# Software development in Detroit, MI

> If you run a parts supplier in Troy or Auburn Hills, a captive finance arm downtown or a mobility startup at Michigan Central in Corktown, your data estate was probably designed for a different decade and your AI question arrives on top of it. Automotive finance is where most of our published work started, so that inheritance is familiar ground.

## Why Detroit work is our work

The software your business needs keeps slipping down the roadmap because every engineer you have is keeping an older system alive. We build the replacement beside the old one, integrated with the ERP and EDI it depends on, and hand it over with tests your team can keep running. Detroit's tier-one and tier-two suppliers in Southfield and Livonia live with that, as do the auto lenders and logistics firms around them.

## Dynamics 365 consultants in Detroit

Tier 2 and tier 3 automotive suppliers around Detroit run Dynamics 365 Business Central for production orders, EDI with the OEMs and lot traceability. We implement and extend it, connect it to shop-floor and EDI systems, and automate the release and shipping steps with Power Automate.

## Work a buyer here would recognise

Auto lenders and captive finance arms run processes that can't stop halfway, and repossession is a legally sensitive one. This study shows that process rebuilt on Temporal, so every step is recoverable and the full history of what happened is there afterwards.

## A supplier is audited against contracts it didn't write

Detroit's carmakers sit within a short drive of each other, GM downtown, Ford in Dearborn and Stellantis in Auburn Hills, and the suppliers in Troy, Southfield and Livonia sell to all three and often to the German makers too. Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes-Benz ask for a TISAX assessment before they share prototype or project data, so a tier-two supplier is audited against a standard it never negotiated.

## Questions

### Can you meet OEM cybersecurity requirements as a supplier?

We build to what those clauses require, which is controlled access, a demonstrable change history and a software supply chain you can account for. Automotive finance and mobility data is the largest concentration in our published work, so the requirements are familiar rather than novel.

### Do you have an office in Detroit?

The office is in Gilbert, Arizona, with teams in Amsterdam, Dnipro and Hyderabad. Delivery is remote or hybrid, and we travel for discovery, workshops and the opening weeks of a build.

## What software development covers

### Web applications

Applications built to be changed safely years after the original team has moved on. That means tests that mean something, seams where the business logic can move, and a deployment nobody is afraid of.

### Mobile applications

iOS and Android, built as products rather than as ports. The maintenance story is decided at the start, while it is still cheap.

### APIs and integration

The seams between systems, done once and properly. Most of the expensive failures we are called into are integration failures wearing another name.

### Data platforms

The layer underneath the application, on Databricks, Azure, AWS or Google Cloud. If the reporting and the application disagree, the platform is the reason.

### Modernisation of what exists

Often the work arrives as something already built that has become hard to change. We would rather read it and tell you honestly whether it is worth keeping than sell a rewrite you may not need.

### Durable, auditable workflows

Processes that take days, call several systems and must never half-complete. Getting that right is a different discipline from getting a request handler right, and it is where we spend most of our time.

## Working with us from Arizona

Arizona does not observe daylight saving, so we are two hours behind you from November to March and three hours behind from March to November. That leaves most of your afternoon overlapping our morning, which is usually enough.

Most delivery is remote or hybrid. We travel for discovery, workshops and the opening weeks of a build.
