What we do
Operational systems
Data-readiness audits, source mapping and review-ready dashboards. We start from the exports and spreadsheets you already have and show what is reliable, what is missing, and what you can decide from today.
Automation
Scheduled refreshes, alerts and workflow automation for repeatable admin and checks. Added once the data can be trusted, with a person approving anything that touches money, customers or staff.
Software and websites
Websites, internal tools and integrations, built in React, TypeScript and Python. Fast, accessible, tested and documented.
Your business, mapped
Every department, its data, and the work that runs on it
This is how we map a business before we build anything: each department, the jobs that run there every week, where their data comes from, and what they are built on. Pick a department to follow its lines.

Where to start
A Systems Health Check
Something in your workflow or systems is unreliable or wasteful, and nobody can say exactly what. A Health Check takes one narrow problem, follows it across the handful of systems and people it runs through, and tells you what is wrong and what to do first. It takes a few working days.
A map of how it works today
How the work and the data actually move between your systems and your team, written down so everyone can see it.
Findings, in priority order
What is going wrong, each with its evidence and what it costs you, ranked, with the quick fixes you can make straight away.
One recommended next step
A single, bounded piece of work to close the biggest gap. Never a plan to modernise the whole business.
We agree the boundary in writing before work starts. Anything we notice outside it is written down for you, and the work does not grow without your say.
Your customers' data stays in your systems, or in a private workspace set up for your business alone.
From your sources to an approved action
Till exports
Sales, as your till records them
Bookings
Covers and times from your booking system
Spreadsheets
The sheets the team already keeps
Approved.
Decisions are flagged for review with their sources shown, and taken when a person says so.
Templates
A first system, by kind of business
Where we would start for each kind of business: its departments, the tools it probably uses already, the gaps we look for, the first pipeline, and who approves what.
departments: kitchen, front of house, bookings, purchasing, finance already_uses: a till, a booking system, a rota app, accounts, spreadsheets gaps: stock counted on paper; no weekly view across sites first_pipeline: till + stock + bookings → a draft weekly order agents: order drafter, rota reminder, review-reply drafter approves: head chef (orders), manager (replies)
departments: front desk, treatments, retail, marketing already_uses: online booking, a till, social accounts gaps: no-shows chased by hand; retail stock unknown first_pipeline: no-shows → a rebooking message drafted approves: the front-desk lead
departments: shop floor, online, buying, finance already_uses: Shopify or Square, Xero, an email tool gaps: shop and online stock disagree first_pipeline: nightly stock check → a reorder list approves: the buyer
