Every business runs on processes. Ordering, invoicing, reporting, scheduling, approvals — the list never ends. When these processes rely on spreadsheets, emails, and disconnected systems, inefficiency creeps in. A custom business application changes everything.
Let's discuss how a custom business application could transform your operations and give you a competitive edge.
Most businesses start with off-the-shelf solutions. They're quick to deploy and relatively affordable. But as your business grows, the cracks appear:

Phased migration with zero business disruption
We've built business applications for companies across numerous sectors. Our experience means we understand the specific challenges and compliance requirements of different industries.
Compliance-focused applications with robust audit trails, secure data handling, and integration with accounting systems.
GDPR-compliant patient management systems, appointment scheduling, and secure data sharing between practitioners.
Real-time tracking, route optimisation, inventory management, and supplier integration platforms.
Production planning, quality control, equipment maintenance scheduling, and shop floor management systems.
Learning management systems, student portals, course administration, and assessment platforms.
Order management, inventory synchronisation, customer loyalty systems, and multi-channel integration.
We've been building business applications since 2003. That experience means we've seen what works, what fails, and how to avoid the common pitfalls.
We're not just coders — we're business problem solvers. The technology follows the business need, not the other way around.
Your project is developed by our team in the UK. No offshore handoffs, no communication barriers, no timezone headaches.
We don't disappear after launch. Most of our clients have worked with us for 5+ years, continuously improving their applications.
For well-defined projects, we offer fixed-price development so you know exactly what you're paying. No surprise invoices.
You own 100% of the code and intellectual property for bespoke applications we develop. It's your software, built for your business.
We understand your business inside out. What are your current processes? Where are the pain points? What does success look like?
Our architects design the application structure, data models, and user interfaces. You'll see wireframes and prototypes before any code is written.
We build in iterative sprints, delivering working software every 2-4 weeks. You see progress throughout and can provide feedback.
Rigorous testing ensures your application is reliable, secure, and performs under load before anything goes live.
We handle the technical deployment and train your team to use the new system effectively with comprehensive documentation.
Post-launch, we provide SLA-backed support, maintenance, and continuous improvement as your business evolves.
One of the first questions businesses ask is "how much does custom business software cost?" Here's an honest breakdown based on our experience:
Single-purpose applications with 3-5 core features, single user role or simple permissions, basic integrations.
Timeline: 2-3 months.
10-20 features, multiple user roles and permissions, complex integrations (accounting, CRM, etc.), custom dashboards and reporting.
Timeline: 4-6 months.
Extensive feature set, advanced security and compliance, multi-department or multi-location support, high availability and scalability.
Timeline: 6-12 months.

How long does it take to build a custom business application?
Typical projects range from 2-6 months depending on complexity. A focused workflow automation tool might take 8-10 weeks, while a comprehensive business management system could take 6+ months. We provide detailed timelines during the discovery phase.
Can you integrate with our existing systems?
Yes. Integration is often a core requirement for business applications. We regularly integrate with accounting software (Xero, QuickBooks, Sage), CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot), ERPs, and custom databases. If there's an API, we can integrate with it.
What technologies do you use for business applications?
We select technologies based on your specific requirements. Common choices include React or Vue.js for frontends, Node.js or .NET for backends, and PostgreSQL or SQL Server for databases. All applications are cloud-hosted on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud for reliability and scalability.
Do we own the software you build?
Yes. You own 100% of the code and intellectual property for bespoke applications we develop. It's your software, built for your business.
What happens after the application launches?
We provide ongoing support and maintenance packages to keep your application running smoothly. This includes bug fixes, security updates, and minor enhancements. Many clients also engage us for continuous feature development as their needs evolve.
How do you handle data security and GDPR?
Security is built into every application from the ground up. We implement encryption, secure authentication, role-based access controls, and audit logging. For applications handling personal data, we ensure full GDPR compliance including data portability and deletion capabilities.
Can you modernise our existing business software?
Absolutely. We regularly help businesses modernise legacy applications — whether that's migrating from desktop to web, updating outdated technology stacks, or gradually replacing aging systems while maintaining business continuity.
