Software for Scunthorpe businesses
Scunthorpe is the UK's best known steel town. The integrated steelworks, now run by British Steel, has made steel here for well over a century, and it supplies rail, construction and engineering customers around the country. Around the works sits a supply chain of engineering contractors, maintenance specialists, fabricators, hauliers and industrial services firms whose fortunes are closely tied to it.
The wider North Lincolnshire economy is more varied than its steel reputation suggests. The M180 links the town to the Humber ports at Immingham and Grimsby, and to the M18 and M62, so distribution and warehousing have grown on estates such as Normanby Enterprise Park and around junctions near Barton and Brigg. Food manufacturing, chemicals, renewables and agriculture all play a part.
Industrial firms here have particular software needs. Contractors on large sites must manage permits, inductions, competency records and timesheets. Fabricators need to track drawings, materials, welding procedures and inspections. Hauliers moving heavy or bulk loads need booking, routing and compliance records.
Many of these businesses run on a mix of a legacy package, spreadsheets and paper, often because nothing off the shelf fitted. A focused bespoke system or an integration between existing tools is often the most practical improvement. North Lindsey College, with its university centre, provides engineering and technical training locally.
For Scunthorpe clients we usually build:
- Contractor management, timesheet and competency systems
- Job tracking and inspection records for fabrication shops
- Haulage booking and proof-of-delivery apps
- Dashboards that combine data from several systems

How we work with Scunthorpe 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 contractor and timesheet system for site work?
Yes. dijitul builds systems that record inductions, competencies, permits and timesheets for contractors working on large industrial sites, with approvals and reports for clients. Staff can use them on a phone or tablet. We quote each build as a fixed price after a free chat.
Do you cover Brigg, Barton-upon-Humber and the Isle of Axholme?
Yes. We work with businesses across North Lincolnshire, including Brigg, Barton-upon-Humber, Epworth and the Isle of Axholme, plus Grimsby, Hull and Doncaster. All work is delivered remotely from our Mansfield office.
Can you pull data from our old system into a new one?
Yes. We regularly migrate data from older databases, packages and spreadsheets. We map every field, clean duplicates, test the migration on a copy first and keep a full record, so nothing is lost when the new system goes live.
