Application Development

Software shaped around how you actually work.

Custom and low-code applications, integrations and modernisation, planned with your teams, built in short cycles and handed over with the code, so you're never locked in.

Build paths

Three ways to build. We'll help you pick the right one.

The right approach depends on how unique the process is, how fast you need it and who will look after it. Many solutions combine more than one.

Visual development platforms with ready-made building blocks for forms, workflows and data, extended with code where needed.

Best for
Internal apps, approvals, forms and workflow automation
Speed
Usually the quickest route to a working first version
Flexibility
High within the platform's limits; custom components fill the gaps
Looked after by
Your IT team or trained power users, with governance in place
Typical tools
Power Apps and Power Automate, OutSystems, Mendix, Retool

What we build

From the first sketch to the hundredth release.

Planning & architecture

We turn business needs into requirements, a solution architecture and a technical roadmap before a line of code is written.

Requirements analysis / Solution architecture / Technical roadmap

Custom software

Tailored business applications and features that automate the work your off-the-shelf tools can't.

Business applications / Feature development / Workflow automation

Integration & modernisation

APIs that connect your systems, and legacy applications rebuilt or moved to cloud-native platforms.

API connectivity / Legacy upgrades / Cloud-native solutions

Testing & optimisation

Functional and performance testing before release, then maintenance and improvements after it.

Quality testing / Performance tuning / Maintenance & enhancements

Delivery

Working software every two weeks.

After a short discovery, we build in two-week sprints. You see and test real software at the end of each one, so priorities can change before they get expensive.

  1. Discover & design

    2–4 weeks. Requirements, user journeys, architecture and a prioritised backlog.

  2. Build in sprints

    Two weeks each. Build, test and demo, then reprioritise with you.

  3. Release

    User acceptance testing, deployment and training for the people who'll use it.

  4. Improve

    Ongoing. Monitoring, support and new features based on real usage.

Quality

Built properly. Yours completely.

Every application ships with the practices that keep it reliable, secure and easy to change, and the source code lives in your repository from day one.

  • Automated testingUnit, integration and end-to-end tests run on every change.
  • Peer code reviewNo code reaches production without a second engineer's review.
  • CI/CD pipelinesRepeatable, automated builds and deployments.
  • Security testingGuided by OWASP practices, before every major release.
  • AccessibilityDesigned and tested against WCAG 2.2 level AA.
  • Documentation & handoverArchitecture, runbooks and code your team can maintain.

FAQ

Questions teams ask before a build.

Can't find what you're looking for? We're happy to talk it through.

Ask us a question
Should we use low-code or custom development?

It depends on the process. Low-code is usually fastest for internal apps, forms and workflows. Custom code suits customer-facing products and complex logic. Extending a platform you already own, such as your ERP or CRM, keeps data and users in one place. We recommend a path during discovery, and many solutions combine more than one.

Which technologies do you work with?

Low-code platforms such as Power Apps, OutSystems, Mendix and Retool; web, mobile and back-end technologies such as React, Angular, .NET, Node.js, Java, Python and Flutter; any major cloud, including Azure, AWS and Google Cloud; and extension frameworks for platforms such as Dynamics 365, Salesforce and ServiceNow.

Who owns the code and intellectual property?

You do. Source code lives in your repository from day one, and you receive the documentation needed for your own team or another partner to maintain it.

How do you estimate cost and timeline?

After a short discovery we produce a prioritised backlog and estimate it. Most clients choose to fund a first release with the most valuable features, then plan further releases based on real usage.

Can you modernise a legacy application?

Yes. Depending on the application we rehost, refactor or rebuild it, often in stages so the business keeps running while the new version takes over.

Can you integrate a new app with our existing systems?

Yes. We connect applications through APIs and integration platforms so data flows between your ERP, CRM, finance and other systems without re-keying.

How do you make sure the app is secure?

Security is part of design, code review and testing, guided by OWASP practices. We also apply your organisation's identity, access and data policies, and can arrange independent penetration testing before launch.

Do you support applications after launch?

Yes. We offer ongoing support, monitoring, maintenance and enhancement, or a structured handover if your own team will take it on.

Have a process that needs its own app?

Tell us what it needs to do. We'll recommend a build path, outline the first release and estimate the effort.
