Development
Software That Runs Your Business
Custom applications and business systems, built from foundations already in production and delivered on your own infrastructure.
Our Point of View
Starting from systems already in production returns months of early decision-making to your business.
The Situation
Architecture, identity and deployment are the decisions that shape a software project most, and the most expensive to reverse. They deserve careful thought, and they account for much of the time a new build takes to reach the people who will use it.
Our Approach
We have already made those decisions and run them in production ourselves. What remains is fitting the system to how your organisation works: your data, your approvals and the software you already rely on, all within a scope agreed in writing before work begins.
Services
What We Build
Custom Software
Software shaped around your process, for the part of the work that off-the-shelf tools cannot handle, and owned by you.
Web Applications
Portals, dashboards and internal tools that run in any browser, with nothing to install and a record of every action.
Desktop Applications
Windows, macOS and Linux applications that work offline, reach local files and hardware, and update themselves safely.
Mobile Apps
One app for iPhone and Android, for people working away from a desk, on the same system as your other software, with or without signal.
Website Development
Fast, clear websites built so that search engines and AI assistants both understand your organisation.
AI Applications
Assistants and agents built on your own data, with quality and cost measured before they reach production.
SaaS Platforms
Accounts, teams, billing and admin tools, built so that you can launch a real subscription product and own what you launch.
E-Commerce
Storefronts and B2B ordering connected to your payments, stock, shipping and accounts, so that orders move without retyping.
ERP Systems
Stock, purchasing and job costing configured around your process, with your records migrated and checked before go-live.
CRM Systems
Pipeline, contacts and follow-ups shaped around how your team actually sells, so that the forecast reflects what buyers have done.
HR Management Systems
Joining, records, leave and payroll figures on HRKit, the system that runs our own HR, fitted to your teams and policies.
Learning & Training Platforms
Courses, membership, discussions and progress on a platform already in production, with your logins and an overdue report built in.
Integration
Connections between the systems you already run, so that each fact has one owner and data is entered once.
DevOps
Automated releases, repeatable infrastructure and dependable monitoring, so that shipping software becomes routine.
Quality and Testing
Automated tests, performance checks and accessibility reviews, built into every release and handed to your team to extend.
Support and Maintenance
Running systems kept safe and kept changing under a written agreement, by one engineer who knows your setup.
How We Engage
Your First Version in Four Weeks
A defined scope on an established platform reaches a first working version within four weeks. Larger engagements continue from there, to a date confirmed during scoping.
Configuration on Your Data
We stand up the platform and load it with data representative of your business. By the close of week one, your stakeholders are reviewing a working system.
