Custom software and automation
Software that fits how you work, and runs on its own.
Custom apps and web apps, the hand-work automated, and your systems connected. Hosted and looked after by us, if you want.
How we build
Mapped before it is built.
The work starts with the process as it runs today, written down. Automating a sequence nobody has looked at only makes it run faster, so where a better one exists, we say so.
01 / 04
Drawn
We write down each step as your team does it today: what comes in, who checks it, who approves it, what goes out.
What you doYou walk us through the work.
02 / 04
Built
The drawing becomes software: the steps, the checks and the screens your team uses, in the order the work needs.
03 / 04
Running
Work moves through it step by step. Each step shows where an item is and who has it.
04 / 04
On its own
Items reach the end without anyone carrying them there. What it did is on record.
Where to start
Start from the problem you have.
Four kinds of work, one way of building them. Final price fixed in writing after the assessment.
01“We run the business on spreadsheets.”
Custom software
An internal tool, app or web app shaped to the way the work runs, replacing the spreadsheet or the old database. Handed over with the source.
- Internal tools
- Web apps
- Portals
- Yours to keep
02“We re-key the same orders every day.”
Process automation
Invoices, purchase orders and daily checks read and entered without re-keying. Every run is logged, and anything unusual goes to a person.
- Invoices
- Order entry
- Daily checks
03“Our systems do not talk to each other.”
Integrations
Your systems joined, so a record entered once reaches everywhere it is needed. Every run is checked and logged.
- ERP
- Store and bank
- CRM
- Microsoft 365
04“Who looks after it once it is built?”
Hosting and care
Hosted, watched, updated and backed up by us, with restores tested on a schedule. Or handed to your own team, documented, with the source and the access.
- Monitoring
- Off-site backups
- Restore tests
Built before
Built before BI Margin.
A scheduling and records application, built on the Microsoft 365 data an office already used.
A platform that checks backups every day and confirms each week that the restore completes.
A responder that texts callers service information after a missed call.
The data pipeline for a high-frequency trading project: market data in through APIs and on to the statistical models, built for speed.
Behind them: 5+ years of hands-on software development, integration, optimisation and automation.
Source, documents and access are yours.
How it starts
A short conversation, then a fixed scope.
- 01
A short conversation
You describe the process and where it hurts. We tell you whether we are the right fit.
- 02
Systems Assessment
A fixed fee. We map the process and the systems around it, and set out what to build, buy or leave alone.
- 03
Fixed scope in writing
What gets built, what it costs and when it is handed over, agreed before work starts.
Not sold here
Managed IT or helpdesk, staff augmentation, or time billed by the hour.
Next step
Describe the process, not the software.
