A selection of recent work: internal business systems, direct ordering and customer channels, platforms and websites. Some are client projects, some are businesses we run ourselves. Every one was built around how the business actually operates and handed over with full ownership.
The two flagship projects at the top show the full range: an internal payroll system built around an existing attendance scanner, and a direct ordering channel built around a working kitchen. Both are businesses OPEN operates, so the systems were built for real operations and are actively used in the operation. Directly after them sits Expat Foods Thailand, independent client work where the most valuable part of the project was questioning the original brief.
A standard fingerprint scanner already recorded attendance and exported CSV files. OPEN built the missing software layer around that existing hardware: structured attendance, exception checking, payroll calculations, payslips and management reporting. The scanner was never replaced.
Existing scanner and export kept exactly as they were
BRU wanted an additional ordering channel it controlled, alongside the delivery platforms. OPEN connected menu, cart, customer accounts, PromptPay payment, delivery details, staff workflow and direct fulfilment into one owned system.
Orders flow straight into the way staff already work
The client asked for a basic online presence to support an established physical store. We challenged that brief and recommended online ordering instead, because it could reach customers well beyond the local catchment without disrupting the shop. The store carried on trading as before, and the new channel opened the range to customers across Thailand.

Several of these projects are businesses we run, fund and staff ourselves. That means we have done the payroll, taken the orders, handled the refunds and sat with the reports. Operating our own businesses means many of the problems we review are problems we have encountered ourselves.
We use the same tools, process and standards for our own ventures as for client work, and every client project is handed over with full ownership of the code, content and data.
