The Studio

Use cases

Four ways businesses put the Studio to work.

Four starting points, one system underneath. Whatever we build, it lands on the same rail, ships the same way, and ends up yours.

And if your case is not on this page, that has never stopped anyone: tell us what you are staring at, and we will tell you honestly whether custom software is the answer.

You will like working with us if

You

You have a product in mind

You know exactly what should exist, and you need a team that can design it, build it and launch it with you.
You

Your systems are holding you back

The ERP is aging, the spreadsheet quietly became a database, and every workaround costs a little more than the last.
You

You are done compromising

Generic products almost fit. You want software shaped exactly to how your business works, and you want to own it.
You

You want a partner, not a project

You are not buying a deliverable: you want a product team that ships fast and stays around to keep it alive.

For your customers

Launch your product

You know your industry from the inside and you have a product to bring to it, but no technical team. We are the team you hire: design, build, launch, and a partner who keeps shipping after version one.

Who arrives with this

A founder with the industry, not the team

You know the problem from twenty years inside it, you have the first customers waiting, and you have no engineers. Or you have a team already busy keeping the current business running.
What we build

The product, end to end

The shape of it with you, then the real thing: the accounts, the core workflow, the payments, the admin side you will actually run it from, on infrastructure in your own accounts.
What you get

Something live, early, that you steer

Running software in weeks rather than a specification in months, so the first users hit it while changing it is still cheap. After launch, the same team keeps shipping.
The shape of one

A first version in weeks, then a rhythm

An audit and a plan, a first version your early users can use, then a fortnightly rhythm of changes on the same rail. You own the repositories from the first commit.

For your operations

ERP & legacy rebuilds

The system your business has outgrown, rebuilt: we take over the aging ERP or custom software your operation depends on and replace it with one built around how you work now, without stopping the machine to do it.

Who arrives with this

An operation the software is now slowing down

The system was right when it was built. Since then the business changed, the vendor moved on or disappeared, and every new requirement costs more than the last. Nobody can risk switching it off.
What we build

The replacement, beside the original

We read the old system and the way your people actually work around it, then build the new one alongside it and move the work across piece by piece, with the data.
What you get

A migration nobody has to survive

No big-bang weekend, no frozen quarter. Each part goes live when it is better than what it replaces, and the old system stays up until nothing needs it.
The shape of one

An audit first, then module by module

The audit maps the processes and the data and gives you the order to do it in, with the numbers. You keep that plan whether or not we build it.

For your operations

Internal tools

The process that lives in spreadsheets, inboxes and habit deserves real software. We build the tool your team is missing, shaped exactly to how you work.

Get a quote How we ship it

Who arrives with this

A team running the business on habit

The process lives in a spreadsheet somebody maintains, a shared inbox, and the knowledge in one person’s head. It works, until it is a Friday and that person is away.
What we build

The tool the work already implies

One place for the thing your team does all day, shaped around how they do it now rather than around how a product vendor thinks they should: the fields they use, the steps in their order, the exports they still need.
What you get

Hours back, and the process out of one head

The manual steps disappear, the spreadsheet stops being load bearing, and the way the work is done becomes something the company owns rather than something a person remembers.
The shape of one

Small, fast, and used from week one

These are the shortest engagements we run: the people who will use it are in the room, and the first version is in their hands while the design is still soft.

For your customers

Client portals

A branded space where your clients follow the work, share documents and always know where things stand. Fewer status emails, more trust.

Get a quote How we ship it

Who arrives with this

A business that spends its day on status

Your clients want to know where things stand, so they call and they mail, and your team answers the same questions in different words. Documents travel as attachments nobody can find again.
What we build

A space in your name, one view per client

Each client signs in and sees their own work, their own documents and their own history, with your brand on it, fed by the systems your team already uses rather than by a second place to update.
What you get

Fewer status calls, more trust

The questions stop arriving because the answer is already there, and a client who can see the work in progress is a client who can see the value of it.
The shape of one

On top of what you already run

Usually the fastest way in: the portal reads your existing systems, so it can be live long before any of them is replaced.
