DGTL Build
Product, Commerce & Enterprise Software Engineering
B2B platforms, composable commerce systems, and custom enterprise software, engineered alongside Secure, Data, and AI from sprint one. Headquartered in Quito, delivery teams distributed across the Americas. UTC-5 all year, an hour or less from your US East Coast team, bilingual from sprint one.
You have a validated product idea and paying customers waiting, but your engineering velocity tells a different story.
Your MVP took twice as long as planned. Your architecture choices from six months ago are already creating bottlenecks. Every new feature takes longer than the last because technical debt keeps compounding, and nobody on the team has time to address it because you're too busy shipping.
Meanwhile, your first enterprise prospect just asked about SOC 2 compliance, multi-tenancy isolation, and 99.9% uptime SLAs, and your infrastructure wasn't built with any of that in mind.
This is the trap most B2B companies fall into. The architecture that got you from zero to one can't get you from one to one hundred. And the longer you wait to fix it, the more expensive the rewrite becomes.
Better together
Hiring DGTL for one practice works. Here is why most engagements use more than one.
Build works closely with AI (embedding intelligent features into your product), Secure (SOC 2 controls running in parallel with development), Studio (UX/UI design that ships alongside engineering), and Data (analytics infrastructure integrated from day one). This is how a fintech client went from concept to 10,000 users in under six months, Build, AI, and Secure working as one team from the start.
How we staff Build
Every engagement lands the seniority your scope needs. No bait-and-switch between the sales call and the kickoff. No junior-heavy delivery teams behind a Principal on the deck.
12+ years
Principal Engineer
Owns system architecture, leads platform strategy, sets the code-review bar. Has shipped at least one multi-tenant B2B platform from MVP to enterprise scale.
6 to 10 years
Senior Engineer
Runs day-to-day implementation across frontend, backend, and infrastructure. Production-experienced in cloud-native stacks on AWS, GCP, or Vercel.
3 to 5 years
Mid Engineer
Ships features in tight sprint cycles, owns test coverage and performance budgets, mentored by the principal.
variable
Specialist
Deep expertise in one vertical: ERP implementation, composable commerce, or legacy modernization. Dropped in for the slice of the engagement that needs it.
DGTL Readiness Index
The Engineering dimension, before and after.
Build sprints move the Engineering dimension on the DGTL Readiness Index by rebuilding the parts of your platform that block scale. Deployment frequency, code quality, observability, and technical debt are the four signals we grade and improve in the first 90 days.
Day 1, typical pre-engagement
2.5 / 5
Day 90, after cross-practice work
4.0 / 5
Median delta across 90-day engagements: +1.5 points. Composite profile from discovery engagements with mid-market companies. See the full 8-dimension framework.
What we do
Every module ships with senior practice leads, clear deliverables, and measurable outcomes. Engagements combine the modules you need into one scoped program.
Web Application Development
Production-grade web apps built on Next.js, React, and TypeScript, from marketing sites to complex multi-tenant SaaS platforms.
Mobile Application Development
Native iOS and Android apps plus React Native and Flutter builds when a shared codebase fits the product roadmap.
API and Microservices
REST, GraphQL, and gRPC services with contract testing, versioning discipline, and clear ownership across internal teams.
Cloud Infrastructure
AWS, GCP, and Azure architecture using Terraform and Pulumi, with cost controls, observability, and multi-region patterns.
DevOps and CI/CD
GitHub Actions, GitLab, and ArgoCD pipelines that move code from commit to production in minutes, with rollback built in.
Quality Engineering
Test strategy, automated regression suites in Playwright and Cypress, load testing, and release gating so shipping stays fast and safe.
Performance Optimization
Frontend Core Web Vitals work and backend profiling to cut p95 latency, reduce infrastructure spend, and improve conversion.
Composable Commerce
Headless commerce builds on Shopify Hydrogen, Commercetools, BigCommerce, and Medusa for merchants who have outgrown monoliths.
ERP Implementation
NetSuite, SAP, and Odoo deployments and rescue engagements, with clean integrations into finance, supply chain, and HR systems.
Legacy Modernization
Incremental rewrites of older Java, .NET, and PHP systems using the strangler pattern so the business keeps running while the stack evolves.
Database and Data Modeling
Relational, document, and vector database design in Postgres, MongoDB, and pgvector, tuned for query patterns and future scale.
Third-party Integrations
Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, NetSuite, and ERP integrations built with idempotent workers, retry logic, and full audit trails.
Architecture Reviews
Independent assessments of existing systems with prioritized fixes, scaling plans, and hiring recommendations for your engineering org.
Platform Engineering
Internal developer platforms, golden paths, and Backstage portals that help product teams ship without waiting on infrastructure.
How it works
Technical Discovery
We analyze your business model, expected user load, integration requirements, compliance needs, and existing technical decisions. The output is a system blueprint and prioritized backlog, not a slide deck.
Architecture & Infrastructure
We provision cloud infrastructure using infrastructure-as-code, set up CI/CD pipelines, and configure environments. Security controls and monitoring are implemented here, not later.
Core Product Development
We build in iterative sprint cycles with weekly releases. Your team has visibility into every decision through shared repositories, async standups, and live staging environments.
Testing & Optimization
Automated test suites, performance benchmarking, load testing, and accessibility audits. We catch problems before your users do.
Scale Hardening
We optimize for uptime, reliability, and enterprise readiness. This includes multi-tenant isolation, rate limiting, data residency controls, and disaster recovery planning.
Engagement models
Three ways to buy Build engagements. The difference is what happens at the end.
Same team underneath all three. One MSA, one SOW per engagement. What changes is how long you commit, what flexes once work starts, and who sits on the team. We scope every engagement to what you’re building instead of dropping you into a published tier.
01Project | 02Retainer | 03Embedded Team | |
|---|---|---|---|
| At the end | ProjectIt ends. | RetainerIt keeps going. | Embedded TeamIt renews. |
| Ideal stage | ProjectPre-launch, MVP, redesign, audit, certification | RetainerGrowth phase, ongoing optimization, scaling | Embedded TeamScale phase, fractional executive leadership |

Not sure which one fits? Tell us what you’re working on and we’ll recommend the right model based on your goals, timeline, and budget.
Prefer a fixed scope? Enterprise Build is a productized engagement with a published scope and timeline. See Enterprise Build
We custom-scope every engagement. Most focused engagements start in the five figures, and multi-practice transformations scale into the six and seven figures. Retainers and embedded teams are priced monthly, based on seniority and hours.

What clients say
“DGTL rebuilt our backend in a way that actually made sense, and we shipped our first enterprise feature three weeks ahead of schedule.”
CTO, Fintech
Representative example. Roles and industries are shown; specific companies and individuals are not identified until signed releases are available.
Our stack
The 15 tools we reach for most. We use plenty of others when the engagement calls for them.
Quito HQ, delivery across the Americas
UTC-5 all year, an hour or less from your East Coast team in either season. Bilingual English and Spanish. No handoff at 5pm, and nothing waits overnight when the US clocks change in March and November.
Why this matters
The problem
Your engineering roadmap keeps slipping, technical debt is compounding, and your first enterprise prospect just asked about infrastructure you haven't built yet.
What we do about it
We architect and build your B2B platform with scalability, multi-tenancy, and security embedded from the first sprint, not retrofitted before a sales call.
What you get
You ship faster, reduce technical risk, and close enterprise deals without scrambling to rebuild what should have been built right the first time.
