# Software Development in Dundee

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

> dijitul develops bespoke software, web apps and integrations for Dundee businesses, from games and digital studios to life sciences firms, manufacturers and publishers on the Tay. We work remotely from our base in Mansfield using video calls and shared boards. Each project starts with a free chat and receives a fixed-price quote before development begins.

Dundee has a reputation well beyond its size for video games. Lemmings and the original Grand Theft Auto came out of Dundee studio DMA Design, and Abertay University launched the world's first computer games degree in 1997. The city still has a cluster of games studios, and those creative and technical skills now flow into wider digital businesses too.

Life sciences is the other major strength. The University of Dundee's School of Life Sciences and its Drug Discovery Unit have an international reputation, and spinout and supply businesses have grown around them. Firms here handle sample data, lab results and research collaborations, which need careful permissions, audit logging and reliable data import from instruments.

Dundee's industrial history is famous for jute, jam and journalism. DC Thomson, publisher of The Beano and The Sunday Post, remains a major employer and a reminder that publishing and media run deep. Manufacturing continues too: when Michelin closed its Dundee tyre factory in 2020, the site was turned into the Michelin Scotland Innovation Parc, focused on sustainable mobility and low carbon energy.

The regenerated waterfront, anchored by V&A Dundee, has brought tourism, hospitality and new office space. Ninewells Hospital is a large employer and a teaching hospital linked to the university's medical school.

For Dundee businesses, we would expect projects such as:

- Admin portals, back-end services and dashboards for digital studios
- Lab data capture and sample tracking for life sciences firms
- Subscription, content and fulfilment integrations for publishers
- [Reporting dashboards](https://dijituldevelopments.co.uk/dashboard-reporting-development/) for manufacturers and energy projects

### Can you build back-end systems for a games or digital studio?

Yes. dijitul builds the web side that studios often need: admin portals, player or customer account services, licence management, payment integrations with Stripe and reporting dashboards. We work alongside your own developers and agree clear API contracts so each side can work independently.

### Do you cover Broughty Ferry, Arbroath, Perth and north Fife?

Yes. We work remotely, so businesses in Broughty Ferry, Arbroath, Forfar, Perth, St Andrews and north Fife get the same process: a free chat, a scoping stage and a fixed-price quote.

### Can you import data from our lab instruments?

Often, yes. Many instruments export CSV or XML files or write to a database. We can build an importer that validates each file, links results to samples and stores them with a full audit trail, then presents them through a secure web interface.
