At our latest RDBR Meetup, we brought the team together to talk about one of our long-term international partnerships: our two-year collaboration with Tavistock Protect.
The session focused on PP Mobius, Tavistock Protect’s proprietary vertical CRM and one of the key products we have been building with their team. The platform supports the protection-sales lifecycle across onboarding, fact-finds, compliance and AML, submissions, commissions, and reporting.
Taso Motsonelidze, PO and PM on the project, started with the shape of the engagement rather than the software. Two years in, PP Mobius is not a project with a delivery date - it is a dedicated Redberry team working across full-stack development, AI engineering, UX and product management, alongside a client whose advisers, compliance reviewers, finance team and management all sit inside the same system every working day. That framed everything that followed: Tavistock Protect did not need a CRM with extra fields; they needed the system their business runs on.
From there, the session moved into the parts of the product that are hard precisely because the industry is regulated. PP Mobius will not let an adviser move a case forward out of order: a quote cannot be generated until the relevant fact find sections are complete, and the Apply button only activates once compliance has approved the recommendation and every client signature is confirmed. Compliance itself now runs a mix of deterministic system checks and AI checks built on the Laravel AI SDK - each check a separate micro-agent returning its own confidence score, evidence and reasoning trace, with a human reviewer still signing off at the end. Every review version is an immutable snapshot that exports as a PDF an FCA auditor can read.
The commission engine was the clearest example of what that caution actually costs. Changing the rules that decide what hundreds of advisers are paid, weekly and in advance, is not something you cut over in a single release. So both the legacy calculation and the new six-tier logic run side by side in production: only the new one is shown in the interface, but both sets of outputs are kept, so the client's finance team can compare them line by line before the old path is retired. Product, delivery and engineering each walked through their side of that decision.
“The session gave our team a clearer view of the product, the partnership, and the kind of business-critical problems we solve through software.“
Not every person at Redberry works on every project, but everyone benefits from understanding the kinds of products, industries, and client relationships that shape our company.
The Tavistock Protect session was especially valuable because it showed what long-term product partnerships look like in practice. It was not just a story about building features. It was a story about understanding business operations, designing for regulated workflows, and creating software that becomes central to how a company works. For a deeper look at the product itself, explore the PP Mobius case study.
And, as usual, our office puppy joined the session and found the discussion extremely insightful.

Redberry is twelve. What began in 2014 with four founders in Tbilisi now rests on two decisions taken along the way: specialise in Laravel, and take that expertise international. That adds up to 300+ products shipped across the EU, UK, US and Middle East, around 200 people, and a place among the 13 Laravel Premier Partners worldwide. Here is how we got here, and who got us here.
