Custom software built around how you actually work

Platforms, internal systems, and integrations for teams who have outgrown spreadsheets and off-the-shelf tools, designed to be maintained for years, not months.

Maintainable

Documented, tested code another team could pick up without a rewrite.

Integrated

Fits your ERP, CRM, and finance systems instead of replacing them.

Secure

Role-based access, audit trails, and encrypted data by default.

Yours

You own the code, the data, and the infrastructure accounts.

What we build

Systems that carry the weight of the business

Whether it is a new product, an internal platform, or an old system that has become a liability, the starting point is the same: what the work requires.

Custom business platforms

Operations, inventory, scheduling, and back-office systems shaped around your process rather than a vendor's template.

SaaS products

Multi-tenant products with billing, roles, and onboarding built in, scoped so a first paid version can ship.

Integrations & APIs

Connecting ERP, CRM, payments, and logistics systems so data stops being copied by hand between them.

Legacy modernisation

Incremental replacement of ageing systems, migrating data and users in stages so operations keep running.

Dashboards & reporting

Operational and financial reporting pulled from live systems, so the numbers are current when someone asks.

Cloud & DevOps

Infrastructure as code, deployment pipelines, backups, and monitoring so releases are routine rather than events.

How we work

Working software in front of users early

We release in increments your team can use, so requirements are corrected against reality rather than discovered at handover.

01 Align

Discovery & process mapping

We sit with the people doing the work, map the current process, and agree what the first release has to cover.

Process map Requirements Estimate
02 Shape

Architecture & design

Data model, integrations, and interface decided together, with the trade-offs written down rather than assumed.

03 Build

Development in increments

Two-week increments, each one deployed to a staging environment your team can use and comment on.

Staging environment Code review Automated tests
04 Verify

Testing & migration

Functional, load, and security testing, plus a rehearsed data migration and cutover plan before go-live.

05 Operate

Launch, support & handover

Training, monitoring, and an agreed support window, with documentation your own developers can work from.

User training Runbook Support SLA

Weekly demos, a shared backlog, and one point of contact throughout. Estimates are confirmed after discovery.

Technologies

Boring technology, deliberately

We choose stacks with long support horizons and a large hiring pool, so the system stays maintainable long after the project ends.

  • .NET & C#
  • Java & Spring
  • Node.js & TypeScript
  • Python & Django

  • MongoDB
  • Redis
  • Kafka & queues

Cloud & delivery

Running it in production
  • AWS & Azure
  • Docker & Kubernetes
  • Terraform
  • GitHub Actions
  • On-premise hosting

Inherited a system nobody wants to touch? We audit it before proposing anything.

Scope & terms

What you get, how we work together, how long it takes

No surprise line items. Scope, ownership, and support terms are agreed in writing before development starts.

What you get

Every engagement ships with the same baseline.

  • Source code and infrastructure in your accounts
  • Architecture documentation and data model
  • Automated test suite and deployment pipeline
  • Runbook, training, and developer handover

Engagement models

Pick the shape that fits how your team works.

  • Fixed-scope project with milestone billing
  • Dedicated team for a longer roadmap
  • Staff augmentation inside your existing team
  • Support and maintenance retainer

Typical timelines

Indicative only, confirmed after discovery.

  • Internal tool: 8–12 weeks
  • Business platform: 4–8 months
  • Legacy migration: phased, 6 months up
  • Estimates confirmed after discovery
