Systems and process assessment
Identify needs, dependencies, constraints and operational obstacles.
Technology consulting to decide what to build and how to make it work
A business need often starts with open questions: improve the current system, connect tools or build something new. We review your operations and options to turn those questions into decisions and an actionable plan.
When you need to decide before you build
Several options and none is clear
Improve the current system, integrate tools or build something new. We compare them with explicit criteria before you invest.
Systems that do not talk to each other
Each team uses its own tool and data is copied by hand. We map dependencies to decide what to connect first.
A big project with no first step
We break the plan into phases so the first one delivers value and lowers the risk of the next.
What we can work on together
Options with clear criteria
Compare building, integrating and adapting, considering scope, operating costs and maintenance.
Solution architecture
Define components, data, integrations and security criteria to guide development.
A staged roadmap
Order priorities, risks, responsibilities and milestones around a useful first phase.
How we put it into practice
-
Understand
Meet stakeholders and review processes, systems and goals.
-
Evaluate
Compare options and explain their benefits, limits and dependencies.
-
Decide
Deliver the agreed architecture and plan; we can support or carry out implementation.
What you receive
A deliverable for making a decision, not a generic report.
What it includes
- Assessment of processes, systems and constraints
- Comparison of options, including operating and maintenance costs
- Proposed architecture: components, data, integrations and security
- A phased roadmap with priorities, risks and owners
What it excludes
- Development and implementation, quoted separately if you need them
- Licences or subscriptions for the recommended tools
Before we start
Do I need complete requirements?
No. We can start with the problem and your current systems. The assessment helps define objectives and requirements.
Can you implement the plan?
Yes. We can continue with development, integrations, data, cloud or security within an agreed scope, or hand documentation to your team.
How is this different from an hourly technical advisory?
An advisory session answers one specific question. Consulting reviews the whole operation and delivers an architecture and a roadmap to decide on a project.
Do you recommend third-party tools?
Yes, when they fit better than building. We say so even if it means not developing anything, and we explain the recurring costs of each option.

Custom software development for the way your business works
If your operation relies on spreadsheets, emails and repeated tasks, we turn that process into a tool of your own. We build the data, screens and connections your team needs to work.
API integration to connect your systems and stop copying data by hand
An order, enquiry or stock change should not require updating several tools by hand. We connect your applications so data reaches the right place and you can see what happened.
Cloud consulting for infrastructure your team can operate and understand
We design, migrate and configure cloud infrastructure for your applications. We define how to deploy, observe and recover the service, and which costs to plan for.
Database services: organised data that helps your operation find answers
We design databases, organise information and connect the data your team works with. We address slow queries, migrations and records spread across tools.
