Software for Rotherham businesses
Rotherham was built on coal and steel, and metals still matter here. Steelmaking continues at Aldwarke and Thrybergh, and the Templeborough steelworks, once one of the biggest electric arc furnace plants in the world, now houses the Magna science centre. What has changed is the type of manufacturing around it.
The Advanced Manufacturing Park at Waverley, on the border with Sheffield, is one of the best known industrial research sites in the country. The University of Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) started here in partnership with Boeing, and the park has attracted aerospace, automotive and materials companies, including McLaren Automotive's composites technology centre. Around the park sits a supply chain of machining, fabrication, coating and inspection firms that work to aerospace and automotive quality standards.
That creates very specific software needs. Precision manufacturers have to trace materials and batches, record inspection results against drawings, manage certificates of conformity and report on machine utilisation. Many still do this with spreadsheets and paper travellers. A bespoke production tracking system or a link between shop floor data and the ERP can remove hours of admin a week.
Away from manufacturing, Rotherham's position on the M1 and M18 supports distribution and logistics, with business parks at Manvers in the Dearne Valley and around junction 33. The town centre has a mix of professional services, retail and public sector employers.
For Rotherham businesses we typically build:
- Batch traceability and inspection record systems for machining and fabrication shops
- Shop floor data capture linked to ERP or inventory software
- Supplier portals for certificates, drawings and purchase orders
- Dashboards that show output, scrap and delivery performance in one place

How we work with Rotherham 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 traceability system that meets our customers' quality requirements?
Yes. dijitul builds systems that link materials, batches, operations, inspection results and certificates of conformity, so you can trace any part back to its source. We design around your quality manual and customer requirements, and quote the build as a fixed price after a free chat.
Do you cover the Dearne Valley and the rest of Rotherham borough?
Yes. We work with businesses across Rotherham, Wath, Maltby, Rawmarsh, Swinton and the Dearne Valley, as well as Sheffield, Doncaster and Barnsley. We are based nearby in Mansfield, but delivery is remote, so location does not affect price.
Can you connect our machines or shop floor to our ERP?
Often, yes. Depending on the equipment we can read data from machine controllers, IoT sensors or simple tablet-based operator screens, then send it into your ERP or a reporting dashboard. We assess what your machines can output during discovery before quoting.
