Custom software and integrations.
Software written around how your business actually works, and APIs that connect the systems you already use.
When you need custom software development
Where do your systems fail to talk to each other?
Off-the-shelf software suits common work. When your process is different, or your systems don't share data, staff fill the gaps by hand. We write software around the way your business actually works, and build integrations so your CRM, accounting and operations tools stay in step.
- Off-the-shelf software forces your team to work around it.
- Data has to be moved between your CRM, accounting and operations tools by hand.
- A third-party service needs connecting to your own systems securely.
How the work runs
-
01
Analyse
Document the systems involved, the data that moves between them and the rules it follows.
-
02
Design
Choose the integration approach and agree how failures are detected and handled.
-
03
Build
Write the software with automated tests that cover the business rules.
-
04
Operate
Deploy with logging and alerts so problems surface before users notice them.

Questions about custom software development
-
Should we buy software or have it built?
Buy it when a product fits how you work. Build it when the product forces workarounds, or when the value lies in connecting your systems. We'll tell you which applies in your case.
-
Can you connect systems that don't have an API?
It depends on the system. Options include file exports, direct database access and scheduled imports. We document each connection and how its failures are handled.
-
What happens when an integration fails?
We agree how failures are detected and handled at the design stage. Logging and alerts mean problems surface before your users notice them.
-
How do you keep business rules correct?
We write automated tests that cover the business rules, so a change in one place that breaks another is caught before it reaches production.
