.02What we ship

Everything your business needs from a tech partner. Under one roof.

Six bespoke capabilities that quietly add capacity without adding payroll. Each shaped to how your team operates. Each owned by you. Full breakdown on the services page.

  • Workflow automations

    Run whole process pipelines, not just tasks. Excel-heavy reconciliations, approval chains, tax prep, audit packs, onboarding, compliance reporting, automated end to end with the audit trail built in.

  • Internal tools & dashboards

    Replace twelve open tabs with one purpose-built tool that mirrors how your team actually operates. Faster decisions, fewer mistakes, one source of truth.

  • Bespoke web apps

    Custom software shaped around your business, not a SaaS template. The exact product your team or customers need. Owned outright, no per-seat bill.

  • Document AI

    Turn invoices, contracts, KYC packs, and inbound emails into clean structured data. Anomalies flagged, the next step triggered automatically. Hours of manual entry disappear.

  • Customer portals

    A branded space where clients log in, track progress, download documents, view statements, and self-serve. Less inbox ping-pong, more trust. On your domain.

  • AI agents

    Autonomous agents that complete multi-step work across your tools. Voice agents that handle your phone line 24/7. In your tone, every action logged, every decision auditable.

.05How we work

Scope. Build. Care.

  1. 1
    30 min · free

    Scope. A free 30-minute call.

    We talk through what you need, sketch the build, and send a written price within 48 hours. No obligation, the brief is yours either way.

  2. 2
    1–10 weeks · fixed price · milestone-billed

    Build. Fixed-scope, milestone-billed delivery.

    Weekly demos. Each milestone is invoiced only after you see it working. No big invoice upfront. Code and docs are yours from line one.

  3. 3
    from £250 / month · cancel any time

    Care. Optional monthly retainer.

    We keep it running: uptime, patches, hosting, bug fixes. Care+ adds a weekly change budget and a monthly review call.

.06What we promise

Four things you can hold us to.

Written into the contract. Surfaced in the invoice. Visible in how we behave when things go sideways.

  • 01

    Direct line to the builder

    A senior engineer picks up the phone. No juniors, no offshore. You get a partner, not a project manager.

  • 02

    Milestones, never hours

    Fixed price written before we start. You're paid for what we ship, not how long it takes. Each milestone is something working before the next is invoiced.

  • 03

    You own everything

    Source, infrastructure, credentials, and docs in your hands from line one. No lock-in. Walk away with the keys any time.

  • 04

    No surprise invoices

    New work returns as a new Build with a new fixed price. Care never silently expands. What you sign is what you pay.

.08Common questions

Questions before you book the call.

See all FAQs →

  • Builds start at £1,500 (Core), £4,500 (Growth), or £9,500 (Transformation). The scoping call is free. You get a written price within 48 hours.

  • Milestones, never hours. We agree a fixed price before we start, broken into milestones tied to working deliverables. You see each milestone working before the next is invoiced. No day rates, no hours-and-materials, no surprise invoices.

  • Build is one-time, fixed-scope project work, you keep what we ship. Care is an optional monthly retainer from £250 to keep it running, secure, and current. New work always returns as a new Build, never a silent retainer expansion.

  • No. Care is optional and cancellable any time, no minimum term. Many clients take a Build, run it themselves, and come back for a second Build later. That is fine.
