Software for Corby businesses
Corby is a town built on steel. In the 1930s Stewarts and Lloyds opened a huge integrated steelworks here, and thousands of workers moved in, many from Scotland, which is why Corby still has a strong Scottish identity. Steelmaking ended in 1980, but tube making continued, and Tata Steel still produces steel tubes in the town. Corby rebuilt its economy after the closure by attracting manufacturers and distribution businesses to new industrial estates such as Earlstrees and Willowbrook.
Today Corby has one of the larger manufacturing bases in Northamptonshire, including food production, packaging, plastics and engineering, plus a growing logistics sector with easy access to the A14 and A43. The railway station reopened in 2009, giving direct trains to London. North Northamptonshire Council and public services are important employers, and the town has grown significantly with new housing in recent years.
That gives Corby businesses a practical set of software needs. Manufacturers want production planning, shift reporting, maintenance logs and quality records that are easier to use than their ERP screens. Packaging and plastics firms often run complex made-to-order jobs where quoting accurately matters. Logistics businesses need warehouse, carrier and client systems linked together. Smaller businesses want to replace paperwork with simple web apps their staff can use on a phone.

How we work with Corby 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.
