# Software Development in Long Eaton

> dijitul developments builds bespoke software, web applications and integrations for Long Eaton businesses, including upholstery and furniture makers, distributors, engineering firms and retailers. We work remotely from our base in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, with in-person meetings when helpful. Every project starts with a free chat, then a fixed-price quote for a clearly defined scope.

Long Eaton, in the south of Erewash close to where Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire meet, has a distinctive industrial identity. In the nineteenth century it was a lace-making town, and many of the large brick lace mills still stand. As lace declined, upholstery and furniture making took over, and Long Eaton became one of the best-known centres for upholstered furniture in the UK, with many manufacturers, frame makers, cutting rooms and suppliers based in and around the town.

The town's location is another advantage. The M1 at junction 25 is next door, East Midlands Airport is a short drive south, and both Nottingham and Derby are close. That has made Long Eaton and nearby Toton attractive for distribution, trade and engineering businesses.

Furniture manufacturing brings some specific software challenges. Products are often made to order in many combinations of frame, fabric, finish and size. Orders arrive from retailers, trade buyers and direct consumers. Fabric stock and cutting have to be planned carefully, and customers expect accurate delivery dates.

- Product configurators that show valid combinations and calculate prices
- Order management for retailer, trade and direct sales channels
- Production scheduling and fabric stock tracking
- Customer and retailer portals for order status and delivery booking
- Integrations with Xero, Sage, Shopify or WooCommerce

Distribution and engineering firms in the town have the familiar needs of stock, courier and accounts integrations, and local retailers want their shop and website to work together.

dijitul has no Long Eaton office. We work remotely from Mansfield, under an hour away, visiting when it helps, and every project is quoted at a fixed price.

### Can you build a product configurator for made-to-order furniture?

Yes. dijitul builds configurators that only allow valid combinations of frame, fabric, size and finish, calculate the price from your rules, and pass a clear specification through to production. They can sit on your website or in a trade portal for retailers.

### Can you link our production and sales systems?

Usually, yes. We connect order sources such as your website, retailer orders and trade portals to production scheduling and accounts, using APIs, file imports or direct database links depending on the systems involved. Each integration is scoped and quoted at a fixed price.

### Do you cover Sawley, Breaston and Toton?

Yes. We work with businesses across Long Eaton and the surrounding area, including Sawley, Breaston, Draycott, Sandiacre, Toton, Stapleford and Castle Donington. Every project starts with a free chat, followed by a fixed-price quote for the agreed scope.
