How a project starts.

  1. 1

    Talk

    A 30-minute call about what you need, your timeline and your budget.

  2. 2

    Plan

    A written proposal: scope and roadmap for a build, team shape and profiles for a team, or a demo and setup plan for a product.

  3. 3

    Deliver

    Regular demos and a clear status update, so you always know where things stand.

  4. 4

    Run

    Maintenance, support and improvements after launch.

Why companies choose us.

  • One partner for building, staffing and running software. You don't need three vendors.

  • We run our own products. We deal with the same uptime, data and support problems you do.

  • Registered in the UAE, Pakistan and Malaysia. A local contract for GCC clients, with delivery teams in Pakistan.

  • Working on Gulf hours. Our teams overlap your working day for real conversations, not overnight handovers.

  • Founder-led. Our CEO is involved in every client relationship.

The people behind the work.

Abdul Majid Shaikh, Founder and CEO of Orbits Umbrella

Founder & CEO

“I've been building software since 2008, including four years as a CTO answerable for every technical decision. I started Orbits Umbrella so that clients work with people who have done the job themselves, not a chain of account managers. I'm involved in every engagement we take on, and you'll know exactly who is building your product.”

Questions.

How is the cost worked out?

It depends on scope. We work it out after a 30-minute scoping call, and you get it in a written proposal. We don't publish rates.

Who owns the code?

You do. IP is assigned to you on payment and the work stays in your repositories.

Will you sign an NDA?

Yes, before any access to your systems or data.

What if an engineer isn't the right fit?

Tell us within the first two weeks and the engagement ends with no fee. After that, we replace the engineer within ten working days.

What are your working hours?

Monday to Friday, 10:00–19:00 Gulf Standard Time (GMT+4). Support replies: urgent issues within 4 working hours, standard issues within 1 working day, low-priority issues within 2 working days.

Can I interview the engineers?

Yes, every one. You interview every engineer before they join, and you see two profiles for each role.

Working hours: Monday to Friday, 10:00–19:00 Gulf Standard Time (GMT+4)

Tell us what you're working on.

Whether it's a new build, extra engineers or a product demo, we'll reply the same working day.
