Custom Software Developers in Surrey

Surrey has plenty of established businesses and plenty of software firms to go with them. What you want to know is who'll actually understand your business, write the thing properly and still be around in five years.

You'll be talking to one of us, not a salesperson.

When off-the-shelf runs out of road

A manufacturer near Woking outgrows a process that lives in spreadsheets. A services firm around Guildford needs something its packaged tools simply can't do. A distributor near Reigate wants its operations joined up at last.

The details differ and the pattern doesn't. The business has grown, the tools haven't, and good people are spending their week working around software.

That's our work: CRMs, warehouse and order systems, booking and quoting tools, and the workflow software that replaces the manual bits.

Everything's written in-house.

No offshore team and no account managers. You talk to Rob or Jase, and the people who scope the job are the people who build it.

We're in Gravesend, round the M25 from most of Surrey, so we won't pretend to be local. Most of the work is remote, and we'll come over for the moments that matter: the first look at how you work, the workshop where we agree what's being built, and go-live.

What we'd want to know first

  • What does the work look like today?

    Who does it, what goes wrong, and what it costs you. We'd rather watch the real process than read a specification.

  • What are you already running?

    Accounts, ERP, stock, CRM. Most projects are as much about joining things up as building anything new.

  • What's the one thing costing you most?

    Start there. You'll see a return before you commit to anything bigger.

  • Would something off the shelf do?

    If it would do 90% of what you need, we'll tell you to buy it, even though it costs us the job.

We've been working with Rob and the team for about 10 years now. They helped us build a completely bespoke CRM from scratch which manages our daily business and is always well maintained.

What we build for Surrey businesses

  • Order and warehouse systems

    Stock, picking, despatch and delivery tracking, built for how your warehouse really runs.

  • Custom CRM

    Built around how you manage accounts, pipeline or cases, not how a vendor assumes you do.

  • Workflow tools

    Job management, scheduling, quoting and sign-off, so the process stops living in one person's head.

  • Integrations

    The packages you already run, joined up so nobody retypes anything. If it has an API, we can connect it.

  • Old systems, moved on

    Ageing databases, Access, COBOL and early PHP brought up to date without stopping the business.

  • Reporting

    Figures that are always current, instead of someone spending half a day in spreadsheets.

How a project runs

We build in two-week steps, each with a fixed price and something you can use at the end of it. You see it, you tell us what's wrong, and you decide whether to carry on.

AI does a lot of the typing now, so those steps get through far more than they used to. Our developers still design it and check every change. Then we stay and look after it.

Questions from Surrey businesses

  • Are you based in Surrey?

    No, we're in Gravesend, Kent. If having someone local matters most to you, say so early and we'll be honest about whether we're the right fit.

  • We've already got a system. Do we have to replace it?

    Usually not. We'd read what you've got first and tell you honestly what's worth keeping.

  • Who owns the code?

    You do, along with the data. If you ever want to leave, we'll hand it over.

  • What happens after it goes live?

    We look after it: fixes, improvements, security updates and hosting, from the people who know your code.

  • How do we start?

    Tell us what's going on. It goes straight to Rob and Jase, and the first chat is free.

Worried about the risk?

You should be. A lot of software projects go wrong, and the usual cause is that everyone agreed on a big plan nobody really understood, and then nobody looked at the work until it was too late.

That's why we don't work that way. You see something working every two weeks, and you can stop at any point with what you've paid for. The first step is small on purpose, so you find out how we work before you've bet the business on it.

It's also why we'd rather improve what you've got than replace it. Working software, however ugly, knows things about your business that nobody wrote down. Throwing that away is a risk in itself, and we won't suggest it unless it's truly the right call.

Why a small team?

Because you want the person who understands the problem to be the person solving it. With us there's no chain of people passing messages. It's Rob, Jase and a few experienced developers who've been doing this for years.
