Aphex builds planning software for construction delivery teams using React, Node.js, Go, and WebSocket—a full-stack approach optimized for real-time collaboration. The product roadmap signals a shift from standalone planning toward ecosystem integration: live updates via WebSocket, Power BI dashboards, API platform, and mobile-first communication tools hint at a move beyond Gantt charts into a broader operational hub. Hiring is balanced across engineering, sales, and product, with active recruitment in UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Philippines suggesting geographic expansion alongside product maturation.

Aphex is a SaaS platform that helps construction engineering teams coordinate project delivery through shared planning tools. Founded in 2018 and based in London, the company addresses fragmentation in how construction teams manage timelines, changes, and communication—problems traditionally solved with spreadsheets and legacy tools like Primavera P6. The platform combines simplified Gantt charts with real-time collaboration features, diary functionality, and mobile communication capabilities. Recent initiatives include land-and-expand motion, Power BI reporting integration, and API access, positioning the tool as an operational backbone rather than a standalone planner.
