Build what is missing

One system built around how you work.

Your orders, jobs, clients and documents in one place, built for your business instead of everyone's. Web apps, mobile apps, internal tools and AI that handles the repetitive work.

Now

  • A spreadsheet
  • Three apps
  • WhatsApp
  • An inbox
  • Someone's memory

After

One system. Everyone in it.

Built around your process, with the repetitive part handled for you.

What we build

One system, in the shapes your work takes.

Most companies need two or three of these. We build them as one thing, not five.

  • 01

    Web apps

    The system your team works in all day.

    • Portals
    • Dashboards
    • Client logins
  • 02

    Mobile apps

    For the people who are not at a desk.

  • 03

    Internal tools

    The jobs your spreadsheet is doing badly.

  • 04

    CRM

    Your clients and deals, in your own database.

  • 05

    AI that works

    Drafting, sorting, summarising, answering. The repetitive part.

    • Assistants
    • Automation
    • Document reading
  • 06

    Websites

    The front door, connected to the system behind it.

Signs

You have outgrown your tools.

Any two of these and a custom system usually pays for itself.

  • The same information gets typed into two different apps.
  • Your best process lives in one person's head.
  • A spreadsheet decides something important, and only one person can edit it.
  • You pay for seats so people can look at data they cannot change.
  • Reporting means exporting to Excel first.
  • New hires need a week to learn where things are kept.

How a build runs

You see it early, and often.

  1. Step 01

    We learn the work

    A few sessions with the people who do the job, not just the owner.

  2. Step 02

    Clickable design

    You use the real screens before a line of it is built.

  3. Step 03

    Short build steps

    Working pieces every couple of weeks, in your hands.

  4. Step 04

    Handover

    Code, database and accounts in your name. Care plan optional.

After launch

Keep us, or take it in-house.

Software needs looking after. A care plan covers hosting, updates, backups and small changes, month to month. Cancel it whenever you like: the system is yours either way, and so is the code.

  • Hosting and backups
  • Updates and security
  • Small changes, same week
  • Reporting when you need it

Built already

A few systems we run.

  • Outreach that runs itself

    The email system Calkite runs on: sequences, replies, throttling and reporting, built in-house instead of rented per seat.

  • Sourcing and orders

    A funnel for an e-commerce business: suppliers, quotes and orders tracked in one place instead of across inboxes.
