Web apps and custom software, built properly.

We build web applications and bespoke software, and help you decide what's worth building in the first place.

What we do

  • Web and mobile applications

    Full-stack apps your customers and team rely on every day, like e-commerce platforms, customer portals, booking systems, dashboards and internal tools.

  • Custom development

    The glue between the systems you already pay for, automations that replace spreadsheets and copy-and-paste, and internal tools shaped around how your team works. Or your next software product, built from the ground up.

  • Hardware and prototyping

    When off-the-shelf kit won't do the job, we design and build custom devices end to end. Circuit boards, firmware, enclosures and fabrication, through to field-ready prototypes and the software that runs them.

  • Technology consulting

    Straight advice before you spend money on what to build, what to buy off the shelf, and what to leave alone. We'll also review an existing system or codebase and map out a sensible way forward.

What we're building

Two products for the UK emergency services, both on the way.

Frontline999

Coming soon

A bespoke multi-vendor marketplace for trusted emergency-service brands, with multiple sales channels including retail, business, and in-person sales. Supports automatic payouts to vendors, transferring orders and designs to third-party manufacturing providers, simple revenue management with exports that can be used with popular accounting systems, and a mobile app for order fulfilment and site management.

SHFTRS

In testing

An app for police officers and staff in England and Wales. It puts the rota, overtime, TOIL and pay next to sleep, food, training and the people at home. Proud to be part of the team that tests and audits the codebase, and supports the backend infrastructure, to provide a secure product that can be relied upon by the people that keep us safe.

How a project runs

  1. Get to the root of it

    You walk us through what's getting in the way. We ask a lot of questions until we understand the real problem, not just the symptom.

  2. Shape the answer

    We work out the right fix (sometimes it's less software than you'd expect) and agree scope, timings and cost before any code is written.

  3. Build, test, repeat

    You get working versions early and often. Try them, tell us what's off, and we refine until it does the job properly.

  4. Go live

    We deploy, move your data across and keep a close eye on the first few weeks, so launch day is the boring part.

  5. Keep it moving

    Hosting, fixes and security updates, plus new features as your business changes. We don't disappear after launch.

Who we work with

When a project needs more than code, we team up with two studios we trust. 87px look after digital design, film, and visual identity. Lead Your Own Narrative Social manage your social media and build your online presence.
