Our Services
From full-cycle bespoke software builds to specialist developer placement, Globoforce UK delivers the complete range of technology services your organisation needs.
Bespoke Software Development
Off-the-shelf software rarely fits precisely. Globoforce UK designs and builds custom applications tailored to the exact operational requirements of your organisation. We handle every stage of the software development lifecycle, from initial discovery and requirements analysis through to architecture, build, testing, and deployment.
Our development teams are experienced in both greenfield builds and the extension or modernisation of existing software products. We apply proven software engineering principles — clean architecture, SOLID design, robust testing — to ensure the software we deliver remains maintainable and scalable long after the initial release.
- Full software development lifecycle management
- Requirements scoping and functional specification
- Agile and sprint-based delivery frameworks
- Integration with existing business systems and APIs
- Post-launch support and version management
Typical Deliverables
Freelance Developer Placement
When your existing development team needs additional capacity, specialist skills, or rapid reinforcement for a particular project, Globoforce UK's freelance placement service provides access to experienced, vetted software engineers on demand.
We maintain a network of senior-level freelance developers with deep experience across a broad range of technologies and domains. All developers in our network have been assessed for both technical capability and professional conduct. We do not place junior developers or untested candidates.
- Senior and mid-senior level only — no junior placements
- Rapid mobilisation, typically within days
- Contract, day-rate, and fixed-term engagement models
- Remote-first with on-site availability where required
- Full UK legal and IR35 compliance framework

Our consultants are available for both short engagements — a technical review, a second opinion on a proposed architecture, or a workshop to establish direction — and longer advisory relationships where ongoing strategic input is required.
- System architecture review and design
- Technology selection and vendor evaluation
- Technical due diligence for M&A and investment
- Security and infrastructure risk assessment
- Digital roadmap definition and prioritisation

Platforms & Environments
Digital Transformation
Many established organisations carry the burden of legacy systems, fragmented data, and manual processes that limit their agility and growth potential. Globoforce UK helps businesses plan and execute meaningful digital transformation programmes — moving from outdated infrastructure to modern, scalable, cloud-native platforms.
Our approach to transformation is methodical and risk-aware. We assess existing systems thoroughly before recommending a course of action, develop a phased migration roadmap, and manage change carefully to minimise operational disruption.
