We live in uncertain times

Politically, economically, technologically we live in fast-changing times. This creates uncertainty. How do you make decisions when the world is changing so quickly?

You’ll have read about the 4th Industrial Revolution, but how does it apply to your company? Not tomorrow, today?

We can help.

The Aunir team were frustrated with an idiosyncratic manufacturing in-house software. We made a new - custom - platform which analyses grain-feed samples from Near Infra-Red (NIR) scanners in real time and provides reports of global trends – all in the cloud.

Created in collaboration with the in-house IT team, this is a marketable solution which supports their international growth plans.

“You guys have done an amazing job, the best UX team we’ve worked with in 15 years.”

Working on a new intranet, the IT team and the marketing team hit an impasse. How to look good while accommodating strict security controls.

We achieved this while significantly simplifying the navigation making it easier for teams to quickly find the data they need.

Jaguar Land Rover had commissioned a new digital asset management platform, but mid-way through the project lost confidence in the vendors.

We took ownership of the project delivery, sorting out the User Experience, getting it done on time & budget within strict IT and security governance rules.

Working with Regenersis – who handled all the returns and reconditioning of mobile phone handsets across Europe – we eliminated outdated spreadsheets for management reporting.

We created clean mobile friendly dashboards with a simple traffic light system to flush out problems quickly.

Complex legacy systems were holding back the growth of this ambitious part-public-sector business. By opening up their data in an API layer we were able to create a custom CRM platform quicker and at less cost than licensing.

Now enjoying a clear competitive advantage, BGH have better information faster, plus the ability to quickly innovate new digital services built on the API.

“I hope you know we wouldn’t have had another record breaking year without you. Fact.”

We built their fundraising platform, integrating simple methods to track data and allow them to see, and focus on, the most effective activities.

This long established publisher needed to modernise its legacy systems but faced tight budgets, limited resource and internal scepticism.

We showed ROI on small investments – starting with £2500 – we could release further budget and broader change including a new e-commerce platform.

The clock was ticking for an old customer database system to go offline, which would make this UK-wide charity go offline.

Digital experts said the replacement would cost £200k. We did it for £80k, and now work strategically with the CEO to more strategically unlock value for this charity on a mission.

The VC behind this medical start-up had – in order to save money – sent the technology build offshore, but they couldn’t deliver the strict regulatory and security requirements. We took it off their hands, finishing it against a tight deadline.
