Software development without the drama
Predictable delivery. Transparent pricing. Systems you can rely on.
You've probably heard the pitches before. Ambitious timelines. Impressive demos. Promises that everything will be delivered on time and on budget.
And then reality hits. Timelines slip. Costs creep up. Communication breaks down. You end up with something that sort of works but nobody's proud of.
We do things differently. We tell you what's realistic upfront. We show you progress every two weeks. We build systems that work, that scale, and that your team can rely on in twelve months, not just in a demo next week.
Built for today. Ready for what comes next.
Most businesses aren't looking for "AI-built software" or cutting-edge experiments. They're looking for software that:
- Solves real operational problems
- Integrates with existing systems
- Is easy to maintain and evolve
- Does not collapse under scale or change
That's what we build.
We use modern tools, including AI where it genuinely helps, but we never trade reliability for speed. Every system we deliver is owned by you, understood by humans, and built to last.
Systems that matter to your business
Not technology for its own sake. Software that solves real problems.
Business-critical platforms
Custom systems that support core operations, customer journeys, and internal teams. Designed for clarity, reliability, and long-term evolution.
Data and reporting systems
Applications that turn operational data into insight. Dashboards, automation, and AI applied where it genuinely adds value.
Web and mobile applications
Well-architected products built with longevity in mind, not just speed to launch. Customer-facing or internal.
Platform modernisation
Upgrading or replacing legacy systems without disrupting the business underneath them. Careful migration, not risky rewrites.
What projects typically cost
We believe you should know what you're getting into before the first conversation.
Most of our projects fall between £30k and £150k.
That typically gets you:
- A properly scoped system that solves a real business problem
- Professional design and architecture
- Clean, maintainable code you own completely
- Documentation and knowledge transfer
- Support through launch and beyond
Smaller projects (£20k-£50k) are possible for focused tools or extensions to existing systems. Larger programmes exist too, but we'll always recommend starting smaller and proving value first.
We don't do cheap-and-cheerful. We don't do enterprise-priced-for-SMEs either. We aim for fair value: serious investment, serious results.
A delivery model designed for peace of mind
Our approach is designed to reduce uncertainty at every stage. You always know where things stand and what's coming next.
- Clear scope and success criteria before we start
- Transparent pricing - no surprise invoices
- Incremental delivery with visible progress every two weeks
- Early identification of risks and dependencies
- No vendor lock-in - you own everything
- Clean handover and documentation
During delivery, you get regular updates that show progress, surface risks, and explain next steps. Nothing is hidden. Issues get addressed early, not deferred.
After launch, we offer structured support with clear SLAs if you need it. Or we hand over completely - your choice.
How we use AI, pragmatically and safely
AI helps us work faster and catch problems earlier. We use it for discovery, code review, testing, and documentation.
What we don't do:
- Promise entire platforms built in days
- Replace engineering judgement with prompt chains
- Trade quality for speed
- Hand you something no one understands
AI is a tool, not a magic wand. We use it to deliver better results, not to cut corners.
A good fit if you value certainty
- You've been burned before by a software project that went sideways
- You're tired of vendors who overpromise and then make excuses
- You need something built properly, not a quick hack that falls apart later
- You want to understand what's happening without needing a technical background
- You have budget for a proper solution (£30k+) and want it spent wisely
We work with established businesses where software decisions have real consequences.
If you're looking for the cheapest possible build, or a rapid prototype with no long-term plan, we're probably not the right fit.
If you want software you can trust as your business grows, we usually are.
“We are deeply grateful to Khiliad for their dedication and understanding of JARVIS's mission - to empower our teams with a tool that adds value, not burden. Their commitment to vision is evident in the quality of the MVP delivered, laying a strong foundation for our future success.”
Not sure if you're ready to build?
That's a fine place to start a conversation.
We'll help you work out whether to build, improve, automate, or wait - and we'll be honest if software isn't the answer yet.
Book a call. No pitch deck, no pressure. Just a practical conversation about what you're trying to achieve.
