Need a custom solution?
Elevate your business's efficiency and profitability by implementing tailored technology solutions that streamline your data processing and management. Custom-made systems not only optimise workflows but also reduce operational costs and save valuable time, allowing you to focus on strategic growth opportunities. Invest in technology that meets your specific needs, and watch your business thrive in an increasingly data-driven world.
Custom database systems
Investing in a custom-built database solution can significantly enhance your business’s data efficiency, security, and process management while potentially being more cost-effective than off-the-shelf software. While commercial products often come with high initial costs for licenses and ongoing support, they can also present complexities in implementation and administration, making them difficult and frustrating for users. A tailored solution can address your specific needs, streamline operations, and provide a user-friendly experience, ultimately offering better long-term value.
We keep it simple
We will not recommend a custom system if you do not need it. Certain businesses will benefit from the deployment of a bespoke software solution or CRM system, and equally many will not need one. This is where we come in, we will advise you accordingly without complicated terminology and answer all your questions and queries. If you are unsure either way, give us a call and we will help you analyse your requirements/options and see if it’s worth it for your business. If it is not required or viable we will tell you, it’s that simple.
Level up with CRM
If you’re overwhelmed by managing multiple spreadsheets, we can assist you in upgrading to a robust CRM system and facilitate the seamless migration of all your data, streamlining your operations and improving efficiency.
CRM benefits
CRM systems can improve how your business interacts with your clients by providing an efficient way to organise and automate communication between different departments such as sales, marketing, customer service, and customer support, and key functionality permits users to:
- Store prospect and customer data

- Securely share information with different derpartments/users
- Manage and grow customer relationships to drive sales
- Integration with 3rd party apps incl Outlook, Xero, DocuSign, Google Maps, Mailchimp, QuickBooks etc.

We can build you an entirely scalable database solution that will speed up time-consuming and repetitive business administrative tasks. We build and maintain custom database systems for a wide variety of businesses and organisations who struggled to source and deploy an off-the-shelf system to meet their needs.
Bespoke software development is a custom, tailor-made solution that meets the specific needs of a client, and in many cases, it can more than pay for itself in the short term without the need for recurring and expensive software licensing fees.
25 years of experience
We specialise in designing and implementing complex custom database systems tailored to meet the unique needs of businesses across the UK and beyond, enabling them to harness the power of data-driven decision-making in an increasingly interconnected and competitive landscape.
Each organisation is different and will therefore have different data processes and reporting requirements. In comparison with outdated legacy systems, custom software is purposefully designed to work efficiently and effectively with your requirements compared with an off-the-shelf software solution. When it comes to hosting and backup/disaster recovery protocols for your custom database, we will always recommend appropriate solutions that fit your current infrastructure and processes.
Pricing
The cost of bespoke software is much less than you may think compared to off-the-shelf software systems. Initially, some off-the-shelf solutions may appear to be cheaper, however, they do not offer the flexibility to customise them to your exact data processing needs. The reality is that it will potentially cost a lot more to customise an off-the-shelf system which may still not be fully fit for purpose despite the extra costs compared to what bespoke software development offers.
Each business is different and will naturally have a different set of requirements. We will provide you with a clear and transparent breakdown of costs and offer flexible monthly payment plans to spread the cost of your custom solution.
There are other benefits too. A bespoke software solution will be much easier to maintain and keep in line with any changes to current or future business processes, compared to off-the-shelf software which will incur licensing fees and hefty customisation costs as your processes change and expand. Moving from a paper-based/spreadsheet-based system may sound daunting but we are here to explain everything involved in the migration and will assist in every stage to make the transition as seamless as possible for you and your team.
