Codevate builds bespoke software and mobile applications for small and medium-sized UK businesses from its Birmingham base, working exclusively with UK-based developers since the company's founding in 2013. Projects have included a ride-hailing app and an integrated bespoke app and web portal for a retirement community, reflecting a focus on large-scale, custom platforms rather than off-the-shelf products. Work spans web apps, online portals, and full business platforms designed to integrate with API-driven systems.
The consultancy-driven process combines Lean and Agile methods, and the multidisciplinary team describes itself as platform agnostic, moving across web and mobile stacks as a project requires. Native mobile development uses Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android, while React Native supports cross-platform builds where a single codebase suits the client's needs. Bespoke web applications are typically built in PHP using the Symfony framework, giving structure to larger, mobile-friendly platforms.
Beyond application builds, Codevate's services extend into mobile backend and API development, devsecops enablement, and cloud architecture across AWS, Azure, and GCP, supported by CI/CD pipelines for ongoing delivery. This combination allows the team to take a project from initial architecture through to native or cross-platform app development and into deployment and maintenance. The mix of bespoke ecosystem-building and infrastructure work suits organisations that need both a custom application and the underlying systems to run it reliably, rather than a single app built in isolation.
