Consulting
A straight answer on your technology.
Where technology is holding the business back, what to fix first and what it will cost, from people who have built business software for decades.
- Plain words, no jargon
- The plan is yours to keep
- No obligation to build with us
When to call us
Before you spend money on software
Most expensive software mistakes are made before anything is built. The usual ones:
- Buying a package that doesn't fit how you work
- Choosing a supplier on price, then paying twice
- Solving with software what needed a process change
- Paying for five systems that do the same thing
We look at how your business actually runs and give you a plain plan: what to keep, what to replace, what to build, and in what order. You can take it to anyone.
What we help with
Consulting
Quoted for the job once we know what you need looked at.
Systems review
Where time and money leak between your people, spreadsheets and systems.
- e.g. the same order typed into three places
Build, buy or keep
An honest view on whether to build, buy something ready-made, or keep what you have.

Plans and budgets
A step-by-step plan with rough costs, in the order that pays back first.

Second opinion
We read a software quote or proposal and tell you what is missing or overpriced.
