GATEX LIMITED

What GATEX LIMITED does

GateX Limited is a UK-registered private limited company headquartered at 44 Broadway, Stratford, London, that operates a dual business: a six-pillar digital transformation consultancy and a small portfolio of in-house software products. The consultancy delivers custom software engineering, mobile app design and UX, network security, cloud operations and hosting, IT consultancy, and network design services, targeted at "growing enterprises" and "high-performance businesses." Engagements follow a four-phase Flawless Execution Methodology (Discovery, Architecture, Development, Evolution) and are initiated via direct consultation rather than public pricing or self-service channels.

Underlying the services is a modern, non-proprietary full-stack technology base spanning React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, Node.js, Python, Go, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Swift, SwiftUI, and Kotlin, with a stated Zero-Trust security posture and Prometheus/Grafana/ELK observability. Alongside services, GateX operates four in-house products distributed via the Apple App Store: GrowMate (AI-driven iOS plant diagnostics), RoomShift (AI-powered spatial planning), BlockSway (a consumer puzzle game), and Subvra (a B2B SaaS platform for iOS developers), which collectively introduce a subscription revenue stream into an otherwise project-based business.

Revenue mechanics are split across professional services engagements, managed services/cloud hosting, and Subvra subscription fees; all commercial terms are quote-based with no published pricing. No customer logos, headcount, funding events, revenue figures, or leadership disclosures are present in the available data, indicating a very early-stage operating profile and limiting external diligence.

Product overview

GateX Limited is a UK-registered software development and IT consultancy that combines a six-pillar professional services portfolio — Custom Software Engineering, Mobile App Design & UX, Network Security, Cloud Operations & Hosting, IT Consultancy, and Network Design — with a small in-house product line of native iOS applications and a developer-facing API platform. The in-house products comprise GrowMate: Plant Doctor (an AI-driven plant diagnostics iOS app), RoomShift (an AI-powered spatial planning iOS app), BlockSway (a premium iOS puzzle game), and Subvra (a B2B backend subscription and entitlement API platform for iOS developers). The professional service offerings and the named in-house products are unified by a shared technology architecture (Swift/SwiftUI iOS front-ends, Node.js + MongoDB + Redis backends, GraphQL APIs, and AWS-hosted cloud operations), with Subvra additionally serving as the firm's primary API surface exposed to external iOS developers.
