Region of England
The East Midlands is home to the UK's largest dedicated cargo airport, the country's only inland freeport, a long tradition of farming and food production, and the Peak District National Park. We build the websites, web apps and integrations that companies across the region rely on, and we deliver each project remotely.
Local context
Freight shapes the East Midlands more than most regions. East Midlands Airport describes itself as the UK's largest dedicated cargo airport and a key player in global express freight, serving as a central hub for DHL, UPS, FedEx and Royal Mail. Around it, the East Midlands Freeport, the only inland freeport in the UK, brings together the airport and its gateway industrial cluster, the Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station site and the East Midlands Intermodal Park.
Governance has changed too. The East Midlands Combined County Authority, led by Mayor Claire Ward, now covers Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Derby and Nottingham, with programmes for transport, skills and employment, housing and regeneration, green growth and the wider economy. Leicester, Leicestershire and Lincoln sit alongside, each with its own mix of industry and services.
Food and countryside are part of the picture as well. Stilton cheese carries protected designation of origin status, so it can only be made in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire to long-established recipes, a reminder of how much the region's farms and dairies matter. In the north-west of the region, the official tourist board for the Peak District and Derbyshire lists self-catering cottages, inns with rooms, walking and cycling providers, attractions and food and drink businesses, each of which needs a way to be found and booked.
Sectors
Carriers, forwarders and warehouse operators near the airport and along the motorways ask for booking portals, consignment tracking, proof of delivery and customer dashboards that cut down on calls to the transport office.
The region's engineering supply chains need quoting, production scheduling, inspection records and supplier portals that link with customer purchasing systems instead of relying on spreadsheets passed between departments.
Dairies, bakers, growers and processors want traceability from field or farm to finished pack, specification and allergen records in one place, and trade ordering that wholesale customers can use without phoning.
Holiday cottages, guides, climbing and cycling providers around the Peak District need direct booking with deposits, availability calendars and pre-arrival information, so fewer bookings pass through commission-charging platforms.
With power station land and industrial sites included in the freeport's plans, consultancies and contractors in energy and environment ask for survey apps, permit tracking and client reporting portals.
Common requests
A region this varied produces very different briefs, yet a few needs come up across almost every sector.
A login where customers see the status of each order, job or consignment, with documents attached, rather than emailing for updates.
Batch, lot and inspection records linked from intake to dispatch, so a recall or audit question can be answered in minutes.
Availability, deposits and reminders on the business's own site, working smoothly on a phone even where the signal is weak.
Accounting, warehouse, CRM and e-commerce tools linked so a company with depots or farms in different counties works from one version of the truth.
Services
Whether you trade from a market town, an industrial estate or a city centre, we build fast, accessible sites that explain your services clearly and turn visits into enquiries you can measure.
For East Midlands firms whose operations have outgrown spreadsheets, we build job, order, booking or compliance software around the way your teams actually work.
Drivers, engineers, farm staff and guides can share one web app on phones, tablets and desktops, installed from the browser and able to keep working offline in rural parts of the region.
If you have built a tool that other logistics, manufacturing or food businesses would pay for, we help turn it into a subscription product with accounts, billing and admin.
For producers, makers and wholesalers we build shops and trade ordering that handle chilled, bulky or seasonal goods, with delivery rules and stock links that match how you dispatch.
We connect carriers, accounting, warehouse and booking systems so orders and tracking data move automatically. See our integration services.
How we work
Across a region that stretches from the Peak District to Lincoln, remote delivery saves everyone time. We run discovery and reviews over video at hours that suit shift patterns and seasonal peaks, and keep every design, build and decision in the client panel.
Nothing is built until you have accepted a written proposal covering scope, milestones and price. Each milestone is demonstrated to you and approved before the next begins.
A video call to understand the business, the people who will use the software and what has to change.
Scope, milestones and price in writing. Nothing starts until you accept it.
Each milestone is reviewed with you; progress, files and decisions stay in your client panel.
Go-live when you are ready, then maintenance and hosting if you want them.
