No junior-built products. Feedback is always received as a gift. ### Key Facts - First asset delivery: 7 days - Intake process: 1-hour Zoom call or on-site visit - Engineering bench: Senior-only - Location: California - Tagline: Custom. Communicative. On-Time. ### Capabilities Audo builds across five core capability areas: 1. Applications — Full-stack web and mobile applications engineered for scale, from MVPs to enterprise platforms handling millions of users. 2. Interfaces — User interfaces and design systems that prioritize usability, accessibility, and performance across every device and screen size. 3. Dashboards — Real-time analytics and operational dashboards that transform raw data into actionable intelligence for decision-makers. 4. Internal Tools — Workflow automation and internal productivity platforms that eliminate manual processes and reduce operational overhead. 5. Security — Enterprise security architecture and compliance engineering that protects sensitive data and meets regulatory requirements. ### Our Approach Audo follows a structured engagement process: 1. Discovery (Week 1) — We begin with a 1-hour Zoom call or on-site visit to understand your workflows, constraints, and goals. No decks. No fluff. Just direct conversation about what needs to be built. 2. Architecture (Week 1) — We design the technical architecture, define the data model, and establish the development roadmap. You get a clear picture of what's being built and why. 3. Build (Weeks 1-4) — Senior engineers write production code from day one. First deliverable within 7 days. Weekly demos. Direct Slack access to the engineering team. 4. Ship & Iterate — We deploy to production, monitor performance, and iterate based on real user feedback. Ongoing maintenance and support available. ### Industries Served Audo builds custom software for: enterprise, universities, media companies, energy companies, medical offices, hospitals, law firms, logistics companies, real estate groups, fintech teams, nonprofits, government agencies, retail brands, SaaS companies, construction firms, and startups. ### Contact To start a project, visit https://audo.manus.space/#contact and submit the inquiry form with your email and project details. ## Case Studies Audo has delivered enterprise software projects across healthcare, logistics, fintech, legal, education, and compliance. All case studies are available at https://audo.manus.space/work. ### Healthcare Claims Platform Rebuild — ClearPath Health Rebuilt a legacy claims adjudication system serving 12M+ members across three states. The original monolithic .NET system had 48-hour claim processing times and couldn't meet upcoming CMS FHIR R4 interoperability mandates. Audo designed a phased migration using an event-driven microservices architecture with a strangler fig pattern. The new system achieved 99.97% uptime, reduced claim processing to under 4 hours, and achieved FHIR R4 compliance 6 months ahead of the CMS deadline. Tech stack: Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform. ### Real-Time Freight Visibility Platform — Meridian Logistics Built a freight tracking platform from concept to production for a seed-stage logistics startup. The platform integrated with 47 carrier APIs, processed bursty webhook data, and served real-time dashboards with sub-second query times. Grew from zero to 340,000+ shipments tracked monthly within 18 months. Meridian subsequently closed a $22M Series B, citing platform scalability as a key factor. Tech stack: React, TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, WebSockets, AWS Lambda, SQS, ElasticSearch, Mapbox. ### Wealth Management Portfolio Platform — Hargrove Capital Built a custom portfolio management platform for a $200M wealth management firm that had outgrown spreadsheets and legacy tools. Implemented their proprietary allocation methodology as a configurable rules engine, automated client reporting, and integrated with custodian APIs for rebalancing. Advisor administrative time dropped from 6 hours/week to under 45 minutes. Passed SOC 2 Type II audit on first attempt. Tech stack: React, TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS, Plaid API, AES-256 Encryption. ### AI Document Intelligence for Legal Discovery — Whitfield & Associates Engineered an AI-powered document intelligence system for a 120-attorney litigation firm. The system combined NLP with large language models for document classification, with active learning from attorney feedback. Reduced document review time by 94% and decreased cost per document from $1.80 to $0.12. The first case using the system saved $1.8M in review costs. Results withstood challenge in three federal court proceedings. Tech stack: Python, TypeScript, React, PostgreSQL, OpenAI API, Elasticsearch, Apache Tika. ### K-12 School District SaaS Platform — BrightPath Education Rebuilt a single-tenant education MVP into a multi-tenant SaaS platform with FERPA-compliant row-level security. The platform unified attendance tracking, parent communication, facility management, and compliance reporting. Scaled from 30 pilot districts to 850+ schools across 120 districts. Mobile app rating improved from 2.1 to 4.7 stars. Tech stack: React, React Native, TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Row-Level Security, Redis, Firebase Cloud Messaging, AWS. ### Compliance Automation for Fintech — Vaultline Built a compliance automation engine for a Series A fintech startup targeting mid-market financial institutions. The platform handled BSA/AML monitoring, KYC verification, SAR filing, and OFAC screening through a configurable rules engine. Reduced compliance operational costs by 85% for pilot institutions and processed $4.2B in monitored transactions in its first year. Passed OCC examination at two pilot banks without findings. Tech stack: TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, HSM Integration, Docker, Kubernetes. ## Blog Category Landing Pages Audo provides dedicated category landing pages for focused browsing: - Healthcare Articles (https://audo.manus.space/blog/category/healthcare): HIPAA compliance, EHR integrations, clinical workflow automation, and health data interoperability. - Fintech Articles (https://audo.manus.space/blog/category/fintech): Payment systems, regulatory compliance, real-time processing, and secure financial infrastructure. - Security Articles (https://audo.manus.space/blog/category/security): Threat modeling, zero-trust architecture, and secure development lifecycle. - Government Articles (https://audo.manus.space/blog/category/government): FedRAMP, procurement compliance, citizen services modernization. - Legal Articles (https://audo.manus.space/blog/category/legal): Legal tech automation, document intelligence. - Education Articles (https://audo.manus.space/blog/category/education): Campus platforms, LMS development. - Logistics Articles (https://audo.manus.space/blog/category/logistics): Supply chain optimization, fleet management, WMS. - Construction Articles (https://audo.manus.space/blog/category/construction): Construction management software. - Strategy Articles (https://audo.manus.space/blog/category/strategy): Build vs buy, ROI analysis, digital transformation. - Engineering Articles (https://audo.manus.space/blog/category/engineering): Architecture, CI/CD, testing, performance. ## Blog Articles Audo publishes engineering perspectives on custom software development, enterprise architecture, security, and the craft of building things that last.
