Software for Redditch businesses
Redditch has been a manufacturing town for centuries. It was once the world centre of needle making, and fishing tackle and springs followed, a story told at the Forge Mill Needle Museum. Designated a new town in the 1960s, Redditch grew around planned industrial areas such as Moons Moat, Park Farm and Ravensbank, which today house engineering, automotive, packaging and distribution businesses.
Precision engineering is still central. Mettis Aerospace, which traces its roots back to High Duty Alloys in 1939, forges and machines components in Redditch for aircraft, defence and energy customers. Around it sit smaller machine shops, heat treaters, tooling companies and inspection specialists, many serving the wider Midlands aerospace and automotive supply chains. The town's position near the M42 and M5, with Birmingham a short drive north, also makes it a base for wholesalers and trade suppliers.
The Kingfisher Shopping Centre anchors the town centre, and the Alexandra Hospital is one of the area's larger employers.
Aerospace and automotive customers ask a lot of their suppliers: full traceability from raw material to finished part, first article inspection reports, calibration records and on-time delivery measured to the day. Many smaller Redditch firms still manage all of that with paper travellers and spreadsheets. The software that helps most is a web-based job tracking system that follows each order through operations, records material certificates and inspection results against it, and produces the paperwork automatically. Linked to the accounting system and to customer portals, it can also cut the time spent invoicing and chasing purchase orders. For distributors, we tend to build trade ordering portals and stock integrations so account customers can order around the clock without phoning in.

How we work with Redditch 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
Do you cover Bromsgrove, Studley and Alcester?
Yes. dijitul works remotely with businesses in Bromsgrove, Studley, Alcester, Astwood Bank and across north Worcestershire. We run projects with video calls and a staging site your team can test, and every project has a fixed-price quote after a free chat.
Can you help us meet aerospace traceability requirements?
Yes. We build job tracking systems that link every part to its material certificates, operations, operators, inspection results and calibrated equipment. Records are kept with a full audit trail, and reports such as first article inspection packs can be generated rather than assembled by hand.
Can our customers download certificates from a portal?
Yes. We can build a secure customer portal where each customer sees only their own orders, delivery notes and certificates of conformity, available to download at any time. It saves your quality team answering the same requests by email every week.
