# Software Development in Canterbury

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

> dijitul develops bespoke software, web applications and integrations for Canterbury businesses, including tourism and hospitality operators, education providers, farms and food producers, and independent retailers. We work remotely from our Mansfield office, and once we have had a free chat about what you need, we provide a fixed-price quote for the agreed scope.

Canterbury is one of England's most historic cities. Canterbury Cathedral, St Augustine's Abbey and St Martin's Church together form a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the city draws visitors from around the world, supporting a large hospitality, retail and tour sector within and around the medieval walls. The Marlowe Theatre is a major regional venue.

Education is the other pillar of the local economy. The University of Kent and Canterbury Christ Church University bring a large student population to the city, alongside further education colleges and English language schools. Kent and Canterbury Hospital is a significant employer. The surrounding district, including Whitstable and Herne Bay, has strong fruit, hop, wine and food production, a well-known seafood trade and many small rural businesses. High speed trains link Canterbury West to London St Pancras.

The result is a business base with seasonal peaks and a high number of customer bookings:

- Booking and availability systems for guest houses, tour operators and activity providers

- Student accommodation and lettings software for landlords and agents

- Enrolment, homestay and course management tools for language schools

- Order, harvest and delivery tracking for growers, farm shops and food producers

- Ecommerce integrations for independent shops and producers selling online

Language schools and accommodation providers often coordinate students, host families, courses and transfers through spreadsheets and email. A focused web app that matches bookings to rooms and courses, sends confirmations and handles payments through Stripe can save hours each week, especially in the summer peak.
