Custom Software Engineering

Bespoke platforms, internal tools, APIs and integrations, built to be maintained by your own developers.

Overview

Off-the-shelf software fits most of a business most of the time. The gap is usually where the margin sits, and it is where custom engineering pays for itself.

We build platforms, internal tools and integrations on mainstream, well-supported stacks, with tests and documentation, so you are never held hostage by the only firm that understands the code.

What is included

  • Discovery, requirements and technical specification
  • Solution architecture and technology selection
  • Web platforms and internal business tools
  • API design, development and documentation
  • Third-party and legacy system integration
  • Database design and data migration
  • Automated testing and CI/CD pipelines
  • Code review, security testing and performance tuning
  • Documentation, handover and developer onboarding
  • Ongoing support and feature development

How we run it

  1. 01

    Scope

    Define the workflow being replaced, the users, and the measure of success.

  2. 02

    Build

    Two-week delivery cycles, each ending in working software you can use.

  3. 03

    Launch

    Deploy through an automated pipeline with rollback available.

  4. 04

    Measure

    Measure adoption and cycle time, then prioritise the next block of work.

Questions

Before you enquire

Which technologies do you build on?
Mainstream, well-supported stacks with large talent pools, so you can hire for them. We avoid niche choices that lock you to us.
Can our developers take it over?
That is the intention. Handover includes documentation, a walkthrough and a period of supported transition.
Can you rescue a stalled project?
Often. We start with a code and architecture review and give you an honest continue-or-rebuild recommendation.
