Software and systems
Some businesses outgrow spreadsheets and off-the-shelf tools. We build and install software around how you actually work, on infrastructure you control, with the documents and backups a business needs to keep running it.
What we build
- Quoting and CRM. Clients, contacts, quotes built from standard parts, supplier pricing, revisions, outcomes, and documents in Word or Excel.
- Stock, orders and projects. Inventory and reservations, picking slips, requisitions, purchase orders, scheduling, and a simple view for field technicians.
- Roles and permissions. Each person sees and does what their job needs, with sign-in protections built in.
- Integrations and imports. Price-list imports from Excel, data moves from older systems, exports whenever you want them.
How we deliver it
- Review first. If software already exists, we read it, test it and tighten what needs tightening before anything is installed.
- Installed on your server. On a Windows or Linux server you control, reached over your own network or VPN, with an encrypted web front end, a firewall rule for your network only, nightly backups and an hourly health check.
- Handed over in writing. An administrator handover, a staff user guide and a separate handover for your IT provider, with the actions each person owns.
- Licensed and supported. A signed licence file controls access, and an administrator can always export all your data. Updates run with an automatic rollback if anything fails.
Who this suits
- Established businesses that quote, stock and schedule work and want one system for it, kept on their own infrastructure.
- Businesses with an IT provider who need a supplier that hands over properly and speaks to their IT people.
Insights
Why we install software on the client's own server
Cloud is the default, but for some businesses their own server is the better home for their software. Here is how we decide, and what makes it safe.
Backups that are actually backups
A copy on the same disk is not a backup. The three questions we ask about every backup, and why a test restore is the only proof.
