Software Rescue

Your software is failing. We fix that.

Previous developer disappeared. The app is slow. Bugs multiply with every deploy. You're losing customers and money. We've rescued dozens of projects in exactly this situation — and we start with a free technical audit.

Sound Familiar?

We've seen this before.

Developer Disappeared

Your freelancer or agency vanished mid-project. You have a half-built product, maybe access to the code, maybe not. We take over, assess what's salvageable, and get you to launch.

Everything Is Slow

Pages take 5+ seconds to load. Database queries timeout. Users complain constantly. We diagnose the bottlenecks and fix them — usually within days, not weeks.

Bugs Everywhere

Every new feature breaks two old ones. The team is afraid to deploy. Regression testing is manual or nonexistent. We stabilize the codebase and add the safety nets it needs.

Can't Add Features

Simple changes take weeks because the code is tangled, undocumented, and fragile. We refactor the critical paths so your team can move fast again.

Security Concerns

Outdated dependencies, exposed credentials, no input validation, broken authentication. We audit, prioritize, and fix the vulnerabilities that put your business at risk.

Scaling Problems

The app worked fine with 100 users. At 10,000 it falls apart. We redesign the architecture, optimize the database, and add the infrastructure to handle growth.

Our Rescue Process

From chaos to confidence.

01

Free Audit

We review your codebase, infrastructure, and architecture. You get a written report with specific findings, severity ratings, and recommendations — whether you hire us or not.

2–3 days
02

Triage

We prioritize: critical issues (security, data loss risk) first, then performance, then stability. You approve the plan before we touch anything.

1 day
03

Stabilize

We fix the urgent problems. Add monitoring and error tracking. Set up proper CI/CD so deployments are safe. You stop losing customers immediately.

3–5 days
04

Strengthen

With the fires out, we address the root causes. Refactor critical code, add tests, upgrade dependencies, and document everything for your next team.

1–2 weeks
Frequently Asked

How much does it cost to rescue a software project?

It depends on the severity. Performance fixes and stabilization typically cost ₹2L–₹5L. Major refactoring or partial rebuilds run ₹5L–₹15L. Full rebuilds range from ₹10L–₹25L+. We start with a free technical audit so you know exactly what you're dealing with before committing any budget.

How long does a software rescue take?

Critical fixes (security, performance, stability) can be done in 3–5 days. Full stabilization with testing and monitoring takes 1–2 weeks. Major refactoring or partial rebuilds take 2–4 weeks. We prioritize by business impact — the things losing you customers get fixed first.

My developer disappeared — can you take over?

Yes. This is one of our most common scenarios. We'll help you secure access to all code, hosting, and domains. Then we audit what exists, assess what's salvageable, and create a plan to get you back on track. Most developer-disappeared projects can be stabilized within 1–2 weeks.

Should I fix my existing software or rebuild it?

It depends on the foundation. If the core architecture is sound and problems are localized, fixing is usually 3–5x cheaper than rebuilding. If the technology is obsolete, security is fundamentally broken, or the architecture can't support your growth, rebuilding is the better investment. Our free audit gives you a data-driven answer.

Is the technical audit really free?

Yes. We review your codebase, identify issues, and give you a written report with findings and recommendations — whether you hire us or not. It takes us 2–3 days and costs you nothing. We do this because it builds trust and because good audits lead to better projects.
