For leaders who need software to catch up with the business

QalbIT supports organisations that have outgrown spreadsheets, legacy tools and manual processes. We partner with business and IT leaders to design and deliver digital transformation programs that people actually adopt.

Business owner or managing director

You know the business is held back by scattered tools, paperwork and manual approvals, but you do not have the internal product and engineering capacity to fix it.

How we help

We map your current processes, prioritise pain points and design a phased transformation roadmap that fits your budget and risk appetite.

COO or operations lead

You are responsible for throughput, quality and customer experience, yet data is fragmented across spreadsheets, email and disconnected systems.

How we help

We build internal tools, dashboards and automation that give your team a single source of truth and cut down on repetitive work.

CIO, CTO or IT manager

You own a legacy stack and multiple vendors, and you need a pragmatic engineering partner who can modernise systems without disrupting daily operations.

How we help

We assess your current systems, propose modern architectures and deliver new modules, integrations or full replacements in controlled phases.

Functional head (Finance, HR, Sales)

Your team struggles with manual reporting, double data entry and limited visibility into performance.

How we help

We design and implement software and reporting that streamline your workflows and give you reliable, on-demand data.

Common digital transformation problems we help solve

  • Critical processes running on spreadsheets, email threads and shared drives.
  • Multiple systems that do not talk to each other, forcing manual data entry and reconciliation.
  • Legacy applications that are slow, fragile and difficult to change or integrate.
  • Previous “digital transformation” attempts that stalled due to unclear scope or poor adoption.
  • Limited reporting and analytics, making it hard to see what is happening across the business.
  • Unclear ownership between business and IT, leading to missed timelines and misaligned expectations.

What we deliver

Change support, training and handover

Training, documentation and rollout support so teams adopt new systems and internal IT can own and extend them over time.

We plan change management alongside the software build, not as an afterthought.

We deliver digital transformation projects from Ahmedabad, India, partnering with organisations across India, the UK, Europe and the Middle East.

How we work

A practical digital transformation process from mapping to rollout

Our process breaks digital transformation into clear, reviewable stages so business and IT stay aligned, risks are surfaced early and teams can see progress in working software – not just slide decks.

Digital transformation timelines vary based on scope, but most of our clients start with a 3–6 week discovery and roadmap phase followed by pilots and phased rollouts over several months. We structure each phase so you can validate outcomes before committing to the next.

  1. 1

    Current-state discovery

    Current-state discovery and process mapping

    We map key processes, systems, data flows and pain points with stakeholders across the business, capturing both formal and informal ways work happens.

    Key outputs:  Process maps, system inventory, pain point list and high-level opportunity areas.

  2. 2

    Future-state design

    Future-state design and transformation roadmap

    We define the target operating model, prioritise use cases and design a transformation roadmap that sequences pilots, platform work and integrations.

    Key outputs:  Future-state process design, solution concepts, phased roadmap and initial estimates.

  3. 3

    Pilot / proof of concept

    Pilot or proof-of-concept build

    We build a focused pilot solution – an internal tool, integration or portal – to validate the approach with real users and data.

    Key outputs:  Working pilot in a controlled environment, feedback backlog and refined roadmap.

  4. 4

    Rollout and change

    Phased rollout and change management

    We roll out solutions in phases across teams or locations, with training, communication and support tuned to your organisation.

    Key outputs:  Rollout plan, training materials, go-live checklists and adoption metrics.

  5. 5

    Optimisation & automation

    Optimisation, automation and analytics

    After initial rollout we streamline workflows further, add automation and improve analytics based on usage data and feedback.

    Key outputs:  Improved workflows, automation backlog, refined dashboards and reports.

  6. 6

    Long-term partnership

    Long-term support and continuous improvement

    We can stay on as a product and engineering partner, or hand over cleanly to your internal team with documentation and support options.

    Key outputs:  Support model, documented systems, knowledge transfer and longer-term roadmap.

Engagement models and program structure

We keep our engagement models transparent so you understand scope, responsibilities and budget at each phase of your digital transformation program.

Discovery & roadmap engagement

3–6 weeks

A structured engagement to map processes, audit systems and define a practical digital transformation roadmap with prioritised initiatives.

Best for
Organisations starting their digital transformation journey or rebooting a stalled initiative.

₹2L–₹5L (USD 3–7K), depending on number of processes and locations.

Deliverables: Discovery findings, process maps, future-state design, roadmap and high-level estimates.

Pilot project

8–12+ weeks

A focused build of one high-impact solution – such as an internal tool, portal or integration – to prove value and refine the wider program.

Best for
Teams that have a clear priority area and want a working reference implementation before scaling.
Typical budget
₹6L–₹18L (USD 8–25K), based on scope and integrations.

Deliverables: Production-ready pilot with staging/production environments, training and rollout plan.

Multi-phase transformation program

6–18 months

Why QalbIT for your Digital Transformation

Digital transformation is not just about new software. It is about changing how work happens day to day. QalbIT combines product thinking, operations understanding and senior engineering so your transformation program stays grounded, adoptable and maintainable.

Operations and product thinking together

We speak both business and technical language and design solutions around real-world constraints, not idealised process diagrams.

  • We involve stakeholders from operations, finance and IT early in discovery and design.
  • We measure success with adoption, cycle times and data quality – not just features delivered.

Phased roadmap instead of big-bang projects

We break large initiatives into pilots and waves so you can validate impact, manage risk and adjust scope as you learn.

  • Each phase has clear objectives, metrics and go/no-go gates.
  • We prioritise initiatives based on value, complexity and organisational readiness.

Respect for legacy systems and people

We modernise systems thoughtfully, keeping what works and replacing what truly blocks progress.

  • We design integrations and migration paths that minimise disruption.
  • We involve internal IT and power users so knowledge is preserved and extended.

Transparent delivery and governance

You get clear visibility into scope, progress and risks through shared tools, demos and structured communication.

  • Regular demos, status updates and steering sessions with decision-makers.
  • Shared backlog and documentation, with access to code, environments and metrics.

Security, NDAs and long-term partnership

We treat your data, processes and roadmap as confidential and design systems for the long term, not just the launch.

  • NDAs, IP clauses and access controls aligned with your policies.
  • Option to retain QalbIT as a long-term product and engineering partner beyond the first program.
