Custom software

Custom software that fits your business, on a monthly subscription

Whether your current software doesn't fit or your business still runs on spreadsheets, we build an app around how you actually work. It's in your own branding, from £400 a month + VAT, with no large up-front project fee, and simpler apps live in as little as two weeks.

Problems

  • You pay for features you don't use

    The ones you actually need still aren't there.

  • Your team works around the software

    Spreadsheets and side notes fill the gaps, so nobody trusts the numbers.

  • It doesn't speak your language

    Someone else's terminology and processes make it harder to use, and staff avoid it.

  • The business runs on spreadsheets and email

    Everything works until someone's off or a file gets overwritten.

  • Information lives in too many places

    Jobs, people and costs sit in separate tools, and someone re-keys it all.

  • Bespoke software felt out of reach

    Big up-front quotes left you stuck with tools that half fit.

FAQ

How much does it cost?

From £400 a month plus VAT. Unlike a traditional bespoke build, there's no large up-front project fee.

Is it really custom at that price?

Yes. It's built around your rules and workflows, not a template with your logo on it.

Do we own the software?

You subscribe to it rather than buy it, like off-the-shelf software, except it's built around your business. You can export your data whenever you like.

What happens to our existing data?

We bring it across when you switch.

How long until we're up and running?

Simpler apps can be live in as little as two weeks, depending on what you need.

Are we tied into a contract?

No long lock-in. Contracts can be as short as rolling monthly, with as little as one month's notice.

What happens if we stop subscribing?

Give as little as a month's notice, and export your data before you go.

Is our data secure and GDPR compliant?

Yes. Data is hosted in the UK and every app is GDPR compliant.

How do we start?

We start with a short chat, then a free discovery session. We design around your process, then build and run it on a monthly subscription.
