AI-native company

Forward-Deployed Engineering

The business apps your team needs,
built and integrated for you.

Q: How long does custom software development take?

OpenXcell lists 4–8 weeks for Idea to Live builds and 4–12 weeks for custom internal tools. A usable first increment is different from a full production launch. The delivery plan depends on scope, integrations, access to data, testing, and deployment requirements.

Q: Do we own the software and code?

You own the custom code delivered for your project in your repositories and accounts. Third-party SaaS, low-code platforms, and open-source dependencies retain their own licenses and terms. Hosting, subscriptions, and export limits depend on the chosen stack.

Q: Can OpenXcell integrate our existing SaaS tools?

OpenXcell builds interfaces, APIs, and integration layers around existing SaaS tools. Feasibility depends on each vendor’s API coverage, subscription tier, permissions, and security requirements. A replacement or migration is not required for every integration.

Q: What is a forward-deployed engineer?

A forward-deployed engineer works directly with a customer’s team to understand workflows, build solutions, and integrate them into existing systems. At OpenXcell, an embedded FDE provides ongoing engineering capacity backed by senior architectural oversight.

OpenXcell builds the business apps your team needs — custom portals, internal CRMs, ops dashboards, KYC workflows, support cockpits — and integrates them with the SaaS you already use. Forward-deployed engineers, working software in weeks.

WHAT WE DO

What OpenXcell actually does.

OpenXcell develops custom business applications and SaaS integrations for mid-market teams. A forward-deployed engineer embeds with your team to build portals, internal CRMs, dashboards, and workflow tools connected to your existing systems.

A senior human engineer

Not an AI agent. Not an offshore ticket-taker. A senior builder who sits with your team, learns your workflows, and is accountable for the result.

+0 Workforce

Augmented by AI + the right tools

They use AI coding and no-code builders (Softr, Lovable, Retool, and more) to move at a speed a traditional dev shop can’t match.

Built on top of your SaaS

We don’t replace your stack. We build the missing app on top of the tools and data you already have, and connect everything.

WHY NOW

Why custom software finally makes sense for mid-market

For years, custom software meant a 4-person team for 6 months and a $300K bill. So mid-market companies just lived with the friction. Three things changed that.

Vibe coding

AI-augmented engineers ship in weeks what used to take quarters. Custom software finally fits a mid-market budget.

Headless SaaS

Many SaaS tools offer APIs. Available data and actions depend on the vendor, plan, and permissions. We build around the access your systems provide.

Forward-deployed engineers

No specs and handoffs. Our engineers embed with your team and ship working software from week one.

Dharmesh Shah

Co-Founder & CTO, HubSpot

"Every B2B software company is (or should be) building a 'headless' version of their product. But 'headless' doesn't mean 'brainless.'"

Dharmesh Shah

Co-Founder & CTO, HubSpot

HOW IT WORKS

No prompting,
No debugging. Just results.

Everything is handled by our forward-deployed engineers, augmented by AI. You bring the problem — we bring the working software.

Discover & Assess

We embed with your team, map the SaaS tools you already use, and find where the friction is. You end week one with a clear build plan and a fixed-price quote.

Week 1-3

Your FDE builds the app — picking the right tool for the job — and wires it into your existing stack and proprietary data. You see working software in week one, refined every day after.

Deploy & Own

We ship to production, hand over full ownership, and document everything. The app lives in your accounts. Extend it with us on retainer, or run it yourself.

WHAT WE COMMIT TO

Three commitments, No fine print.

Every engagement, every customer, every time.

user

Working software in weeks.

Week one focuses on a usable first increment, not a complete production launch. The full build follows the agreed scope, integrations, testing, and deployment plan.

Clear pricing for each engagement.

Defined builds use a fixed-price quote. Embedded engineering uses a monthly retainer at a fixed FDE rate. Scope and delivery expectations are agreed for the engagement.

Your custom code and accounts.

Full code ownership, No
lock-in.

Custom code is delivered in your repositories and accounts. Third-party SaaS and low-code platforms remain subject to their own licenses, subscriptions, and export limits.
