Ruby on Rails specialists for revenue-critical applications
Your business depends on its Rails application. Make it a source of confidence, not uncertainty.
Foxsoft takes responsibility for reducing risk, restoring delivery momentum and keeping important Ruby on Rails applications reliable, secure and ready for what comes next.
We can become the accountable team behind your whole platform, or take responsibility for a defined project alongside your internal team – without the delay and risk of hiring.
You keep control. We own the work and the outcome.

I’d just like to say how much of a difference the online system has made to our business – we’d have been lost without it this year. As you know, Toni was out of action for several months, and I was stretched really thinly. I would not have managed to keep the business running if I’d been trying to do it using our old systems. The online system you developed streamlines things so much, I was able to keep on top of things without working myself into the ground.

Two ways to work with Foxsoft
Accountability at the level you need
Not every business needs the same kind of help. Some leaders need to stop managing developers altogether. Others already have a capable team but need experienced Rails specialists to remove a bottleneck or deliver an important project faster.
In both cases: responsibilities, decision rights and success criteria are agreed at the start. Your team keeps visibility and control.
Why Foxsoft
Uncertainty grows when nobody is accountable. Foxsoft removes it.
When accountability is unclear
- Risks stay hidden until they become urgent.
- Estimates and scope change without explanation.
- Knowledge is trapped with individuals.
- The backlog grows but momentum slows.
- Leaders cannot see what happens next.
When Foxsoft is accountable
- Risks and priorities are made visible.
- Success, scope and assumptions are explicit.
- Knowledge is documented and shared.
- Progress is reported every week.
- Technical decisions stay tied to business outcomes.
The Foxsoft Delivery Guarantee
Every engagement begins with clarity.
Before development starts, you’ll know:
- what success looks like
- what we plan to deliver
- what it costs
- when you’ll receive it
- who is responsible
- what happens if problems arise

From platform risk to business confidence
Andy cares. It’s not just about numbers. He wants to have a relationship with us and deliver to our needs. They’re not greedy. Foxsoft is priced in a way that is appropriate, and yet their model is ‘You can leave us at any point.’ There’s the documentation and everything we’d need to go and use another developer. You don’t get that in business often. We do trust them and we’re happy to continue to work with them.
