Software for Burton upon Trent businesses
Burton upon Trent is Britain's brewing capital. The town's gypsum-rich water made it ideal for pale ales in the nineteenth century, and names such as Bass, Worthington and Ind Coope grew up here. Today Molson Coors brews Carling in Burton, the National Brewery Centre tells the town's story, and the brewing industry has left behind a food and drink economy that includes the Marmite factory, which uses yeast from the brewing process.
The A38 links Burton to Derby and Birmingham, and the A50 runs east to the M1, which has made the area a strong location for warehousing and distribution. Business parks such as Centrum 100 host logistics, manufacturing and office occupiers. Toyota's car plant at Burnaston sits between Burton and Derby, supporting automotive suppliers in the area, and St George's Park, the national football centre, is just outside the town.
Queen's Hospital is a major employer, and Burton and South Derbyshire College trains much of the local workforce. The National Forest, which surrounds the town, has encouraged tourism and leisure businesses too.
Food and drink businesses here face strict requirements around traceability, allergens, duty and retailer audits, and many juggle several systems that don't share data. Typical projects include:
- Batch and lot traceability linking raw materials, production runs and dispatched orders
- Trade ordering portals for pubs, bars and wholesalers, integrated with stock and accounting
- Duty and production reporting pulled automatically from production records
- Transport planning and proof of delivery apps for drinks distribution
- Dashboards combining sales, production and stock data for management teams
We build these around the systems you already use, connecting them through APIs so data is entered once.

How we work with Burton upon Trent clients
We work remotely from Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, using video calls, shared staging sites you can click around in and short build stages you can see. Every project gets a fixed-price quote after a free initial chat and a short scoping stage. You own the code and the data. We have been building software and integrations for UK businesses since 2006.
Free chat
Tell us the problem in plain English: what you do now, what goes wrong and what "better" looks like. No charge, no obligation.
Scoping
We map the processes, systems and data involved, agree what is in and out, and write it down so there are no surprises.
Fixed-price quote
You get a fixed price for the agreed scope, or a phased plan for bigger builds, so you can start small and prove it works.
Build and test
We build in short stages you can see and try, test against real data, then go live carefully with a rollback plan.
Hand over and look after
You own the code and the data. We can host it, support it and keep improving it, or hand it to your own team.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Swadlincote, Uttoxeter and Ashby-de-la-Zouch?
Yes. dijitul works remotely with businesses around Burton, including Swadlincote, Uttoxeter, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Barton-under-Needwood and Derby. We are based in Mansfield, so a face-to-face meeting is also realistic if a project needs one, though most work runs well over video calls.
Can you build traceability for a brewery or food business?
Yes. We build systems that record ingredients, batches, production runs and packaging, and link them to the orders they went out on. A recall or audit trace that once took a day of paperwork becomes a search that takes seconds, with a printable report.
Can pubs and bars order from us online?
Yes. We build trade ordering portals where account customers see their own prices, order history and delivery days, and place orders from a phone. Orders flow into your stock and accounting systems automatically, and delivery routes can be planned from the same data.
