Build Software

We build software that fit how you work.

Custom cloud software for small and medium businesses — operations platforms, mobile field apps and multi-tenant SaaS, built to measure and built to last.

What we do

Six things we build,
and build properly.

Every system below is something we've shipped and still maintain — not a menu of things we could try.

Business Operations Platforms

One system that carries a job from first quote to money in the bank.

  • Quote → order → contract → invoice pipelines with revisions and approvals
  • VAT handling, configurable document numbering and line-item control
  • Cashflow scheduling, supplier invoices and expense capture
  • Time tracking, dashboards and the reports your team actually opens

Field Service & Mobile Apps

Software that keeps working when the signal doesn't.

  • Job cards, technician dispatch and live scheduling boards
  • Offline-first mobile capture that syncs when a connection returns
  • Photo capture, on-device signatures, GPS and background tasks
  • Inspection checklists, service kits and preventative maintenance

Multi-tenant SaaS Products

Your product idea, built to serve many customers from day one.

  • Tenancy, roles, permissions and per-tenant feature flags
  • Subscription plans, usage limits and eligibility rules
  • Recurring billing through PayPal and PayFast
  • Self-serve onboarding, trials and upgrade paths

Customer & Partner Portals

Give clients a door into your business that isn't your inbox.

  • Separate staff and customer logins with their own permission sets
  • Self-service dashboards, documents and request tracking
  • Embeddable booking widgets for sites you don't control
  • Public APIs with signed requests and generated documentation

Systems Integration

Make the tools you already pay for talk to each other.

  • ERP integration, including Sage Evolution
  • Payment gateways, mapping and routing services
  • WordPress, cloud storage and transactional email
  • Scheduled syncs, import/export pipelines and reconciliation

Legacy Modernisation

Replace the old system without switching the business off.

  • Audit what exists and map a staged migration path
  • Re-front a working monolith module by module
  • Move to modern tooling, tests and automated deployment
  • Keep both systems running until the last one is ready to retire

How we work

Four stages, no surprises

You know the shape of the system and the price before we build it, and you see working software the whole way through.

  1. 01

    Discover & Scope

    We start by understanding how your business actually runs. That becomes an application schematic — the shape of the system, written down — which is what we quote against so the number holds.

    • Requirements workshop
    • Application schematic
    • Fixed proposal & timeline
  2. 02

    Design

    Architecture and interface designed together, on a foundation that can carry features you haven't thought of yet. You see and sign off the screens before anything is built.

    • Data model
    • Interface designs
    • Technical architecture
  3. 03

    Build

    Delivered in short cycles you can watch. Secure, tested and scalable, using the same stack we maintain across every system we run — so there is nothing exotic to support later.

    • Working software each cycle
    • Automated tests
    • Continuous deployment
  4. 04

    Launch & Support

    We help you choose the right cloud infrastructure and take you live. Every build carries a six-month bug-fix warranty, with an optional retainer for updates, monitoring and priority support.

    • Infrastructure setup
    • 6-month bug-fix warranty
    • Optional maintenance retainer

Technology

One stack, maintained across every system we run

We deliberately keep to a narrow set of tools. It means nothing exotic to support later, and anything we build is something we can still fix in five years.
