# Software Development Company in Business Bay > Custom software, CRM integrations and automation for Business Bay brokerages, consultancies and growing SMEs, from a founder-led Dubai studio. Source: https://authect.com/business-bay Authect builds internal systems, client portals and automation for companies in Business Bay: real-estate brokerages, consultancies, agencies and fast-growing SMEs. You work directly with the founders who build your project. ## Why software matters so much in Business Bay Business Bay packs a remarkable number of companies into the towers along the Dubai Canal, and many of them win business the same way: **a lead arrives, someone has to answer it first, and the deal is won or lost on speed and follow-up**. The software problem behind that is rarely exotic. It is enquiries arriving in five places, listings updated by hand and a pipeline that lives in one person's phone. Companies here also grow in jumps. A brokerage adds a new team of agents, a consultancy wins a large client, an SME opens a second branch, and the spreadsheet that worked last year stops working overnight. What they need is **one system that fits how the team already sells and delivers**, with clean data an owner can trust when making decisions. We build that system with you. A founder joins the first conversation, **a senior engineer leads the build**, and everything we make, from code to designs, belongs to your company from day one. ## Who we build for in Business Bay - **Real estate, Brokerages and developers**: Listing sites connected to your CRM and portal feeds, instant lead routing to the right agent, and reporting on which sources actually turn into viewings and deals. - **Professional services, Consultancies and agencies**: Client portals, proposal and onboarding flows, time and project tracking, and automation that removes the copy and paste between your tools. - **Growing SMEs, Companies outgrowing spreadsheets**: One internal system for orders, staff, approvals or stock, designed around the way your team works rather than squeezed into a generic template. ## What we build for Business Bay companies Most Business Bay projects are about turning scattered tools into one dependable system. These are the services that do it. - [Enterprise applications](https://authect.com/services/enterprise-applications): Custom CRMs, back-office platforms and approval workflows that match your sales and delivery process instead of forcing you to change it. - [Intelligent automation](https://authect.com/services/intelligent-automation): Automatic lead assignment, reminders, document generation and hand-offs between systems, so the team spends its time with clients instead of on admin. - [Business intelligence](https://authect.com/services/business-intelligence): Dashboards that show pipeline, revenue and team performance from live data, so Monday's meeting starts from facts rather than a hastily built spreadsheet. - [Application development](https://authect.com/services/application-development): Client-facing portals and mobile apps where customers can follow their deal, sign documents or raise requests without an email chain. - [Customer experience](https://authect.com/services/customer-experience): Mapping how clients find you, enquire and buy, then fixing the slow or confusing steps that quietly lose deals to faster competitors. ## Working with us from Business Bay - **We work in Business Bay too**: The team works in Business Bay itself and shares your working day. We start online, and once a project is under way we can meet at your office for a workshop or a review. - **Contracts from a Dubai entity**: Agreements and invoices are issued by Authect - FZCO, registered in Dubai Silicon Oasis under IFZA trade licence 70505, which keeps procurement simple for UAE companies. - **Built around your working day**: We work on Gulf Standard Time, so questions from your agents or managers are answered during your own working hours, with overlap for any head office in Europe. ## Business Bay: common questions ### Can you connect our website to our CRM and the property portals? Yes, where the CRM or portal offers an API or a feed. Listings can sync automatically and every enquiry lands in one place with its source attached. We check your specific systems with you before agreeing the scope. ### Can leads be routed to agents automatically? Yes. Leads can be assigned by rules such as area, language, budget or a simple rotation, with an alert to the agent and an automatic reassignment if nobody responds in the time you set. ### Should we buy an off-the-shelf CRM or build our own? If an existing product fits your process, use it, and we will tell you so. Custom software makes sense when your process is what sets you apart, or when you are paying for several tools that still do not talk to each other. ### Will our team actually use the new system? That is the point of building it around them. We involve the people who will use it from the start, test early versions with them and keep the interface as simple as the work allows. ## About Authect - Authect is a founder-led software development studio: clients talk to the founders who build their project, never a salesperson. - Every project is led by a senior engineer.
