A timber yard beside a Scottish loch at golden hour

Selected work

Different businesses.
The same expensive friction.

Bespoke systems designed around the people using them and the outcome the business actually needs.

One view replaced eleven.

The situation

Numbers lived in eleven places. Every Monday began with the same spreadsheet being rebuilt by hand.

What we built

A bespoke operational view pulling APIs, email, marketing and finance systems into one calm dashboard.

What changed

Answers arrive before the questions do. The weekly ritual is gone and the data finally agrees with itself.

Days of reading, done before lunch.

The situation

Project documents and drawings arrived in their hundreds. Somebody senior read all of them, slowly.

What we built

A platform that reads documents and drawings, finds what matters, builds the timeline and prepares client-ready outputs. Built for a project consultancy whose clients deliver major works for some of the world’s largest technology companies.

What changed

The reading happens in minutes. The judgement stays with the people paid to have it.

Fitness · Member challenge portal

Admin hours returned to coaching.

The situation

Sign-ups on paper, progress in group chats, results in a very tired spreadsheet.

What we built

A member-facing challenge platform: sign-ups, weekly progress, leaderboards and coach admin in one place.

What changed

Members compete instead of chasing updates, and the coaches spend their evenings coaching.

Recruitment · Candidate intelligence

The shortlist writes itself.

The situation

Consultants buried in CVs. Reading each one, retyping the details into the CRM, and matching candidates to roles from memory.

What we built

A platform that reads and parses CVs, extracts skills and experience, surfaces matching candidates for live roles, and transfers everything straight into the firm’s CRM. No retyping.

What changed

Reading happens in minutes. Candidates arrive in the CRM complete and searchable. Consultants spend their time talking to people, not transcribing them.

Every one of these started as a spreadsheet somebody dreaded opening

Good. That’s the point.
