Aardvark Game Studios approached Arc2 to redesign and develop their website to better showcase their games and improve user engagement.

The requirement: a super-fast, responsive site delivered quickly and affordably, without relying on a complex CMS that would require training, support, or security updates.

Arc2 proposed an AI-assisted static site generation approach, enabling the site to consume editable user data and regenerate statically on content change — resulting in fast load times and simple updates. We worked closely with Aardvark to understand their brand and vision, producing a sleek, modern site that highlighted their games and improved user engagement.

We also helped the studio plan and design a new architecture and stack for their broader digital product line — enabling them to deliver cutting-edge work quickly and consistently, helping to shape standout products in their emerging industry.

The key was balancing speed, budget, and maintainability. The result exceeded expectations — and we use the same approach on our own site: fast, secure, low-maintenance web delivery at an affordable cost.

This notary firm wanted a workflow management app to improve efficiency and create a product they could resell within their industry.

Arc2 led the project — defining requirements, designing the architecture, and delivering the app.

The result is a comprehensive mobile platform that allows notaries to manage appointments, clients, quotes, invoices, and documents with ease. It’s built to comply with strict legalisation rules and includes features like document management, scheduling, invoicing, and client tracking.

Arc2 also guided the organisation through change management, as they had no prior experience with digital product development. We stepped in as product owner, ensuring momentum and clarity in decision-making where internal capacity was limited.

Sportch is a competition management app for Web, Android, and iOS.

Arc2’s fractional C-suite services were enlisted to steer technical strategy across the company.

The app infrastructure was modernised and secured, with a focus on data security, redundancy, performance, and cost. Improvements included a robust CI/CD pipeline, AI-assisted code analysis, a codebase refactor, and a redesigned web server architecture.

The app had suffered delays and instability from developer churn and tech debt. Arc2 overhauled the architecture, stabilised the platform, and successfully brought version 2.0 to market.

Skills Now is a full-featured SaaS platform that supports corporate learning, recruitment, and employee development. This triumvirate of features is its differentiation in the market.

Arc2 was brought in to lead an underperforming development team. The project was late, over budget, and lacked clear direction.

Through workshops and consultations, Arc2 identified core issues and implemented a structured dev process, architecture, and DevOps pipeline. This included defining milestones, setting up code review workflows, agile adoption, a centralised CI/CD pipeline, and a shared UI library to ensure platform consistency.

Fidelity International needed to overhaul their publishing systems and enlisted Arc2 for our deep expertise in CMS and workflow systems.

The project aimed to replace their costly dependency on the OpenText platform by building a modern, scalable alternative using Django and DjangoCMS on the Divio cloud platform.

Arc2 brought industry-specific insight from FinTech and retirement funds to align the CMS architecture with business goals. We sourced and managed a global dev team, coordinated with business stakeholders, validated UX and tech decisions with the DjangoCMS team, and oversaw code quality and delivery.

An outcome of this work was that Arc2 contributed improvements and features back to the open-source DjangoCMS project — creating a viable, open alternative to OpenText for the broader community.

The result: a robust CMS architecture with complex workflows, multi-language support, and high traffic resilience — achieving the goal of reducing reliance on legacy systems.

Audi needed a portal for customers to interact with CRM data tied to their SAP supply chain system.

Our strong track record in system integration and delivery under pressure led Ogilvy & Mather to bring us in to help meet Audi’s goals.

Arc2 joined in a Technical PM role — overseeing integration across web and mobile teams, both in-house and third-party. We managed repos and deployment strategies to ensure smooth collaboration and seamless code merges.

We also handled all social integration (Facebook App, Twitter, YouTube) and built a mobile site to integrate with back-end systems.

Arc2 was commissioned to build a multi-layered web application that provides guidance and information to Sanlam pension and provident fund members, helping them make informed investment decisions.

The tool integrates with Sanlam’s broader IT infrastructure via web services, delivering a seamless experience with calculators and tools to assess and improve investment status. It also enables users to make changes to their investments directly — such as switching funds or annuity types — and includes built-in live chat support.

Arc2’s business workflow analysis was crucial to shaping the project. We worked closely with the client to define requirements and guide them toward a compelling user experience through estimation and agile development processes.

The platform was subjected to rigorous security testing and site hardening, ensuring enterprise-grade reliability and data protection.

We also curated and supported an industry demo — specifying and configuring equipment, preparing a live version of the platform for hands-on use, and staffing the event to assist attendees in exploring the system.

The successful launch of Sanlam’s first digital product set the stage for its ongoing evolution and long-term sustainability.

Atlas Fine Wines, a five-star rated merchant and broker, needed a platform for clients to manage wine collections and access premier market data.

The app includes a custom CMS enabling tight marketing turnarounds and seasonal campaigns.

It also integrates Livex XML feeds and provides document and content management tools tailored to high-end wine investors.
