Bespoke Software Development

Bespoke Software Development

Software that fits the way you work, not the other way round. Off-the-shelf systems make you change your processes to suit them. I build software around the way your business actually runs, for manufacturers, printers and logistics companies that have outgrown spreadsheets and generic packages.

When off-the-shelf stops fitting

Most businesses start with a standard package and a few spreadsheets. It works, until it doesn’t.

The ERP can’t record the thing your shop floor actually needs to track. The CRM was built for someone else’s sales process. Jobs get tracked on whiteboards and paper travellers. And the same information gets typed into three different places by three different people.

You don’t need to replace everything. Often the answer is one well-built application that fills the gap and connects to the systems you already have.

Testimonials

What our clients say about us

  • James has looked after our business systems for many years, covering email, the network, our CRM and job recording. I’m not a technical person, and James has always made everything simple for us. He explains things in plain English, sorts problems quickly, and nothing is ever too much trouble.

    The biggest difference has been the custom software he developed for our CRM and job recording. I handle most of the data entry myself, and James built it around exactly how we work, so it’s quick, straightforward and saves me a lot of time every week. Having someone we trust who knows our business inside out has been invaluable. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.
