Software Development in Braintree
Internal tools, stock and job systems, and back-office automation for Braintree and north Essex businesses. Fixed prices, built in weeks, yours to keep.
Braintree's business base is weighted towards manufacturing, logistics, distribution and trade, helped by the A120 and the industrial estates around the town. These are businesses that run on process, and on a surprising amount of paper and spreadsheet.
The software problem here is rarely customer-facing. It is job sheets, stock, scheduling, deliveries, compliance records and the handover between the office and the people out doing the work. Most of it is tracked in a spreadsheet that one person maintains, which works right up until that person is on holiday.
What this usually looks like in Braintree
For a manufacturer or distributor, the first build is usually an internal system: jobs, stock or deliveries in one place, visible to the office and the floor, with a history you can search properly.
From £5,000 and around four weeks. For a trade business, the more common starting point is a quote calculator at £2,500, so estimates stop being rebuilt from scratch every time.
What it costs
Published, fixed, and the same wherever you are in Essex. Bigger bespoke systems are scoped individually.

Looking for app developers in Braintree?
We build iOS and Android apps from a single codebase, and we publish our own. Gnomie, a UK garden care app, is live on the App Store under Glide Marketing Ltd, so we have been through Apple review as a publisher rather than only as a contractor.
Quoted per app. A focused first version, on the App Store, usually inside eight to twelve weeks.
Building something for a Braintree business?
One call, an hour at most. If there is something worth building we will give you a fixed price and a date. If there is not, we will tell you that instead.
Software development in Braintree: your questions
That is one of the most common jobs we take on, and the spreadsheet is usually more capable than people expect. The problem is not that it works badly, it is that it has no permissions, no history, no backup and exactly one person who fully understands it. We normally keep the logic that works and rebuild it as something the whole business can use safely.
Usually, and it changes the design. Anything used on a van, in a yard or on a factory floor has to work on a phone, with gloves on, on bad signal. That is a different build from an office system and we would rather know at scoping than retrofit it afterwards.
No. Braintree is twenty minutes up the road and several of our long-standing client relationships are in north Essex. Software work is mostly remote regardless, but nothing about the location makes a build harder.
