The four questions this page answers

  1. 1

    What you buy

    Custom software at a scale where a shop price would be meaningless — multiple departments, several integrations, migration from existing systems, and requirements that only emerge properly once someone has looked. There is no checkout price here: you request a quote, we run a paid scoping assessment, and the build is quoted from it. All discovery, delivery and training is carried out remotely.

  2. 2

    What you get

    4 deliverables, listed in full below

    • A written functional specification
    • A phased, itemised quotation
    • Delivered phases as commissioned

    How long it takes

    Assessment in 2–4 weeks; build phases quoted separately

    Measured from the point everything under “what we need from you” is with us, not from the moment you pay.

What is this, in plain English?

Custom software at a scale where a shop price would be meaningless — multiple departments, several integrations, migration from existing systems, and requirements that only emerge properly once someone has looked. There is no checkout price here: you request a quote, we run a paid scoping assessment, and the build is quoted from it. All discovery, delivery and training is carried out remotely.

This is the one thing in the catalogue we will not put a checkout price on. A system spanning several departments has a cost driven by facts we do not yet know: how many workflows, how clean the existing data is, which of your current systems expose an API, and how many people need training. We start with a scoped assessment, and only then quote — with a figure we can defend line by line.

The problem it solves

You need a system too large and too entangled with your existing operations for anyone to price it honestly from a web page.

If that does not describe you, this is probably the wrong product. Tell us and we will point you at a better fit rather than sell you the nearest one.

What you get

The concrete things that exist at the end and that you own.

4 deliverables

What does it do?

Everything listed here is delivered as part of this product. Nothing on this list is aspirational.

  • Discovery across every department the system touches
  • A written functional specification you own
  • Phased delivery with independently useful milestones
  • Integration with the systems you already run
  • Data migration with reconciliation reporting
  • Role-based access across departments
  • Training programme and documentation

How it works

The delivery sequence from order to handover.

  1. 1

    Scoping assessment

    A paid engagement covering discovery, specification and a defensible cost breakdown.

  2. 2

    Written quote

    Phased, itemised, with assumptions stated. Yours to take elsewhere.

  3. 3

    Phase one

    The smallest slice that delivers real value, so you can judge us on delivered work.

  4. 4

    Subsequent phases

    Each commissioned separately. You can stop at the end of any phase.

  5. 5

    Handover

    Source code, documentation, training and a support arrangement.

Full detail of how work is handed over, what happens if requirements are outstanding and how order records are kept is in the Delivery & Fulfilment Policy.

What we need from you

Nothing starts until these are in place, and the turnaround above is measured from that point — not from the moment you pay.

  • Access to the departments involved
  • A sponsor who can make decisions across those departments
  • Realistic disclosure of the state of your existing data

Who this is for

  • Organisations with several departments sharing one process
  • Businesses replacing multiple systems at once
  • Companies with significant data migration involved
  • Anyone who has received a suspiciously round fixed price for work like this

Business needs this addresses: Automate work, Improve operations, Integrate systems

What's not included

Just as plainly as the list above: the things this package is not.

  • A fixed price before assessment — quoting one would be a guess dressed as a commitment
  • Third-party licences and infrastructure costs
  • Any obligation to commission the build after the assessment
  • Work in phases you have not commissioned

Anything outside the scope above is quoted separately, in writing, before it is carried out. Nothing is added to your bill without your agreement.

FAQs

Why will you not put a price on this?

Because we would be wrong. A fixed number for work of this size is either padded to cover the unknowns or set low and recovered through change requests. Neither serves you. The assessment produces a real number.

What does the assessment cost?

It depends on how many departments and systems are involved. We agree that figure in writing before starting, and it is deducted from the build cost if you commission the work with us.

Can we take the specification elsewhere?

Yes. You paid for it, so you own it. We would rather be chosen against a competing quote than be your only option.

Refund & cancellation

What happens if you change your mind, and what happens to money already paid.

Nothing is charged for the quote
Requesting a quote costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Refund and cancellation terms are agreed in writing as part of the proposal, before any money changes hands.
Work already done
Once delivery has started, refunds are assessed against the work completed and the deliverables already handed over — the list under “what you get” above is what that assessment is made against. Approved refunds are processed within 14 days.
If we cannot deliver what is described here
You are refunded. The scope on this page is the scope we are held to, which is exactly why the exclusions above are stated before you buy rather than after.

The full terms, item type by item type, are in the Refund & Cancellation Policy. How the work reaches you is covered by the Delivery & Fulfilment Policy.

Not sure this is the right product?

We would rather point you at the right thing than sell you the nearest one. Ask us before you buy — no obligation.
