What Duara Dev builds

Duara Dev is the software-development arm of Duara Technology. It plans, builds, integrates and supports customer-facing and internal systems alongside the hardware, cloud, security and infrastructure supplied by the technology division.

Websites and web platforms

Corporate websites, product catalogues, e-commerce, portals and enquiry or booking flows planned around content ownership, search visibility, performance and the business process behind each form.

Website and e-commerce platforms

Mobile and web applications

Customer-facing and internal applications for accounts, field work, approvals, data capture, operations and reporting. The delivery scope is defined from users, devices, connectivity and the systems the application must work with.

Discuss an application

ERP, CRM, POS and business systems

Implementation and custom-development work around finance, procurement, inventory, sales, customer service and point-of-sale workflows, including roles, reports and migration from existing records.

Explore ERP planning

AI implementation and automation

Applied AI and workflow automation for defined business tasks, with representative data, evaluation, human review and operating controls included in the scope rather than added after a prototype.

AI platforms and services

Systems integration

APIs and integrations that connect websites, applications, ERP, CRM, POS, databases, identity, devices and third-party services. Existing interface documentation and test environments are reviewed during discovery.

Developer and DevOps platforms

Payments and fintech integration

Payment acceptance, callbacks, reconciliation and reporting integrated into merchant or platform workflows. ScanPay is the group's payment service; other payment interfaces are scoped against the required markets and systems.

Payment services

Data migration and reporting

Assessment, cleaning, mapping and controlled movement of business data into a new system, with reconciliation and rollback criteria. Reporting is designed around the decisions users need to make.

Database platforms

Maintenance and support

Post-launch monitoring, defect correction, security and dependency updates, backups, change requests and user support agreed as an operating service with clear ownership.

Discuss ongoing support

How a software project moves from idea to operation

The stages are adapted to the project, but each decision is made before the next one depends on it.

  1. Step 1

    Discovery

    Clarify the business outcome, users, current process, systems, constraints and decisions that still need evidence.

  2. Step 2

    Design

    Translate the approved scope into journeys, data, interfaces and acceptance criteria before committing to a full build.

  3. Step 3

    Development

    Build in reviewable increments, keeping source, environments, configuration and integrations controlled.

  4. Step 4

    Testing

    Check functional paths, permissions, integrations, devices, performance and failure cases with representative data.

  5. Step 5

    Deployment

    Prepare environments and data, agree cutover and rollback, release the system and verify production behavior.

  6. Step 6

    Handover

    Provide agreed documentation, administrator access, training and ownership of services, credentials and support routes.

  7. Step 7

    Maintenance

    Monitor, update and improve the live system under the maintenance and support scope agreed for the project.

Prepare a project brief

For a useful project quotation, explain the problem to solve, the people who use the system, the current workflow, required website, web, mobile or business-system features, existing software and data, integrations, payment needs, security or compliance constraints, deployment environment and the outcome used to accept the work.

Frequently asked questions

What does Duara Dev do?

Duara Dev builds websites, web platforms, and mobile and web applications, and handles payments integration and systems integration work. It is the software arm of Duara Technology, which supplies the hardware, networking and infrastructure.

Can Duara Dev work on an existing system?

Yes. Taking over, extending or integrating an existing codebase or platform is common work. What is involved depends on the state of the system, which is assessed before anything is quoted.

Do you build the hardware side as well?

Through Duara Technology, yes - servers, networking, endpoints and infrastructure are supplied and deployed by the same group, which is often the difference between a system that launches and one that waits on procurement.

How do I start a project?

Send an outline of the business problem, users, current process, required features, existing systems, data and integrations. Discovery confirms the scope and unresolved decisions before a commercial proposal is prepared.
