engagement starts with a signed specification that says what done means. We build, you check the output against it, and the invoice is raised only after you accept. Senior review and testing are included in the price.
