/ SUMMARY /

LIMINA is a Sweden-based investment management platform built for asset managers, institutional investors, and hedge funds with $100 million - $30 billion AUM across Northern Europe and the United Kingdom. LIMINA came to Orient Software with a legacy interface that no longer could keep pace with its evolving feature needs. Without modernization, LIMINA risked falling behind in the current investment management market where asset owners expect reliability and polished execution at every level. Since 2020, Orient has worked as LIMINA’s dedicated team, delivering a modernized interface, a reusable UI library, and a reliable platform built to scale with LIMINA's growing user base.

/ The situation /

When a growing platform met an aging foundation

LIMINA was looking for a technical partner capable of understanding its pain points and translating them into solutions, rather than just a service vendor who could execute a checklist. That search led LIMINA to Orient Software. LIMINA approached Orient Software with a clear set of goals. Firstly, the company looked for a technical partner to modernize its interface for a modern look and feel without compromising usability. Secondly, LIMINA wanted to build its own reusable UI library to draw on for future development. Beyond the interface itself, LIMINA needed to improve its platform performance, offering its users a smoother, more reliable experience.

An interface that fell behind

The UI was plain and outdated. It lacked the visual polish and usability of a modern investment management solution.

A codebase held together by patches

The codebase had been built over time without a consistent structure, making it difficult to maintain and extend. Every change or fix was harder than it needed to be.

Gaps in essential functionality

The platform was missing features that users needed. Left unaddressed, the functionality gap widened as the platform’s codebase became harder to extend.

/ THE SOLUTION /

A future-proof front end modernized for performance & longevity

To meet LIMINA’s requirements, Orient Software assembled a specialized unit of senior engineers. The team worked closely with LIMINA’s counterpart to overhaul the platform’s frontend and deliver continuous improvements across application coverage, reusability, and code quality.

Visual & performance revamp

Orient’s team re-designed LIMINA’s interface for a cleaner, more contemporary look while keeping usability front and center. Alongside UI modernization, the team improved the platform’s performance to deliver faster and more reliable experiences for everyday use.

Application rebuild & expansion

The entire suite of legacy applications was re-engineered, while new ones, including Portfolio Monitor, Order Manager, Rebalancer, Time Series, and more, joined the platform. Advanced capabilities like configuration sharing, editable data tables, and high-volume file import were added to help LIMINA’s users manage investment workflows more efficiently.

A reusable UI library

Rather than re-designing user interfaces app by app, Orient’s team built a standalone UI library that could serve LIMINA’s entire suite of applications. This reduced duplicate work and offered the company a consistent design system to rely on for future development.

Codebase enhancement

Beyond the interface, the codebase itself was rewritten for long-term maintainability and extensibility, with added test coverage to safeguard product quality as LIMINA’s platform continues to evolve over time.

/ THE RESULTS /

A revitalized platform empowering investment managers

The deliverables reflect everything LIMINA set out to achieve. LIMINA’s flagship investment management platform was completely refreshed with a modern look and feel. What was once outdated and difficult to maintain now offers users a polished interface, performs more reliably, and evolves with continuous upgrades.

/ OUR INTERNAL THOUGHTS /

“What first started as a modernization project in 2020 has since grown into an ongoing, multi-year partnership. Responsiveness, stability, and growth were what we set out to deliver for LIMINA, and we are now proud to see the platform today: a feature-rich and user-centric ecosystem purpose-rebuilt to support LIMINA’s growth for years to come.”
