Internal tools
The systems that run your operation day to day — scheduling, quoting, tracking, admin.
Software that fits your business, not the other way round
Off-the-shelf tools force you to change how you work. We build systems that match your process exactly, and hand you the code to keep.
6–12 weeks To first working version
100% Code and IP transferred to you
Every 2 weeks Something you can use and test
Capabilities
What this covers
Customer portals
Give customers a place to check orders, upload documents and self-serve instead of emailing you.
Web applications
Full products with accounts, permissions, payments and reporting.
System integration
Connect the tools you already pay for so data stops being re-typed between them.
Replacing old systems
Move off ageing software in stages, so the business keeps running throughout.
Spreadsheet replacement
Turn the critical spreadsheet only one person understands into a proper system.
Deliverables
What you get at the end
Built so your team can run and extend it without us. That is what a good handover looks like.
- Working application, live and in use
- All source code in your own repository
- Automated tests so changes do not break things
- Documentation written for your team
- Training and handover sessions
Typical technology
Chosen per project against what you already run and what your team knows — never out of habit.
- TypeScript
- React
- Next.js
- Node.js
- Python
- PostgreSQL
- Stripe
How we choose technology
Ways to start
How to get started
Start small. A fixed-price first step gives both sides real information before anyone commits a build budget.
Scoping
Workshops, a clickable prototype and a costed plan. Yours to keep whether or not we build it.
Build
Fixed price or monthly team. Something working every two weeks, not one reveal at the end.
Support
Fixes, improvements and a named person who knows your system.
Do we own the code?
Yes, entirely, from the first day. It sits in your repository and runs on your accounts. There is no licence to renew and nothing stopping you from taking it elsewhere.
How much will it cost?
Scoping is a fixed price and ends with an itemised number for the build, broken down by what each part buys you. Scope drives the figure far more than anything else, so we would rather scope it properly than quote blind.
Should we buy something off the shelf instead?
Often you should, and we will say so. Buy the parts of your business that are ordinary. Build the part that makes you better than your competitors.
Can you work with our existing developers?
Yes, and we often do. We use your repositories and your tools, and slot into your existing way of working.
