01  /  Services

Five offerings. Plain descriptions.

Consultancy, new systems & apps, legacy modernisation, integrations, support contracts. Fixed-price where it can be, T&M where it has to be, senior engineers either way.


02  /  Consultancy

Consultancy.

Independent technical advice — architecture and system reviews, due diligence, and senior engineering leadership, with or without a build attached.

Sometimes the work isn't a build — it's a decision. Whether to rewrite or refactor, what an inherited system is really worth, why the last project ran aground, how to structure a team that's about to scale. We bring senior engineers who have made those calls before, and give you a straight answer rather than a proposal for more work.

That covers architecture and system reviews, technical due diligence on a platform you're buying or investing in, build-versus-buy guidance, and fractional or embedded technical leadership where you need senior oversight without a full-time hire. The deliverable is clarity — a written assessment, a costed roadmap, or a steer your own team can act on.

Consultancy often comes first, before any build. Just as often it stands alone: we're happy to advise and walk away, and we'll tell you plainly when the system you already have is fine as it is.

  • · Architecture & system reviews
  • · Technical due diligence
  • · Build-vs-buy guidance
  • · Fractional / embedded leadership
  • · Costed roadmaps
  • · Independent assessment

03  /  New systems & apps

New systems & apps.

Greenfield builds — web platforms, internal tools, native mobile apps, and progressive web apps. For businesses with critical or specialised workflows.

When the off-the-shelf option doesn't fit — because the workflow is too specific, the integrations are too awkward, or the compliance burden is too high — we build the system from scratch. That means web platforms and dashboards, internal tools and admin systems, native mobile apps for iOS and Android (Capacitor-based, sharing a single codebase with the web side), progressive web apps where installable web is the right fit over native, and the API-first backends that hold any of the above together.

Discovery first. We sit down with the people who'll use it, document the actual workflow, and agree what good looks like before a line of code is written. Then a fixed-price proposal, an architecture, and incremental delivery into production.

Native mobile is the right call when offline operation, device features (camera, GPS, biometrics, BLE) or app-store presence matter. A PWA fits when cross-platform reach and rapid iteration matter more than store distribution. Web is the right answer when the work is desktop-first, internal-use, or workflow-heavy enough that a keyboard and a big screen are the point. Most engagements end up with two of the three, sharing an API.

  • · Web platforms & dashboards
  • · Internal tools & admin
  • · Native mobile (iOS / Android via Capacitor)
  • · Progressive web apps
  • · API-first backends
  • · Fixed-price proposal
  • · Production from sprint one

04  /  Legacy modernisation

Legacy modernisation.

Lifting VB.NET, Classic ASP, COBOL and similar systems into modern stacks without breaking what works.

Old systems carry the business. The right answer is rarely a big-bang rewrite — it's a planned, monitored, reversible migration that keeps the lights on while the new system grows around the old one.

We know the stacks: VB.NET, Classic ASP, COBOL, old SQL Server, IIS. We've moved them forward incrementally without losing a transaction, missing a report, or asking the business to stop while we work.

  • · Stack assessment
  • · Strangler-fig migration
  • · Incremental rewrite
  • · Zero-downtime cutover

05  /  Integrations

Integrations.

Connecting systems via SOAP, REST, GraphQL, message queues, MQTT, OPC UA, HL7 and FIX.

Most enterprises don't need another system — they need the systems they already have to talk to each other properly. Audit trails that survive review, retries that don't double-post, and an integration layer the on-call engineer can read.

We work across the protocols you'd expect in regulated and operational environments: HL7 in healthcare, OPC UA and MQTT on the factory floor, FIX in trading, SOAP and REST everywhere else.

  • · HL7 / FIX / SWIFT
  • · REST / SOAP / GraphQL
  • · OPC UA / MQTT
  • · ETL & message queues

06  /  Support contracts

Support contracts.

Ongoing maintenance, monitoring and incident response — from the team that wrote the code.

Software is never finished. We stay attached to what we build, written into the contract — the same people who wrote the code answer the phone when something breaks at four in the morning.

Support covers monitoring, capacity planning, incident response, security patching and steady reduction of technical debt. It runs alongside the build work, not as a separate sale.

  • · Monitoring & alerting
  • · Incident response
  • · Capacity planning
  • · Tech-debt reduction

07  /  Engagement model

Discovery → Proposal → Build → Support.

The shape of every engagement, regardless of which of the five services you start with.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    A real conversation with the people who use the system. We document the workflow, map the constraints, and tell you honestly whether we can help.

  2. 02

    Fixed-price proposal

    Scope, price, timeline, deliverables — written down. No T&M creep, no surprise change orders mid-build.

  3. 03

    Build

    Incremental delivery, production from sprint one. You see the work as it lands; we ship until the work is done.

  4. 04

    Support

    Same team, same phone number. Maintenance, monitoring and incident response written into the same contract as the build.
