Apps and tools

It is held together by spreadsheets.

And one person who knows how.

Booking systems, calculators, dashboards and internal tools, built around how your business actually works rather than how software thinks it should.

Where you probably are

Three things owners say to us in the first meeting

“Three people retype the same data.”

Admin that exists only because two systems do not talk to each other. Invisible on the accounts, and expensive in hours.

“Customers ring us for a price.”

Every quote that needs a human is a quote somebody else answered faster. A calculator on the site captures the enquiry and the detail with it.

“Only one person knows how it works.”

A process living in somebody's head is a risk, not a system. When they are on holiday, it stops.

The honest version

Building software is slower and dearer than buying it.

If something off the shelf does the job, we will tell you to buy it. We build when the off the shelf version would cost more in workarounds and licences than the tool would cost to make.

Book my free scoping call

Free, written, and yours whether or not we ever speak again.

What you get

Six things, each described by what actually happens

A scoping call before anything is quoted

What you do by hand, how often, and what it costs in hours. Half the time the answer is a setting in software you already pay for.

Web apps built around your process

Booking, scheduling, quoting or tracking, shaped to how you work rather than forcing the work to fit the software.

Calculators and tools that capture enquiries

A price, a quote or an answer given instantly on your site, with the enquiry and all its detail arriving with it.

Dashboards that pull it together

One screen with the numbers from the systems you already use, so nobody exports a spreadsheet to answer a simple question.

Integrations, so the systems talk

The connections between your website, your CRM and whatever else you run, so data gets entered once.

Support, and the code is yours

We maintain it, and the code, the repository and the accounts are in your name. You are not locked in to us, which is rather the point.

Proof

What we did, and what it moved

Our apps and toolsSeven tools, each built to fix a real problem

Where it started

Your data lives in spreadsheets. Leads sit in inboxes. Customers don’t know what happens next, so your enquiries arrive as confused customers rather than hot leads.

There is probably a tool we can build to fix that.

What we did

We build tools and apps that solve problems: financial calculators, a full guest app for a glamping business, social media and ad creators, and health and safety compliance apps. Each one starts with a job someone does by hand, and ends with that job done for them.

What it moved

  • Your data in one place. No more copying between spreadsheets, or relying on the one person who knows how it works.
  • Leads that get followed up. Every enquiry is captured, given an owner and tracked, not left in an inbox.
  • Customers who know what happens next. Guests book, pay and manage their stay themselves, without ringing you.
  • Answers on the spot. Calculators give a price or an answer straight away, and capture the enquiry while they do.
  • Hours back every week. Site safety documents are written in minutes rather than hours.
  • Built around how you work. Shaped to your process, with the code and accounts in your name.

How it works

Three steps, and the first one costs nothing

01

The free scoping call

Thirty minutes on what you do by hand and what it costs you. You get our honest answer on whether to build, buy, or leave it alone.

02

A plan with an order to it

What it does, what it does not, what it costs and when it lands, written down before anybody starts.

03

We do it, and report monthly

We build it in stages, so you see it working early rather than at the end, and then we support it.

What is included

Every month, in writing

Scoping, specification and a fixed scope before any build

Design and build, delivered in stages you can see

Integrations with the systems you already run

Hosting, backups and monitoring, if you want us to

Support and changes after launch

Every account and all the code in your name, from the first day

How this is bought

Tools are quoted per project rather than monthly, and they sit inside the wider ways of working when one is part of a bigger plan.

The audit is how we work out which one fits, which is why it comes first and costs nothing.

Ways to work with us

Questions we get asked

The ones that come up every time

How long does it take?

A calculator or a small tool takes a few weeks. A booking system or an internal app takes months. We build in stages, so you are using something long before the end.

Could we just buy something off the shelf?

Often, and we will say so. We build when the off the shelf version would cost more in workarounds and licences than the tool would cost to make.

What if we want to take it elsewhere?

Then you take it. The code, the repository and the hosting are in your name from the start. We would rather you stayed because it works.

We had something built before and it was never finished. Why would this be different?

Because it is built in stages, with something usable at the end of each one. Projects die when the first thing anybody sees is the finished article, six months late.

Who owns the work if we stop?

You do. The site, the accounts, the profiles, the content and the data are all in your name from day one, and they stay with you if you walk away. Nothing we build sits on an account you cannot log into.

Is this right for my business?

If somebody in your business repeats the same task every week, or customers wait for an answer a computer could give, yes. If not, we will tell you to save your money.

Who actually does the work?

We do, in Liverpool. You get the name of the person on your account, and nothing is sent somewhere else without you knowing about it.

Next step

Find out whether a tool is worth building

Thirty minutes on what you do by hand, how often, and what it costs. You get an honest answer on whether to build, buy, or leave it alone.

There is no charge and nothing to sign. If the answer is that you do not need us, that is a perfectly good outcome.

No budget question, because the audit is free either way.

The other services

Most of this work overlaps. If you are not sure which of these you actually need, the free audit will tell you, and it will tell you what order to do them in.
