N°01 Sound familiar?

Your business has outgrown spreadsheets and sticky tape.

Off-the-shelf software makes you work its way, charges per user forever and never quite talks to your other tools.

Spreadsheets everywhere

Critical data in ten spreadsheets, and nobody trusts which is current.

Paying for tools that don’t talk

Six subscriptions, endless copy-paste and per-user fees that keep rising.

Software that doesn’t fit

Workarounds for every step because the tool wasn’t built for your process.

No real-time view

Finding out how the business is doing takes a day of pulling reports together.

N°02 What we build

N°09 Questions

Custom software FAQs.

Still wondering? Ask Nova, our AI assistant (bottom right), or book a free consultation.

Why custom software instead of off-the-shelf?

Off-the-shelf tools make you work their way and charge per user forever. Custom software fits your exact process, joins up your tools and you own it. If an off-the-shelf tool would genuinely suit you better, we’ll tell you.

How long does it take?

You’ll click through a prototype within the first week. A first working version typically follows in three to eight weeks, depending on scope.

How much does custom software cost?

Every project gets a fixed price after a free consultation. Because we build AI-first, it’s a fraction of a traditional development agency, and you can start small.

Who owns the code and data?

You do, completely. No lock-in and no per-user licence fees.

Where is it hosted? Is it secure?

On secure cloud hosting in the UK or EU, with encryption, role-based access, backups and UK GDPR-compliant data handling.

Can you move our data from spreadsheets or an old CRM?

Yes. We migrate and clean your existing data as part of the project.

Will it work with Xero, Outlook and our other tools?

Yes. We integrate with accounting, email, calendars, payments and most tools with an API.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. Everything we build works on desktop, tablet and phone, and we can build dedicated mobile apps for field teams.

What support do you offer after launch?

Training for your team, plus monthly support plans covering hosting, updates, fixes and new features.

Can we start small?

Absolutely. Many clients start with one module, like a CRM or booking system, and add more over time.
