Software from real work

Software that fits the way the work already happens.

Four apps in daily use — in a working contractor, a registered charity and a busy household — and custom builds for the awkward processes that nothing off the shelf quite covers.

Focused custom builds from £300. You'd be talking to the person who designs and builds it.

Ready to use

Four apps, each built for a particular kind of work.

Each one began as an answer to a problem we had ourselves, took its shape from real working days, and is supported by the person who built it.

Made for you

When nothing off the shelf quite fits.

It might be a spreadsheet, a WhatsApp thread, some duplicated admin, or a process only one person understands. Tell us how it works today and we'll shape a tool around it.

Plain English is fine — and if Peter doesn't think it's worth building, he'll say so.

  1. 01

    Where the work sticks

    No technical brief needed — just what happens now, and what a good day would look like.

  2. 02

    Something working, early

    You see real software while it is still easy to change, rather than waiting months for a big reveal.

  3. 03

    Refined against real use

    It goes to the people doing the job, and we adjust what matters once it is in their hands.

Behind the apps

Built by someone who has had to make the numbers, the people and the day line up.

Peter Edwards is a director of a working surfacing and groundworks contractor, chairman of a poverty-prevention charity, and spent nine years as a pub landlord. That background tends to show up in the questions asked and the details noticed.

  • Commercial realityMargins, payroll, cash flow and the cost of entering the same thing twice.
  • Human realityFor a busy team, a clear next action usually beats another system to administer.
  • Direct accountabilityThe person making the promise is the one designing, building and supporting it.
