Zoho Catalyst Development for India, USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Europe and the Gulf
Zoho Catalyst is Zoho's serverless platform for developers. We use it when a requirement needs real code: custom APIs, heavy data processing, scheduled jobs, or integrations between Zoho and systems that low-code tools cannot reach cleanly.

Questions about Zoho Catalyst
Catalyst, Creator or Deluge: which should I use?
Creator suits forms, workflows and apps built mostly visually. Deluge scripts handle logic inside Zoho apps. Catalyst fits when you need independent back-end services, heavier processing or a public API. We recommend the lightest option that meets the need.
Who owns the code?
You do. We deliver the source, documentation and deployment steps.
Do you support it after launch?
Yes, under a support or managed services plan, scoped to your needs.
How working with Flowpeak works
We deliver remotely from Chennai, India, and have no offices elsewhere. Harikrishnan, our founder, worked at several Zoho partner companies on 600+ implementations before founding Flowpeak in July 2024. He scopes every project, and our certified consultants deliver it.
Meetings in your working hours
Calls run on Google Meet, bookable 7:00 to 23:30 India time, Monday to Friday. That covers the UAE and Saudi working day, UK and European mornings and afternoons, and US East Coast mornings.
Your data stays yours
Everything is built in your own Zoho account and data centre. We work with the access you grant, sign an NDA and a data processing agreement before work starts, and you can remove our access at any time.
30 days of fixes after go-live
Anything that does not work as agreed is fixed at no extra cost for 30 days after go-live. After that, ongoing support is optional.
Paid by milestone
You pay by milestones agreed in your written quote. If the scope grows, we tell you and quote it before doing anything extra.
Common worries, straight answers
“Staff will resist changing habits and the rollout will stall.”
We roll out one team at a time, train each role on its own screens, and keep the first version simple. People adopt a system that removes work, so we cut steps before we add fields.
“Migration of years of historical data looks risky and slow.”
We clean and map your data first, run a test import that you check, and only then move the full history. Your old system stays readable until you sign off.
“We already pay for tools that sort of work; switching seems disruptive mid-season.”
We pick a quiet cut-over date with you and can run old and new side by side for a short period. Tools that work well can stay and be connected instead of replaced.
“Our process is unusual and off-the-shelf software will not fit.”
Most unusual steps fit with Blueprint stage rules, custom modules or a small Creator app. If something does not fit, we tell you in the first call.
