Our Services
We specialise in three areas of software development: Cloud-Based Software Solutions; Smartphone/Tablet Apps; and Bespoke Middleware.
When we develop, we build on the structures and work we've done previously. So even if we're building something completely new for you, we'll do our best not to "start from scratch". We design solutions for all platforms, including iOS, Android, Windows, and Linux, or leverage .NET MAUI for cross-platform compatibility.
We have the skills to help you put together your Business Functional Requirements documents, but we're equally happy to work with your previously developed documentation. While we'll always work collaboratively with you on the Technical Specifications (if you're interested in documenting them), we'll review and adjust them to make sure they match our Development process.
Our expertise spans over 30 years in technical Research and Development, and we are skilled in a variety of technologies including PHP, C#, Swift, JavaScript, Node.js, and SQL.
Bespoke Cloud-Based Software Solutions
Software vendors like to think that their software can be all things to all people. It's easier for them to write software when they can assume that businesses and their processes will all fall into neat little categories. In the real business world, this doesn't often happen. Over the last thirty-five years of working with hundreds of different businesses, we've encountered only a handful of businesses who do things in a similar, cookie-cutter way.
Businesses need a way to distinguish themselves in the marketplace from their competitors and it almost always comes down to differentiation through service offerings. And depending on how distinctive you make those service offerings, sometimes using Out Of The Box software just isn't sensible or even possible.
We build Cloud Based Software that helps your business fill those gaps. If you need to integrate our solution to another software package, we're happy to also do that for you (provided the software allows for integration). We can capture data that your ERP or other software may not be capable of including, so that you can then report on it or use it to enhance your customer offering.
This is your purpose-built software solution, specifically designed around your business needs. You can host your solution yourself, or we can host it for you. If you self-host, you'll have no ongoing fees, other than if or when you need us to provide support or make changes.

Bespoke Smartphone or Tablet Apps
It's no surprise to any business to learn that smart device usage has been gradually surpassing desktop interactions. Our relationship with technology is evolving and consumers expect businesses to be “App-ready” or “web-ready”.
As business practices shift, transitioning internal systems from paper-based methods to digital solutions is more crucial than ever. While including every business process in your ERP might not always be feasible, a bespoke app or web portal designed for smartphones or tablets can deliver substantial ROI, especially when it integrates seamlessly with your ERP system.
We specialise in creating custom, business-specific Apps and Web Portals that align with the changing technology environment.
We design products for any operating system, including iOS, Android, Windows and Linux, or use technology such as .NETMAUI to create apps that can work across all environments.
Whether you need a customer-focused solution or a tool to streamline internal processes, we’re here to help you design, develop, and deploy a product that reduces costs and enhances customer satisfaction. Plus, we can handle the necessary ERP or system integrations for you.

Bespoke Middleware
Most software products now provide open APIs. These open APIs are designed to let you integrate between packages, where an Out Of The Box integration doesn’t already exist.
Depending on the software on either side; if no data mapping is required; and the authentication protocols needed are compatible; you may be able to use these APIs to directly connect the two software packages. However, more often than not, it’s not that simple and some form of Middleware is required.
Middleware is the bridge between the two packages which can map data based on each package’s requirements, as well as handle the authentication between the two systems.
Critically, Middleware can also give you a way to audit and manage the successes and failures of the packets of information that you’re sending and receiving.
Productised Middleware can be quite pricey, while also relying on you having dedicated internal resources to manage it. This is why we’ve developed a tailored Middleware solution, which is cost effective and simpler for you to manage internally.
Our API Integrator is a single platform that can easily and simply integrate multiple applications. Data is retrieved from one application, then collated, mapped and sent to another. The API Integrator can integrate any application with an exposed API or any simple IP protocol. We can easily configure it to retrieve data from multiple sources, collate them and then send them to the requesting application. We can also perform complex workflows that require moving data between multiple applications. Our API Integrator will handle the authentication processes, as well as tracking, managing and auditing the information packets sent or received; flagging failures; and providing you with the ability to resend a packet, as needed.
The API Integrator can either be self hosted or hosted in the cloud, in our secure environment.
