Secure portals, custom software and the support around them

Home/Services

What we do

Eight services, one engineering standard

Most clients arrive with one problem and stay for the rest. Each service below stands alone, and each is delivered by the same people to the same standard.

01 / SERVICE

Web portals & platforms

The core of what we do. A portal that consolidates the records, approvals and day-to-day operations currently spread across email, shared drives and whatever spreadsheet the office manager guards.

Role-based accessAudit loggingSingle sign-onOffline-tolerant
Built on a proven core

You start from a working system and we configure it, rather than paying us to rediscover how permissions and audit trails should work.

Fast on real connections

Optimised for the bandwidth your staff actually have, including older machines on internal networks.

Accessible by default

Keyboard navigation, screen-reader labels and colour contrast that meets WCAG AA, tested before release.

Yours to take over

Source code, architecture notes and runbooks are handed over as standard, not sold as an add-on.

02 / SERVICE

AI & automation

Applied to the specific, boring, expensive tasks where it earns its keep. We start by measuring how long something takes today, then automate it and measure again.

Document extractionWorkflow routingInternal assistantsPrivate deployment
Document extraction

Pull structured fields out of scanned forms, invoices and reports, with a human review step for anything below a confidence threshold.

Intelligent routing

Classify incoming requests and send them to the right person or queue, without a rules engine nobody can maintain.

Internal assistants

A question-answering layer over your own policies and documentation, so staff stop asking the same five people.

Deployed where you choose

Self-hosted models or a private cloud tenancy when your data can't leave your control.

03 / SERVICE

Mobile applications

For the people in your organisation who don't sit at a desk. Field staff, drivers, ward nurses, site supervisors — the ones a web-only system quietly excludes.

iOS & AndroidOffline syncPush notificationsOne shared backend
One backend, two clients

The app talks to the same API as your portal, so data never diverges and you maintain one set of business rules.

Works without signal

Local storage with conflict-aware sync, for basements, warehouses and rural sites.

Store submission handled

We manage the App Store and Play Console process, review responses and release cadence.

Device management ready

Compatible with MDM enrolment where your organisation manages company devices.

04 / SERVICE

Systems integration

Connecting the things you already run. Most organisations don't need fewer systems — they need the ones they have to stop lying to each other.

REST & GraphQL APIsERP connectorsHL7 & FHIRLegacy middleware
Documented interfaces

Every integration ships with a written specification, so the next engineer isn't reverse-engineering your business.

Failure handled explicitly

Retries, dead-letter queues and alerting, because third-party systems go down and silence is the worst outcome.

Legacy included

Fixed-width files, SOAP endpoints and databases nobody has touched since 2011 are normal work for us.

Standards where they exist

HL7 and FHIR in healthcare, ISO 20022 in payments, rather than inventing a bespoke format.

05 / SERVICE

Cloud & IT support

The unglamorous work that determines whether a system is still healthy in year three. Monitoring, patching, backups that have actually been restored from.

24/7 monitoringPatch managementRestore testingWritten SLAs
Response times in writing

Severity levels and response commitments are in the support agreement, not implied on a pricing page.

Backups that get tested

A backup you have never restored is a hypothesis. We run scheduled restore drills and report the results.

Proactive patching

Security updates applied on a schedule, with a staging environment so nothing surprises you in production.

A named engineer

Someone who knows your architecture picks up the phone, rather than a first-line queue reading a script.

06 / SERVICE

Data migration

Usually the part that sinks a project. We treat it as its own workstream with its own sign-off, not as a task at the end of the build.

Paper & scansSpreadsheet extractionLegacy databasesReconciliation
Reconciled with you

We produce a match report your team signs off before go-live. Nothing is assumed correct because it imported without error.

History preserved

Old records keep their original timestamps and authorship rather than all appearing to have been created on migration day.

Nothing discarded

The source data is archived intact and handed back to you, so a decision made today is reversible tomorrow.

Dual-running supported

Where it matters, the old and new systems run in parallel until you're confident enough to switch.

07 / SERVICE

Dedicated teams

When you need capacity rather than another product. Senior engineers and designers who join your sprints, use your tooling and follow your standards.

Senior engineersProduct designersFlexible durationYour process
Senior only

We don't staff junior developers against senior rates. Everyone we place has shipped and maintained production systems.

Inside your process

Your repository, your review standards, your stand-ups. We adapt to how your team works rather than importing ours.

Overlapping hours

Working hours arranged to overlap meaningfully with your team's, wherever you are.

Handover built in

Knowledge transfer is scheduled from the start, so the engagement ending doesn't leave a hole.

08 / SERVICE

Brand & product design

Identity and interface work for organisations whose credibility isn't yet visible from the outside. Design systems, not one-off mockups.

IdentityDesign systemsInterface designContent & copy
A system, not a picture

Type scale, colour tokens, spacing and components documented so your site and product stay consistent as they grow.

Built to be built

Designs are handed over with real specifications and working components, not a static file and good luck.

Copy included

Interface writing is part of the design, because half of what makes a screen usable is the words on it.

Accessible from the start

Contrast, focus states and touch targets are decided in design rather than patched in QA.

Engagement models

Three ways to work with us

Pick the one that matches how much certainty you have. Most clients start with the first and move to the third.

Fixed scope

Defined project

A written scope, a fixed price and a delivery date. Best when you know what you need built and want budget certainty. Change requests are priced separately and agreed before work starts.

Retained

Ongoing partnership

A monthly retainer covering development, support and a set amount of new work. Best once a system is live and evolving. Cancellable with 30 days' notice.

Embedded

Team augmentation

Engineers who join your team, your repository and your process for a defined period. Best when you have the direction and need the hands.

How we work

Live in six weeks, not six quarters

Big systems fail when they arrive everywhere at once. We ship a working slice early, prove it with real users, then expand on a schedule you control.

01
Week 1–2

Discover

We sit with your team and map how work actually moves — including the paper forms and side spreadsheets nobody mentions in meetings.

02
Week 3–4

Configure

Roles, permissions, forms and data structures are set up to match your organisation. Existing records are migrated and reconciled with you.

03
Week 5–6

Pilot

One department goes live with hands-on support. Training happens in short sessions on real shifts, not a full-day workshop.

04
Month 2 onward

Scale & support

Departments come online one at a time. Support continues after handover — you are not left with a login and a PDF.

A short call, an honest assessment, and a written scope — whether or not you end up working with us.
