Software and web development for Aberdeen businesses

Aberdeen's economy grew up around North Sea oil and gas, and it is now reshaping itself around offshore wind, hydrogen and carbon capture, alongside strong life sciences and food industries. We build the web applications, portals, integrations and websites that firms across the city and shire need for that next chapter, and we deliver them remotely.

Local context

An energy city moving into its next era

Few places are as closely tied to one industry as Aberdeen is to energy. VisitAberdeenshire's business pages describe decades of oil and gas expertise, a deep supply chain and the UK Government's decision to locate GB Energy in the city. Scottish Development International lists the projects shaping the transition: the Energy Transition Zone, the Acorn carbon capture and storage project, the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre and the floating turbines of Hywind Scotland.

The port is part of that story. Port of Aberdeen is a trust port that reinvests its profits, serving energy, cargo, cruise and ferry customers, and its largest recent investment has been the Aberdeen South Harbour expansion. For the contractors, vessel operators and logistics firms working around it, every job generates certificates, inspection records, timesheets and invoices that must line up.

Energy is not the whole picture. The Foresterhill Health Campus brings together NHS Grampian, the University of Aberdeen and industry partners in one of Europe's largest integrated clinical and research sites, and the ONE Tech Hub supports start-ups in a digital sector whose strengths include energy tech, climate tech and agritech. The surrounding region is also known for Aberdeen Angus beef and large seafood landings, which keeps food processing and distribution busy.

Sectors

Sectors we build software for in Aberdeen

Energy, offshore and the supply chain

Service companies, inspection firms and engineering contractors need competence and certification tracking, job packs that work offshore, and client reporting that pulls field data into one consistent record instead of a dozen spreadsheets.

Port, marine and logistics

Shipping agents, hauliers and marine service providers ask for booking and dispatch tools, customer tracking pages and integrations with the systems their clients already use.

Life sciences and clinical research

Biotech start-ups and research teams linked to Foresterhill need sample and study tracking, secure partner portals and consented data capture that stands up to audit.

Food, seafood and agriculture

Processors, farm businesses and seafood merchants want trade ordering, traceability from catch or field to customer, and online shops that cope with fresh produce and chilled delivery windows.

Engineering and technical consultancies

Consultancies whose experts move between projects need resource planning, proposal libraries and client portals that share drawings and reports without long email chains.

Common requests

What Aberdeen firms ask us to build

Projects here usually start with a business that has outgrown the tools it adopted during an earlier phase of the energy cycle.

  1. Competence and certificate tracking

    One register of tickets, medicals and training for every worker, with alerts before anything expires and reports clients can request at short notice.

  2. Field reporting that copes offshore

    Inspection and job forms that work without a reliable connection, add photos and signatures, and sync as soon as the device is back online.

  3. Diversifying into new energy markets

    A website and service pages that present oil and gas experience to wind, hydrogen and carbon capture buyers in language they recognise.

  4. Customer portals for contractors

    A secure area where operators and clients download reports, raise work requests and see job status without phoning the office.

  5. Traceability for food producers

    Batch and origin records that follow fish, meat or produce through processing to the buyer, ready for inspections and export paperwork.

Services

Software, app and web development services in Aberdeen

Website design and development

For Aberdeen companies repositioning towards renewables or new markets, we build sites that present capabilities, accreditations and project experience clearly to buyers who may never have heard of you.

Custom software and web applications

We build the scheduling, competence, inspection or job management system your operation actually needs, shaped around how work moves between onshore teams, vessels and clients.

App development

Technicians, inspectors and crews can use one installable web app on rugged tablets, phones or laptops, saving their work locally when the connection disappears and syncing later.

SaaS product development

Energy tech and climate tech founders can launch a focused subscription product with multi-company accounts, permissions, billing and an admin console, then add features as customers sign up.

E-commerce development

Food producers and specialist suppliers in the North East can sell direct or to trade with a shop that handles chilled delivery slots, customer-specific pricing and stock links.

API and system integrations

We connect ERP, timesheet, HR, accounting and client reporting systems, so hours, certificates and invoices agree with each other without manual reconciliation.

How we work

How we deliver for Aberdeen clients

Projects with Aberdeen businesses are handled entirely online. We are used to stakeholders whose availability changes with rotas and travel, so discovery and review calls are booked to fit your team, recordings and notes go into the client panel, and anyone who missed a session can catch up from the written record.

Before work starts you approve a written proposal that lists scope, milestones and cost. Each milestone is demonstrated and signed off before the next, so a director onshore and a supervisor returning from a trip can both see exactly where the build stands.

  1. A call about your brief

    A video call to understand the business, the people who will use the software and what has to change.

  2. A written proposal

    Scope, milestones and price in writing. Nothing starts until you accept it.

  3. Build in visible stages

    Each milestone is reviewed with you; progress, files and decisions stay in your client panel.

  4. Launch and look after it

    Go-live when you are ready, then maintenance and hosting if you want them.

FAQ

Questions from businesses in Aberdeen

Do you build software for energy supply chain companies in Aberdeen?
Yes. Competence tracking, inspection reporting, job management and client portals are common requests. See our energy and environment software.
Can our field forms work without a signal?
Yes. Web apps can store completed forms, photos and signatures on the device and send them when a connection returns. We agree which screens need this at the start.
Can you connect our new system to the tools we already pay for?
Usually. We integrate with accounting, HR, CRM and ERP platforms through their APIs. Read more about API and system integrations.
Do we have to travel for meetings?
No. Every stage of the project runs over video and in the client panel, which suits teams with people offshore or abroad.
How do you price a project?
We price each project on its scope in a written proposal. Start with our project quote questions and we will prepare one.
