Business applications
Replace fragile spreadsheets, inbox workflows and ageing internal tools with software designed around the day-to-day operation.
Custom software development around the real business workflow.
We design, build, integrate and improve business applications and SaaS products, joining product thinking, engineering and dependable cloud delivery in one practical team.
Custom software earns its place when off-the-shelf tools create more work than they remove. We start with the people, process and outcome, then build the smallest maintainable system that solves the whole useful problem.
From awkward process to working software.
We can take on a complete build, work alongside an internal team or improve an existing application that has become difficult to change.
SaaS product development
Turn a validated product idea into a secure, supportable platform with sensible scope, architecture and a clear path to production.
Systems integration
Connect applications, services and data so information moves reliably and teams stop re-keying or reconciling it by hand.
Workflow automation
Automate repetitive operational work while keeping approvals, exceptions and the information people need visible.
Application modernisation
Improve an existing system's architecture, reliability, security and delivery process without discarding useful business knowledge.
Technical product leadership
Bring product priorities, technical decisions and delivery reality into the same plan when a team needs experienced direction.
What a sensible development engagement looks like.
No enormous specification written before anyone tests the risky assumptions. We make the important decisions early and keep useful software moving into users' hands.
Understand the work
Map the users, workflow, data, integrations, constraints and outcome before choosing the shape of the solution.
Prove the hard parts
Test the risky technical and product assumptions early enough to change direction without wasting the budget.
Ship useful increments
Build in manageable slices, put them in front of real users and keep quality, security and operability in the work.
Leave it supportable
Use clear architecture, automation, documentation and handover so the product can keep changing after launch.
We operate software as well as building it.
Our own products, SmartGig and SmartCellar, keep us close to the unglamorous parts of product delivery: support, reliability, changing requirements and decisions that still look sensible after launch.
Tell us what the software needs to make easier.
Bring the workflow, the constraints and the rough version of the idea. We will help shape a useful next step.
