You know your business, and likely realise what needs to be done to fix these issues once and for all, and that’s modernising the old, out-of-date applications in your business.
The next problem is finding a way to modernise your digital applications without crashing your entire system in the process, sinking money, and failing to deliver.
Don’t forget, that also includes seriously accelerating your software development times, lowering the number of bugs, recruiting for the required development skill-sets, lowering your time-to-market, building the right team - oh, and being super-agile.
All at the same time.
It’s a lot.
That's where we come in.
We’ve helped many people like yourself move away from these constant, mind-numbing problems.
The only problem you should be having is trying to comprehend the sheer speed that your business is growing!
Everyone we meet has the same problems, and honestly, we got bored of hearing it. So we did something about it.
We’ve built our Accelerated Development™ modernisation programme to finally put these issues to bed once and for all.
What is Accelerated Development™?
Great developers should be utilised on the code that makes your business unique and the innovation that will keep you competitive and drive future growth.
Our Accelerated Development™ modernisation programme does that by freeing developers from the burden of run-of-the-mill, boilerplate work that anyone could do. All your developers need to do is plug in their customisations.
You own the code. No commitments. No license fees.

Gained the performance, capacity and resiliency to support the hyper-growth Seen in The industry
Hi, I’m Ratan Kalwa.
I lead the Software Development team here at Segen. We are a wholesaler of renewable energy hardware such as solar, storage, and EV charging. Our existing customer portal has driven our growth in the UK market from 2005 to the global brand it is today.
Our existing portal and business applications needed modernising. We brought in Mad Panda to help with this modernisation and bring their expertise in Cloud, Automation and Development to drive this.
Mad Panda launched our digital transformation strategy over 18 months ago and has been a central part of it ever since.
The Results
Mad Panda have helped:
- Open up new sales channels, including mobile and third-party integrations like OpenSolar.
- Update the underlying technology to have the performance, capacity and resiliency to support the hyper-growth we see in our industry.
All in all, Mad Panda have been very beneficial to the organisation.
They have:
- Showed excellent skill in gathering requirements, working closely with our product owner and existing vendors and analysing our existing systems.
- Developed a suite of APIs and a migration path to consolidate our business processes and take advantage of the latest DevOps automation.
- Built modern APIs representing a massive step forward in simplifying our consumer ordering process.
- Reduced our feature deployment time.
- Helped us stand up and onboard an in-house development team.
Throughout the project, Mad Panda has been skillful, has a great eye for detail, is professional and has ultimately delivered the first phase of our digital transformation journey.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Mad Panda to other organisations.

Saved £10,000 a week on infrastructure and management costs alone
Invevo’s existing software was a monolith application that was difficult to maintain and update. Every change—big or small—had to be coded, tested, and deployed manually. This took countless hours of developer time and not only slowed the roll out of updates, but also left the entire process vulnerable to human error.
Furthermore, the legacy platform was housed on a managed Cloud service that limited their access and cost them tens of thousands of pounds per week to maintain.
The Results
Using the DevOps mantra, Invevo was able to drastically improve their software development processes and in doing so benefited their overall operations.
Features can now be released much faster making them more responsive to customer needs.
Automated processes eliminated the need for experienced developers to be available out of hours.
The migration to Microsoft Azure saved £10k a week in costs associated with maintaining the legacy system.
Consolidating all clients onto one version of their app eliminated the need to support a handful of versions of their platform each with bespoke pieces.

200% improvement in sales processing and 80% reduction in service tickets
Each year between Christmas to Valentine’s, a high volume of sales was overloading the company’s e-commerce systems. Orders were getting lost and unhappy customers were calling to find out what had happened to their products. Staff were spending countless hours tracking down lost orders and tens of thousands of pounds in sales were disappearing from the bottom line.
The Results
The project was completed in just two months and was ready for the Christmas season. The changes lead to a 200% improvement in sales processing and 80% reduction in service tickets.

Insurance company gains the ability to generate 30,000 new leads per day
The client had already been working to develop the API for several months. In the meantime, life insurance policies were being quoted manually by phone, which severely limited product exposure, scalability, efficiency, and accuracy.
After an internal staffing issue, we were brought in to help finish the API. Unfortunately, upon evaluating the existing code we found it unworkable. We consulted with the client and they agreed to start over from scratch.
The Results
The new API gave the client the ability to process 30,000 real-time price quotes per day.
The entire system was built on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and incorporated powerful DevOps that made development faster, easier and more robust.
In order to speed up quotation times and deliver instant quotes, we deployed a cloud-based NoSQL database. This not only makes the database faster, it provides a fail-safe because data is distributed rather than being stored in a single location--should anything happen at one data centre, the API can still access the data in other data centres around the world.
