Challenge

Zilch set an ambitious goal: launch a fully compliant digital wallet in just four months. Innovify was tasked with building the platform from the ground up, fast, secure, and ready for scale.

The project came with critical technical and compliance requirements:

  • PCI DSS certification and FCA approval, ensuring full regulatory compliance
  • Ultra-low latency transactions under 250 milliseconds, delivering a seamless user experience.
  • Successful integration of multiple third-party APIs, including GPS, Xero, and CashFlows

The solution is cloud-native, API-first, and built for scalability, enabling Zilch to launch confidently and expand across the UK market. With compliance-by-design and optimized architecture, the product is ready for rapid growth.

Build a scalable group travel platform capable of orchestrating participants, routes, and shared experiences in real time.

Flock Travel needed to solve the complexity of planning group trips by bringing multiple users, itineraries, and coordination flows into a unified system. The core challenges included:

  • Coordinating trip planning across multiple participants
  • Enabling users to create, share, and join travel plans
  • Managing routes, schedules, and event participation within a single workflow
  • Reducing friction in group communication and coordination
  • Ensuring scalability across growing user groups and travel scenarios

A product and technology partner was required to design and build an integrated platform that could streamline group travel planning, enable collaborative participation, and support scalable growth through a unified social and logistics coordination model.
