# Software Development in Hull

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

> dijitul developments builds bespoke software, web applications and integrations for businesses in Hull and the Humber, including port, logistics, renewable energy and manufacturing firms. We work remotely from our office in Mansfield, and every project begins with a free chat and ends up as a clear fixed-price quote for a defined scope.

Hull sits on the north bank of the Humber, and the estuary defines its economy. The Port of Hull, run by Associated British Ports, handles freight and passenger ferries to Rotterdam, and a large logistics, freight forwarding and warehousing sector has grown around it. Those businesses deal with customs paperwork, container tracking and haulage bookings every day, which makes them heavy users of integrations and workflow software.

Renewable energy is the newer story. Siemens Gamesa makes offshore wind turbine blades at its Alexandra Dock factory, and the Humber has become one of the UK's main bases for the offshore wind industry. Engineering contractors, maintenance firms and suppliers serving the wind farms need tools for job scheduling, asset records, certification tracking and health and safety reporting.

Hull also has a strong manufacturing and health products base. Reckitt, the company behind brands such as Dettol and Strepsils, has a large site in the city, and Smith and Nephew has its roots here. Chemicals, food processing and caravan manufacturing operate across the Hull and East Riding area, with business parks such as Melton Park and Bridgehead at Hessle along the A63.

The University of Hull, and the Hull York Medical School it shares with the University of York, give the city a research base in health, energy and logistics. Hull's year as UK City of Culture in 2017 also helped its creative and digital sector.

For Hull businesses, typical projects include:

- Job and asset management apps for offshore and engineering contractors
- Freight, shipment and haulage tracking portals
- Integrations between warehouse systems, couriers and accounting software
- Compliance and certification tracking for safety-critical work

### Can you build software for offshore wind and engineering contractors?

Yes. dijitul builds field service and asset management apps that track jobs, technicians, certificates, inspections and safety documents, and work on tablets and phones. We can link them to your accounts package and Microsoft 365, and we quote the work as a fixed price after a free chat.

### Do you cover the East Riding and the south bank of the Humber?

Yes. We work with businesses in Hull, Beverley, Hessle, Cottingham, Goole and Bridlington, and over the bridge in Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Immingham. We deliver remotely from Mansfield, so where you are based does not change the cost or the process.

### Can you connect our warehouse and shipping systems to our accounts?

Usually, yes. We connect warehouse management systems, courier APIs and ecommerce platforms to Xero, Sage or QuickBooks so orders, dispatches and invoices flow without retyping. We use queues and retries, so a temporary outage on one system does not lose data.
