Why choose CodeNest for your API & backend development project

A poorly designed backend creates technical debt, security vulnerabilities, and performance problems. We build backend systems that are structured, documented, and ready to grow.

Let’s talk
Backend code on a screen
  • One team, end to end

    Design, engineering and QA work as one team in Mohali, so nothing gets lost between hand-offs. You talk directly to the people building your product.

  • Clear scope and budget

    Before any code is written we agree on the scope, deliverables and budget, and we tell you about any risk to the timeline as soon as we see it.

  • Working software every week

    You see a demo every week, not a big reveal at the end, so your feedback shapes the product while it is still cheap to change.

  • We stay after launch

    Launch is where most of our partnerships begin. We stay on for fixes, updates and new features, and keep the code documented so it is easy to hand over.

Zyvo

CRM & HR software

Zyvo brings CRM, HR, recruitment and operations into a single workspace built to run a company end to end. Because every module shares the same records, sales and people teams stop reconciling spreadsheets, and dashboards update the moment someone changes a record.

We built a multi-tenant workspace where CRM, HR and operations modules share one data model, with role-based permissions down to which records each role can see. Lists and dashboards update in real time, it installs as a progressive web app, and it connects to Callsy so calls start straight from a lead.
