Software for East Midlands businesses
The East Midlands is our home region, so this is the part of the country we know best. It sits at the centre of England's road network, with the M1, A1, A42 and A14 crossing it, and that position has made it one of the UK's busiest areas for warehousing and distribution. The so-called golden triangle of logistics overlaps the region, and East Midlands Airport near Castle Donington is a major express freight hub. The East Midlands Freeport, centred on the airport, is designed to attract more manufacturing and logistics investment.
Manufacturing is the other big story. Derby is known for aerospace and rail engineering, Toyota builds cars at Burnaston, and towns across Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire still carry the legacy of textiles and hosiery, now joined by food production, packaging and precision engineering. Lincolnshire leads on agriculture and food processing, and Northamptonshire has long been a centre for distribution along the A14 and M1.
The region's universities, including Nottingham, Nottingham Trent, Leicester, De Montfort, Loughborough, Derby, Lincoln and Northampton, support science parks and a steady stream of start-ups.
- Warehouse, stock and carrier integrations for distribution businesses near the M1 and A1
- Job tracking, quoting and quality records for manufacturers and engineering firms
- Batch traceability and order systems for food producers
- Ecommerce linked to accounts in Xero, Sage or QuickBooks for retailers and wholesalers
Because we are based in Mansfield, East Midlands clients can meet us in person if that suits them, but most of our work runs remotely through video calls, shared repositories and staging sites. We have been building integrations here since the KashFlow and OpenCart days.

How we work with East Midlands 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 we meet you in person in the East Midlands?
Yes. dijitul is based on St John Street in Mansfield, so face-to-face meetings in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and nearby counties are straightforward when they genuinely help, for example to walk through a warehouse or production process. Most of the project itself runs remotely with video calls and demos.
Do you build software for East Midlands logistics companies?
Yes. Common requests include linking warehouse stock to Shopify or marketplaces, booking couriers automatically, and giving customers a portal to track orders. We scope the work after a free chat and give a fixed-price quote before anything is built.
Which East Midlands counties do you cover?
All of them: Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Rutland, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire. We also work with businesses in South Yorkshire, which borders Mansfield and Worksop, and with clients right across the UK.
