Others rewrite.
We recover.

Adopting brownfield apps so tech leaders can regain control, get clarity, and move their apps forward without unnecessary rebuilds.

Not every app starts with a :[clean] slate

We’re a team of seasoned developers, architects, and problem-solvers who genuinely love untangling complex tech.

Brownfield is our comfort zone. We don't mind jumping into the messy middle, where code’s already been written, things aren’t perfect, and clarity is hard to come by. That’s exactly where we do our best work.

We're not here to push shiny rebuilds for the sake of it. We take a pragmatic, grounded approach to helping teams make the most of what they’ve got, with smart fixes, clean strategy, and honest conversations.

If it’s broken, we’ll figure it out. If it's unclear, we'll find clarity together and if it’s worth rebuilding, we’ll help you do it right.

The {Indiespring} Way

We’ve been down this road many times, guiding tech leaders, founders, and teams who felt stuck, frustrated, or overwhelmed by the state of their apps. No matter how messy it looks right now, there can be a clear path forward.

Here's how we help you find it:


Start with Clarity

First, we listen. Before any code is touched, we start with an App Audit, a full health check of your app's reality, not just what’s on the surface. We map out what’s broken, what’s working, and what’s worth saving. You’ll get a no-nonsense, no-jargon report giving you clarity, confidence, and options, often for the first time in a long time.

Because the worst feeling in tech leadership is not knowing. We fix that, first.


Choose the Right Pathway

With real clarity in hand, you don’t have to guess your next move. Together, we’ll decide which journey your app needs to take:

Maintain: Your app still delivers value, it just needs a steady hand to keep it reliable while you plan ahead.
Evolve: There’s good potential under the surface, we’ll reimagine features, refactor messy code, and help your app grow smarter, faster, and more stable.
Rebuild: Sometimes the foundation isn’t fit for the future. If that’s the case, we’ll guide you through a clean, focused rebuild that honours what’s working and fixes what’s not.

No scare tactics. No upselling. Just the right path for where you are and where you want to go.


Follow a Trusted Process

Whatever the path, our method stays the same. It's how we’ve helped dozens of businesses recover control and build real momentum:

We work with teams in all kinds of situations but these are the three we see most often.

When everything’s on fire

Live issues. Missed deadlines. A past partner who’s vanished. If your app’s breaking and trust is low, we move fast to fix, stabilise, and get you breathing again.

When you’ve inherited the chaos

You didn’t build it, but now it’s your problem. We help you untangle the unknowns, make sense of the codebase, and finally get a plan in place.

When the momentum is missing

The team has lost direction. The roadmap is out of date. We’ll bring clarity, strategy, and help you turn legacy into leverage.

Let us look under the hood and decide if a Rebuild is the right path ->
building trust, :[delivering] value

Indiespring is a UK-based team of app specialists with over 15 years of experience in the field. We’re not a dev factory, we’re a hands-on, sleeves-rolled-up partner for teams who care about doing things right.

Why people stick with us:

  • Real conversations, no fluff
  • Stable, senior team (no outsourcing roulette)
  • Fast, transparent delivery cycles
  • Long-term support you don’t have to babysit

where we do our
{best} work

Some industries come with a unique mix of complexity, legacy systems, and constant pressure to keep things moving.

We know, we’ve been there too.

Over the years, we’ve worked with businesses where reliability isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s non-negotiable. Where delays cost money, bugs cause chaos, and outdated code can’t just be ignored. These environments demand a partner who can pick things up fast, make sense of the mess, and deliver without disrupting the flow of business.

That’s where we come in.

Whether it’s a logistics platform managing thousands of daily journeys, or a customer-facing tourism app with seasonal spikes and no room for error, we specialise in stepping into high-stakes systems and making them stronger. We understand how to modernise without pressing reset, how to fix what’s critical without throwing away what’s working, and how to move forward with clarity, not chaos.

We’ve built trust with product teams, CTOs, and non-technical leaders alike by doing one thing well: turning ageing or underperforming apps into stable, scalable, and valuable assets quickly and without unnecessary rebuilds.

These sectors are just two examples where we’ve made a big impact and where we’re ready to do the same for you.

Logistics & Transport

Whether it’s a customer-facing app for journey planning or a behind-the-scenes platform tracking vehicles, deliveries, or fleet data we know the stakes are high. There’s no room for downtime, and speed matters.

We help transport and logistics teams stabilise old code, improve user experience, and roll out features faster without starting from scratch.

Highlights:
  • Fleet tracking & mobile workforce apps
  • Real-time performance dashboards
  • UX improvement on legacy systems
  • Case study: MegaBus
Leisure & Tourism

Bookings, itineraries, ticketing, seasonal surges, apps in this space do a lot, often built on tech that’s evolved over time (and not always in a straight line).

We bring clarity and performance to tourism apps that need to scale, integrate, or simply work better. Think less firefighting, more future planning.

Highlights:
  • Customer journey improvements
  • Integration with booking and payment systems
  • Feature delivery on live apps
  • Case study: Big Bus Tours
