Software Services

Application Software

Given details of your requirements we can analyse, cost and quote for any kind of software your company may need. From hardware control, data logging, visualisation and numeric analysis to data storage and retrieval or any facet of your business that you think you can apply a software solution to - we can provide fully tested and documented software solution for any of your needs.

Control Software

We have a great deal of experience working with a variety of different types of hardware, including (but not limited to) telephony hardware, multi-axis robots, balances, pharmaceutical liquid-handlers and HPLC units. We can also acquire and log data from sensor hardware for storage, visualisation and future analysis.

Web Development

We can offer small-scale website development for businesses to their specification using whatever facilities they have available (though we regret that we cannot provide domains nor hosting). Our preferred development platform is LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) but can adapt to any combination of back-end server and database engine that may already be present.

Rates

Total cost will vary between projects depending on the type of project, resource availability and time constraints. All development costs will be pre-calculated and you will not be invoiced for more than was quoted (excluding specificatoin changes and additions) - even if the final development costs are greater than the agreed estimate.

Our current daily rate is £225 per person and represents 7.5 hours (one UK working day) of project development time. Note that our quoted development time is not directly link to date of completion.

At the end of the development cycle you will be delivered a working installer or a usable installation as per the original quote. We will also deliver any of the project's source code as covered by the quotation - we reserve the right to develop reusable components not included in the quote and ship them in compiled/binary form only.
