Software shaped like your business, not like a template
Off-the-shelf software makes you work its way, and the gap between its way and yours is filled with spreadsheets. Custom software goes the other way: it is built around how you already work, including the parts that are unusual.

The situation this fixes
The real system is a spreadsheet. It has grown for years, one person understands it, and it is emailed around in versions with names like final-2.
Two people cannot safely edit it at once. Nobody knows who changed a number or when. And nothing stops a wrong entry, because a spreadsheet has no opinion about what is valid.
What you get
Your process, as screens
The records you keep and the steps they move through, built as they actually work in your business rather than as a generic template assumes.
Accounts and permissions
Everyone gets their own login and sees what their role needs. Salaries, costs and customer data are visible to the people who should see them and nobody else.
Approvals where they matter
Steps that need a manager go to a manager, and nothing moves forward until they act. No more approval by forwarded email.
Entries that have to be valid
Required fields, sensible limits and checks built in, so the common data-entry mistakes are refused at the point of entry rather than found in a report three months later.
The reports your team actually asks for
Not a dashboard of charts nobody reads. The specific summaries and exports your team currently builds by hand every month.
A record of who changed what
Every change is logged with the person and the time. When a number is wrong, you can see how it got that way instead of arguing about it.
Reachable from anywhere
It runs in a browser, so it works from the office, from home and from a phone on site, with no installation on anybody's machine.
Who this suits
- A business whose operations live in a spreadsheet that one person maintains
- Anyone paying per seat for software they use a tenth of and still work around
- A company whose process is genuinely different from its competitors, which is usually why the off-the-shelf option does not fit
How it goes
- 1
A call
What you do today, step by step, including the parts that are messy.
- 2
A written scope and price
Screens, roles and reports listed and priced, so there are no surprises.
- 3
Design you see first
The main screens, approved by the people who will use them daily.
- 4
Build in stages
The core first, in your hands early, so changes happen while they are cheap.
- 5
Handover, training and data
Your existing spreadsheet data is brought across and your team is trained on the real thing.
Questions we get asked
- Can our existing spreadsheet data be moved in?
- Yes, and it usually should be. We look at the spreadsheet during scoping and tell you what will import cleanly and what needs tidying first.
- What if our process changes later?
- It will. That is the advantage of software built for you rather than bought: changes are a change to your system, not a request to a vendor who has other customers to please.
- How long before we can use any of it?
- We build the core first and put it in your hands early, so you are using part of it well before the whole thing is finished.
