What we can build

Every system below was scoped, built and shipped with full ownership. Different domains, same engineering. The range here is what we build across SaaS products and custom software: data pipelines, dashboards, automation, integrations and full-stack tools.

Internal delivery tool · B2B demand-gen agency

Rethink Demand

A B2B demand generation agency was running part of its client delivery manually, repeating the same process for every account. We turned it into an internal tool the team owns and runs themselves, removing the manual step from their workflow.

Process

How we take you from idea to live software.

Four clear stages from first call to production. Fixed scope at every step, so you always know what ships, when it ships, and what it costs.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We start with a short call to understand what you are building, who uses it, and what “done” looks like. Before design or code, we capture the product properly.

    • User roles, permissions and core journeys
    • Screens, data model and integrations for v1
    • Success criteria we can test against at handover
  2. 02

    Scope and quote

    You receive a fixed quote for your SaaS or custom software build: written features, delivery window, and payment terms. No open-ended hourly billing.

    • Tier, price and timeline agreed in writing
    • Feature list with acceptance criteria
    • 50/50 on standard builds; Enterprise milestones on the scoping call
  3. 03

    Build

    We build in focused sprints with a private live link early on. Each week you see real software: auth, core screens, integrations and polish, not slide decks.

    • Weekly demo and plain-language progress updates
    • Staging environment you can click through anytime
    • Scope locked; new ideas wait for a follow-on phase
  4. 04

    Handover

    You receive everything needed to run and extend the product without us: repository, hosting access, environment notes and a recorded walkthrough.

    • Full source code and deployment access
    • Handover documentation your team can follow
    • No licence fee, no dependency on our platform

Simple build pricing.

We scope around countable product complexity: users, screens, integrations and compliance needs. Delivery time follows the agreed scope.

Frequently asked questions

What does custom software cost?

SaaS and custom software builds start from £5,000 with fixed scope, written deliverables and 50% upfront / 50% on handover. Enterprise starts from £18,000, with milestones agreed on the scoping call.

How long does a software MVP take?

Focused SaaS and custom software builds can ship from 14 days; larger products and Enterprise scopes take longer depending on integrations, compliance and surface area. Recent projects include a live SaaS in 21 days, a forex research platform in 12 days, and a lead magnet tool in 9 days.

Does the client own the code?

Yes. You receive the full codebase, deployment access, handover documentation and everything needed to run the product yourself. There is no licence lock-in or platform dependency.

What should we build first?

Start with the workflow that proves value fastest: a SaaS MVP, custom internal tool, dashboard, customer portal, or admin workflow. On a discovery call we help you pick the smallest useful v1.

Custom build vs off-the-shelf SaaS?

Use off-the-shelf SaaS when the job is standard. Build custom when your users, data model, approvals or integrations need something owned.
