A decade-old monolithic e-commerce platform slowed to a crawl and regularly fell over during seasonal campaigns, with pages taking many seconds to load and a third of checkouts abandoned. We re-engineered it to handle an order of magnitude more concurrent shoppers.
Every peak campaign was a gamble: the platform could not scale horizontally, caching was minimal, and the checkout shared a database with everything else. Marketing had to throttle campaigns to what the site could survive, and the cost of every outage was measured in lost weekend revenue.

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.
