Custom software for UK merchants and distributors
Your stock, quotes and invoices in one system. Built around how you work.
Most merchants and distributors run on spreadsheets, paper delivery notes and apps that don't talk to each other. We replace them with one system built for your business, at a fixed price. You own the code.

See what we buildWhat we fix
If one of these sounds familiar, we should talk.
- 01
The same order typed in three times.
It arrives by email, someone copies it into a spreadsheet, someone else re-enters it in accounts. Every step costs time and adds a mistake.
- 02
Month-end invoicing by hand.
Statements get rebuilt from delivery notes, emails and spreadsheets. Miss one line and the customer spots it before you do.
- 03
Spreadsheets on five computers.
Everyone has their own copy and nobody knows which one is right. The day it corrupts, there is no backup.
- 04
Stock nobody trusts.
The real numbers live in someone's head. So you sell what you don't have and sit on what you do.

Most systems we build for merchants and distributors fall between £9,000 and £15,000. No per-user fees, ever.
Why not off-the-shelf software?
Per-user software for 15 people can easily cost £900 a month, every month, and you still have to bend your business around it. A system built for you costs about the same over a few years, does exactly what you need, and belongs to you.
FAQ
Your questions, answered
You're based in Italy. What if you disappear?
From day one the code, the repository and the cloud account are in your company's name. Any developer can pick it up.
Where is our data?
In the UK, on Microsoft Azure (UK South). We sign a data processing agreement with you before we touch any data.
How do we work together day to day?
Italy is one hour ahead of the UK. Video calls in your working hours, replies within one working day, and a demo every two weeks.
What if we think of new things halfway through?
The Blueprint fixes scope and price. New ideas are quoted separately before any work starts, never billed by surprise.
Do you connect to our accounting software?
We connect to Xero and QuickBooks through their official APIs, so invoices are never typed twice. For Sage, we agree the best option during the Blueprint.
How do you invoice?
In pounds, from our VAT-registered business in Italy. As a UK business you account for VAT under the reverse charge, as with any overseas supplier.
Who you'll work with
One point of contact, from first call to support.
The person who maps your process is the same one who builds your system and looks after it afterwards. No account managers, no handovers. 10 years building business systems in .NET and Azure, for banks, enterprise platforms and small businesses.
