What we see in Birmingham

Web apps · Birmingham

Birmingham is the UK's second-largest city and has an unusually broad base of small and mid-sized businesses — manufacturing, trades, professional services and retail, often family-run and several decades old. That combination produces some of the most automatable processes we see: long-established, well-understood, and entirely manual.

Distribution and trade businesses around Birmingham usually need the office and the van to see the same information. That is a synchronisation problem before it is an interface problem, and it is where these projects succeed or fail.

Sectors we work with here

  • Manufacturing and engineering
  • Trades and construction
  • Professional services
  • Wholesale and distribution
  • Retail

Also covering

Solihull, Wolverhampton, Coventry, Dudley, Walsall and the rest of the West Midlands. Most of our work is remote with visits where they earn their place.

The service

The work runs on a spreadsheet that only one person understands, and it breaks every time someone new touches it.

What it includes

  • Internal tools and admin dashboards
  • Client and supplier portals
  • Multi-tenant SaaS products
  • Role-based access and audit trails
  • Integration with the systems you already pay for

What changes

  • One place your team works, instead of six
  • Reporting that takes seconds rather than a morning
  • Process that survives someone going on holiday

Common questions

The things people ask before getting in touch.

Ask us something else
What actually happens on the free discovery call?
Ninety minutes, usually with a screen share. You walk us through where you are and what is in the way — whether that is a process eating a day a week, a website bringing in nothing, or a product idea you cannot scope. We ask a lot of questions about the boring parts. Afterwards you get a written shortlist of what is worth building, a rough estimate of what each would return, and an honest note on anything we would leave alone. No charge, no obligation, and the findings are yours either way.
We do not know exactly what we need. Is that a problem?
That is the normal starting point, and it is the reason the call exists. Most people can tell you something is wrong, or that they want to build something, but not which version of it to build first. Working that out is our job, not yours. If you can describe the idea or the frustration, we have enough to start.
How much does a project cost?
It depends on scope, so any number quoted before the diagnosis is a guess. As a rough guide: a single automation or a focused landing page is typically low five figures; a marketing site or a small internal tool sits in the mid five figures; a full product build is larger and usually phased. After the call you get a fixed price for a fixed scope, so there are no surprises mid-build. Figures on the site are shown in pounds by default and can be switched — conversions are indicative, and the invoice currency is agreed before anything starts.
How long does a project take?
A single automation is often live within two to three weeks of starting. A marketing site typically runs four to eight weeks. Web, mobile and desktop applications depend heavily on scope, but we always aim to put something usable in front of you within the first few weeks rather than disappearing for a quarter.
