What we build

If your team does it by hand, it can probably be simpler

A few of the things we build. Yours will be shaped around your business, not the other way round.

  • 01

    Replace your spreadsheets

    One shared system instead of a workbook everyone edits, with your existing data brought across, like the CRM we built for Mortgage Mantra.

  • 02

    Customers and sales (a CRM)

    Every customer, enquiry and deal in one place, with reminders so nothing slips through the cracks.

  • 03

    Bookings and appointments

    Customers book online, your diary fills itself, and everyone gets reminders automatically.

  • 04

    A portal for your clients

    A secure login where clients see their documents, progress, invoices or orders, without emailing you to ask.

  • 05

    Quotes, jobs and invoices

    Create quotes, turn them into jobs and send invoices from the same place, with the numbers worked out for you.

  • 06

    Reports at a glance

    Income, sales and workload on one screen, up to date, instead of rebuilding a report every month.

  • 07

    The right people see the right things

    Different access for owners, staff and partners, two-step sign-in, and a record of who changed what.

  • 08

    Connected to the tools you use

    Linked to your email, accounts software, payment provider or website, so information is entered once.

How it works

Four simple steps

Here's exactly what happens, what you do and what we do, from first hello to your team using it every day.

  1. 01

    Have a free chat

    You
    Tell us how things work today and what wastes the most time. Bring the spreadsheet if there is one.
    We
    Listen, ask questions and tell you honestly whether custom software is worth it for you.

    Reply within 2 business hours

  2. 02

    Get a plan and a price

    You
    Read it, ask us anything, and say yes when you're happy.
    We
    Map out what the system will do, in plain English, with the price and a timeline.

    Nothing starts until you agree

  3. 03

    We build it in stages

    You
    Try each part as it's ready and tell us what to change. Your feedback shapes the next stage.
    We
    Build the most useful part first, so you can start using it sooner, then add the rest.

    Usually 8 to 12 weeks or more

  4. 04

    Your team starts using it

    You
    Learn it with your team. We show everyone how it works.
    We
    Bring your existing data across, put it live, and keep improving it as your business changes.

    We stay on hand afterwards

Step 1: tell us how you work

Answer a few easy questions

The same questions we'd ask on a call. No technical words and nothing to prepare: if you're not sure about one, just skip it. It takes about 2 minutes, with no obligation.

A few words is fine, like “a dog grooming salon” or “an accountant for small firms”.
Takes about 2 minutes

Getting ready

What we'll need from you

Not much. If you don't have something yet, that's fine: tell us on the call.

  • How things work today, step by step (a rough description is fine)
  • The spreadsheets, forms or documents you use now
  • Who will use the system, and what each person needs to see
  • The tools it should connect to, like your email or accounts software

The technical bit

You don't have to choose the technology

We pick the right tools for your system and explain why. For the curious, here's what we use:

  • Laravel for business systems, portals and dashboards with secure logins.
  • React and Next.js for fast, app-like screens and customer-facing tools.
  • A real example the case and commission CRM we built for a London mortgage broker.

Questions

Questions people ask us

Something else on your mind? Ask us. Every plan and price is on our prices page.

Do I need to know anything technical?

No. You know how your business works, and that's what we need. Describe it in your own words and we turn it into a plan, explaining every choice in plain English.

How much does custom software cost?

It depends on what it needs to do, so we quote per project after a free call, and you know the price before anything starts. If budget is tight, we can start with the part that saves the most time. Prices exclude VAT.

How long does it take?

Usually 8 to 12 weeks or more, depending on the size. Because we build in stages, you can often start using the first part sooner.

Isn't there an app I could just buy?

Sometimes, and if an off-the-shelf tool fits, we'll say so. Custom software makes sense when you're bending your business to fit a tool, paying for lots of features you don't use, or juggling several tools that don't talk to each other.

What happens to our existing data?

We bring it across. For Mortgage Mantra we imported their whole Excel workbook into the new system, so they didn't start from scratch.

Is our data safe?

We build in secure sign-in (including two-step sign-in), different access for different people, and a record of who changed what. The system is private: only the people you invite can use it.

Can it grow with the business?

Yes. Because it's built for you, new features can be added as you need them, and we stay on hand to keep improving it.
