Hands-on support for complex software environments.
How Fostech works
Hands-on software help with senior technical judgement behind it.
Fostech is useful where software already matters to the business: products that need ongoing development, inherited systems that need support, integrations that need maintaining, or websites and cloud services that need reliable technical care.
Work is practical and close to the system. It can include hands-on development, bug fixes, small enhancements, supplier coordination, deployment support, documentation, and careful modernisation.
Where needed, that work can extend into technical ownership, architecture, scoping, productionising prototypes or AI-built tools, and fractional CTO support for organisations without a full-time technical lead.
Core services
Practical support, development, and integration where software matters.
Product development and feature delivery
Practical delivery of new features, internal tools, portals, APIs, dashboards, ecommerce functionality, workflow automation, and incremental improvements that fit the wider technical landscape.
Integrations and automation
Design, build, and maintenance of integrations, automations, data import/export processes, reporting workflows, and API connections between business systems.
Application stabilisation and project rescue
Assessment and recovery work for fragile, unsupported, under-documented, supplier-dependent, or partially delivered software systems, followed by staged improvement planning.
Prototype and internal tool productionisation
Review, hardening, documentation, deployment, and maintainability work for prototypes, AI-built tools, vibe-coded apps, dashboards, automations, and supplier-built features that need to become reliable business software.
Technical leadership retainers
Senior technical guidance and fractional CTO support alongside hands-on delivery, helping organisations prioritise work, coordinate suppliers, shape sensible plans, and keep important software moving.
