Trusted by teams already running our tools
Every business has a handful of jobs that nothing off the shelf quite does — so they get done by hand, in spreadsheets and Word templates, by the people you can least afford to have doing them. We build the software that does those jobs instead.

Different businesses, same four problems. Almost every project we take on starts as one of these.
The weekly or monthly pack that gets assembled by hand — exports pulled, tabs stitched together, formulas patched where last month's broke. It is the same work every time, which is exactly what software is for. We build it once, connected to live data, so it is ready when you open it.
More on dashboards and reportingQuotes, fee proposals and the packs that go out under your name. These are the ones that hurt twice: slow to produce, and expensive to get wrong in front of a client. We turn the pricing logic into software, so the document comes out right, on brand, in minutes.
More on document generationChasing enquiries that went quiet. Chasing timesheets. Logging what was quoted, what was won and what actually got done. None of it is difficult and all of it is relentless, so it slips — and the cost of it slipping is invisible until something is missed.
See what we automateA board pack, a director's view, a report that goes out to clients. The difference with a built system is that it does not just show you last month — you can filter it live and answer the follow-up question in the meeting, instead of promising to look into it.
Try a live demoIncluding the bits that only live in one person's head. Most of the value is in getting this part right, which is why we do not bill it separately.
A working version with your real process in it, not a slide deck. If it is not going to help, that is the point at which we would rather find out.
Each stage is quoted and agreed on its own, so you can stop whenever the remaining work stops being worth it. Nothing is built that you have not asked for.
“Now I can pick my kids up from school on a Friday rather than working late on our business reports.”
Safer Sphere — fee proposals cut from 1½ hours to ~10 minutes after we automated their fee estimating.
Reporting built across a network of franchisees — so head office can see the whole picture and each franchise can see its own, from the same live numbers.
Off-the-shelf software asks you to change how you work to suit the product. Bespoke software is built the other way round — around the process your team already follows, including the parts that make your business different. For most SMEs the honest answer is a mix: keep the off-the-shelf tools that fit, and build custom software only for the work that does not.
No, and we would usually advise against it. We connect to the accounting, CRM and project systems you already pay for and build on top of them. Ripping out working software is expensive and rarely the reason the admin is slow.
We work in stages and aim to get something usable in front of your team early rather than disappearing for months. A single well-understood workflow is typically weeks, not quarters, and you see it working before the next stage is agreed.
It depends on how much time the manual version costs you. If one person loses an afternoon a week to a report, that is roughly six working weeks a year on one task. Custom software stops being a luxury at the point where the admin is cheaper to automate than to keep doing.
You do. There are no per-user licence fees and no lock-in — if you ever want to take it elsewhere, the code is yours. See pricing for what a project costs and what drives the number.
Tell us the job that eats the most time. We will tell you whether software would fix it, roughly what it would cost, and if it is not worth doing we will say so.
