Software Development Services

We work with our customers to make their systems work better and their businesses more efficient.

Our expertise is in knowing how to translate your business requirements into realistic solutions using the best software and IT systems within your budget.

Our development method means that we can often develop prototype software "live" whilst sitting alongside staff within your business – we call this the Start Software Development Process.

  • We can work with you to design and build cost-effective, easy-to-use systems in the most appropriate technologies.
  • We are UK partners for leading system development platform Alpha Anywhere from Alpha Software (US).
  • We are also UK partners for Mobile Data Studio from CreativityCorp (Australia) - the leading product for mobile data capture and processing.

Mobile Data Capture

We build easy-to-use mobile data capture "apps" to collect data on site and transmit the information back to a central server or the cloud.

Our apps are flexible, reliable and robust and since 2001 our apps have captured more than 25 million data items for a whole range of industries.

Using Mobile Data Studio software, we create apps for iOS (iPhone, iPad and iPod), and Android smartphones and tablets.

We have written Mobile Data Studio apps for a whole range of businesses, industries and applications including:

  • surveying including for asbestos, general condition, air and water quality
  • asbestos consultancies, asbestos consultants and asbestos surveyors (Tracker Mobile)
  • driver collections and deliveries
  • mileage and expense recording
