Case studies and products

Our work

Two different things, kept apart on this page. First, client work: systems we delivered for clients, with client names withheld under confidentiality. Second, our own products: software we build and publish ourselves, which you can download and inspect. Our own products are not client case studies.

Case studies

Client work

Real systems we have delivered, each described in full: the problem, what we built and what changed. Client names stay confidential; references are shared privately during procurement.

GovernmentQatarPublic sector and charitable services

Qatar Government Digital Platform

Timeline Digital designed and built a bilingual Arabic and English digital platform for a public-sector program in Qatar, replacing manual, paper-based handling of beneficiary and donor services with one secure online system.

The problem

The program handled applications, approvals and support services for beneficiaries through paper forms, spreadsheets and disconnected tools. Staff in different departments could not see the same case information, applicants had no online channel, and reporting to leadership took days of manual work. The platform also had to serve Arabic-speaking and English-speaking users equally well, which meant full right-to-left and left-to-right interface support rather than a translated afterthought.

What we did

  • Discovery workshops and business analysis with program stakeholders
  • User experience and interface design for both language directions
  • System architecture and development
  • Data model design and migration from existing records
  • Quality assurance and user acceptance testing support
  • Deployment and post-launch support

What changed

  • One bilingual platform replaced paper forms and disconnected spreadsheets
  • Departments now work from a single shared view of each case
  • Applicants gained an online channel for requests and status tracking
  • Management reporting moved from manual compilation to on-demand views

Our own products, not client work

Products we build and publish

Everything in this section is Timeline Digital's own work: software we build, ship and maintain ourselves, and our own marketing. None of it is a client project. Each entry links to a write-up of what we built and the stack.
