Custom Software

How much of your team's week goes on work software should be doing?

Repetitive tasks, manual processes, the spreadsheet nobody dares touch. We build the thing that takes it off them, so they can get on with growing the business instead.

Free 30 minutes. No pitch, no obligation.

Custom Software

Every growing business collects work that shouldn't need a person. The same figures keyed into two systems. A report someone rebuilds by hand every Monday. Jobs chased over email because nothing tells you where they are. None of it feels big on its own, and all of it runs every week, forever.

Add it up and it is usually days a month. That is time your team could spend on customers, on quality, on the things that actually grow the business, and instead it goes on admin nobody enjoys.

So we find where the hours go and build software that takes them back. Shaped around your process rather than bent into someone else's, owned outright by you, with no per-seat licence that grows every time you hire. If a task is repetitive, manual or slow, it is usually solvable.

We're based in Leicester and Huddersfield, and we work with businesses across the Midlands, Yorkshire and a fair way beyond. Happy to meet in person if that helps, happy to keep it to a call if it doesn't.

Talk to us
How much of your team's week goes on work software should be doing?

This is probably you if

  • Your team loses hours every week to work that never changes.
  • The same information gets typed into more than one place.
  • Your software nearly fits, and people fill the gap by hand.
  • Growing means hiring more admin rather than winning more work.

Sound familiar? We'll tell you honestly whether we can help.

Tell us what's going on

What that involves

Discovery and process mapping

We sit with the people doing the job and map what actually happens, which is rarely what the process document says.

Bespoke applications

Built for your workflow rather than bent into someone else's idea of it.

Dashboards and reporting

The numbers your team needs, in one place, without exporting three files first.

Automation

The repetitive steps handled for you, with a human check wherever a mistake would be expensive. This is usually where the time comes back first.

Integrations

Connected to the systems you already run, so nothing gets typed in twice.

Support and iteration

Software is never finished. We stay on to fix, extend and improve it.

“Highly recommended 628, we had great support on developing a fresh/modern new website. We've already had some big client wins since the site launched.”
Dr Benjamin Moore Principal Scientist at Excellerate Bioscience
Who you'll be working with

Meet the people who'll actually do the work.

Why people choose us

Why people choose us.

Plenty of studios can build you a website. Here's what tends to make the difference.

You talk to the people building it

Founder-led, so there's no account manager relaying your question to someone you never meet. Decisions get made in the same conversation.

A fixed price before we start

You get the number up front, after a free call. No day rate quietly ticking over and no invoice that surprises you at the end.

You own all of it

Code, designs, hosting, repositories. No proprietary platform you can't leave and no licence that grows every time you hire someone.

We'll tell you not to spend

If a tidy-up solves it, we'll say so rather than sell you a rebuild. We'd rather lose the bigger job than take money for something that won't pay back.

Offices you can actually visit

Leicester and Huddersfield. Happy to sit down with you and map the thing out in person, happy to keep it to a call if that's easier.

We stay after launch

We watch how it performs, fix what surfaces and keep improving it. We don't hand over and disappear the week after you go live.

Questions, answered.
