Local context
Four very different economies under one name
The region stretches from the Pennines to the North Sea and covers West and South Yorkshire, most of North Yorkshire, the East Riding and the northern part of Lincolnshire. Several combined authorities now share responsibility for it, including those for West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, York and North Yorkshire, and Hull and East Yorkshire. Each has its own economic strengths, and a supplier selling across the region quickly learns that one pitch does not fit all of them.
West Yorkshire leans on finance and professional services; ICAEW notes that Leeds hosts the Bank of England and the Financial Conduct Authority and has become a regulatory and operational hub for financial firms. South Yorkshire has rebuilt its steel and coal heritage around advanced engineering, with the University of Sheffield AMRC drawing companies such as Boeing, Rolls-Royce and McLaren to the area. On the estuary, Associated British Ports calls the Humber the UK's energy estuary and describes Hull as the country's leading softwood timber port.
North of the cities, the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors national parks support farming, tourism and a dense network of small rural businesses. Those firms often have the same software needs as a city company, such as bookings, stock, invoicing and customer records, but with weaker broadband and staff who wear several hats. Good software for this region has to work for a Leeds compliance team and a Wensleydale farm shop alike.
Sectors
Sectors we build software for in Yorkshire and the Humber
Advanced engineering and manufacturing
Precision engineers, toolmakers and composite specialists around Sheffield and Rotherham ask for quoting engines, works orders and inspection records that keep pace with aerospace-grade customers.
Ports, energy and logistics
Hauliers, freight forwarders and offshore wind suppliers along the Humber manage slots, cargo documents and crew or vessel schedules. Shared portals give customers status updates without a phone call.
Farming, food and rural tourism
Farms that sell direct, food producers and holiday cottage owners in the Dales and the Moors need simple ordering, booking and stock tools that still work when the connection is slow.
Health and care
Care providers, clinics and health technology firms across the region need scheduling, records and family communication that keep personal data tightly controlled.
Common requests
What businesses across the region ask us to build
The details differ from Hull to Harrogate, but these themes come up repeatedly.
-
Compliance that does not slow the work
Checks, approvals and records built into the everyday workflow, so evidence for an auditor is produced as a by-product of doing the job.
-
Consignment and job visibility
Customers tracking loads, repairs or orders online, so office staff spend less time answering status questions.
-
Direct sales for rural producers
An online shop or ordering page for meat boxes, cheese, ales or crafts, with delivery zones and collection days handled sensibly.
-
Replacing a fragile spreadsheet
The workbook that only one person understands, turned into a proper web application with permissions, history and backups.
-
A website that reflects the firm today
Plenty of Yorkshire businesses have outgrown the site they launched years ago; a rebuild brings services, credentials and contact routes up to date.
Services
Software, app and web development services in Yorkshire and the Humber
Website design and development
We build websites for Yorkshire and Humber firms that describe what you do without jargon, load quickly on rural and urban connections alike, and turn visits into enquiries you can measure.
Custom software and web applications
Whether the job is a case workflow for a Leeds practice or a works-order system for a Rotherham engineer, we design the application around the steps your team already follows.
App development
Drivers on the M62, engineers on a factory floor and staff on a Dales farm can all use one installable web app on a phone or tablet, with data that syncs when signal returns.
SaaS product development
For founders across the region building a subscription product, we deliver a focused first release with accounts, billing and an admin panel, ready to grow with paying customers.
E-commerce development
From Humber importers selling to trade to Dales producers selling to the public, we build shops with the pricing, delivery and stock rules your products need.
API and system integrations
We link accounting, CRM, transport and booking systems through dependable integrations, so information flows between your sites and partners without re-keying.
How we work
Remote delivery across a large region
From Sheffield to Scarborough is a long drive, and remote delivery removes it from the equation. We work with Yorkshire and Humber clients over video calls, shared documents and the client panel, so a meeting fits in an hour of your day rather than a whole morning.
Before any work starts you approve a written proposal that sets out scope, milestones and price. Each milestone ends with a review of working software, and you sign it off before the next stage begins.
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.
