A fast-growing payments company was hitting database timeouts at a few hundred thousand transactions a day, with engineers spending most of their time firefighting infrastructure. We re-architected the platform for multi-region resilience and let the team get back to building product.
The original architecture had served the startup well but could not take the load its growth now demanded. There was no multi-region failover, little observability, and every incident pulled engineers away from features. The next funding round depended on demonstrating the platform could scale safely.

Local government NHZ Global supplied and customised a mobile device management platform that lets a London borough council's IT team lock down, configure and support frontline Android devices from one console — later licensed to a second borough.
Local government / passenger transport Councils run hundreds of daily home-to-school journeys for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Sendtra gives the transport office one place to plan routes, allocate drivers and passenger assistants, and see every journey happening — with a driver app that replaces paper run sheets.
Trading & distribution Al Shahama Trading replaced spreadsheets and WhatsApp threads with a CRM built around the way their sales team actually works — from first enquiry to quotation to order — hosted and supported by NHZ Global on a monthly plan.
