Services

Systems that run the business

We design, build, intergrate, and look after the software which organisations depend on every day, from the database up. One accountable partner, from first conversation to long after go-live.

Enterprise Business Applications

Bespoke web applications built around the way your organisation actually works: CRM, trade and partner portals, case management, workflow automation and internal tools.

  • Integration with Finance, ERP and third-party APIs
  • Role-based access, audit trails and reporting
  • Architected to scale with your users and data

E-commerce Systems

B2C and B2B commerce on Shopify or custom-built on Laravel, connected to the systems behind the store so orders, stock and customers stay in sync.

  • Trade accounts, price lists and sales apps
  • Payment gateways including Stripe and PayPal
  • Stock, ERP and fulfilment integrations

Database Design

Well-modelled data is the foundation every good system rests on. We design schemas that stay fast, consistent and easy to report on as the business grows.

  • Data modelling and normalisation
  • Performance tuning and query optimisation
  • Legacy data migration, reporting and GDPR-aware design

Consultancy & Programme Management

Steering technology programmes from business case to delivery, coordinating stakeholders, suppliers and teams so the right thing ships on time.

  • Scoping, planning and requirements
  • Supplier and stakeholder coordination
  • Risk management, go-live and hypercare

Cyber Security & quality

Tested inside and out before go-live

Cyber-security is built into how we work, not added at the end. Every change is proven by our own unit tests before it reaches a client environment, and before launch an independent cyber-security partner puts the system under attack conditions on our client’s behalf.

  1. Build

    Developed with security in mind from the first line of code.

  2. Unit testing

    Every change passes a series of internal unit tests.

  3. Client environment

    Only tested code is deployed to client environments.

  4. Independent

    Stress & pen test

    An external cyber-security company load-tests and penetration-tests the system for our client.

  5. Go live

    Launch with confidence once every stage is passed.

Our independent security partner

  • ISO 27001certified security provider
  • OWASP Top 10vulnerabilities covered in web application testing
  • CISSP · CISM · CEH · CISAqualified security consultants
  • ISO 27001 Lead Auditorscertified on the team
