Inside every large company, one process eats more money than any other.

Claims, underwriting, collections, customer operations. We move in and rebuild it as software that does the work itself, then run it in production for as long as it saves money. We are paid on what we save, not on the software. That is the whole business.

0h 00m — What we do

We learn it cold.

We sit with the people who do the work until we can do it ourselves.

We move in and learn the process from the inside: the exceptions, the workarounds, the unwritten rules, the forms nobody reads. Then we rebuild it as software and run it inside the client's walls for as long as it saves money. The data never leaves.

20–30%
our target on a $100m operation. Our fee is a percentage of what we actually save.

a handful — The clients

Why they let us in.

A handful of leaders in construction, retail, and education have opened their operations to us, because our fee only exists if the savings do. Right now they're the ones waiting on us.

01

Paid on the result

The client pays a base fee, plus a percentage of the savings we prove. Most of our money is in the percentage — we only do well when the client does.

02

Freedom of operations

Consultants work from a deck. We get logins and a desk on their floor, the access it takes to actually change how the work gets done.

03

Built, then run for years

We build the system, then operate it inside the client's business for years. Anyone can write the software now. Running it well is what's worth paying for.

04

Never the same problem twice

A claims queue is not a stockroom is not a classroom. Three industries, three different machines. The work never repeats.

نجم — The name

Why we're called Naijm.

Najm is Arabic for star. Before there were roads here, navigators crossed the desert by stars — fixed points that hold still while everything else moves.

Inside a client, each of us is the fixed point an engagement sets its course by. And a constellation has no hierarchy: every star in it is visible, and each one is known on its own. The next section is all of them.

×12 — The crew

Twelve people. Four crews.

This is the whole company. No VPs, nobody whose job is other people's meetings. When you work with Naijm, the people on this page are the people in your building.
