The challenge.
- Investors juggled quotes, watchlists and research across disconnected tools.
- The client wanted markets, portfolios and research behind one login.
- Data had to stay timely and readable under market-hours load.
- Numbers had to be trustworthy — a stale quote or a wrong position is worse than no product at all.
Our approach.
- Built the research-and-portfolio surface with React Native.
- Backed it with Django REST Framework for watchlists, holdings and market data.
- Modelled instruments, positions and research so users act on one view.
- Tuned hot paths for market-hours traffic.
- Validated market data at ingestion so a bad tick never reaches a user's screen.
The outcome.
- Investors track markets and portfolios from one place.
- Research and holdings sit behind a single login.
- The view stays responsive during market hours.
- Users trust the numbers, which is the product's entire value.

“Cloudini did some great work for Sainsbury's, bridging complex interactions between some older less flexible systems, some rigid vendor solutions and the new systems we were building. The software Cloudini developers wrote stood up well, long beyond the interim scope of it needing to work for 12-18m and was still in active use 5 years after its creation to good effect, since it was part of mission critical systems.”
