The tech work nobody else wants to finish.
ERP implementations. CRM rollouts. Integrations between systems that were never meant to talk. Migrations without downtime. Custom software when off-the-shelf does not fit. Shipped by senior operators, measured in weeks.
Senior engineers only Fixed scope, fixed timeline Deployed in your real environment
Most tech vendors pitch "digital transformation" and ship PowerPoint.
Your operation runs on systems that do not talk to each other. Excel glues the gaps. A founder's laptop holds the source of truth. A single person knows how it really works — and they are on holiday.
The market's answer is a 12-month discovery phase, a six-figure change-management workstream, and an implementation partner who will be gone by the time anything is live.
We do the other thing: write the code, integrate the systems, migrate the data, and leave you with software that works on Monday.
Eight flavours of engineering work we take end-to-end.
These overlap with AI work on one side and with infrastructure on the other — but every project on this page ships working software into production.
ERP & CRM implementations
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, SAP, Holded, Odoo, Pipedrive, HubSpot. We handle scoping, configuration, data migration, and go-live support. Not a 12-month consultancy project — a working system deployed in weeks.
Integrations & middleware
CRM↔ERP, ERP↔3PL, CAD→ERP, e-commerce→fulfilment, marketing→CRM. We build the plumbing your stack needs, with retries, observability, and a clean audit trail — not brittle Zapier chains that fail at 3am.
Custom software platforms
When off-the-shelf does not fit, we build from scratch. Full-stack web apps, admin backoffices, internal tools, supplier portals, client portals. TypeScript / Python / Node / Preact / Postgres — pragmatic stack, boring choices.
Native mobile apps
React Native for iOS + Android when the use case warrants it: delivery operations, field services, consumer apps. We handle design, backend, store publication and the release pipeline — not just a prototype.
Data pipelines & ETL
Automated ingestion from APIs, databases, spreadsheets and third-party SaaS into a single source of truth. Python + Google Cloud / AWS, scheduled refreshes, and a reporting layer that your team can actually use.
Migrations without downtime
Replatforming, ERP switches, schema migrations on live databases, data rebalancing. We plan the cutover, rehearse the rollback, and keep the factory running while we move.
Cloud infrastructure & DevOps
AWS, Azure, Cloudflare, GCP. Docker, CI/CD, observability, secrets management. We set up environments that your team can deploy to without fear, not architectures that require a PhD to operate.
Automation audits & roadmaps
A 2–4 week technical and process audit that maps where the hours actually go in your operation, scores automation opportunities by ROI, and leaves you with a prioritised roadmap — not a slide deck.
From kickoff to production, no surprises.
- 01Week 1
Technical discovery
We map the real workflow end-to-end: who touches what, which systems are involved, where the data is, where the pain is. Output is a single-page diagnosis, not a 60-page report.
- 02Week 2
Fixed-scope proposal
We pick the highest-ROI slice and write a tight proposal: exactly what ships, what it integrates with, what success looks like, and when it goes live. Fixed price, fixed timeline, no padding.
- 03Weeks 3–N
Build, integrate, deploy
Weekly sprints with working software at the end of each. We deploy into your environment, not a demo sandbox. You see real progress every 7 days and can redirect if priorities shift.
- 04Ongoing
Operate & evolve
Optional monthly retainer for monitoring, incident handling, bug fixes, and incremental improvements. Not mandatory — many clients take the system in-house once it is stable.
Recent tech projects
Custom ERP for event operations — from Excel chaos to centralised, AI-assisted ops.
events handled by the same team
ERP migration to Infor without stopping the factory — plus a CAD→ERP one-click exporter.
unplanned production downtime
From 1 hour per invoice to a proposal PDF in minutes — fully automated analysis engine.
from upload to sendable proposal
Supplier platform — web + native mobile app, full-stack on AWS + Docker, integrated with the core.
connecting thousands of providers as a single SaaS
Native mobile app that routes you to the destination via the best parking — not just the shortest path.
React Native + real-time data backend
Automation audit across a multi-site operation. A priced, ranked roadmap — not a 60-page report.
