It's been a busy month for the team here. In amongst the work we've been doing to help our clients improve processes, reduce stress and increase capacity, we've won some awards!
This time, we've won Best Bespoke Business Software Development Company 2022 in the SME News UK Enterprise Awards 2022
We've also won Best Digital Transformation Consultancy - Northern England in the Fintech Awards 2022 hosted by Wealth & Finance International.
We're always proud of the awards we win - they are testament to the care and passion we put in to our work, and they show that the hard work definitely pays off.
Our clients deserve a special mention too, because without them, these awards would be hot air! And that would just be balo(o)ney!
How much capacity is your business leaving behind?
Use the calculator to estimate what slow processes, manual work and disconnected systems could really be costing you.
AI can now write a lot of the code we used to pay developers to write. That doesn’t make software engineering irrelevant. It makes the bit that was always more important much harder to ignore: understanding what should be built in the first place.
Vibe coding can turn your assumptions into working software incredibly quickly. But if the assumption is wrong, you’ve simply built the wrong thing faster. Good engineering starts before the app, CRM or automation. It starts by understanding how the business actually works, where people add judgement, and which parts of the process shouldn’t exist at all.
Four interruptions can wipe nearly two hours from the useful part of a working day, and that’s before you count the interruption itself. Add long manual processes, routine human error, rework and stress, and you get a working environment where good people spend too much time recovering, correcting and chasing.
The answer isn’t to tell people to focus harder. It’s to design a better system, one that drives the process, preserves context, moves routine work automatically and only interrupts people when their judgement is genuinely needed.
A five-minute approval can leave work waiting for days. Once a quote, purchase, job or invoice misses its slot, the delay spreads into the rest of the process.
People switch tasks, schedules move, customers wait and cash arrives later. The decision itself may be quick, but the queue around it can cost far more than anyone realises.
