What We Build

Bespoke Engineering

Custom Systems

Purpose-built software architected for your specific workflows. From concept to deployment, we engineer systems that scale with precision and adapt to your evolving needs.

Custom CRMs

Relationship management platforms designed around how your business actually works. No generic templates—every feature, every workflow, every integration built specifically for you.

Integrations

Seamless connections between your existing tools and new systems. We build the bridges that make disparate platforms work as one unified, efficient ecosystem.

Built with precision.
Designed with intent.
Engineered to last.

We don't build software for the sake of building software. Every system we create is purpose-driven, architecturally sound, and crafted to solve real business challenges.

Our approach combines technical rigor with thoughtful design. The result: systems that don't just work today, but scale, adapt, and endure for years to come.

"Good software feels inevitable."

About Formist

Engineering Philosophy

We believe exceptional software sits at the intersection of technical excellence and intentional design. Every system we build starts with a deep understanding of your business needs and ends with code that's as maintainable as it is powerful.

Our team brings decades of experience across system architecture, frontend engineering, API design, and data infrastructure. But more than technical skill, we bring a philosophy: build less, build better, build to last.

const retry = (fn, times = 3) => {...}

Resilience patterns built into every layer.

We're not a digital agency. We're not a software factory. We're a small studio of engineers who care deeply about craft, precision, and the long-term success of the systems we create.
