Wickford, Essex

Custom Software Development in Wickford

Wickford is a practical town: commuters, trades and light-industrial firms on estates like Hurricane Way. A lot of good businesses here run on an accounts package and a stack of spreadsheets that quietly stopped keeping up a while ago. That's what we fix.

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

Wickford's quiet software problem

It's rarely dramatic. Stock and orders get rekeyed between an ageing package and a spreadsheet. Despatch or scheduling depends on one person who can't ever take a holiday. The off-the-shelf tool almost fits, and almost is what's costing you.

We fix the specific points where that's costing you time and money: the report that takes half a day, the data typed in twice, the process that lives in someone's head. We do it carefully, and we don't rip out everything that still works.

Start with the one process costing you the most. Fix that first.

Just across the Thames.

Our office is in Gravesend, about 14 miles from Wickford in a straight line, or around 25 by road over the Dartford Crossing.

Most of a project happens remotely, because that's where the code is. You talk to Rob or Jase directly and the small team behind us does the building.

When being in the room helps, we come over: the first proper look at how your business runs, the workshop where we agree what's being built, and the day it goes live.

Who we've worked with nearby

We can't point to a client in Wickford itself. We can point to several within about 20 miles of it, on both sides of the Thames, and the work will sound familiar if you run an established business round here.

  • An Essex professional services business

    Came to us after ongoing issues and delays with its previous developers. We took over all of its websites and bespoke software.

  • A catering equipment hire company in Barking

    We linked its catering database to a new website.

  • A port terminal and warehousing operator in Northfleet

    Just along the river from us. We redesigned and modernised its warehouse management system.

  • A specialist concrete contractor in London

    We've upgraded and redesigned its web platforms over more than two years.

None of them started with a blank sheet of paper. There was a system already, it mostly worked, and the job was fixing the parts that didn't.

After ongoing issues and delays with our previous developers, we brought in Rob and Jason to take over all our websites and bespoke software. What a breath of fresh air.

What we build for Wickford businesses

  • Stock and order systems

    Stock, order and despatch systems for light-industrial and trade firms, fitted to how you operate.

  • Workflow tools

    Job management, scheduling, quoting and sign-off, so the business stops depending on one person's memory.

  • Old systems, modernised

    Ageing databases, Access, COBOL and early PHP moved on without stopping the business.

  • Integrations

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

  • CRM

    Built around how you really manage accounts, pipeline or cases.

  • Reporting

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

Why not someone closer?

You might find one. Wickford is a town of small and light-industrial firms rather than a software cluster, and most of South Essex's tech sits over in Chelmsford and Basildon. That can leave a practical business here without much help on the doorstep.

What you get from us is a UK team that's been doing this since 2011, a fixed price for each step, and Rob and Jase on every job. More about our work across Essex.

Questions from Wickford businesses

  • Are you based in Wickford?

    No, we're in Gravesend, around 25 miles away over the Dartford Crossing. Most of the work runs remotely, and we're close enough to pop over when it helps.

  • 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 what's worth keeping.

  • 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 to Rob and Jase, and the first chat is free.
