About Syfo
Syfo builds software around real business requirements.
We're an Irish software company. We work directly with businesses to design and build the software they need, and we develop software products of our own.
Building our own products shapes how we build for clients.
Building our own products influences how we approach client software. Software needs to work for real users, handle real business rules and continue evolving after launch.
LunchLog is the clearest example. It's a school meal ordering and administration platform we built and continue to develop, used today by 3,500+ people across 35+ schools. Running it means dealing with everything production software involves: different types of users, real data, changing requirements and the expectation that it simply works every day.

- 01
Understand the problem first
Before deciding what to build, we work out what the software needs to achieve, who will use it and what gets in their way today.
- 02
Build maintainable systems
Software has to be changed safely for years after launch. We write it with that in mind.
- 03
Keep things practical
The simplest solution that solves the problem well is usually the right one — even when that's not custom software.
- 04
Work closely with clients
You talk directly to the people designing and building your software, in plain language.
- 05
Use modern software development
Current, well-supported technologies, chosen to fit the project rather than out of habit.
- 06
Think long term
Launch is the start. Good software evolves alongside the business that uses it.
