Notable work

Humble Cows is an ERP system designed for dairy farmers.

The system automated the process of buying milk from different farmers at varying rates based on quality.

Fast2sms, a bulk SMS provider, had its legacy website backend remodeled and received new machine learning and AI capabilities from HackerKernel. The platform now processes over 10 lakh SMS daily with 4 lakh active users.

Physiotimes is India's first magazine for physiotherapists. HackerKernel built a mobile and web application providing a platform for global physiotherapists to exchange information.

eREALTO is a CRM system for the real estate industry that manages active and potential customers across a network of sales managers. The company reports it has "sped up the entire process of finding buyers and organizing sales of residential and commercial lands."

IM Connect is a social platform connecting models and hiring agencies, allowing users to upload portfolios and review candidates.

How they work

HackerKernel operates on a time and material (T&M) model, working with clients to adapt to their specific needs. The company emphasizes transparency and real-time progress reporting. Their process begins with understanding client challenges and business context, moves through UI/UX design and sketching, then into backend and frontend development. Code quality is stated as a priority. Applications are tested and debugged before deployment. The company offers post-launch support and calls this "after-services." Pricing details are not disclosed in the source material, but they position themselves as cost-effective relative to quality delivered.
