Your team shouldn't be doing a computer's job.Software that does the boring work, so your people don't have to.

Copying orders from one system into another. Chasing invoices. Updating the same spreadsheet three times. We find the jobs your team does by hand and make them happen by themselves. When nothing ready-made fits, we build what's needed, at a fixed price, and you own it.

For growing UK businesses and founders, and for technology firms that need extra developers.

Start with half a day.

A free business and technology review. We spend half a day with you and the people who do the work, looking at how the business runs, the systems it runs on, and where AI could help.

Half a day with you.
Free. We look at how the work really gets done and where the time goes.
A written note within three working days.
What we found, what we couldn't see in half a day, and roughly what fixing it would cost. If there's one clear thing to build, a working prototype comes with it.
You choose what happens next.
Start on something yourselves, or take one of the two ways below. Every step after this is priced before it starts, and you can stop after any of them.

Book a free half-day review

Then one of two ways.

A system built around how you work.

When there's one clear thing to build: a CRM, a client portal, stock control, a new app, or a system to replace a subscription that only half fits.

Prototype. Within three working days of the review, you see it working on screen, before you've paid anything.
Scoping. £3,000 to £4,000. We refine the prototype with your team and fix the price.
Build. Fixed price. Usually £15,000 to £30,000 for simpler systems, and £30,000 to £60,000 for more complex ones. You own it.

Find out what's worth fixing first.

When there are several problems and no obvious first one, or the answer depends on people we haven't heard from.

Assessment. £2,000 to £4,000, fixed. Two to four weeks. A survey, interviews, a written report and a roadmap.
The work it points to. If you want us to do it, scoped at £3,000 to £4,000, then a fixed price.

Need extra developers?

This one doesn't start with a review.

You've won the work and need good people fast. Developers, designers and cloud engineers, from one person to a managed team, and a product owner if you need one. Under your name if you want.

You've been told you need AI.
Start with the basics.

Most businesses we meet aren't ready for AI yet, and it isn't their fault. Their data sits in five places and their systems don't talk to each other, so AI has nothing to work with. We fix that first: one place for your data, systems that share it, and the manual jobs gone. Then AI can actually help.

It also costs less than it used to.

A few years ago, a system like this could cost £100,000 and take six months. Today, the same system often costs a third of that and takes about two months.

A drain survey company swapped a handheld camera controller for one system that runs the survey kit, manages each job and produces the report, even with no signal on site.

“We appreciated that they kept the user and the core problem at the centre of the work. They understood our mission, and ensured the conversation and development plans stayed on track to address it.”

Why businesses work with us.

Founders close to the work.

The founders stay involved from the first conversation to handover, not just while we're winning the work.

Fixed prices, agreed first.

Every step is priced before it starts, so your budget is predictable. No monthly retainer, no hourly billing, and no surprise invoices.

We'll tell you when not to build.

If something off the shelf fits, or what you have is enough, we say so before you spend the money.

Your data, and your system, stay yours.

Hosted in the UK.

In a cloud account you own, or on your own servers.

Never used to train AI.

We only use AI providers whose terms rule that out, and we tell you in writing which provider and on what terms.

Covered by contract.

A data processing agreement with us and with every provider we bring in.

Tested with you.

You try working software from early in the build, not just at the end, and we hand over only once you've accepted it. We carry professional indemnity insurance.

Nothing depends on us.

You own the code and the data from day one, and it's all documented, so any competent developer can take it over.

The questions people ask first.

What does it cost?

A first conversation and the half-day review are free. An Assessment is £2,000 to £4,000. Scoping any build is £3,000 to £4,000. Builds usually cost £15,000 to £30,000 for simpler systems and £30,000 to £60,000 for more complex ones, at a fixed price agreed before we start. There's no monthly retainer, so there are no surprises in your budget. After that, running it yourselves costs about £3,000 a year, or our support is usually £10,000 to £15,000 a year, less for smaller systems.

How long does it take?

You see a prototype within three working days of the half-day review. An Assessment takes two to four weeks. The time for a build depends on what it does, and it's fixed alongside the price during scoping. Smart Hydration's app took about ten weeks to build.

What happens after the half-day review?

Within three working days, you get a written note: what we found, what we couldn't see in half a day, and what we'd do next. If there's one clear thing to build, it comes with a working prototype and a likely price range. Then you choose: start on something yourselves, have us scope one piece of work, or take an Assessment if you need the full picture first. If nothing is worth doing yet, we say so.

Do we have to buy anything afterwards?

No. The note from the review is yours, and so are the Assessment report, the roadmap and the scope, whoever builds it. If the review shows that building isn't right for you, we say so, and that's the end of it.

Who owns what you build?

You do. The code and the data are yours from day one. Everything is documented, so any competent developer can pick it up.

How do you make sure it works?

You test it with us as it's built. You see and try working software from early on, so problems show up while they're cheap to fix. We hand over only once you've accepted it.

What happens to our data?

It stays yours. It's hosted in the UK, never used to train AI, and covered by contract. The commitments above are the detail.

How quickly can extra developers start?

We usually send a CV within a week, and the person starts within one to two weeks.
