What it covers
Software shaped around how the business runs.
Every business app starts from a workflow. We map how the work happens now, find the repeated or error-prone parts, and agree the smallest useful first version before building anything.
- Dashboards and portalsOne place for the numbers, jobs or clients your team checks every day, with private access for staff or customers.
- Operational toolsStock, jobs, bookings, boxes or preparation work tracked through clear states rather than a shared spreadsheet.
- Automation between systemsInformation moving between the tools you already use, following agreed rules instead of copy-and-paste.
- Roles and permissionsWho can see and change what, with approvals on sensitive actions and a record of changes.
- Documents and workflowsInvoices, quotes, labels, checklists and handovers generated from the same records the team works from.
- AI where it has a jobChat, lookup or drafting that helps a person answer faster, with handover to a human and clear limits.
- ReportingA view of what is happening, so decisions rest on the business's own data rather than a guess.
- Integration limits statedWhat can connect, what cannot, and what a third party controls is written down before the build.
How it works
Discovery, scope, build, handover.
Discovery
We walk through the workflow, the people and the tools involved. You get a plain description of what could be improved and what it would take.
Scope
We agree the smallest useful first version and quote it. No fixed price is invented before the work is understood, and extras are listed separately.
Build
We build in stages and show you working software early. Feedback shapes the next stage rather than arriving after everything is finished.
Handover
You keep the code, the data and the documentation. We can train your team and stay on for support if you want it.
Public proof
A live business system, not a concept.
EduBooks · Education and fulfilment
A shop, a warehouse platform and support in one project.
The public bookshop sits in front of BoxFlow, the operational system for catalogue stock, box and pallet preparation and Amazon FBA labels. Paid orders feed into the work; shipping tools handle courier quotes, labels and tracking; AI chat and a phone assistant carry routine questions.
Inside the EduBooks system
3D product viewers can be part of a business app where a customer benefits from inspecting a product from every angle. See the 3D capability examples
Controls and limits
Automation that keeps a person in charge.
Automation is only useful when it can be trusted. Each rule is agreed, each sensitive action can need a human approval, and the system records what changed and when. Where an integration cannot do something, that is stated plainly rather than hidden behind a workaround.
AI is added where it has a specific job, such as answering routine questions from the catalogue or drafting a reply. It does not quietly run the business: consequential decisions stay with your team, and a customer can always reach a person.
Where it sits
The owner app is included. The full system is bespoke.
Custom app or automation
Bespoke quoted after discovery
Full ERP-style systems, warehouse and shipping workflows, multi-team portals or AI phone integration. Scoped around your process and quoted before the build.

When the job is selling products: catalogue, basket, checkout, stock and orders. A custom app is for the operation behind or beside the shop.

Search setup and optional care.
Websites connected to a business app still include the standard SEO setup: useful copy, relevant titles and descriptions, structured data, a sitemap and Search Console. Google Business Profile setup is considered where the business is eligible. Search and AI systems choose what they show, so a sitemap or schema cannot guarantee a ranking, a map position or an AI citation.
Optional care is £39/month, cancel anytime: UK hosting, SSL, daily backups, security maintenance, uptime monitoring, a monthly search-health check and up to 30 minutes of small content and SEO updates combined each month, plus a short report. Custom systems support is agreed separately.
Questions
Business app and automation questions.
What counts as a business app or automation?
A private tool built around one business's work: a dashboard, client or supplier portal, stock or job tracker, or an automation that moves information between systems. If the job is repeated, has rules and would be clearer in one place, it is worth a conversation.
How much does a custom app cost?
There is no fixed price, because the work depends on the workflow and the integrations. We run a short discovery, agree the smallest useful first version, and quote that scope before anything is built. Any discovery cost and development price are agreed before that work starts.
How is this different from the Business owner app?
The £1,495 Business package already includes an owner app for bookings, enquiries, invoices, galleries and WhatsApp contact. Full ERP-style systems, warehouse and shipping workflows and AI phone integration go beyond that and are bespoke, scoped work.
Can it connect to the systems we already use?
Often, if the system offers a usable integration or API. We check what your accounts, CRM, stock, shipping or calendar tools actually allow before promising a connection. Where no integration exists, that limit is stated rather than worked around silently.
Will the AI run things on its own?
No. Automation follows rules you agree, and AI suggestions are kept where a person can review them. We do not build systems that take consequential actions, such as payments or refunds, without a human decision. Autonomy is designed deliberately, not assumed.
Who controls what the app is allowed to do?
You do. Roles and permissions decide which person or team can see and change what. Sensitive actions can need approval, and every change can be recorded so there is a clear history of who did what and when.
How long does a custom system take?
The timeline depends on the scope and integrations, and we agree it after discovery. Larger systems are delivered in stages, so something useful can be used early while the rest is built around it.
Do we own the app and the data?
Yes. You own the domain, code and content, and your data stays yours. You can take the work elsewhere, and you are not locked to us for hosting or support — though optional care and support are available if you want them.
