Software engineering · Islamabad, Pakistan
Software your business can rely on in year three.
We build booking platforms, operations systems and AI agents for companies that depend on software every day. Scoped in writing, built in the open, documented and handed over.

Services
Six things we build, and we build them properly.
Basic web work is being commoditised and we are not competing for it. What businesses need now is the harder half: systems that hold state, handle money, integrate with things outside their control, and use AI where it genuinely removes work rather than where it demonstrates well.
AI agents and workflow automation
Agents that carry a whole process end to end — reading the enquiry, checking availability, drafting the quote, escalating the parts a person should see.
Read more BKGBooking and reservation platforms
The system your revenue actually passes through — search, availability, quoting, payment, confirmation, amendment, cancellation. Built to survive the edge cases.
Read more OPSOperations and back-office systems
The platform your team lives in all day. Suppliers, jobs, staff, documents, margins, reporting — shaped around how you actually work rather than a generic template.
Read more RAGPrivate AI over your own data
Search and answering across your internal documents, contracts, records and history — running where your data is allowed to be.

Taking over a platform somebody else wrote and nobody currently understands — stabilising it, documenting it, and making it safe to change again.

Connecting suppliers, payment providers, accounting systems and CRMs so data moves reliably — including on the days the other end is down.

We know travel because we have run one.
Our founder runs a UK travel company. That means we have been the business whose day stops when the booking system stops — and we know which parts of these platforms get built badly, because we have had to work around them.
- Booking and reservation platforms — search, holds, deposits, confirmations
- Tour operator back-office and supplier management
- Itinerary builders that consultants will actually use
- Supplier and channel integrations, including the undocumented ones
- B2B agent portals with their own rates and credit terms
- AI agents that answer enquiries and assemble quotes overnight
Why the edge cases matter
A customer wants to move one date. Behind that: availability released on the old date, held on the new one, supplier notified, price differential calculated, deposit reallocated, payment schedule rebuilt, documents reissued, and the agent's commission adjusted.
Twelve things have to happen and any platform that got one of them wrong will be discovered by a customer rather than by a test. This is the work, and it is why generic booking software gets outgrown.
Selected work
What we changed, and what it was worth.
Written plainly, with the client anonymised where they asked for it and the relationship disclosed where there is one. Numbers are the ones that were measured, not the ones that sound best.

How a project runs
Five stages. You see the work at every one.
The order matters, which is why these are numbered. Skipping stage one is how projects end up twice as long, and skipping stage five is how a client ends up unable to leave.
-
Scope in writing
A specification with acceptance criteria and — more importantly — an explicit list of what is not included. Ambiguity here is the single most common cause of a dispute later, so we would rather have the awkward conversation in week one than month three.
-
Build in increments
Weekly, in something you can open and click. Not a status report — the actual thing. A short written update goes out every Friday whether the week went well or badly.
-
Test what matters
Automated tests around the logic where being wrong costs money, and a manual checklist for the rest. Then acceptance testing by your team before anything goes live.
-
Document as we go
README, architecture note, data model, deployment instructions. Written during the build while the reasoning is fresh, not reconstructed afterwards from memory.
-
Hand over properly
Repository, credentials, documentation, recorded walkthrough, and a thirty-day warranty on defects. You could give the system to another developer the next morning. That is the test we hold ourselves to.
Ways to start
Six of them, and the first one is small.
You should not have to commit to a build to find out what a build involves. Every one of these produces a document you keep, whatever you decide afterwards.
Discovery Sprint
The cheapest way to find out what you are actually buying.
USD 800–1,500
What is includedSystem Audit
An honest assessment of the platform you already have.
USD 600–1,200
What is includedDevelopment Retainer
An agreed number of days a month, with a response commitment.
USD 2,000–5,000 / month
What is includedAI Readiness Review
An assessment of where AI can and cannot help in your operation, before you spend anything building it.
USD 1,000–2,500
What is includedManaged Platform
Hosting, monitoring and support for a system we built, on a defined support window.
from USD 400/month
What is includedAutomation Care
Monitoring, tuning and reporting for AI workflows we have built for you.
USD 500–1,500/month
What is includedWhy us
Three claims, and each one is checkable.
We compete on continuity and directness, not on price. There will always be a team quoting less, and for a system your business depends on, that is rarely the number that matters.
Questions people ask before they get in touch
What does Codic Systems build?
Custom software that a business runs on daily: booking and reservation platforms, operations and back-office systems, AI agents that handle enquiries and quoting, private AI over internal documents, and integrations between suppliers, payment providers and accounting systems. Our focus sector is travel technology, and we also build transaction-critical systems for education, healthcare, government and enterprise.
Where is Codic Systems based?
Islamabad, Pakistan. We are a registered Pakistani company — Codic Systems (SMC-Private) Limited, CUIN 0352637, incorporated on 27 August 2026 — working with clients in the United Kingdom, Europe, the Gulf and North America.
How much does a project cost?
Integrations start around USD 1,500. AI agent deployments run USD 3,000 to 12,000. Operations systems run USD 6,000 to 25,000. Booking platforms run USD 8,000 to 35,000. We publish ranges because a range filters out projects that were never going to fit, and that saves both sides time.
How do projects start?
Almost always with a Discovery Sprint — one to two weeks, USD 800 to 1,500, producing a written specification, an architecture outline, wireframes, a risk list and a fixed-price build quote. The document is yours whether or not you build with us.
Who actually writes the code?
The engineer you speak to. There is no account manager relaying your requirements to somebody you never meet, and there is no handoff to a different team after the sales conversation.
What happens when the project is finished?
You get the repository, a README that gets the system running in under an hour, an architecture note, the documented data model, tested deployment instructions, all credentials, the test suite, a list of known issues, a dependency inventory and a recorded walkthrough. If another developer could not take over from that pack, the project is not finished.
