The tools that run a mid-sized business are usually a decade of accumulated workarounds: a spreadsheet that became load-bearing, an Access database nobody will touch, an integration that runs on one person’s laptop.

Replacing that is less about technology than about understanding the exceptions. We spend the first two weeks with the people who handle those exceptions, because they are where the real business rules live.

What you get

  • Replaces the spreadsheet, not the team We model the process people actually follow, including the exceptions they handle by hand, before designing screens.
  • Integrations that fail loudly ERP, CRM and payment integrations get retries, dead-letter queues and alerts, so a silent failure does not surface as an angry customer.
  • No proprietary lock-in Standard languages, managed databases and infrastructure as code in your cloud account. We can be replaced, which is the point.
  • Documented decisions Every significant architectural choice gets a short written record explaining the trade-off, so the next engineer inherits reasoning rather than mystery.

How we work

  1. Domain discovery

    Workshops with the people doing the work, a data model, and the two or three risks that could sink the project.

    2 weeks
  2. Thin slice

    One complete journey to production, including auth, deployment and monitoring, so the pipeline is proven early.

    3 weeks
  3. Delivery increments

    Two-week cycles against a prioritised backlog, demoed on staging, with your team reviewing pull requests.

    8 to 14 weeks
  4. Hardening and handover

    Load testing, runbooks, on-call documentation and paired sessions with your engineers.

    2 weeks

Deliverables

  • Production application and infrastructure as code
  • Architecture decision records
  • Test suite and CI pipeline
  • Runbook and monitoring dashboards
  • Handover sessions with your team
