What we are engaged to do.

Six areas of work. Most projects draw on several of them, and the first conversation is usually about working out which.

01

Custom web platforms

Business systems and customer facing products built as web applications, from a single internal tool to a full multi user platform.

Most companies reach a point where spreadsheets, shared inboxes and off the shelf software stop fitting how the business actually runs. We build the system that fits, and we build it so it can keep changing as the business does.

Typically includes

  • Customer portals and account areas
  • Internal operations and admin tools
  • Booking, scheduling and workflow systems
  • Dashboards and reporting
  • Payment and subscription billing integration
02

Mobile applications

Native quality applications for iOS and Android, taken through the full App Store and Google Play release process.

Shipping a mobile app is two jobs. Building it is the first. Getting it through store review, signed, versioned and updatable without breaking the people already using it is the second, and it is where most projects stall. We do both.

Typically includes

  • iOS and Android from one codebase
  • Offline capable and low connectivity handling
  • Push notifications and deep linking
  • In app purchase and subscription handling
  • App Store and Google Play submission and review support
03

Backend and cloud architecture

The database design, APIs and infrastructure that sit under an application and decide whether it stays reliable as it grows.

The architecture decisions made in the first month are the ones that are expensive to reverse in the second year. We make them deliberately, document why, and leave you with infrastructure that a future engineer can pick up without a rewrite.

Typically includes

  • Database design and data modelling
  • API design and third party integration
  • Authentication, roles and access control
  • Cloud environment setup and deployment pipelines
  • Monitoring, logging and backup strategy
04

Automation and AI integration

Removing the manual steps between your systems, and applying AI where it does real work rather than where it demonstrates well.

Automation earns its place when it removes a task somebody currently does by hand every week. We start from that task, not from the technology, and we are direct about the cases where automation is not worth the complexity it adds.

Typically includes

  • System to system integration and data sync
  • Document and reporting automation
  • AI assisted search, drafting and classification
  • Scheduled jobs and background processing
  • Migration off manual and spreadsheet based processes
05

Technical consulting and review

An independent read on an existing system, a proposed build, or a development team you are about to commit budget to.

Sometimes the useful engagement is not a build. It is an honest assessment of what you already have, what it will cost to keep, and whether the plan in front of you is sound before the money is committed.

Typically includes

  • Codebase and architecture review
  • Security and data protection assessment
  • Technical due diligence on a system you are taking on
  • Build versus buy analysis
  • Scoping and estimation for a planned project
06

Support and maintenance

Ongoing responsibility for software that is already live, whether we built it or inherited it.

Software does not hold still. Dependencies age, platforms change their rules, and traffic grows. A maintenance arrangement means somebody is accountable for that instead of it surfacing as an emergency.

Typically includes

  • Dependency and security patching
  • Platform and store policy compliance updates
  • Uptime monitoring and incident response
  • Performance tuning as usage grows
  • Scheduled improvement work

Not sure which of these you need?

That is a normal position to be in, and working it out is part of the first conversation rather than something you should have to arrive with.
