RozFlow Rezolvedesk

SaaS products

Multi-tenant, subscription-billed products we build and run ourselves: RozFlow (attendance and payroll) and Rezolvedesk (helpdesk).

The Laravel backend usually serves more than the web app: the same API powers our React Native and Flutter mobile apps and, where AI is involved, sits beside a FastAPI service.

Why Laravel

Why We Build on Laravel, and When We Recommend Something Else

The essentials are built in

Authentication, roles, queues, scheduling, file storage and email come out of the box, so your budget goes into the parts specific to your business.

Inexpensive to host

A Laravel application runs well on a modest VPS.

Easy to maintain later

The hiring pool in Pune and across India is deep: any competent Laravel developer can maintain what we build.

It is not always the right answer

WordPressA content-led website your team will publish to is usually better on WordPress.
PythonAI, data-heavy or machine-learning work belongs in Python; we build those as FastAPI services that talk to a Laravel front-end.
Node / GoVery high-throughput real-time systems may call for Node or Go. If yours does, we will tell you rather than force Laravel.
Under the hood

How We Work in Laravel

Versions

New projects start on the current Laravel release; we upgrade existing applications from Laravel 5–8 to current.

Architecture

Eloquent, Form Requests, Policies, Jobs and Queues, API Resources. Opinionated but conventional, so the next developer is not surprised.

Front-end

Blade with Bootstrap or Tailwind for admin panels; React, Vue or Livewire where the UI is interactive; REST APIs for mobile apps.

Database

MySQL as standard; migrations and seeders in the repository; schema designed before screens.

Testing

Feature tests on critical paths, such as bookings, payroll and invoices, on request.

Deployment

VPS or cloud behind Cloudflare; Git-based CI/CD; a staging server for every project; backups and monitoring under support. See Cloud & DevOps.

Integrations we have shipped

Biometric devicesRazorpayPayUWhatsApp Business APISMS gatewaysGoogle MapsTally exportEmail servicesOther third-party APIs

Handover

Code in your Git repository, hosting in your name, documentation and a recorded walkthrough. You own everything.

AttendanceController.php
public function store(StoreAttendanceRequest $request)
{
    // Policy: who may mark attendance
    $this->authorize('create', Attendance::class);

    // Form Request has already validated
    $entry = Attendance::create($request->validated());

    // Slow work goes to a queued Job
    SyncBiometricPunches::dispatch($entry->site);

    // Same response for web and mobile
    return new AttendanceResource($entry);
}

Ways to Work With Us on Laravel

01

End-to-end new build

Discovery, a written scope and a fixed quote; delivered in two- to three-week releases on a staging server you can log into.

02

Take over an existing Laravel application

We audit the codebase, fix what is urgent, document what exists, then continue development or hand it back cleaner than we found it. Common triggers: the original developer left, the app is on an old version, or it has outgrown its hosting. See how we took an Emergent-built React and Node product to production, or our production setup for AI-built apps.

03

Laravel upgrade and modernisation

Moving an application from Laravel 5, 6, 7 or 8 to the current release, with the PHP upgrade, dependency updates and regression testing. Usually quoted as a fixed project after a one-day audit.

04

Dedicated Laravel developers

One or more developers on a monthly basis, working in your repository and your process, managed by us.

What drives cost: roles and screens, integrations, data migration and reporting depth. See how we price custom software.

“Apothem built us a customized workforce management system that finally put all our site labour and wages in one place.”

FAQ

Laravel Development: Common Questions

Something else? Ask us on WhatsApp.

Yes. We start with a short code and infrastructure audit, give you a written assessment of what is urgent, what is technical debt and what is fine, and a quote for the first phase. You keep your repository; we work in it.

New projects start on the current release. We upgrade existing applications from Laravel 5–8, including the PHP upgrade that usually comes with it.

WordPress if the site is mostly content your team will publish. Laravel if it needs custom logic: bookings, roles, admin panels, integrations, or anything that behaves like an application. We build both and will recommend one.

Yes, on a monthly basis, working in your repository and your process. Rates depend on seniority and duration; we quote after a call.

It depends on roles, screens, integrations and data migration. A focused admin system is a few weeks of work; a multi-module ERP or marketplace is several months in phases. We give a fixed quote after discovery.
