Software that takes work off your team's plate.
Hontec builds two things. The first is our own product line — Pharmacare, Flow, Vault and Lens — used by pharmacies and supply networks, plus operations, compliance and finance teams who want to retire spreadsheets and one-off scripts. The second is custom software, built with your engineers on the calls they're already on.

Teams we ship with, from public lenders to Series-C SaaS:
- Lendingo
- Hexabank
- Hospitable
- Northshore Retail
- Polymath SaaS
- Trustline
- Adamant Logistics
- Civica Health
Two ways we plug into your roadmap.
Most of our clients use both — our products to retire categories of work, and our engineering teams to build the differentiated parts of their stack.
Our own software, deployed in weeks.
Four products built by our team for problems we kept seeing — fragmented pharmacy supply chains, approvals stuck in inboxes, documents scattered across drives, and operational data trapped in CSVs. You license what you need, integrate, and move on.
Engineering teams that ship with yours.
Founder-led squads drawn from our senior freelance bench — engineers, designers, PMs — embedded into your delivery rhythm. Same standup, same Jira, same on-call rotation if you want it. Project-based, with promises in writing.
- Web platforms — Customer-facing and internal web apps engineered for the next three years, not the next sprint.
- Mobile apps — iOS, Android and cross-platform builds shipped to the stores, not just demoed.
- Cloud & DevOps — Migrate, modernise, or just stop the 2am pages
- AI integration — LLMs and ML built into real workflows
- Product engineering teams — Dedicated squads
Four tools. One problem each. Solved properly.
Pharmacare
The healthcare supply network — manufacturer to patient.
One network connecting manufacturers, distributors, pharmacies and patients. Real-time inventory and orders across the chain, e-prescription handling, recalls in hours not weeks, and a consumer storefront sitting on top of it all.
Flow
Workflow & approvals for operations teams.
Build approval chains, request forms and SLA-tracked work queues without touching a workflow engine — visually, in an afternoon.
Vault
Secure document management for regulated work.
Versioned, e-signature-ready document storage with granular access, retention policies, and audit trails — built for finance, healthcare and legal teams.
Lens
Operational analytics for mid-market teams.
Pre-built dashboards for sales, ops, finance and support — connect your warehouse or operational DB and get answers, not a BI project.
What our squads bring on day one.
Senior-led, remote-first teams based out of India with delivery overlap from San Francisco to Singapore. We staff the engagement with people whose CVs you read first.
Web platforms
Customer-facing and internal web apps engineered for the next three years, not the next sprint.
ExploreMobile apps
iOS, Android and cross-platform builds shipped to the stores, not just demoed.
ExploreCloud & DevOps
Migrate, modernise, or just stop the 2am pages — AWS, Azure and GCP.
ExploreAI integration
LLMs and ML built into real workflows — measured by business outcome, not demo wow.
ExploreProduct engineering teams
Dedicated squads — engineering, design, PM — embedded into your delivery rhythm.
ExploreNeed a different shape?
Fixed-bid discovery, T&M extensions, on-site augmentation, transition-out plans — we've done all of them and we'll happily say no when the shape's wrong.
Pattern recognition from twelve regulated industries.
We've shipped into the messy bits — KYC at lenders, clinical workflows at hospitals, peak-day orders at retailers. The pattern recognition is the difference.
All industriesBanking & Fintech
Core banking add-ons, lending automation, fraud and KYC — built for regulators, not just users.
Healthcare & Life Sciences
Provider workflows, patient portals, clinical data tooling — HIPAA-aware, audit-ready.
Retail & E-commerce
Storefronts, OMS, inventory and last-mile — speed at Black Friday volumes.
Manufacturing & Supply Chain
Shop-floor MES, traceability, warehouse and supplier portals — wired to ERP, not duct-taped.
SaaS & ISVs
Multi-tenant platforms, customer-facing analytics, integrations marketplaces — co-built with your team.
Public sector
Citizen-facing services and back-office modernisation, delivered against fixed milestones.
Outcomes we can name — with permission.
Three of the dozens of engagements we shipped this year. Each one is a write-up your CTO can defend in a board meeting.
Cut loan disbursal from 6 days to 41 minutes
A top-10 Indian non-bank lender
Re-built a 14-year-old origination stack on a modular core, connected 22 underwriting data sources, and shipped the first product line live in 11 weeks.
One clinical workflow across 14 hospitals
A 14-hospital private network
Replaced four legacy EMRs and a tangle of spreadsheets with a single clinical and operational workspace — without a Big Bang cutover.
An OMS that survives Black Friday
A global fashion retailer
Stood up an order management system that holds at 42× normal load — replaced a vendor product that had failed two peaks in a row.
A delivery method built to be auditable, not theatrical.
No five-stage waterfalls labelled ‘agile.’ You see the codebase from week one, the cost model from week two, and you can walk away with everything we've built whenever you want to.
Two-week discovery
Fixed scope, fixed price. We come out with a build plan, risks named, and a recommendation — including ‘don’t build this’ when it’s the right call.
First production slice
Production-grade in 4–8 weeks. Not a prototype — a thin slice with auth, infra, observability, and one real workflow live.
Iterate to scale
Weekly demo, monthly retro, quarterly business review. Roadmap stays in your Jira and we publish velocity in absolute terms.
Transition out
When you’re ready to take it in-house, we move our engineers off the project and yours on. Written into the SOW, not improvised.
A different kind of services firm.
A founder-led studio with a senior freelance bench. We make a small number of promises on every engagement and we deliver on them — that's the whole pitch.
Senior by default
Every freelancer on our bench has 8+ years of production experience. We don’t farm work out to graduates and call it ‘the team.’
We staff the people you met
A founder is on every engagement of consequence, and the freelancer in the standup is the one named on the SOW. Swap-outs need your written sign-off.
Promises, not methodology
Each engagement carries a few named, dated commitments. Miss one and we credit your invoice — written into every SOW we’ve signed.
Security taken seriously
DPAs, BAAs, NDAs and customer-managed keys on request. We’re honest about where we are on SOC 2 and ISO 27001 — ask us and we’ll show you.
“We've worked with three large outsourcers in the last decade. Hontec is the first where the engineer on the standup actually wrote the code we're reviewing. That's the bar.”
What buyers ask us first.
Are you a product company or a services studio?
Both. We license our product line — Pharmacare, Flow, Vault and Lens — and we deliver custom software through a small founder-led core and a senior freelance bench. The product line keeps the engineering work sharp; the engineering work keeps the product line honest.
How small is too small for you to engage?
Our smallest engagement is a focused 6–8 week build with one or two senior engineers. Below that, you’ll get better leverage from a freelancer marketplace, and we’ll happily refer you to one.
Where is the team based?
We’re a remote-first studio headquartered in Vadodara, Gujarat. The freelance bench is distributed across India and configured to overlap with US East, EU and APAC clients. We travel to clients for kickoff and quarterly business reviews.
Can we hire your engineers at the end?
Yes — there’s a transition clause in every SOW. We’d rather you hire our engineer than have them resent the engagement. We arrange the hand-over and step aside.
Do you sign DPAs, BAAs and NDAs?
Yes. We send our standard mutual NDA same-day on request, and we sign DPAs and BAAs without drama. Customer-managed keys and stricter handling are on the table — ask.
What does a discovery cost?
A two-week discovery is fixed price, scoped on a 30-minute call. It includes a build plan, infra & cost model, risks register, and a written recommendation — including ‘don’t build this’ when that’s the answer.
Have a problem worth solving? Bring it.
Tell us what you're trying to ship. We'll come back inside two working days with people, a plan, or both.
