Developed for your organisation, designed for people
Purple Crane is a custom software application development company based in London. We’ve been integrating and building better business systems for UK companies since 2007. Let’s be blunt. We’re not the biggest software development company in London and we don’t have the most developers. We do, however, do all the work ourselves and we get most of our work from recommendations.
WHAT WE DO
For some businesses this involves developing software from scratch, for others it means interfacing with off-the-shelf software or developing systems that integrate with their partners. It often includes data migration and data integration; it always involves improving business systems.
Please click on the links below for more information on our services and work:
- Developing the right tools for the task: We develop custom software applications that are easy to use and meet high technical standards. These include cloud or desktop-based workflow management systems, applications for data management and analysis, and catalogue, supply chain and sales management systems.
- Making your business more accessible: We build mobile and web apps and websites that are reliable, secure and designed for the context in which they’ll be used. They can integrate with existing offline systems, or replace them, and have the advantage of being accessible from anywhere and at any time.
- Improving processes and relationships: We integrate your systems with those of your suppliers, customers or partners to create a single system that simplifies data entry, keeps everything consistent and gives you access to all the information you need through one interface.
BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY CONSULTING
- Translate good ideas into good technology: We work with organisations to develop new product ideas, identify options to solve business problems and assess the feasibility of proposed solutions. You can use our expertise to draw up specifications, cost projects and plan for future improvements.
- Developers on demand: Our experienced senior developers are available for one-off projects or sub-projects when your in-house development team needs a bit of extra capacity. We’re a cost-effective way to expand your team rapidly for a few weeks, or a few months, without having to spend on recruitment and employment.
OUR WORK
Having worked across the telecoms, retail, logistics, finance, not-for-profit, entertainment and local government sectors, we have experience in all kinds of technologies and systems. We're not saying that we've seen it ALL before, but we do have a wide variety of experience between us. Although we specialise in working with smaller organisations that have either small or no development teams, we’ve built solutions for some pretty big organisations too.
