Jiwar — to be adjacent

We build softwareclose to the work

Jiwar is a Jordanian software company based in Amman. We design and build web and mobile products from interface to infrastructure, in Arabic and English from day one.

What we do

Four services that run from the first idea to a system somebody can maintain.

  • Design

    Visual identity, logos, and UI/UX for web and mobile, delivered as a working design system — tokens, components, states — rather than a folder of images.

  • Development

    Websites, web applications and mobile apps. Typed from the database schema to the component prop, tested in CI, and deployed from a pipeline rather than from somebody's laptop.

  • Software Consulting

    Technology choices, architecture and strategy, written down with their alternatives and trade-offs so the decision still makes sense a year later without the people who made it.

  • Digital Marketing

    SEO, content, social and email — technical foundations first, so that what you publish can actually be crawled and found.

Service details

What we are building

Each one is written as a case study — the problem, who it is for, the judgement that shaped it — rather than a product page.

  • XMenu

    Restaurant operations

    An in-development restaurant product centered on QR menus, ordering, order tracking, and owner menu and order workflows.

  • XERP

    Enterprise resource planning

    Business management software under active development for accounts, stock, sales and purchasing, designed around a separate database for each business.

  • Storat

    Multi-vendor commerce

    A pre-launch marketplace prototype exploring vendor catalogues, B2B accounts, shipping, reviews, fraud checks, and a visual page builder while its tenancy architecture is being redesigned.

All work

How we work

A clear rhythm and progress you can follow from discovery through handover.

  1. 01

    Discovery, one week

    We read your existing system, talk to the people who use it daily, and write the constraints down as they are rather than as we would like them. You leave with a scoped brief and a decision log that is yours to keep, whether or not we build it together.

  2. 02

    Design and architecture together

    Interface flows and the technical shape land at the same time. Design tokens, the data model and the API contract are agreed before anyone writes the first feature.

  3. 03

    Build in two-week increments

    Every increment ends in a deployed environment you can open and try. Tickets, branches and pull requests are visible to you from day one, not summarised in a monthly deck.

  4. 04

    A handover that holds

    You get the repository, the pipeline, the database migrations and a runbook. No hostage code, and no server nobody can name the owner of.

We work fixed-scope on defined builds and on a monthly retainer for ongoing product work. An estimate comes after discovery, never before it.

Close to the work

Jiwar Software works from Amman, Jordan. Your project stays close to the people responsible for designing and building it.

We work in Arabic and English and build for both. That is why right-to-left is a first-class layout concern here from the first design, not a patch applied a week before handover. This site itself was built Arabic-first.

Our own products — restaurant operations, enterprise resource planning, online commerce, attendance and HR, trading markets, and task management — are where we test our engineering standards and turn them into systems that can be operated and maintained.

Latest writing

Notes on the decisions behind the work: architecture, tooling, and the trade-offs we live with.

  • RTL is not a mirror

    Right-to-left support is a layout architecture decision you make on day one, not a translation task handed to whoever is free in the last sprint.

  • What a handover should contain

    The test is not whether the code was delivered. It is whether a different team could take it over on a Monday morning without calling you.
