Telemedicine & Patient App for Galway
A telemedicine platform lets patients book and attend video consultations, receive prescriptions and pay online. For Galway clients we usually begin with secure video (encrypted consultations with chat) and e-prescriptions, then add ehr integration and payments & insurance. Pricing is set as per your requirements and budget.
SaaS MVP Development for Galway
A SaaS MVP is the smallest version of a subscription software product that proves customers will use and pay for it. For Galway clients we usually begin with launch & iterate (production launch and weekly releases) and discovery sprint, then add ux prototype and multi-tenant core. Typical first release: 8–12 weeks.
Digital Wallet & E-Wallet App for Galway
A digital wallet app stores money or payment credentials so users can pay, transfer and top up from their phone. For Galway clients we usually begin with ledger & reconciliation (double-entry wallet ledger with audit trail) and kyc tiers, then add p2p & qr payments and top-ups & cash-out. Typical first release: 12–20 weeks.
Fleet, Ride-Hailing & Mobility Platform for Galway
A mobility platform manages vehicles, drivers and trips — from ride-hailing and car rental to corporate fleets. For Galway clients we usually begin with driver app (trips, navigation and earnings) and fleet dashboard, then add telematics and pricing engine. Typical first release: 14–20 weeks.
Example project in Galway
Picture a pharma business in Galway that needs a telemedicine & patient app. Discovery and a clickable prototype take about two weeks; the first release — e-prescriptions, ehr integration and payments & insurance — follows in 10–16 weeks.
Customers pay with SEPA Instant, personal data is handled under EU GDPR, the product is hosted on AWS eu-west-1 (Ireland), and the team reviews appointment no-show rate and clinician admin time every month.
