Software for Derry~Londonderry businesses
Derry~Londonderry is Northern Ireland's second city and the centre of the North West city region, which reaches across the border into County Donegal. Its walls, completed in the seventeenth century, are among the best preserved in Europe, and the city was the UK City of Culture in 2013.
The cross-border position shapes the economy. Many businesses have customers, staff and suppliers on both sides of the border, which means dealing with sterling and euro, different VAT rules and two tax systems. Software here often needs to handle multiple currencies, multiple tax treatments and reporting for both jurisdictions.
Advanced manufacturing is a strength. Seagate Technology has a large plant at Springtown making components for data storage, and the city has a base of engineering and life sciences manufacturers. These firms need production data capture, traceability and quality systems integrated with ERP.
Technology and services have grown too, with software development, financial services and contact centre operations employing many people. Ulster University's Magee campus is expanding, and its School of Medicine opened in 2021, adding healthcare training and research. North West Regional College provides technical training, and Altnagelvin Hospital is a major employer.
Regeneration sites such as Ebrington, the former army barracks across the Peace Bridge, and Fort George are being redeveloped for business and leisure use. Foyle Port and City of Derry Airport support logistics and travel, while tourism around the walls, the Causeway Coast and Donegal brings visitors to the area.
Projects we would expect to quote for here include:
- Multi-currency ordering and invoicing for cross-border businesses
- Production and quality data systems for manufacturers

How we work with Derry~Londonderry 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
Can you build software that handles sterling, euro and two VAT systems?
Yes. dijitul builds systems that store prices and transactions in both currencies, apply the right VAT treatment per customer and jurisdiction, and produce reports for each side of the border. We agree the rules with your accountant during scoping and test them carefully.
Do you cover Strabane, Limavady, Coleraine and Donegal?
Yes. We work remotely, so businesses in Strabane, Limavady, Coleraine, Letterkenny and across the North West and Donegal get the same process: a free chat, a scoping stage and a fixed-price quote.
Can you connect our system to Xero or Sage for both companies?
Yes. If you run separate UK and Irish entities, we can integrate each with its own Xero or Sage organisation, routing invoices and payments to the correct company and currency. Logging shows exactly what synced and where.
