TulipTech: custom software and managed services from Leicester

TulipTech is a technology company headquartered in Leicester (United Kingdom) founded in 2011. It began as a team of two and has grown to over ninety employees distributed across four countries: the United Kingdom, Bangladesh, India and the United Arab Emirates. The company presents itself as a technology partner that supports its clients throughout the entire software lifecycle: from planning and development to ongoing operation and support.

Its offering is structured in three phases — plan, build and run — which can be contracted separately, although most clients end up using all three. The company states that it maintains client relationships that last for years.

Consulting and planning services

In the planning phase, TulipTech offers artificial intelligence consulting, with implementation from the pilot phase through to production under ISO 27001 controls. It also moves AI prototypes into production environments and handles their operation. The company provides discovery and scoping services, and includes a free initial thirty-minute consultation to assess the project's suitability and timeline.

Software, web, mobile and streaming development

The build area covers custom software development, web development, mobile applications, streaming solutions, Odoo ERP and Microsoft solutions. The company states that delivery deadlines are committed to in writing. Among the projects cited are web development for Kerusso, with a 27% increase in sales and 50% more traffic; the OTT platform for The World Games, with web, iOS and Android applications delivered in three months; a cryptocurrency wallet for Moops; the Odoo ERP implementation for Stateside Distribution, which unified Shopify, eBay, TEMU and TikTok; and another Odoo ERP for Panaro, with 10,000 SKUs in a system compliant with United Arab Emirates regulations. E-commerce projects for Catered by Clink and Charnwood Supplies are also mentioned, along with a mobile application for Conected, a two-sided wellness marketplace, from concept to publication on both app stores in six months.

Managed infrastructure, security and support

The run phase includes hosting, monitoring, security and support. TulipTech holds ISO 27001 certification and is a Cyber Essentials certified partner. The company applies security discipline across all projects, not as a final add-on. In infrastructure, it manages more than 45 virtual machines on Proxmox and Ceph for World Television (WTV). Its infrastructure team, made up of specialists in Windows, Linux, cloud, networking and firewalls, handles clients' servers, networks, firewalls and cloud environments. The development team works with Java, Node.js, React and .NET, and maintains complex live video streaming services.

Proprietary products in production

The company develops and operates its own software products, which it uses as a showcase of its technical capability. These include LolerFlow, Pharmaz247, VelaCrew and SwitchGrid, all built and maintained by the same team that provides services to third parties.

Sectors served

TulipTech works for more than seven sectors, including health and social care, banking and fintech, media and entertainment, retail and e-commerce, manufacturing, professional services and enterprise SaaS. In the health sector, it has developed the CareApps care home management software, used in hundreds of care homes across the United Kingdom, and provides Microsoft 365 services, Intune-managed devices and support for Langdale Care Homes, which has seven care homes and eighty employees. The company adapts its solutions to requirements such as CQC inspections, UK GDPR and NHS DTAC expectations.
