We help private companies without a technical team build business-critical Ruby on Rails applications (or rescue the app they’ve already got).
Did your Ruby on Rails developer ditch you?
Our Ruby on Rails specialists are really good at understanding applications that other developers created. They follow a comprehensive process for support and maintenance that will serve you in two specific ways:
1) take back control of your application and
2) ensure it serves your business effectively.
We’ll have your app back on rails in no time. Pun intended.
We’ve been working with Ruby on Rails since 2006 and specialise in rescuing applications that aren’t aren’t up to date or haven’t been proactively maintained.
Whether your app needs a bit of TLC, ongoing support, or a complete overhaul, we’ll get it back to where it should be. We’ll transform it from a liability into an asset with excellent ROI.
Private, small to medium-sized companies with £1m+ in revenue come to Foxsoft when they need technical partners and a process they can count on.
At the start of the conversation, they say things like this:
Out of Date – “We rely on our application but don’t have in-house staff with the technical expertise needed to maintain and improve it.”
Trapped – “Our current developer makes everything hard. Availability, timelines, communication, pricing—it’s all frustrating. We feel trapped.”
Backlog – “The issues with our app and requests for new features and functionality are piling up. We can’t keep ignoring them.”
Limbo – ”The original developer is no longer available. Development has been hit or miss ever since. We have no control over our own software.
Opportunity – “We need an app to make certain tasks and processes easier. Automation would help to minimise staffing costs.”
Andy cares. It’s not just about numbers. He wants to have a relationship with us and deliver to our needs. They’re not greedy. Foxsoft is priced in a way that is appropriate, and yet their model is ‘You can leave us at any point.’ There’s the documentation and everything we’d need to go and use another developer.” You don’t get that in business often. We do trust them and we’re happy to continue to work with them.
I’d just like to say how much of a difference the online system has made to our business – we’d have been lost without it this year. As you know, Toni was out of action for several months, and I was stretched really thinly. I would not have managed to keep the business running if I’d been trying to do it using our old systems. The online system you developed streamlines things so much, I was able to keep on top of things without working myself into the ground.

Any worthwhile development project has the potential for high reward but also a certain amount of risk. As the owner or executive responsible for acquiring technology it can be a scary and daunting prospect, especially if you’re doing this for the first time.
Hiring the wrong development agency can be an expensive mistake wasting time, effort and money.
