DOTIS — an enterprise operations platform built through agentic engineering

DOTIS is Acumen Technologies' internal operations platform, designed to bring workforce management, project delivery, commercial operations, leave management and business reporting into one integrated system.

The platform also demonstrates a fundamental shift in how complex software can be engineered: a single experienced engineer directing multiple AI agents to deliver an end-to-end business application.

Acumen needed a unified platform to manage interconnected operational processes, replacing fragmented workflows with consistent data, centralized visibility and reliable reporting.

Building such a platform traditionally involves coordination across architecture, frontend and backend development, database design, integration and testing.

The challenge was not only to deliver a functional system, but to explore how AI agents could take on substantial implementation work while a human engineer retained architectural control and technical accountability.

Human-led architecture: the application architecture, technical direction, data structures and integration requirements were defined by the lead engineer before any agent wrote code.

Multi-agent orchestration: engineering work was decomposed into manageable tasks, with multiple AI agents implementing under direction and their outputs integrated into the broader application.

Continuous technical validation: implementation results were reviewed, inconsistencies addressed and integration challenges resolved before each subsequent iteration.

End-to-end accountability: architectural decisions, system coherence, technical quality and delivery outcomes remained under human ownership throughout.

TeamLed by Elmira Avagyan, Lead Agentic Software Engineer — architecture, agent orchestration, review and end-to-end technical accountability.
