> dijitul builds bespoke software, web applications and integrations for Hackney businesses, from Shoreditch technology companies and creative studios to independent food, drink and retail brands. We work remotely from our Mansfield base, and every project receives a fixed-price quote after a free chat and a scoping stage, with the code yours at the end.

The London Borough of Hackney has changed dramatically over the past twenty years, and its economy now leans heavily on technology, creative industries and independent business. South Shoreditch, inside the borough, sits at the heart of East London's tech scene, and its streets are packed with software companies, digital agencies, fintechs, games and media studios, and co-working spaces. Old Street, on the border with Islington, gave the area its Silicon Roundabout nickname.

Hackney Wick and Fish Island, beside the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, became known for their many artists' studios, and the area now mixes studios with craft breweries, workshops, makers and event spaces. Dalston is known for its music, nightlife and food scene, and Broadway Market, London Fields and Stoke Newington's Church Street have strong clusters of independent shops, cafes and restaurants.

Hackney is also home to many social enterprises, community organisations and charities, and to Homerton University Hospital. A large share of its businesses are small, often founder-led, and many sell online as well as through a shop or market stall.

Software projects that suit Hackney businesses include:

- Product builds, MVPs and back-end development for tech start-ups
- Direct-to-consumer ecommerce for food, drink, fashion and homeware brands, integrated with Shopify, stock and fulfilment
- Taproom, event and ticketing systems for breweries, venues and makers
- Booking and membership platforms for studios, gyms and workshops
- Impact reporting, volunteer and grant management tools for charities and social enterprises

For small brands, the biggest win is often an integration: orders, stock and accounting joined up, so the founder stops spending evenings on admin.

### Can you connect our Shopify store to our warehouse and accounts?

Yes. We use the Shopify Admin GraphQL API and webhooks to send orders to your fulfilment partner or warehouse, keep stock levels in step and post sales and fees into Xero or QuickBooks. That removes the manual copying many small brands do every evening.

### Do you cover Shoreditch, Dalston and Stoke Newington?

Yes. dijitul works remotely with businesses across Hackney, including Shoreditch, Dalston, Stoke Newington, Hackney Wick, Clapton and Homerton. Every project runs over video calls with a staging site, and gets a fixed-price quote after a free chat.

### Do you work with social enterprises on tight budgets?

Yes. We scope carefully to find the smallest piece of software that makes the biggest difference, and can phase work so it matches funding. The fixed-price quote means there are no surprise bills, and you own the code and data at the end.
