Software and Business Systems

The problem

Growing organisations often run core work — sales reporting, admissions, approvals, records, customer requests — through spreadsheets, messaging applications and paper. Information becomes hard to find and verify, and processes depend on individuals rather than systems.

Situations we often see

• A sales team reports field visits by message, and managers rebuild the figures by hand every week.
• An institution manages admissions, fees and results across separate spreadsheets.
• An older application is still essential but difficult to change, host or secure.

What the service covers

• Requirements analysis and process mapping
• Custom business applications and web applications
• Mobile applications for Android and iOS where a mobile workflow is needed
• Workflow, approval and operational systems, including sales-force reporting
• Integration with existing applications through documented interfaces

• Websites and portals that form part of a wider business system
