What We Build
We have operated from Islamabad since 2013, building custom software, ERP and CRM systems, SaaS platforms, and mobile applications for 860+ clients across six countries. We also provide SEO, digital marketing, and cloud infrastructure. The same team that builds your software runs an SEO and digital marketing practice that drives measurable organic leads for clients, with managed hosting that maintains 99.9% uptime on production systems.
Timeline Digital is a custom software development company. We build custom software, web and mobile apps, CRM platforms, ERP systems, SaaS products, MVPs, and automation tools for startups, SMBs, and enterprises that have outgrown spreadsheets or off-the-shelf software. We also maintain ecommerce stores, run SEO and paid-media campaigns, and offer free desktop tools including Timeline POS, Timeline CRM, Timeline School Manager, and Timeline Labor Manager. Core builds use .NET Core, Next.js, Flutter, and Laravel, chosen per project based on scale and integration requirements.
Clients range from early-stage startups building their first product to established businesses in manufacturing, real estate, retail, logistics, and healthcare that need industry-specific software their current tools cannot handle. Most international clients are based in the USA, UK, Germany, Canada, or UAE. Pakistani clients span Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, and Peshawar. Project budgets and complexity vary widely. The intake call scopes both before any commitment is made.
Three things separate us from typical outsourcing firms: first, clients receive a signed IP assignment and NDA before discovery begins, so ownership is never ambiguous. Second, pricing is fixed in a written scope document approved before the first line of code is written. Third, the same senior engineers who scope the project build it, with no bait-and-switch to junior staff mid-engagement. We have maintained this model since 2013 across 1,500+ delivered projects.

From a US-based logistics startup to a UK retail chain needing a custom ERP, the same six commitments have governed every project we have delivered since 2013.
The engineers who attend the discovery call are the engineers who write your code. We do not hand projects to junior staff as billing becomes routine. The named lead assigned at kickoff remains your single point of contact through final delivery and the post-launch support period.
No junior handoffsBefore any project details are shared, we sign a mutual NDA and an IP assignment that transfers full source code and design ownership to you upon delivery. You are not licensing the software. You own it outright, including the right to modify and redistribute it without restriction.
Full IP transferEvery project begins with a written Business Requirements Document that locks the feature set, technology stack, delivery milestones, and final price. No work starts until you have reviewed and signed the scope. Change requests outside that scope are priced separately and approved before implementation.
No scope creepWe have delivered software for sectors with strict data requirements, including healthcare record systems, financial reporting platforms, and multi-branch retail, where security is validated at the architecture stage, not added as an afterthought. Standard delivery includes encrypted data storage, role-based access control, and audit logging.
Compliance-ready deliveryClient teams in the USA, UK, Germany, Canada, and UAE each get scheduled overlap hours with their Timeline Digital project lead. Communication runs over WhatsApp, email, and shared project tools. Our policy is same-business-day response to any written query, without exception.
Same-day responsesFounded in 2013, we have completed more than 1,500 projects for 860+ clients in Pakistan, the USA, the UK, Germany, Canada, and the UAE. Over 70% of clients return for a second or third project (based on repeat engagements since 2013). The portfolio spans ERP, SaaS, mobile apps, ecommerce, and AI workflow automation.
70%+ client retentionEvery project follows the same five-phase framework, used across 1,500+ delivered projects since 2013. Each phase ends with a named deliverable you review and approve before work advances. No phase begins until the previous one is signed off.
We conduct structured discovery sessions with your team to map business objectives, user roles, workflows, and system boundaries. The output is a Business Requirements Document (BRD) and a Technical Specification, both reviewed with you and signed off before architecture begins.
Our designers translate the approved specification into a full-screen UX design in Figma. Every screen, state, and user flow is modelled before development starts. You receive a clickable prototype to navigate on any device. Changes at this stage cost nothing.
Development runs in two-week sprints. At the end of each sprint, you access a live staging environment where completed features are deployed and reviewable. A single named project manager is your point of contact throughout, with no rotating handoffs.
Before go-live, every build passes functional, performance, security, and mobile-compatibility testing. You then complete User Acceptance Testing against a structured checklist. We do not deploy to production until you have confirmed readiness in writing.
After launch, your project moves to a documented SLA-backed support plan. Response times, escalation paths, and included revision scope are all defined in writing. Ongoing development continues for subscription clients; one-time ownership clients receive a complete source code handover package.

Timeline Digital (Pvt.) Ltd. is a custom software and digital services company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Islamabad, Pakistan. The company employs 85+ engineers, designers, and marketers and has completed more than 1,500 projects for 860+ clients across the USA, UK, Germany, Canada, UAE, and Pakistan. Core services include custom software development, web and mobile applications, ERP and CRM systems, SaaS platforms, ecommerce, AI automation, SEO, digital marketing, branding, and cloud infrastructure. The company also publishes free desktop products including Timeline POS, Timeline CRM, Timeline School Manager, and Timeline Labor Manager.
Timeline Digital's registered office and primary engineering team are located in G-11, Islamabad, Pakistan. The company operates in multiple markets (USA, UK, Germany, Canada, UAE, and Pakistan) and handles all client communication in English. You can reach the team by email at info@timelinedigi.com, by phone at +92 344 9310484, or via WhatsApp at the same number. Remote project management, video calls, and milestone reviews are standard practice for all international clients regardless of time zone.
Timeline Digital covers four practice areas. Software engineering: custom software, web applications built with Next.js and .NET, mobile apps using Flutter, ecommerce stores, ERP and CRM systems, SaaS platforms, and AI automation. Cloud and infrastructure: AWS and Azure setup, CI/CD pipelines, managed hosting. Digital marketing: SEO, Google Ads, social media management, and email marketing. Brand and design: logo design, brand identity systems, and consulting. Projects can be scoped as one-time builds with full ownership, ongoing monthly engagements, or milestone-based installment contracts.
Cost depends on scope, number of users, integrations required, and the technology stack. As rough anchors: a small internal tool or admin panel starts from around $3,000; a mid-size business system with CRM, reporting, and a mobile companion typically falls in the $15,000 to $35,000 range; an enterprise ERP or multi-tenant SaaS platform with cloud infrastructure runs $50,000 and above. Timeline Digital provides a fixed written quote after a free scoping call, and no work begins without a signed specification and approved price. Payment can be structured across up to five milestones.
Delivery time scales directly with scope. A five-to-eight-screen mobile app built in Flutter typically takes 6 to 10 weeks from signed specification to App Store submission. A web application with user management, dashboards, and API integrations runs 8 to 14 weeks. An ERP covering inventory, HR, finance, and procurement with 8 or more modules takes 3 to 5 months. A full SaaS platform with multi-tenant architecture, subscription billing, and admin dashboards typically takes 4 to 6 months. These ranges assume a complete, approved requirements document at the start of development.
Yes. Timeline Digital builds cross-platform mobile apps using Flutter, which produces a single codebase that runs natively on iOS and Android with performance comparable to platform-native code. For projects requiring deep platform integration, such as health sensors, Bluetooth hardware, or specialized camera access, the team also builds native apps in Swift (iOS) and Kotlin (Android). The service covers UI/UX design, API backend development, App Store and Google Play submission, and post-launch maintenance. Most mobile projects include a companion web admin panel built in Next.js or React.
Yes. Timeline Digital builds industry-specific CRM and ERP systems from scratch rather than reselling licensed platforms. A typical CRM covers lead management, sales pipeline tracking, follow-up automation, client lifecycle records, and reporting dashboards, integrated with email and WhatsApp where needed. A typical ERP covers inventory, procurement, finance, HR, payroll, and multi-branch reporting, with role-based access for each department. Both are built on .NET Core or Laravel backends with React or Next.js frontends. Source code and all database schemas are transferred to the client at project close.
Yes. The digital marketing practice covers technical SEO, on-page content strategy, Google Ads campaign management, Meta Ads, social media management, and email marketing. SEO engagements begin with a full site audit covering Core Web Vitals, crawlability, keyword gap analysis, and content structure. Reporting is monthly, with rankings, traffic, and lead attribution tracked against agreed KPIs. Timeline Digital's own website ranks on page one in Pakistan for terms including 'custom software development Islamabad' and 'ERP development Pakistan', and the same technical SEO approach is applied to client sites.
Yes. On one-time and installment projects, full source code, database schemas, design files, and all intellectual property are transferred to the client upon final payment. An NDA is signed before any requirements discussion begins. On monthly subscription engagements, the client owns all work produced during the engagement period and receives a complete code handover if the relationship ends. Timeline Digital does not retain licenses, platform lock-in, or ongoing access to client systems unless explicitly contracted for managed support. This applies to all markets: Pakistan, UK, USA, UAE, Germany, and Canada.
Yes. Timeline Digital regularly takes on early-stage startups shipping their first product or MVP, and small businesses moving from spreadsheets to purpose-built software. For businesses not yet ready to commission custom development, the company offers free desktop products at no cost and no subscription fee: Timeline POS for retail and restaurants, Timeline CRM for sales teams, Timeline School Manager for schools, and Timeline Labor Manager for field-heavy operations. These tools run on Windows and work fully offline.
Post-launch support is structured in two ways. The first year of hosting and database hosting is included in project pricing for eligible builds. Beyond that, clients can opt for a monthly support and maintenance contract covering bug fixes, security patches, dependency updates, and minor feature additions. Larger feature work after launch is scoped and quoted as new milestones. Most Timeline Digital clients remain on an ongoing engagement for two or more years after the initial build. Emergency response for production issues is handled within agreed SLA windows specified in the support contract.
Send a brief description of your project via email at info@timelinedigi.com or WhatsApp at +92 344 9310484. A one-paragraph description of what you need is enough to get started. A member of the team will respond within one business day to schedule a free scoping call, typically 30 to 60 minutes. After the call, Timeline Digital produces a written project specification and fixed-price quote, usually within three to five business days. Work begins only after the specification is reviewed and a contract is signed. No upfront payment is required before you have a written scope and price in hand.
