Software for Middlesbrough businesses
Middlesbrough grew from a hamlet into an industrial town in the nineteenth century on the back of iron and steel, and its engineers famously built bridges around the world. Steelmaking on Teesside ended with the closure of the Redcar works in 2015, but heavy industry remains central to the area. The chemical and process plants at Wilton International and Billingham form one of the largest integrated chemical complexes in the UK, served by a wide network of engineering, maintenance and inspection contractors.
The former steelworks site at Redcar is now being redeveloped as Teesworks, part of the Teesside Freeport, with a focus on offshore wind manufacturing, hydrogen and carbon capture. Energy and industrial decarbonisation projects are bringing new contractors and suppliers to the area.
Middlesbrough also has a lively digital sector. The Boho Zone, near the railway station, is home to digital, games and creative companies, and Teesside University, known for computing, games, engineering and health courses, provides graduates and research links. Middlesbrough College offers technical training, and James Cook University Hospital is a major regional hospital.
Industrial contractors on Teesside need software that handles permits to work, inspections, competencies, timesheets and client reporting across several sites. Digital and creative firms need back ends, APIs and integrations for client projects.
- Permit, inspection and competency systems for site contractors
- Timesheet and job costing tools linked to accounts
- Asset and maintenance records for process plant
- Back-end and API development for digital studios
Industrial users need tools that work on tablets on site and stand up to audits, so we build with audit trails and offline use in mind.

How we work with Middlesbrough 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 build a permit and inspection system for site contractors?
Yes. dijitul builds systems for permits to work, inspections, defects, competencies and timesheets that run on tablets on site and sync to the office. Clients can see reports and certificates through a portal. We scope your process first and quote the build as a fixed price after a free chat.
Do you cover Stockton, Redcar and the rest of Teesside?
Yes. We work with businesses across the Tees Valley, including Stockton-on-Tees, Redcar, Hartlepool, Darlington and Guisborough. All delivery is remote from our office in Mansfield, so where you are based makes no difference to cost.
Can you work with a digital studio in the Boho Zone?
Yes. We act as a development partner for studios and agencies, building back ends, APIs, admin systems and integrations behind your front-end and design work. We agree scope and handover in writing and give a fixed-price quote for our part.
