Scope shapes and independent products
Illustrative client scope shapes for planning discussions, plus independent products the founder builds.
Retail operations software
Custom software to support retail operations: stock movement, store comms, role-based admin, and integrations with ERP or POS systems.
A useful shape when manual processes and spreadsheets no longer match how stores operate day to day.
- Operational web or mobile tools for store and head-office teams
- Integrations with inventory, ordering, or finance systems
- Clear API boundaries and maintainable admin access
Insurance mobile app modernisation
Modernising production insurance customer or adviser mobile apps: React Native upgrades, release planning, and architecture that respects compliance and backend constraints.
Fits products on older React Native stacks where small releases have become slow or risky.
- Dependency and native-module inventory with upgrade sequencing
- Release engineering, device testing, and store delivery discipline
- Architecture review aligned to security, data handling, and vendor SDK limits
Independently built products
Alongside consultancy work, Hicham builds independent software products, including Qlaap and Zafafi Planner.
These are products the founder develops and operates; they are separate from client project history on this page.
