Our Services

Bespoke software development is exactly that, bespoke. Every project, every business, every solution is different. Often, the challenges are remarkably similar.

01

Data & Workflow Management

Industries may differ, but the challenge of workflow management remains. We have developed desktop software and web or mobile applications for many organisations, from major transport and rail operators through to a live music booking agency.

It goes without saying, effective workflow management helps streamline processes and tasks, reducing bottlenecks and inefficiencies. When workflows are well-organised, tasks are completed more efficiently, leading to increased productivity. And happier staff!

02

Web and Mobile Applications

Customers and partners expect to be able to order, pay and monitor their purchases online. We build web and mobile applications that integrate with (or replace) existing systems, to manage anything from customer relationships to supply chains, knowledge bases to ticket sales. Quite simply, we can help you to put your business in the hands of your customers providing intuitive user interfaces and a resilient backend infrastructure.

03

Systems & Database Integration

Often, data is spread across multiple databases, or stored in spreadsheets that are continuously being emailed back and forth. Basic business tasks mean using and manually cross-referencing a handful of tools and applications or continually checking the systems of customers, suppliers and partners. 

Valuable staff waste time not to mention loss of morale. It’s something we see in the data (and on the faces of back office team members!). 

04

Custom software development & maintenance

By partnering with us, businesses can ensure the continuous development, enhancement, and support of their software solutions allowing internal teams to focus on core business functions.

With ongoing outsourced support, software is kept up to date, secure and aligned to evolving industry demands and regulatory changes.

05

Business Technology Consulting

Our business technology consultancy service is like having a trusted partner—one that's deeply committed to fuelling growth, saving money, and driving operational efficiencies. We assess the current technology infrastructure, ensuring that every system aligns perfectly with the overarching business objectives. Our seasoned senior team, develop a roadmap that delivers digital transformation. This roadmap utilises the latest technology and hosting solutions, to elevate your business. We don't just see ourselves as external advisors; we become an integral part of your team, sharing in your business goals and aspirations, and working tirelessly to turn them into realities.

Purple Crane have worked closely with us for over 10 years now, implementing major enhancements to existing systems and developing small systems for us. I continue to be impressed with their ability to understand my customers' needs and convert them into working systems, with their quality and with their flexibility when it comes to project schedules. They have grown to become a vital part of the extended development team here at Inchcape.
