Bespoke software · East Midlands

Software built around the way your business works.

We design and build custom systems for small and medium-sized businesses, so you stop bending your processes to fit off-the-shelf tools.

Sound familiar?

When generic software stops fitting

Most growing businesses reach a point where their tools hold them back. That's usually when they talk to us.

Running on spreadsheets

Critical parts of the business live in spreadsheets and generic tools that were never designed for how you work.

Drowning in manual admin

Hours every week lost to re-keying data, chasing paperwork and jobs a system could do for you.

Outgrown your tools

What worked at five people creaks at fifty. The software hasn't kept up with the business.

Nothing quite fits

You've tried the off-the-shelf options, but none handle your particular mix of requirements without workarounds.

How it works

From first chat to live system

We cover the full lifecycle, so you have one team from the first conversation to long after launch.

  1. 01

    Scope

    We learn how your business really works, including the processes, the people and the pain points, and agree what the system needs to do.

  2. 02

    Design

    We map out the workflows and screens with you, so you can see and shape the system before a line of code is written.

  3. 03

    Build

    We build in stages, showing you working software as we go so there are no surprises at the end.

  4. 04

    Support

    Once it's live, we stay on hand to support, maintain and grow the system as your business changes.

Why Southmarsh

Software that fits, from people you can talk to

We sit between generic SaaS tools and large development agencies: fully bespoke software, with a local, personal approach.

Built to fit, not adapted

Every system is built from scratch around your processes. No forcing your team to work around someone else's product.

Local and hands-on

Based in the East Midlands, we work closely with you, offering a more personal service than a large agency.

Start to finish, and after

Scoping, design, build and ongoing support, all from the same team who understands your system.

For any sector

We work with businesses of all kinds, not just tech companies. If it has a process, we can build around it.

Who we work with

Growing businesses with real operational complexity

We typically work with businesses of 5 to 250 people. Our clients are owners, MDs and operations managers who know their processes deserve better than a workaround.
