If your you are thinking about having a custom application developed, then give us a call.  We offer a highly personal and efficient service, that will keep you in the loop every step of the way. 

We can develop all manner of systems that live on either the server or client, running Microsoft Windows or some form of Unix.

Business Applications using Windows Server and Clients

In the world of computers there is no doubt that the Microsoft Windows platform is the "de facto" standard platform that most businesses rely on. 

We are fully conversant with this platform and can develop high quality and reliable multi tier business applications using the latest architectural best practices.

In the past we have developed systems using Windows Services, Web Services, Smart Clients and SQL Databases.

Our development platform of choice is Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 with the Microsoft .NET framework.  Both of which allow us to create high quality applications in a cost effective manner.

We can also supply high quality servers and associated equipment to run your new system at very competitive prices, call us for a quote.

Industrial Software/Real Time Software

If you need a custom application developing that will be used on a factory floor or in a warehouse instead of an office then we may be able to help in a way that other software houses may not.  We have years of experience in developing systems that will be used in the middle of a factory floor that may not have a keyboard or a mouse or in some cases even a monitor.  These systems have to be highly reliable and may be used by factory floor staff with little or no computer skills.

These systems often have to talk to industrial device such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) that are unlike the computers that most people in the IT world have ever seen.  These devices often expect to talk to the outside world in arcane protocols like Modbus, DF1, or Sinec H1, we can handle all of this internally when most IT "boffins" would be asking where to plug the monitor in!

Items such as barcode scanners, weigh scales and various types of meters and gauges are also common in this environment, we have dealt with many of these before, so give us a call, we may be able to advise on the best equipment for integration purposes.
