About
Better, Cheaper and Faster than ever before.
XF is set to transform software development by empowering you to build next-generation, scalable business applications with minimal coding. It promotes an efficient and innovative technique that re-uses customisable components that adhere to open standards like HTML, JavaScript and CSS.
XF ensures that the presentation layer (UI) is truly independent, accessible via REST APIs, open to end-users, and highly customisable with no vendor-lock.
Developers can access a growing library of plug-and-play components along with third-party Themes, Templates and Components that are either free or available under generous licensing terms.
XF, is all about API-First Architecture.
The platform acts as a central hub, enabling users to create, modify, and tailor Data Models dynamically using metadata,
while making them accessible through APIs that follow a standard schema..
Proven, Tried & Tested
Backed by years of R&D, XF powers enterprise applications across industries, proving its reliability and scalability.
It reduces the need for repetitive coding as it comes pre-packaged with a variety of features that include Authentication with JWTs, Role Based Access, Dynamic UI Rendering, Validation, and Transaction based commits .
Unlike code generators, XF relies on model definitions and builds the system on the fly. The end user changes the definition, and the whole application changes while its still running!
Benefits
Shifting from monolithic systems to a Service Oriented Architecture gives organisations the flexibility to choose the best tools available today and in the future. This approach makes adding, replacing or removing services easier and helps the organisation adapt to changing needs.
Our goal is to enable non-programmers - like business analysts or academics - to create advanced software applications by focusing on their expertise, while levaraging pre-built components from a curated repository.
Domain Experts can structure their knowledge into re-usable units that can be shared and accessed via APIs across organisational boundaries.
These are some of benefits you can achieve compared to traditional software application development models

Case Studies
Our platform lets you build No Limit apps that have best practices baked into them. This allows you to be less dependent on quality of programmer hires and grow the application along with growth of your business. The apps you build are not something you prototype and then discard at a later stage. Instead it becomes the basis of something that can become as complex as you can imagine it to be. You have the power to extend and customise independently without any limitation whatsoever (* on-premise licensing model).
Secondly, Few LC/NC vendors actually let the user build enterprise grade apps with UI Components that are Open Source, in the user's control and in plain HTML/CSS.
Here are examples of few select applications developed using our platform. They range from simplest to the relativelt complex and cover a variety of use-cases and industries.
Bookings, Event & Capacity Planning, Ticketing, E-Commerce
TOURISM - LEADING WATER SPORTS OPERATOR IN MALTA
A leading water sports and yacht charter company, that offers variety of fun and leisure activity packages in Malta. Offerings include, JetSki, Parasailing, Speed Boats, Power Boats, Yacht, Cabin Cruiser and Boat Charters.
XF was used to build an end-to-end system involving Event Planning, Capacity and Availability calculation based on a variety of parameters, Online bookings and Payment Gateway API configuration, Physical bookings through Sales Agents, Tracking Commissions, Redeeming Tickets via QR codes, Consolidated and Detailed Reporting, Integrated website which exposes the booking APIs. And finally as an ongoing project, using AI to capture bookings through Natural Language Processing

TakeOffs Management, QS & Cost Control
A Large Construction Company
Decided to build a tool that can be used to achieve Centralised Reporting- Budget, Resource & Cost Analysis
This tool should allow their Quantity Surveyors to follow a standard methodology and to structure BOQs within a centralised database.
The TakeOffs should be recorded electronically into a database, instead of local spreadsheets, even from sites with devices such as mobile phones or tablets.
The data is then used top management to achieve Accurate Cost Control across Projects and manage Resources and Assets effectively.
The organisation should also able to Generate AFPs on demand with few clicks – thereby shortening the payment cycle. The system should also ensure that margins are maintained and right rates are applied to each work carried out while carrying out TakeOffs
For this requirement, a web based, responsive, customisable application was developed using XF
- From Analysis, Review, Prototyping,Deployment to Go Live : 6 Months
- Lines of Custom Code : <1500
- Number of Users : 50+
- Specific Requirements : Ability Import of BOQ from Excel; User defined Measurement [Formulae]; Rate Library; PDF Reporting
Time Tracking and Billing Software
www.TimeTrakk.com
Standalone SaaS application for Accountants, Lawyers and other professionals with ever-growing feature list
Timetrakk is an app that lets users within an organisation track time spent, with rates that vary across projects, clients and task types.
Multi-Tenancy is inbuilt, which means users of a particular organisation cannot access data related to another organisation,
although the SaaS application is managed and administered on a single database server hosted on the cloud.
The fuel record is held in a database where it is later used for analytics.
For this requirement, a responsive application that works on desktop as well as mobile devices using data connectivity was developed using XF
- Development Time : 30 Minutes
- Number of Entities : ~15
- Number of Users : Unlimited
- Deployment Type : On Premise
Components & Specifications Database
Projects Plus Ltd
Projects Plus Limited (PPL) is an agency that provides consultancy services to the Government with regards to the planning and implementation of various large building and construction projects.
In collaboration with other Government entities, it is currently working on a large affordable housing project which
includes the construction of 768 new apartments and 626 lock-up garages/car spaces around the Maltese Islands.
This project has a total investment that amounts to around 58 Million Euro.
PPL required a system that can help architects and designers compile information and manage data related to products, specifications and materials more effectively through a central database accessible that is securely accessible online.
Using XF, a software was built that facilitates Architects and Engineers in the preparation of Data Sheets and collaborative management of Specifications, whilst providing a robust and comprehensive methodology for managing data in a rights based manner with version control.

Why XF?
Our platform abstracts away the complexity and enables rapid delivery of state-of-the-art software applications with a minimum of hand-coding
Software Made Easy
Every organisation has unique processes and adaptations. This is the reason why they retain competitive advantage over another. Due to inflexible and off-the-shelf standard systems, these processes are not systematically captured or remains in spreadsheets.
Our technology is an attempt to change the situation. A way for software to be created with ease, with substantially less resources and most importantly, make it work without much code.
Cost
Our technology has consistently demonstrated that development of applications is possible with 80% less code than methods that use conventional workflows.
XF helps build Low Maintenance, scalable apps that conform to industry standards.
This results in saving almost 70% of developer time (and by extension, money)
Open
There is no new proprietary stack or languague to learn! Just standard HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
Create flexible, ‘API First’ apps that can be enhanced independently with no tie-in to our platform.
Code where custom business logic is needed, and package them as services through standard REST APIs. Data also remains in your control. Query independently as you would with a standard RDBMS.
Impact
Our platform helps build solutions that are secure and can be scaled across an organization.
It can enhance the reach of innovative solutions developed by employees and pipe it through a standard and structured approach that helps IT governance.
Empowering Citizen Developers
Citizen developers are usually the first to engage with low-code tools. XF allows them to utilise their skillsets fully & move from Spreadsheets Macros to Enterprise grade apps.
Community
Our platform facilitates 'Open Innovation' by enabling the entire world to contribute (as well as profit) by creating modular components in an open and standard stack. The IP rights to such components are owned by the contributor and not by us.
