Bespoke applications

Operational software that has to fit your organisation, not the other way round. We design, build and support applications, portals and APIs around the way your people actually work, and we build them to be maintained for years.

Who this is for

Organisations whose work does not fit an off-the-shelf product: a government agency running an application and selection process, an insurer administering members and payments, a manufacturer planning production, a business whose customer journey depends on rules that packaged software cannot express.

If you have ever heard "the system cannot do that" about something your organisation needs to do every day, this is the service.

What we build

  • Operational web applications for staff who process, approve, assess and manage work.
  • Public and customer portals where applicants, members or customers submit, track and update their own information.
  • APIs and integration services that expose your rules and data to other systems safely.
  • Back-office platforms for records, transactions, reporting and configuration.
  • Reusable components such as form engines, reporting engines, validation services and central login with Entitle that your own team can extend.

How we build it

Principle What it means for you
Rules in one place Business rules live in one testable, configurable layer instead of being scattered across screens, scripts and spreadsheets.
Change under control Database change is versioned and deployed with Dubnium; configuration is encrypted in the repository with Cryptex.
Tested end to end Automated tests around the rules that matter, and browser tests with Paxter for the flows your users depend on.
Hosted to suit you Cloud-hosted for most organisations, on-premises where policy requires it, and designed for government and regulated hosting requirements.
Built to be inherited A mainstream, well-supported platform, clean architecture and documentation, so the people who come after us can hire for it and pick it up.

What you get

  • A working system, released in increments you can see from the first few weeks.
  • Source code, documentation and database migrations that your own team can pick up.
  • Automated tests around the rules that matter most.
  • A production support arrangement that suits the system's criticality.
