Bespoke software and AI automation for UK businesses

We design and build the CRM, ERP, internal tools and integrations that companies run on, and automate the admin around them. A London team, a fixed price before we start, and software you own outright.

What we build

Three kinds of work, each built around how your business actually runs rather than a template. Not sure which fits? Describe the problem and we will tell you.

AI and automation

Automation that removes repetitive admin, with people kept in control of decisions.

Where the hours go, and what changes

Most businesses we talk to are not short of software. The time disappears in the gaps between tools. We map how the work flows, then build one system around it.

Today

  • Jobs and orders tracked in a spreadsheet only one person understands
  • The same details typed into two or three systems
  • Customers and colleagues chasing updates by phone and email
  • Reports assembled by hand every week

With a system built for you

  • One system with a single record for every job, order or customer
  • Accounts, e-commerce and email connected, so nothing is re-keyed
  • Live status that customers and staff can see for themselves
  • Reports and routine admin generated automatically
Guide: replacing spreadsheets with a proper system

How a project runs

The same four stages on every project, so you always know what happens next and what you will have at the end of each. Our methodology

  1. 1

    Discovery

    We sit with the people doing the work and map how it really flows.

    You get
    A written summary of findings
    Typical time
    1 to 2 weeks
  2. 2

    Fixed-scope proposal

    What we build first, what we leave out, the timeline and the price.

    You get
    A proposal you can compare
    Typical time
    A few days
  3. 3

    Fortnightly releases

    Working software every two weeks. Priorities can change between releases.

    You get
    A staging link from week two
    Typical time
    Typically 8 to 16 weeks
  4. 4

    Launch and support

    Data migration, training, then fixes and improvements as you grow.

    You get
    Documentation and handover
    Typical time
    Ongoing, optional

Sectors we know well

We work across most sectors. These are the ones where we know the systems, the regulation and the vocabulary best.

How much does a bespoke system cost?
It depends on how many processes, users and integrations are involved, so we do not publish a price list. After discovery you get a fixed price for a clearly defined first release. We will also tell you if an off-the-shelf tool would do the job for less.
How long does it take?
Most first releases take between 8 and 16 weeks. Smaller tools and integrations can be quicker; larger systems are delivered in phases so your team starts using the most valuable part first.
Can it work with the tools we already use?
Usually, yes. We connect to accounting, e-commerce, CRM and email tools such as Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, Shopify, HubSpot and Microsoft 365 through their APIs, so data moves between systems without re-keying.
Who owns the software?
You do. The code, the data and the hosting accounts are yours, and we hand over repository access and documentation, so you are never locked in to working with us.
Do you work with small businesses?
Yes. Most of our work is for small and medium-sized UK businesses. If a project is too small to justify custom software, we will say so and point you to a better option.

Tell us what you want to fix or build
