The Lunar Engine

From one well-built workflow to a connected platform.

Most engagements start focused. When several workflows need the same people, data, and systems, we build them on shared foundations instead.

Running on

  • PostgreSQLdata foundations
  • MySQLexisting systems

Automation and integrations

We connect the systems you already run and automate the hand-offs between them.

  • Event-driven and scheduled workflows
  • Jira workflow design and automation
  • API and webhook integrations

Running on

  • Node.jsintegration workers
  • Pythondata pipelines
  • Jiraworkflow automation

What every system we build is made of.

  • Tailored systems

    Built around your processes, not a template you have to work around.

  • Data stewardship

    Least-privilege access, clear retention, and sensitive data handled deliberately.

  • Long-term maintainability

    Readable code, documentation, and a support path after launch.

  • Works with your teams

    We collaborate with your IT, security, and process owners from day one.

Running on

  • TypeScripttype-safe core

HR operations

Onboarding, approvals, and employee records that move without chasing email threads.

  • Onboarding and offboarding
  • Multi-step approvals
  • Employee records and document requests
  • Policy acknowledgements

Running on

  • React NativeiOS and Android apps
  • SQLiteoffline device data

Legal operations

Structured intake, reviews, and matter workflows so legal work is visible and routed correctly.

  • Request intake and triage
  • Contract and document review cycles
  • Matter tracking
  • Clause and template management

Running on

  • Pythondocument processing
  • Jiramatter workflows

Management intelligence

Dashboards and reporting built on controlled access to the data leaders actually need.

  • Operational dashboards
  • Scheduled and on-demand reporting
  • Cross-system data consolidation
  • Role-based data access

Compliance requirements depend on your jurisdiction, industry, and project scope. We design with your legal and security teams to meet the obligations you identify; we do not claim certifications or legal guarantees.

Need a website? That world is WorldOnOrbit.

The planet turning behind the engine is WorldOnOrbit, the web development company that shares our orbit. We build the systems that run the work; WorldOnOrbit builds websites and web products.

Select the globe to visit.

Illustration: a clockwork moon circled by metal orbital rings with geared pinions and rail carriages, with a planet turning in the distance. As the page scrolls, a broken ring rebuilds itself, green lightning strikes the moon, and the moon opens on a glowing core.

Close to your stakeholders. Careful with your systems.

We work alongside your process owners, IT, and security teams, and we integrate with the tools you already run instead of replacing them by default.

  1. Discovery and scope

    We map the workflow as it really runs today, then agree on what to build first.

    • Stakeholder interviews
    • Process and data mapping
    • Prioritized scope and estimate

    With Process owners, Department heads

  2. Architecture and security review

    We design around your existing systems, identity model, and data-handling rules.

    • System and integration design
    • Access model and data classification
    • Review with your IT and security teams

    With IT, Security, Data owners

  3. Iterative build and integration

    We ship in short cycles you can see and test, connected to real systems early.

    • Regular working demos
    • Integration with existing tools
    • Testing with real users

    With End users, Process owners, IT

  4. Rollout and support

    We plan the launch with your teams and stay on to keep the system healthy.

    • Phased rollout and training
    • Monitoring and fixes
    • Roadmap for the next iteration

    With All teams involved, Support owners

A deliberate stack, chosen for longevity.

Application

Type-safe application code across services, web, and mobile.

Where we use it

This website itself runs on Next.js and React and Three.js, with a static image fallback for the 3D scene.

What this work looks like in practice.

Start with a product our team built, live today. The examples after it are illustrative: they show how we approach common workflows, not results from named clients.

  • Example solution

    Coordinated employee onboarding

    Problem
    Onboarding depends on HR, IT, facilities, and the hiring manager each completing their part, tracked across email and spreadsheets. Steps are missed and nobody has a single view of a new starter's status.
    Approach
    Map the onboarding sequence with each department and agree ownership of every step
    Outcome
    Each department works in the tool it already uses, HR sees one status per starter, and personal data stays visible only to the people who need it.
  • Illustrative scenario

    Problem
    Legal receives requests through email, chat, and hallway conversations. Requests arrive without context, are hard to prioritize, and the business cannot see what is in progress.
    Approach
    Design an intake form with request types that capture the right information up front
    Outcome
    Legal starts each request with the information it needs, the business can check status on its own, and the team has a clear picture of demand.
  • Example solution

    Consolidated management reporting

    Problem
    Monthly reporting means exporting data from several systems into spreadsheets by hand. Figures differ between departments, and preparation takes days.
    Approach
    Agree the definitions of each key figure with finance and operations
    Outcome
    Leaders review the same figures from the same source, and reporting effort shifts from assembling data to discussing it.

Scoped to the work, not to a package.
