Services

Everything between a business problem and a system in production.

Seven practices that share one delivery method, one account lead and one invoice. Jump to the one you came for.

01 — Software Development

Systems built around your operation, not around a product roadmap.

When off-the-shelf software forces your team into workarounds, the workaround becomes the process. We build the thing the process actually needs — order management, claims handling, scheduling, pricing engines, internal tooling — and integrate it with what you already run.

Domain-first design. We model your business language into the schema, so reports later do not need translation.
Integration as a first-class concern. Sage, Salesforce, NHS Spine, payment rails, EDI — mapped and monitored, not bolted on.
Exit-ready from day one. Your repositories, your cloud accounts, documented runbooks.

02 — Web Application Development

Portals and dashboards people can actually use at 4pm on a Friday.

Customer portals, partner extranets, booking flows, admin consoles and commerce fronts. We design for the slowest device and the least patient user on your list, then let everything else benefit.

Design system, not page-by-page. Components your team can extend without calling us back.
Accessibility tested with assistive tech, not just a scanner score.
Performance budgets in CI — a slow page fails the build, not the launch.
03 — Mobile Application Development

From concept to store review, and every release after that.

Native where the hardware matters, cross-platform where speed matters, and an honest recommendation about which one your case calls for. We take responsibility for the parts that usually get dropped: store submissions, crash triage, staged rollouts and version deprecation.

Offline-first where field teams need it — sync conflicts designed, not discovered.
Store compliance handled, including privacy manifests and data-safety declarations.
Crash-free target agreed up front and reported weekly against it.

04 — Testing & QA Services

Make the release boring again.

Whether you need a QA function stood up from nothing or an existing suite rescued from flakiness, we run testing as a service with named engineers and a published quality dashboard. Regression packs move into CI so a failing test stops a bad release instead of explaining one.

Flake triage in week one. A test suite nobody trusts is worse than none.
Risk-based prioritisation. We test what would hurt, in the order it would hurt.
Independent of the build team when governance requires separation of duties.
05 — Digital Marketing

Marketing reported in pipeline, because we can see the pipeline.

Being an engineering firm changes how we run growth: the tracking is instrumented properly, the CRM is wired to the ad platforms, and the dashboard shows qualified opportunities rather than a wall of impressions. Search, paid, lifecycle email and content — chosen by what your funnel is short of.

Technical SEO done by engineers — render budgets, schema, migrations without traffic cliffs.
Consent-compliant analytics under UK GDPR, with server-side tagging where it helps.
One dashboard joining spend, sessions, leads and closed revenue.

06 — IT Recruitment & Staffing

People screened by people who could do the job themselves.

Every technical candidate is interviewed by an Apex engineer from the same discipline before you see the CV. That is the whole difference: you get three or four people worth your time instead of twenty worth a keyword match.

Contract, permanent or a managed team we run end to end on your behalf.
UK compliance handled — right-to-work checks, IR35 determinations, references and DBS where required.
Transparent rate cards. You see the margin. No surprises at renewal.
Commercials

Four ways to buy.

Pick the one that matches how certain the scope is. We will tell you if you have picked the expensive one.

MODEL A

Dedicated squad

A cross-functional team on a monthly rate, working your backlog. Best when the work is ongoing and priorities move.

MODEL B

Fixed scope

Defined deliverables, fixed price, staged payments. Best when the specification is genuinely settled.

MODEL C

Staff augmentation

Named engineers inside your team and your process, day rate, 30-day notice.

MODEL D

Managed service

Support, QA or automation run to an agreed SLA with monthly reporting.

Not sure which practice you need?

Describe the problem. We will map it to the work.

Most requests cut across two or three of these. A short call is usually faster than a specification document.
