Bespoke software and websites for the West Midlands

The West Midlands builds cars, insures risks, trains doctors, fires ceramics and defends networks, often within an hour of each other. We design and build the websites, web applications and business systems behind that work, and we run every engagement remotely, from the first video call through to a launch you sign off in your client panel.

  • Video calls in UK working hours
  • A written proposal before any work starts
  • Progress, files and invoices in your client panel

Local context

Three cities, several counties and a manufacturing backbone

Unusually for an English region, the West Midlands is anchored by three cities rather than one: Birmingham, Coventry and Wolverhampton, with Solihull, Dudley, Sandwell and Walsall forming the wider metropolitan area. The West Midlands Combined Authority and its elected mayor work across that area on transport, skills, housing and the economy, alongside the local councils rather than in place of them. Beyond the conurbation lie Staffordshire, Worcestershire and Herefordshire, each with an economy of its own.

Manufacturing remains the backbone. Government investment guidance notes that around a third of British-made cars come off West Midlands production lines, and names Jaguar Land Rover and Collins Aerospace among the major producers, supported by research centres such as the Manufacturing Technology Centre, WMG at the University of Warwick and the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre. Further out, Stoke-on-Trent has been the centre of the ceramics industry for centuries, and the Cyber Valley cluster spanning Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Malvern holds the largest concentration of cyber security businesses outside London.

Services matter just as much. Birmingham is a long-established financial centre, the region is a national logistics hub thanks to its central position on the road and rail network, and the regional investment agency also promotes life sciences, low carbon technology, creative and digital work and future mobility. For a software partner, that mix means one week can bring a supplier portal for an automotive tier-two firm and the next a booking platform for a cathedral-city hotel.

Sectors

Sectors we build software for in West Midlands

Automotive, aerospace and supply chains

Component makers, machine shops and engineering consultancies feeding the big vehicle and aerospace programmes need works orders, quality records and customer call-off schedules that their ERP leaves awkward to reach. We build focused web tools that sit alongside those systems and give staff a clearer screen.

Logistics and distribution

With motorways converging on the region, warehousing and haulage operators ask for booking-in slots, proof of delivery captured on a phone and customer tracking pages that stop the stream of "where is my pallet" calls.

Business, professional and financial services

Banks, law firms, accountants and insurers concentrated in Birmingham and Coventry want secure document exchange, onboarding checks and dashboards for client teams. We scope access and audit trails carefully, because the data is sensitive.

Health, life sciences and MedTech

The region hosts hundreds of MedTech sites and several medical schools. Clinics, device firms and research teams need intake forms, trial scheduling and reporting that keep personal data limited to the people who need it.

Visitor economy and heritage

Cathedrals, pottery museums, remembrance gardens and countryside stays draw visitors to the smaller cities and counties. Hotels, attractions and tour operators want direct online booking, timed tickets and event listings they can update themselves.

Common requests

Software requests we expect from across the region

A Black Country fabricator and a Worcestershire cyber start-up rarely want the same thing, but certain needs come up again and again.

  1. A trade portal for repeat customers

    Account customers log in to reorder, download certificates and check delivery dates instead of emailing the sales office for each one.

  2. Shop-floor data without paper

    Operators record job progress, scrap and downtime on a tablet, and managers see the same figures in a dashboard minutes later.

  3. Quotes built from pricing rules

    Material costs, machine time and margins captured once, so anyone in the sales team can produce a consistent quote and the history is kept.

  4. A secure client area for advisers

    Professional firms share documents, collect signatures and track matters in one place rather than in shared inboxes.

  5. Bookings and tickets for visitor businesses

    Rooms, tours and events sold through the business's own website, with deposits, capacity limits and automatic reminders.

Services

Software, app and web development services in West Midlands

Website design and development

For West Midlands firms that sell to buyers across the UK, we build websites that explain technical capabilities in plain language, load quickly on a phone and route each enquiry to the right person.

Custom software and web applications

Where a spreadsheet or an ageing in-house tool now holds up production, quoting or client work, we build a web application shaped around the process your people actually follow.

App development

Engineers on customer sites, drivers between depots and staff on the shop floor can use one installable web app on phones, tablets and desktops, kept current without app-store releases.

SaaS product development

Founders coming out of the region's universities and innovation centres can launch a focused subscription product with accounts, billing and an admin area, then grow it with real customers.

E-commerce development

Manufacturers adding direct sales, and makers selling ceramics, jewellery or food online, get a shop with the trade pricing, delivery rules and stock links their products need.

API and system integrations

We connect ERP, accounting, CRM, courier and payment systems so orders and customer records move between them automatically instead of being re-keyed.

How we work

Delivering projects across the West Midlands remotely

A region that stretches from the Black Country to the Welsh border is easiest to serve without travel. Discovery sessions and milestone reviews take place on video at times that suit your shifts, and every decision, file and invoice is recorded in your client panel where the whole team can see it.

Before any build work begins you receive a written proposal covering scope, milestones and price. Each milestone is demonstrated and approved by you before the next one starts, so there are no surprises at handover.

  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.

Yes. Quoting tools, works-order tracking, supplier and customer portals are typical. See our manufacturing and corporate software.
