LookFar Labs

New Orleans software studio for legacy system rebuilds, custom apps and product design

About

LookFar Labs is the software development brand of LookFar, a New Orleans technology company. It designs and builds custom web and mobile applications for established small and mid-sized businesses and for funded startups. Its engineers, designers and testers are all based in the United States, and a product manager is assigned to every engagement.

The firm's main services are legacy system modernisation, solution architecture, app development, and UX/UI and product design. It also offers brand development, user research, staff augmentation and direct-hire recruitment. Projects move through three stages: strategy, build and ongoing support. Teams can run a project from start to finish or work beside a client's own developers.

Published work includes a volumetric accounting web app for an oil and gas pipeline operator, built with .NET Core and React to replace a costly SaaS tool. For a Louisiana thoroughbred breeders' association, it rebuilt a 1980s accounting system with a rules engine, member portal and automated payment reports. Other projects cover a therapist-founded mental health app, a charitable gifting platform, an Android version of an iOS app, and long-running outsourced technology support for a workers' compensation fund.
