Never miss an opportunity because of bad tech
We are a software and technology team in Ipswich working with businesses across Suffolk, Essex and East Anglia. We build the systems that replace the spreadsheets you have outgrown, we sit at the leadership table for companies that have nobody owning technology, and we do both in a way that survives an audit. You will always be talking to the same people, and the first conversation is free.

Which of these sounds like your business?
Most people arrive here with one of four problems. Pick yours.
The spreadsheet has run out of road
The business runs on Excel files, an old Access database, or a system one person understands and everyone else fears. It worked at ten people. It does not work at forty. We build bespoke software that fits how you already work, uses the data you already have, and does not cost enterprise money.
Nobody in the business owns technology
Decisions get made by whichever supplier shouted loudest. Renewals get signed because cancelling felt risky. You know it is costing you, but a full time technology director is not justifiable yet. We put a senior technologist at your leadership table for a day or two a month, the same person every time.

You are building a product and it has to be built properly
You have a business idea that needs software at the heart of it, and you have heard the horror stories. We build it with AI assisted development, which means faster and cheaper than two years ago, and with the review discipline that stops it becoming a mess you cannot sell or scale.
Your software has to survive an audit
Pharmaceutical, regulatory, financial services. Validated systems, controlled documents, an audit trail for everything. We have done this for sixteen years for a global pharmaceutical manufacturer and we have a product built for it.
From the first day to now this has been an outstanding experience. I could not recommend them highly enough.

From first conversation to a system you rely on
The same five steps whether it is a quoting tool or a validated pharmaceutical system. A typical build is around twelve weeks, though every project is scoped on its own.
- Understand. Where the current spreadsheets or systems fall short, how the data flows, what the business actually needs.
- Build. Reliable, secure, scalable, and shaped around how you already work. Your existing data comes with you.
- Deploy. Locally or in the cloud, secured and backed up, with your team trained.
- Integrate. Accounts, calendar, whatever else you run. It talks to the rest of your business.
- Support. We stay. Maintenance, upgrades and new capability as you grow.
Why businesses choose us
Local, and the same people every time. Ipswich based, happy to come and see you, still on the end of the phone in year three. No account managers, no offshore hand off.
Built for the regulated world. We have spent years building validated software for pharmaceutical and financial services businesses, and we hold ISO 27001 and ISO 9001. Security and compliance are audited, not promised.
Process first, software second. We work out how your business actually runs before we build anything, and we will tell you if the answer is a product you can buy rather than something we build.
We build with AI assisted development, properly. The routine part of software costs less than it did two years ago, and we pass that on. What you pay for is the judgement: written standards, every change reviewed by a person, a security review before it goes live. How we do it.
We wrote the book on this
Buy, Build or Bodge is Richard Maly’s plain English guide to the software decisions every business owner faces, and the ones that come back to bite you. Read the first chapter free, or find it on Amazon.
