FROM SAAS SUBSCRIPTIONS
TO SOFTWARE YOU OWN

Replace the tools you rent

Four STAGES.
ONE SYSTEM.
Governance, GDPR and EU AI Act considerations throughout.

THE PROBLEM

Your tools were built for every business. Not yours.

Most companies run on a stack of subscriptions they never really chose. The team learns the workarounds, and the invoices keep arriving.

Bills that grow with headcount

Per-seat pricing means every new hire raises your software cost.

Workarounds everywhere

Spreadsheets, copy-paste and memorised steps fill the gaps the tools leave.

Data in pieces

Each tool holds a slice. Nobody has one clear view of the business.

Someone else's roadmap

The feature you need waits on a vendor's priorities, or never arrives.

HOW IT WORKS

How we replace your SaaS Tools with Bespoke Software

Four stages, from the first conversation to switching off your old subscriptions. You see the progress at each one, and what each stage costs is set out below.

1
STAGE 1

Discover

Find the real pain points: what's working and what isn't.

We start by listening. In a series of discovery sessions with your team, we find the real pain points: what's working, what isn't, and where time and money are being lost. We talk to the people doing the work, not just leadership, so we see how your business actually runs.

You get: a clear picture of your tools, their true cost and the problems worth solving, whether or not you go further with us.

2
STAGE 2

Prepare

Shape the offer and specification around what we found.

We dig into what we found until the picture is clear. Then we bring you our offer, shaped around your business rather than a standard package. Development is billed monthly as we work towards the solution, so you pay for progress you can see, not one large upfront cost.

You get: a specification of what we'll build, what we'll leave out, and what it will cost.

3
STAGE 3

Build

We build, you test, we fix, until it does the right thing.

We build it and you test it. Your team uses it, gives feedback and raises issues as they go. We come back with answers, fixes and new versions, then test again. We repeat that loop until the software does exactly what your business needs.

You get: working software, shaped by the people who will use it every day.

4
STAGE 4

Own

We migrate you over and stay on as your technical team.

Finally, it's yours. We migrate your data, switch you over from your old tools and cancel the subscriptions you no longer need. From then on we're your outsourced technical team: we host the system, fix bugs and stay on for ongoing consulting, so you never look back.

You get: one system you own, and a team behind it.

THE BUILD LOOP

Every user becomes a tester

A feedback button sits on every screen. Your team reports what's wrong or missing while they do their real work, and we turn each report into a fix.

HOW A REPORT BECOMES A FIX

From one click to a live fix

  1. 1Flag itClick feedback, describe the issue and add a screenshot.
  2. 2We pick it upThe report reaches us with the page and context attached.
  3. 3Fix and testChanges are made and tested on a separate copy first.
  4. 4You approveIt goes live under the rules you set.

YOU STAY IN CONTROL

Your software, your data, your rules

  • You own itThe code and the data are yours. Any developer can work on it.
  • You choose where it runsWe host it for you, or it runs on your own servers.
  • You approve changesNothing goes live without passing the checks you set.
  • Governance built inGDPR and EU AI Act considerations are part of the design from day one.

WHAT IT COSTS

Clear costs at every stage

No big upfront invoice, and no bill that grows every time you hire.

Honest fit

Not every Tool should be replaced

Discovery looks at each tool on its own. Where keeping one is the better call, we will tell you.

Worth Replacing

  • Per-seat tools whose bill grows with every hire
  • Workflows bent to fit what the software allows
  • Data split across tools that belongs in one place
  • Features you pay for and never use

Worth Keeping

  • Small, steady bills for tools that already do the job
  • Regulated systems such as payroll and accounting
  • Tools your team is happy working in every day
  • Projects that are about to pay off

FAQ

Questions we get asked

Why isn't Discovery Free?

Because it's real consulting work. We spend time with your teams to find every problem, and you keep the findings whether or not you build with us.

Is this Bespoke Software from scratch?

Not in the usual sense. The tools you already run act as the blueprint. We rebuild what your team relies on and leave out what it doesn't, which keeps cost and risk down.

What happens to our Data during the switch?

Your old tools stay live until switch-over. We migrate and check your records first, so your team keeps working throughout.

What does maintenance cover?

Hosting, bug fixes and ongoing consulting. The price depends on the system you end up with, and we agree it before you switch over.

What if we stop working with you?

You keep everything. The code and data are yours, so another developer can host and maintain it.
