What we build

Tell us the problem. We’ll build the fix.

You don’t need to know what kind of software you need, or how it works. These are the problems we solve most often: what the work looks like today, and what changes once it’s built.

01

Stop typing the same thing twice

We connect the programs you already use so information moves by itself, and set up the follow-ups, alerts and paperwork that happen without anyone lifting a finger.

  1. Today: Orders copied out of email and typed in again

    Once it’s built: Orders arrive in the system on their own

  2. Today: Reminders sent when somebody remembers

    Once it’s built: Reminders go out on time, every time

  3. Today: An afternoon a week building the report

    Once it’s built: The report is ready when you open it

02

Replace the spreadsheet everyone’s afraid of

Spreadsheets are brilliant until the whole business depends on one. A real tool means everyone sees the same up-to-date information, mistakes can be undone, and nothing breaks when someone adds a row.

  1. Today: One file only one person dares to edit

    Once it’s built: One shared tool the whole team works in at once

  2. Today: Copies of copies, and nobody sure which is current

    Once it’s built: Every change recorded, and any of them undone

  3. Today: Colors that mean something to one person

    Once it’s built: The rules built in, not remembered

03

Turn your idea into a product

You’ve built a way of working others in your industry would pay for. We turn it into software you can sell, and keep it improving without breaking anything for the people already using it.

Seen inCenterSuite

  1. Today: A way of working you’ve proved by hand

    Once it’s built: Customers sign up, each in a private space of their own

  2. Today: Other businesses asking how you do it

    Once it’s built: Payments come in every month

  3. Today: Spreadsheets and email holding it together

    Once it’s built: New features go out without breaking anything

04

A website that brings in customers

A website has one job: turning the people who find you into calls, bookings or enquiries. We build each one around that job, connect it to what you already use, and give you a simple editor for the things you change yourself.

How a website project works
  1. Today: A site you can’t change without waiting on someone

    Once it’s built: Hours, prices and photos changed in a minute

  2. Today: Visitors calling to ask what the site should say

    Once it’s built: One clear next step on every page

  3. Today: Bookings in a system the site barely mentions

    Once it’s built: Booking right there in the pages

05

Computers and networks that just work

The computers, Wi-Fi, servers and backups a business runs on, planned for how you work. We can buy and set up new equipment, or take over what you already have, then keep it updated, secure and backed up.

What we set up and look after
  1. Today: Wi-Fi that drops out in the back room

    Once it’s built: A network planned for your space, and written down

  2. Today: Updates nobody has installed in months

    Once it’s built: Every computer updated and secured on schedule

  3. Today: Backups nobody has ever tried to restore

    Once it’s built: Backups tested by restoring them

06

Keep your data under your own roof

Not everything belongs on someone else’s servers. We build software that runs on a machine you own, and set it up to update and back itself up.

  1. Today: Private information on someone else’s servers

    Once it’s built: Software running on a machine you own

  2. Today: Subscription costs that rise with every hire

    Once it’s built: No monthly fee for each new person

  3. Today: Work that stops when the internet drops

    Once it’s built: Work that carries on, and catches up later

07

Apps that work anywhere, even offline

Some jobs happen in a truck, a warehouse or a back room with no signal. We build apps that open straight from a link, sit on the home screen like any other app, and keep working without a connection.

  1. Today: Paper forms filled in out in the field

    Once it’s built: An app on their phone, opened from a link

  2. Today: Typed up again back at the office

    Once it’s built: Entries saved even with no signal

  3. Today: No signal where the work happens

    Once it’s built: Synced the moment there’s a connection

08

Everyone on the same page, live

When several people work from the same thing as it changes, a job board, a schedule, a shared order, every screen should stay in step, and each person should see exactly what they should.

  1. Today: “Is this still current?” texts all day

    Once it’s built: Every screen updates the moment something changes

  2. Today: Two people changing the same list, and clashing

    Once it’s built: Changes from everyone, without clashes

  3. Today: Everyone able to see everything

    Once it’s built: Each person sees just what they should

Where it lives

Your software has to live somewhere.

Where it lives decides what it costs each month, who can see your information, and what happens when the internet drops. We’ll recommend one and explain why in plain terms; you decide.

  • On the internet

    Best for
    Lots of people in lots of places, and software you sell
    The catch
    A monthly hosting bill that grows as you do
  • On a computer you own

    Best for
    Private information, and work that can’t stop when the internet does
    The catch
    It needs looking after, so we set it up to look after itself
  • On the phone itself

    Best for
    Personal information, speed, and nothing to sign up for
    The catch
    Harder to share between several people

Not sure which of these you need? That’s fine.

Describe the problem in a few sentences. Within one working day you’ll hear whether software would fix it, roughly what it would take, and what we’d look at first.
