Local context

An industrial region that now builds technology too

The North East takes in Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, County Durham and the Tees Valley, with two combined authorities covering most of it. It is a compact region by English standards, yet it holds two World Heritage Sites, Hadrian's Wall and Durham Castle and Cathedral, alongside some of the country's most concentrated heavy industry. Its rivers, the Tyne, the Wear and the Tees, still shape where the work is done.

Invest North East England describes a worldwide reputation for subsea and offshore technology, pipeline and trenching services and fabrication for energy projects, with the ports of Blyth, Sunderland and Tyne linking the region to the North Sea. The North East Investment Zone builds on that, naming Blyth Energy Central, the River Tyne Economic Corridor, the International Advanced Manufacturing Strategic Site in Sunderland and South Tyneside, and NETPark in County Durham as its sites.

Less visible from the coast road is the region's software economy. Sage, Atom Bank, Bede Gaming, Tharsus and tombola are all headquartered in the North East according to the regional investment agency, and studios such as Ubisoft Reflections work here too. That mix of engineering suppliers and digital firms means a typical brief from the region can range from a contractor's inspection records to a subscription product built by a former games developer.

Sectors

Sectors we build software for in North East England

Offshore energy and subsea supply chain

Fabricators, inspection firms and marine contractors along the Tyne and at Blyth juggle certificates, test results and vessel schedules for several clients at once. Software that ties each document to an asset and a project saves hours of searching before every audit.

Automotive and advanced manufacturing

Suppliers feeding the Nissan plant and the new advanced manufacturing site straddling Sunderland and South Tyneside work to tight call-off schedules. We build supplier portals, quality logs and traceability records that keep pace with a lean production line rather than a monthly spreadsheet.

Science parks and research spin-outs

Companies growing out of NETPark, Newcastle Helix and the region's universities often need a customer-facing product sooner than they expected. A focused web application, with accounts and a clean admin view, lets a small technical team sell what it has invented.

Visitor economy across Northumberland and County Durham

Holiday cottages, castles, coastal cafés and walking tour operators depend on direct bookings in a short season. Availability calendars, deposits and pre-arrival messages handled by their own website reduce the commission they hand to third-party platforms.

Games, fintech and digital product companies

With well-known product businesses headquartered in the region, experienced developers move between firms and start their own. We can act as an extra pair of hands on a SaaS build, an API or an internal tool when a small team needs more capacity.

Common requests

Common requests from North East organisations

These are the problems that tend to prompt a conversation with firms from the Tweed to the Tees.

  1. Paperwork that follows the asset

    Inspection reports, certificates and photos stored against each pipe spool, vessel or machine, so an auditor gets the full history in one export.

  2. One view of jobs across several sites

    Contractors working at the ports, on industrial estates and offshore need a shared job list that updates the moment a supervisor closes a task on a phone.

  3. Bookings that work on rural connections

    Light, fast booking pages that still load where mobile coverage is thin, with confirmations sent by email so guests have them before they lose signal.

  4. Turning research into a sellable product

    A first commercial release for a spin-out: sign-up, permissions, billing and the core feature, built so investors and early customers can try it.

  5. Linking older systems to newer ones

    Long-established manufacturers often run a dependable but dated system; we connect it to a modern portal instead of forcing a risky replacement.

Services

Software, app and web development services in North East England

Website design and development

From an engineering supplier explaining its certifications to a Northumberland guest house selling rooms, we build fast, accessible websites that set out what you do in plain language and route each enquiry to the right person.

Custom software and web applications

When quotes, job sheets and test certificates live in different spreadsheets, we design a single web application around your own process, whether that runs from a Tyneside workshop or a laboratory on a science park.

App development

Site supervisors, drivers and field engineers across the region can use one web app on a phone or tablet, with screens built for gloves, poor signal and quick updates that sync once a connection returns.

SaaS product development

For founders leaving the region's games, fintech and software firms to start something of their own, we build the subscription platform behind the idea: accounts, plans, billing and an admin area you can run yourself.

E-commerce development

Producers, craft makers and specialist suppliers in the North East can sell nationally through a shop with sensible delivery rules, trade pricing for repeat buyers and stock that stays in step with what is on the shelf.

API and system integrations

We join up accounting, CRM, booking and production systems with dependable integrations, so data entered once at a Teesside depot or a Durham accounts desk appears everywhere it is needed.

How we work

Remote delivery for a spread-out region

Clients in the North East range from city-centre firms to businesses at the end of a single-track road in the Cheviots, so we run every project the same way: over video calls, in writing and through a client panel. Nobody needs to travel, and whoever is responsible on your side can join a review from wherever they happen to be working that day.

Work begins only after you accept a written proposal that sets out the scope, milestones and price. Each milestone ends with a review of working software, and you can see progress, files and invoices in the panel at any time.

  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.
