# Software Development in Peterborough

Source: https://dijituldevelopments.co.uk/locations/peterborough/

> dijitul builds bespoke software, web applications and integrations for Peterborough businesses, including logistics and distribution firms on the A1, engineering manufacturers and service companies. We work remotely from Mansfield, about ninety minutes up the road, and every project receives a fixed-price quote after a free chat and a scoping stage.

Peterborough grew rapidly after being designated a new town in 1967, and it has kept growing ever since. Its position on the A1 and the East Coast Main Line, under an hour by train from London King's Cross, has made it a major distribution hub. Large warehouses for national retailers and online sellers line the city's edges, and logistics is one of its biggest employers.

Engineering is a long-standing strength. Perkins Engines, part of Caterpillar, has designed and built diesel engines in Peterborough since 1932, and Baker Perkins, which makes food and printing machinery, also has deep roots here. Those firms support a network of machining, fabrication and engineering service companies. Peterborough is also an important centre for magazine and media publishing, and has a growing environmental and clean technology sector.

Higher education arrived properly in 2022 with the opening of ARU Peterborough, a university campus focused on courses linked to local employers, alongside Peterborough College. Peterborough City Hospital and the city council are major employers, and the Queensgate shopping centre anchors the city centre.

Software projects that suit Peterborough firms include:

- Warehouse, transport and returns systems that connect WMS, carriers and retailer platforms
- Field service and aftermarket portals for engineering manufacturers, tracking serial numbers, warranties and parts
- Subscription, content and audience tools for publishers, integrated with payments
- Data and reporting tools for environmental and energy businesses
- Workflow automation that cuts manual admin in growing service companies

Many of these involve connecting several existing platforms, so a lot of our work here is API integration done carefully: OAuth tokens refreshed reliably, rate limits respected and every failed call logged and retried.

### Do you cover Stamford, Huntingdon and Wisbech?

Yes. dijitul works remotely with businesses across the Peterborough area, including Stamford, Huntingdon, Wisbech, Oundle, Whittlesey and March. You get the same process wherever you are: a free chat, then scoping, then a fixed-price quote.

### Can you build a warranty and parts portal for our products?

Yes. We build portals where dealers or end customers register products by serial number, check warranty status, look up the right parts and raise service requests. The data links back to your ERP or stock system, so aftersales teams see the full history of each unit.

### Can you connect our subscriptions to Stripe?

Yes. We build subscription billing using Stripe Billing and webhooks, handling sign-ups, renewals, upgrades, failed payments and cancellations, and syncing subscribers to your content or CRM platform. Finance gets clean reporting, and customers can manage their own plans.
