Software for Exeter businesses
Exeter is the regional capital of Devon and one of the fastest-growing cities in the South West. The Met Office, the UK's national weather service, moved its headquarters to Exeter in 2003, and its supercomputing and climate research have helped build a cluster of data science, environmental and climate technology businesses. Exeter Science Park, near the M5 and the airport, hosts many of these firms alongside the Met Office's partners.
The University of Exeter is a leading research university with strengths in climate science, environmental intelligence, medicine and business. Healthcare is a major employer through the Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, and Devon County Council is based in the city. Exeter Airport, the M5, A30 and A38 make the city a distribution hub for the South West, with logistics and trade businesses at Sowton and Marsh Barton. The Princesshay shopping area and cathedral quarter support retail and tourism.
Exeter's mix of data science, public services and regional distribution leads to specific needs:
- Data pipelines, APIs and visualisation dashboards for environmental and weather data
- Patient engagement, booking and clinic management tools for healthcare providers
- Delivery, route and stock systems for regional distributors and wholesalers
- Project, survey and site record tools for environmental consultancies
- Booking and visitor systems for tourism and hospitality across Devon
Science and consultancy teams often have analysis written in Python but no easy way for clients or colleagues to use it. We can wrap that work in a secure Python web application or API, with user accounts, job queues for long calculations and downloadable outputs, without rewriting the science.

How we work with Exeter 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 work with our Exeter team remotely?
Yes. dijitul works remotely from Mansfield. We run discovery and review calls on video, work in your Git repository if you have one and provide a staging environment. Exeter's science and consultancy teams usually find this fits around fieldwork and research schedules.
Do you cover Exmouth, Cranbrook, Newton Abbot and Tiverton?
Yes. We work across Devon, including Exmouth, Cranbrook, Crediton, Newton Abbot, Tiverton, Honiton, Torquay and Plymouth. Every project follows the same free chat, scoping stage and fixed-price quote, wherever you are.
Can you turn our Python models into a web app?
Yes. We can build a web front end and API around your existing Python code, using frameworks such as Django or FastAPI, with background job queues for long-running calculations, user permissions and results your clients can download.
