Industries

The same engineering, pointed at different operations.

We do not sell an industry product. What changes between a courier company and a distributor is the process, the vocabulary and the reporting - so that is what we spend the first phase of every project understanding.

Built around operations

Logistics, retail, manufacturing, wholesale and internal tools

Each engagement starts from the process your team already runs.

Logistics & delivery

Shipment records that stay consistent from booking through to invoice.

Built and running

Integrated operations suite for a UPS authorized service contractor - five of six modules in production, live since 2023.

Problems we hear

  • A shipment touches customer service, operations, billing and credit control, and each holds its own version of it
  • Tracking data sits with the carrier and not in your own reports
  • Invoices are built by hand from several sources at month end
  • Field staff need to work where the network does not reach

What we typically build

Pickup and delivery scheduling, route and dispatch, run sheets, shipment tracking with carrier API integration, export and import billing, brokerage, rate cards and annual rate increases.

Retail & distribution

Stock figures the business can act on without checking them first.

Problems we hear

  • Recorded stock and counted stock disagree, and nobody trusts either
  • Several outlets or warehouses with no consolidated position
  • Purchasing decided on figures that are already a week old
  • Sales that cannot be reconciled against the accounts

What we typically build

Point of sale, multi-location stock with transfers, purchase orders through goods receipt, batch and expiry tracking, stock counts and variance reporting, supplier and price management.

Manufacturing

Production, materials and cost held in the same system.

Problems we hear

  • Material requirements worked out separately from what production actually consumed
  • Job costing that only becomes clear after the job is finished
  • Quality and traceability records kept on paper
  • Production schedules that cannot react when an order changes

What we typically build

Bill of materials, production planning and work orders, material consumption against plan, job costing, wastage tracking, batch traceability, and production reporting by line or shift.

Wholesale & trading

Margin visible per order, not per quarter.

Problems we hear

  • Pricing tiers and customer-specific rates managed in spreadsheets
  • Credit exposure per customer unclear until something goes wrong
  • Landed cost calculated separately from selling price
  • Orders taken against stock that is already committed elsewhere

What we typically build

Customer-specific pricing and agreements, quotations to orders, credit limits and receivables, landed cost, margin calculation, and commission handling.

Service businesses

Work, time and billing tied to the same record.

Problems we hear

  • Jobs tracked in one place, invoices raised in another
  • Time and materials recorded after the fact, or not at all
  • Recurring billing run manually every month
  • No view of which clients or contracts are actually profitable

What we typically build

Job and ticket management, scheduling and assignment, time capture, recurring and milestone billing, contract and renewal tracking, client portals.

Internal operations tools

The systems that hold a company together but no vendor sells.

Problems we hear

  • A critical process runs on one shared spreadsheet
  • Approvals happen over email with no record of who approved what
  • Reporting is assembled by one person who knows where everything is
  • Onboarding a new staff member means teaching them the workarounds

What we typically build

Internal request and approval workflows, employee self-service, IT ticketing, document management, management dashboards, and MIS reporting.

Your operation is not on this list?

These are the sectors we have worked in, not the limits of what we can build. If the process is well understood inside your business, we can put software around it.
