Software for Medway businesses
Medway is a group of towns along the River Medway in north Kent: Chatham, Rochester, Gillingham, Strood and Rainham, plus the rural Hoo Peninsula. Its history is bound up with the Royal Navy, and the Historic Dockyard Chatham is now a major visitor attraction and filming location. Rochester, with its castle and cathedral, has a busy tourism and independent retail trade along its historic High Street.
Education has become a large part of the local economy. The Universities at Medway campus at Chatham Maritime is shared by the University of Kent, the University of Greenwich and Canterbury Christ Church University, with strengths in engineering, pharmacy, business and computing. Medway Maritime Hospital in Gillingham is a major employer. Innovation Park Medway, next to Rochester Airport, is being developed for high-tech engineering and manufacturing businesses, and BAE Systems has long operated in Rochester. The Hoo Peninsula and Medway riverside hold port, energy and industrial sites.
Software needs across Medway are wide ranging:
- Quality, inspection and job tracking systems for engineering and manufacturing firms
- Work orders, permits and compliance records for energy and industrial contractors
- Rostering, care records and family portals for care providers
- Online shops and stock integrations for independent retailers in Rochester and Chatham
- MVPs and web apps for start-ups and graduates from the Medway campus
Engineering firms supplying defence, aerospace or energy customers need to evidence every stage of a job, from material certificates to final inspection. We build systems that link those records to each job and part, with sign-off and audit history, and integrate them with your Sage or other accounts package so invoicing follows completion automatically.

How we work with Medway 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.
