Local context
An ancient capital with a modern service economy
Dunfermline won city status in 2022 as one of a record eight winners of the Platinum Jubilee civic honours competition. InvestFife describes it as the ancient capital of Scotland for more than four centuries and the birthplace of the industrialist and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. Dunfermline Abbey, where Robert the Bruce and St Margaret were laid to rest, and Pittencrieff Park draw visitors into a heritage quarter that InvestFife says contributes significantly to the local economy.
Behind that history sits a substantial service economy. According to InvestFife, the Pitreavie Business Park and Carnegie Campus together form Scotland's largest single centre for financial shared services, with names such as NatWest Group, Lloyds Banking Group, Santander, Sainsbury's Bank and Sky in the area. Ingenico, the payments technology company, has its headquarters at nearby Dalgety Bay, and Fife has a long record in the electronics and software that underpin digital payments.
Logistics and engineering complete the picture. Amazon runs a large fulfilment centre at Fife Interchange North, the M90 gives quick road access to Edinburgh and Glasgow, and at Rosyth the Arrol Gibb Innovation Campus brings together Babcock International, the Royal Navy, universities and the regional college to advance large-scale and digital manufacturing. Dunfermline also sits within the Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Deal and close to the Forth Green Freeport.
Sectors
Sectors we build software for in Dunfermline
Distribution and logistics
Hauliers, couriers and warehouse operators working around the Fife Interchange and the M90 corridor want dispatch boards, proof-of-delivery capture and customer tracking pages.
Engineering and marine manufacturing
Fabricators and specialist suppliers serving Rosyth and the wider energy and defence supply chain need quoting, works orders, inspection records and document control in one system.
Heritage, tourism and the city centre
Attractions, guides, cafés and independent retailers near the Abbey want online booking, gift vouchers, event listings and simple shops that bring visitors back after their first trip.
Trades and local services
As the city grows, builders, installers and home service firms across West Fife need quoting, scheduling and customer portals that replace paper diaries and missed calls.

Paperless engineering records

A modern face for a city-centre business

Services
Software, app and web development services in Dunfermline
Website design and development
Dunfermline businesses gained a new audience with city status. We build sites that load quickly, rank for what you offer locally and across Fife, and make booking or enquiring straightforward.
Custom software and web applications
We build case management, job tracking and approval systems around the way your West Fife team works, with the controls corporate customers ask about in supplier audits.
App development
Drivers, engineers and site staff can use one installable web app on a phone or tablet to record jobs, photos and signatures, with the office seeing updates straight away.
SaaS product development
If your payments, logistics or service know-how could become a subscription product, we help you launch a focused first release with accounts, billing and an admin panel.
E-commerce development
Retailers and makers can sell online with click-and-collect, gift vouchers, delivery options and stock that stays in step between the shop floor and the website.
API and system integrations
We link accounting, CRM, payment, courier and booking tools so information moves between them automatically and staff stop copying data from one screen to another.
How we work
Our remote way of working with Dunfermline clients
We serve Dunfermline and the rest of Fife without anyone needing to travel. Discovery and review sessions take place on video when your team is free, prototypes are shared as links you can open in a browser, and the client panel keeps a running record of decisions, files and invoices.
Each project begins with a written proposal that sets out what will be built, in which milestones and at what cost. You see and approve each milestone before the next starts, so the scope never drifts without your agreement.
A call about your brief
A video call to understand the business, the people who will use the software and what has to change.
A written proposal
Scope, milestones and price in writing. Nothing starts until you accept it.
Build in visible stages
Each milestone is reviewed with you; progress, files and decisions stay in your client panel.
Launch and look after it
Go-live when you are ready, then maintenance and hosting if you want them.
