# Software Development in Basildon

Source: https://dijituldevelopments.co.uk/locations/basildon/

> dijitul builds bespoke software, web applications and integrations for Basildon businesses, from engineering and manufacturing firms to distributors along the A127 and A13. We work remotely from our office in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, and every project is given a fixed-price quote after a free chat and a scoping stage that sets out exactly what we will build.

Basildon was one of the post-war new towns, designated in 1949 to rehouse people from London, and it was planned with large employment areas that still define its economy. Manufacturing remains at the heart of the town. Ford's Dunton Technical Centre, on the edge of the borough, is the company's main UK engineering and design centre. CNH Industrial builds New Holland tractors at its plant in the town, and Leonardo designs and builds defence electronics here. Costa Coffee's roastery is also in Basildon.

Those large employers sit alongside hundreds of smaller engineering, electronics, printing, packaging and building products firms on estates such as Southfields and Burnt Mills. The A127 and A13 connect the town to the M25, London and the Thames ports, including London Gateway at Stanford-le-Hope, which has made the area attractive for warehousing and distribution.

Basildon Hospital is a major employer, and South Essex College has a campus in the town. The Festival Leisure Park and the town centre support retail and hospitality jobs.

The projects we tend to discuss with Basildon businesses include:

- Production scheduling, works orders and traceability for manufacturers supplying automotive, agricultural and defence customers
- Engineering change control and document management tools
- Supplier portals and EDI integrations for firms in large customers' supply chains
- Warehouse and transport dashboards for distributors near the Thames ports
- Replacements for ageing in-house systems written years ago and no longer supported

Defence and automotive supply chains expect strong security, so we build with role-based access, audit logs, encrypted storage and documented change control from the start.

### Do you cover Billericay, Wickford and Thurrock?

Yes. dijitul works remotely with businesses across south Essex, including Billericay, Wickford, Pitsea, Laindon, Grays and Stanford-le-Hope. The process is the same wherever you are: a free chat, a scoping stage and a fixed-price quote.

### Can you manage engineering changes and drawing revisions?

Yes. We build change control systems where requests are raised, reviewed and approved through defined workflows, with every drawing and document versioned. Production always sees the current revision, and the full history of who approved what is kept for audits.

### Our in-house system is old and unsupported. What are our options?

We start with a code audit to understand risks and dependencies. Then we either stabilise and upgrade the existing system, for example moving to a supported PHP or framework version, or rebuild it in stages while migrating the data, so the business keeps running throughout.
