Zento / Software studio
Apps · Ecommerce · Utility products
Alongside client work, we design and ship our own products. End to end, in production, under our own name.
Zento Ventures is small on purpose. There is no account layer, no discovery theatre, no deck that arrives before the software does. The people who scope the work are the people who write it.
We build products end to end: interface, backend, infrastructure, the storefront it sells through. Some are for clients. Some are ours. All of them are in production, which is the only state we consider finished.
Mobile and web products with real state, real users and real edge cases. Typed end to end, deterministic where it counts, built to survive the second year, not just the demo.
Storefronts built to sell, not to win awards. Brand, catalogue, checkout and the operational plumbing behind it, launched on platforms you can actually run without us.
Small, sharp tools that do one job without asking for an account. Our own products, shipped under our own name, because the fastest way to prove a studio can build is to build.
Conversational AI · Ecommerce
An AI agent that wins back abandoned carts over WhatsApp.
Reaches shoppers who left at checkout, answers the questions that stopped them (sizing, shipping, returns), and offers only the discounts the merchant has configured. Every message is checked for correct prices and links before it goes out, contact is capped so nobody gets spammed, and staff can take over any conversation straight from WhatsApp Business.
Ecommerce · Own brand
A man-cave storefront with a sense of humour about itself, and a straight face about the products.
Beard care, drinking gear, smoking accessories, car kit and divorced-dad-rock merch, under one brand voice that knows exactly what it is. Built on Shopify so it can be run day to day without a developer in the loop.
One email. Describe the thing, and you will get a real answer from the person who would build it.
