OUR SERVICES

Scale your projects with cost-effective, quality solutions

Need skilled .NET developers? At ZenDev, we understand the challenge of finding the right talent. Therefore, our certified experts, with a proven track record, work closely with you to deliver projects on time and within budget. Connect with top developers who can integrate with your team or fully own your project. 

Here’s how we can help:

Custom .NET development services

We build custom solutions that meet your unique business needs, whether it's web applications, mobile apps, or cloud-native systems. Our experienced .NET developers leverage the latest technologies to create secure, scalable solutions hosted on platforms like Azure and AWS, ensuring your applications perform at their best. 

For example, we developed a product design tool that enables users to customize items with logos and text and submit requests for mass production. Our team built the entire system, utilizing a .NET 7 backend, MS SQL Server database, and modern web API to ensure seamless communication with third-party services.

Integration and API development

We simplify your business processes by integrating .NET applications with databases, CRMs, ERPs, and more. Using tools like ASP.NET Web API, WCF, and third-party SDKs, we build reliable APIs that facilitate smooth data sharing and improve efficiency across your systems.

In the past, we have worked on a platform designed to handle product risk assessments for various handling items, such as chemicals and protective equipment (e.g., gloves and masks), along with managing user permissions across different departments in companies. This system integrates smoothly with AWS and .NET APIs, allowing efficient data management and secure access control, enabling users to make informed decisions on product safety.

Migration and modernization

Is your legacy system in need of an upgrade? We help businesses modernize their tech stack and migrate applications to .NET with minimal disruption. By transitioning to cloud services like Microsoft Azure or updating from Classic ASP to ASP.NET Core, we ensure your applications enhance scalability, reliability, and reduce long-term costs. 

In a recent project, we maintained legacy code on .NET Framework 4.7.2 while optimizing for an upgrade to the latest Litium version. This involved utilizing microservices and integrating with Microsoft SQL Server and Elasticsearch for a seamless transition.
