Services
Build it, host it, keep it running
We are not a project shop that disappears at handover. The system we build is a system we then operate, which changes how we build it in the first place.
What we do
Which service do you need?
Seven ways we work with clients. Most start with one and add another later, because the system that gets built is the system that then needs running.
Custom software development
A system shaped around how your business actually operates, rather than a template you have to bend to fit. Scoped, fixed quoted, and built in stages you can see.
Read moreBusiness automation
Removing the manual steps between your systems: scheduled jobs, connectors, notifications and reporting, built so that failures are loud rather than silent.
Read moreAI chatbots and agents
Assistants that answer from your own documents and records, say when they do not know, and hand over to a person with the conversation attached.
Read moreWeb design and development
Sites and web apps that do a job: fast, readable on a phone, findable, and connected to whatever happens after somebody gets in touch.
Read moreHosting and support
Our own servers, twice-daily backups, monitoring, security patching and a person who answers. When something breaks at 9pm, it is our phone that rings.
Read moreIntegrations
Payments, SMS, email, storage and third party APIs connected to the system you run, with scoped keys and duplicate protection built in from the start.
Read moreSecurity scanning
Authorised automated scanning for web apps and APIs. We confirm you own the target, agree the scope in writing, scan with established tools, and hand you a plain report with fixes.

How does the commercial side work?
Whichever service you need, the arrangement is one of these three.
Build to order
Scoped and fixed quoted before development starts. You own the outcome set out in your agreement, and the price does not move unless the scope does.
White-label deployment
One of our products under your brand, your domain and your own tenant. Faster and cheaper than a custom build, because the hard parts are already solved and already tested.
Monthly retainer
Hosting, support and ongoing work, charged monthly in pesos. Ordinary maintenance is included. New features are quoted, so the retainer stays a retainer.
Process
How does a project actually run?
No long discovery phase billed by the hour. We would rather get something in front of your staff early and correct it than write a beautiful document nobody reads.
Brief
A call, then a written scope: what the system must do, what it will not do in version one, what it costs and who owns what. Nothing is built until you have signed that.
Build
Work lands in stages. You get a link to a working version early and keep getting updates, so corrections happen while they are cheap.
Go live
Data migration, staff training and a supervised first week. We watch the system closely while your team learns it and fix what the real world surfaces.
Run
Monthly hosting and support. Your system keeps getting the fixes and improvements we make across the platform, not just the ones you pay for.
Straight answers
What will we tell you before you ask?
- Ownership is written down. The contract states what you license and what remains ours, agreed before work starts rather than argued about later.
- We say no. If your problem is a process problem, more software will not fix it, and we will tell you that instead of quoting.
- Timelines are ranges. Anyone giving you an exact date for a system they have not scoped is guessing.
- Small team, real limits. We take on what we can support properly. Sometimes that means waiting for a slot.
- Your data leaves with you. If the relationship ends, you get an export in a usable format.
Under the hood
What do we build with?
Deliberately unfashionable choices. We pick tools we can still support in five years over whatever launched last month.
Start with the problem, not the solution
Send us what is going wrong in the business. That is more useful than a feature list, and it is usually where the real scope hides.
