# Software Development in Doncaster

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

> dijitul developments builds bespoke software, web applications and integrations for Doncaster businesses, especially logistics, rail engineering and manufacturing firms. We are based in Mansfield, under an hour away, and work remotely with clients. Every project starts with a free chat and gets a fixed-price quote before any work begins.

Doncaster became a city in 2022, but its economy has been built on transport for much longer. It sits where the A1(M), M18 and East Coast Main Line meet, and that location has turned the area into one of the busiest logistics hubs in the north of England. Large distribution centres line the motorway junctions, and the iPort rail freight terminal near Rossington links road and rail for national retailers and third party logistics firms.

Rail is part of Doncaster's identity. The town grew around the Great Northern Railway's Doncaster Works, where locomotives such as Mallard and Flying Scotsman were built, and rail maintenance, rolling stock and engineering firms still operate here. Manufacturing, food processing and construction supply businesses fill the industrial estates around the town.

Alongside the big operators there are hundreds of smaller hauliers, warehousing businesses, contractors and suppliers. Many of them run on a mix of a transport management package, a spreadsheet and an accounts system that do not talk to each other. That is where most of our Doncaster work comes from: integrations and focused web applications that stop the retyping.

Education and training are well represented, with DN Colleges Group and University Centre Doncaster providing technical and vocational courses, and the town is a strong base for apprenticeship training in engineering and logistics.

For Doncaster clients we usually build:

- Delivery, collection and proof-of-delivery apps for hauliers
- Warehouse, stock and order integrations with retailers' systems
- Job sheets and maintenance tracking for rail and engineering contractors
- Customer portals that let clients see orders, invoices and tracking

Because we are close by in Mansfield, Doncaster clients get a developer that knows the region and its industries.

### Can you build a proof-of-delivery app for our drivers?

Yes. dijitul builds driver apps that capture signatures, photos, timestamps and GPS location, work offline when signal drops, and sync back to your office system. We can push delivery status to your customers by email or API. The build is quoted as a fixed price after a free chat.

### Do you cover Rotherham, Barnsley and the rest of South Yorkshire?

Yes. We work with businesses across South Yorkshire, including Doncaster, Rotherham, Barnsley and Sheffield, plus nearby towns such as Thorne, Bawtry, Mexborough and Askern. Mansfield is close, but delivery is remote, so your location does not change the price.

### Can you integrate our transport system with our customers' systems?

Often, yes. Many retailers and manufacturers provide APIs, EDI feeds or portal exports for their suppliers. We build the link that pulls their orders into your transport or warehouse system and sends status updates and invoices back automatically, with logs so you can see every message.
