Most large organisations run on a mix of ageing core systems, packaged software bent out of shape, and spreadsheets filling the gaps between them. We build the custom systems and integrations that close those gaps (internal tools, back-office platforms, multi-tenant products) and modernise the legacy pieces without a big-bang rewrite.
Organisations whose processes have outgrown the software that was meant to run them.
A core system built years ago still runs the business. It works, but the people who understand it are leaving, changes take months, and nothing new can talk to it.
Approvals, reconciliations and reporting happen in Excel and email because the packaged software does not fit the process. Errors are found late and nobody is sure which version is current.
You are turning an internal system or a proven service into a multi-tenant product and need tenancy, billing, permissions and data isolation done correctly the first time.
These are the engagements we take on most often. Larger programmes usually combine modernisation with integration and a set of internal tools.
Replacing an ageing system piece by piece using the strangler pattern: new capabilities are built alongside the old one, traffic is routed over one function at a time, and the legacy code is retired once nothing depends on it. It applies when the system is too important to switch off and too costly to keep as it is.
Connecting the software you already run (ERP, CRM, HR, payroll, finance, warehouse) so data is entered once and flows where it is needed. It applies whenever teams re-key between systems or reports disagree because each system holds its own version of the truth.
Purpose-built applications for the processes packaged software handles badly: approvals, case management, procurement, scheduling, reporting. It applies when the workaround has become a spreadsheet nobody dares to change.
Turning an internal system or a proven service into a product other organisations pay to use. Tenancy model, data isolation, billing, plan limits and self-service onboarding are decided at the architecture stage, because they are expensive to retrofit.
Role- and attribute-based permissions, single sign-on with your identity provider, and immutable logs of who changed what and when. It applies to any system that regulators, auditors or your own risk team will ask questions about.
Moving records from the old system to the new one without losing, duplicating or silently altering them. It applies to every modernisation and most integrations, and it is the part most likely to slip if it is treated as an afterthought.
A named project manager, a written plan, weekly reporting and a single point of contact for the duration.
Threat modelling during design, dependency scanning in the pipeline and a code review pass before anything handles production data.
Architecture decision records, runbooks and admin guides written for the people who will run the system after we leave.
Retainer or per-incident support once the system is live, including upgrades to frameworks and dependencies.
Source code, infrastructure and documentation sit in your accounts and repositories from the first commit. No licence fees, no lock-in to us.
We do not do big-bang rewrites. Each phase delivers something that runs in production and can be measured, and the plan is adjusted from what we learn.
Permissions, logging and data handling are designed in at the start rather than bolted on when the auditor arrives.
We map your systems, data flows and manual workarounds, review the legacy codebase where there is one, and agree what the first phase should be.
A written architecture, integration inventory, migration sequence and phased plan with a cost range for each phase.
Delivered in increments that go to production; integrations and migrations tested against real data with reconciliation before cutover.
Documentation, training for your administrators and engineers, and a support arrangement that suits how you operate.
Everything runs in accounts you control from the first commit. Ending an engagement is an access change, not a migration.

Yes. A defined workflow can form the first delivery phase, with its data and integration requirements assessed before other departments or systems are added. Our Design Pals CRM is an example of a platform built around a business's own operations.
