# Software Development in Derby

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

> dijitul developments builds bespoke software, web applications and integrations for Derby businesses, especially manufacturers, engineering suppliers and the service firms around them. We work remotely from Mansfield, about 30 miles away, with in-person workshops when they help. Each project begins with a free chat and is priced as a fixed-price quote before work starts.

Derby is one of the UK's great engineering cities. Rolls-Royce has its civil aerospace and nuclear operations here, Alstom builds trains at the Litchurch Lane works, and Toyota's car plant is just outside the city at Burnaston. Around those big names sits a large supply chain of precision engineering, machining, fabrication and test businesses, many of them on industrial estates and business parks across the city and South Derbyshire, including Infinity Park and Pride Park.

The University of Derby works closely with local industry, and the city also has a growing digital sector and a significant number of finance, insurance and professional services firms, several based around Pride Park.

Engineering supply chains place particular demands on software. Customers at the top of the chain expect full traceability, so a supplier needs to know which material batch, which machine and which operator produced each part. Quality paperwork, inspection results and certificates of conformity need to be produced quickly and stored safely. Many suppliers run a mature ERP for accounts and stock, but use spreadsheets for everything else: shop floor data, non-conformance reports, tooling records and capacity planning.

That is where a bespoke web app connected to the ERP pays off. Typical Derby projects might include:

- Shop floor data capture on tablets, linked to works orders in the ERP
- Traceability records and automatic certificate generation as PDFs
- Supplier and customer portals with role-based access and audit logs
- Dashboards showing on-time delivery, scrap and machine utilisation

Rail and aerospace work also tends to come with strict information security expectations, so we design access control and hosting carefully.

dijitul has no Derby office. We work from Mansfield, close enough for a site visit, and run projects remotely with fixed-price quotes.

### Can you build software that links to our manufacturing ERP?

Usually, yes. dijitul builds web apps that read and write works orders, stock and part data through an ERP's API, database views or import files, depending on what the ERP supports. We check the options during scoping and give a fixed-price quote.

### Can you work with our Derby team remotely?

Yes. Most of our work runs remotely from Mansfield with video calls, a shared project board and a staging site. Derby is under an hour away, so a site visit to see your shop floor or process is easy to arrange when it helps.

### Do you cover Belper, Ripley and South Derbyshire?

Yes. We work with businesses across Derby and Derbyshire, including Belper, Ripley, Alfreton, Ilkeston, Long Eaton, Swadlincote and Burton upon Trent just over the border. Every project is quoted at a fixed price after a free chat.
