Software for Newry businesses
Newry became a city in 2002 and sits on the main Belfast to Dublin corridor, a few miles from the border with the Republic of Ireland. That position has made it a natural trading centre. Shoppers from both jurisdictions use its retail centres, and many local businesses buy, sell and employ people on both sides of the border, working in sterling and euro.
Newry has some notable home-grown businesses. Norbrook, a veterinary pharmaceutical manufacturer, is headquartered in the city, and FD Technologies, the data and analytics software group formerly known as First Derivatives, was founded and is headquartered in Newry. That combination gives the city regulated manufacturing and high-end software skills that are unusual for its size.
Logistics and haulage are important. Northern Ireland has a strong road haulage sector, and the A1 and M1 corridor carries freight between Belfast, Dublin and the ports. Haulage and distribution firms need transport management, driver and vehicle compliance records, and customer portals with live tracking. Cross-border trade adds currency, VAT and documentation requirements.
Food production, construction and building materials are also significant in the surrounding Newry, Mourne and Down area, while tourism around the Mourne Mountains and Carlingford Lough supports hospitality businesses. Southern Regional College has a campus in Newry, and Daisy Hill Hospital is a major employer.

- Batch, document and quality systems for pharmaceutical manufacturers
- Transport management and compliance tools for hauliers

How we work with Newry 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.
