Common questions
What kind of work do you do?

We design and build line-of-business systems, web apps, mobile apps and cloud platforms for UK SMEs going through digital transformation — all on the Microsoft stack.

How does an engagement work?

Three principles: we understand the problem alongside your team, a technical project manager visits you to capture requirements, and we deliver continuously with an agile approach. In practice that runs through an eight-stage process from first conversation to handover.

Can you replace our spreadsheets?

Yes — this is one of the most common projects we take on. We replace spreadsheet-based processes with a proper line-of-business system: a single source of truth, real permissions, and an audit trail.

Can you replace our legacy system?

Yes. We've replatformed 10+ year old systems without breaking the business while we did it — migrating live data and rolling out in stages rather than a risky big-bang cutover.

Can you add AI features to my existing app?

Yes. We add AI features to existing Microsoft-stack applications — intelligent search, document extraction, natural-language querying — without a full rewrite.

Do you build mobile apps?

Yes — native iOS and Android from a single .NET MAUI codebase. We've shipped MAUI apps for healthcare, fitness, financial services and field engineering clients.

Can you help with our hosting?

Yes. We host on Azure, architected for the workload — cost-aware, secure by default, with the observability your team needs. Available as an ongoing retainer.

What sectors have you worked in?

Manufacturing, healthcare and NHS, pharmacy, financial services, field engineering, media and publishing, legal and FinTech, recruitment, logistics, construction, marketplaces, retail and engineering.
