# Software Development in Edinburgh

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

> dijitul develops bespoke software, web apps and integrations for Edinburgh businesses, including investment and insurance teams, technology start-ups, public sector suppliers and tourism operators. We work remotely from our base in Mansfield and show progress through regular online demos. Every project starts with a free chat and is priced as a fixed-price quote.

Edinburgh is Scotland's capital and one of the UK's leading financial centres outside London. Asset management and insurance have a long history here: Baillie Gifford, abrdn and Standard Life are based in the city, NatWest Group has its headquarters at Gogarburn on the western edge, and the Bank of Scotland's head office still sits on The Mound. Edinburgh Park and the Exchange district carry a dense mix of finance, legal and professional services offices.

Firms in that world need software that handles sensitive data properly: role-based access, audit trails, single sign-on with Microsoft 365, and reporting that finance and compliance teams trust. Many also run older internal systems that need modern interfaces or careful migration rather than wholesale replacement.

Edinburgh has a strong technology scene. Skyscanner was founded here, and the city has produced a string of software and data businesses. The University of Edinburgh's School of Informatics is one of Europe's largest computing departments, and Heriot-Watt, Edinburgh Napier and Queen Margaret universities add further technical talent. Start-ups and scale-ups often need an [MVP](https://dijituldevelopments.co.uk/mvp-development/) built quickly to test an idea, or extra development capacity on an existing product.

As the seat of the Scottish Parliament and Scottish Government, the city also supports a large public sector supplier base. Tourism is huge: the August festivals, including the Fringe, bring a surge of visitors, and hotels, venues and tour operators need booking and ticketing systems that survive that peak. Leith and the waterfront add hospitality, creative and port businesses.

Edinburgh projects we would expect to quote for include:

- Client and adviser portals with SSO and audit logging
- MVPs and SaaS products for start-ups
- Ticketing and venue management for festival operators
- Data migration from ageing internal systems

### Can you build an MVP for our Edinburgh start-up?

Yes. dijitul helps founders define the smallest product that proves the idea, then builds it in a stack you can grow with, such as Laravel or Node.js with React. You own the code from day one. We scope it during a free chat and quote a fixed price.

### Do you cover Leith, Livingston, Musselburgh and the Lothians?

Yes. We work remotely, so businesses in Leith, Livingston, Musselburgh, Dalkeith and across the Lothians and Fife get the same service: a free chat, a scoping stage and a fixed-price quote before work starts.

### Can you build software that works with Microsoft 365 sign-in?

Yes. We use Microsoft Entra ID with OpenID Connect so staff sign in with their existing work accounts, and we can read or write calendars, files and Teams messages through Microsoft Graph where the project needs it.

### Can your booking system cope with festival demand?

We design for it. That means caching busy pages, holding seats safely while payment completes, processing Stripe webhooks idempotently so nothing is double booked, and load testing before August. dijitul agrees performance targets with you during scoping.
