Software for Newcastle upon Tyne businesses
Newcastle upon Tyne is the commercial capital of the North East and has one of the UK's most active tech sectors outside London. Sage, the accounting software company, was founded in the city and still has its global headquarters here, and it has helped create a large pool of software developers and finance technology specialists. Games studios, including Ubisoft Reflections, and a long list of digital agencies and SaaS start-ups add to the scene.
Financial services and retail have strong roots. Virgin Money, which grew out of the former Northern Rock, has long had a major base at Gosforth, and Greggs, the bakery chain, has its headquarters in Newcastle. Professional services firms fill the offices around the Quayside, Grey Street and the city centre.
Newcastle Helix, on the site of the old Scottish and Newcastle brewery, is the city's science and innovation quarter. It houses the National Innovation Centre for Data, the National Innovation Centre for Ageing and a growing number of companies working with Newcastle University and Northumbria University, both large research universities. The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals trust is one of the biggest in the NHS, making health and life sciences a major sector.
For Newcastle clients we typically build:
- Sage integrations that connect operational systems to accounts
- SaaS platforms and back-office tools for start-ups
- Data and reporting platforms for health and research projects
- Ecommerce, EPOS and stock integrations for retailers
Because the city has a deep pool of in-house developers, we are often asked to deliver a defined piece of work alongside an existing team, such as an integration or a rescue of a stalled project, rather than a whole product.

How we work with Newcastle upon Tyne 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 integrate our systems with Sage?
Yes. dijitul builds integrations with Sage Business Cloud Accounting through its API, and with desktop Sage products where a suitable connector exists, to post invoices, customers, payments and stock data automatically. We scope the data flows first and quote the work as a fixed price.
Do you cover Gateshead, North Tyneside and Northumberland?
Yes. We work with businesses across Tyneside and the wider North East, including Gateshead, North Tyneside, South Tyneside, Sunderland and Northumberland. All delivery is remote from our office in Mansfield, so there are no travel costs.
Can you rescue a software project another developer left unfinished?
Often, yes. We start with a code audit to see what state the project is in, what can be kept and what needs rework. You get a written report and, if it makes sense to continue, a fixed-price quote to finish the work.
