# Software Development in St Helens

Source: https://dijituldevelopments.co.uk/locations/st-helens/

> dijitul developments builds bespoke software, web applications and integrations for St Helens businesses, including glass and materials manufacturers, logistics operators at Haydock and Parkside, and local service firms. We work remotely from our Mansfield office, and every project starts with a free chat and is priced as a fixed-price quote for an agreed scope.

St Helens is the home of the British glass industry. Pilkington, now part of Japan's NSG Group, was founded in the town in the nineteenth century and invented the float glass process in the 1950s, which became the standard method for making flat glass around the world. Pilkington still has major operations and its UK base in St Helens, and the World of Glass museum tells the story.

Glass remains important. Glass Futures, a not-for-profit research organisation, has been developing a glass research and manufacturing centre in the town to help the industry cut carbon emissions. Around it is a supply chain of engineering, materials and processing firms.

The town sits between Liverpool and Manchester, with the M62 to the south and the M6 to the east, which has made it a strong logistics location. Haydock has a large concentration of distribution centres beside junction 23 of the M6, and the former Parkside colliery site near Newton-le-Willows is being developed for logistics and employment use. St Helens is also famous for rugby league and its Saints.

St Helens College provides technical training, and the town centre has been the focus of regeneration plans.

Manufacturers and logistics firms here usually need systems that stitch operations together. We are typically asked for:

- Production, quality and batch records for materials manufacturers
- Warehouse, carrier and customer order systems integration
- Maintenance and asset tracking for plant and machinery
- Job scheduling and invoicing for local service firms

We keep integrations observable, with logs and alerts, so your team can see exactly what has synced and what needs attention.

### Can you build maintenance and asset tracking for our plant?

Yes. dijitul builds systems that record assets, planned maintenance schedules, breakdowns, spares and engineer job sheets, with mobile access on the shop floor. Reports show downtime and costs by machine. We quote the build as a fixed price after a free chat.

### Do you cover Haydock, Newton-le-Willows and Rainford?

Yes. We work with businesses across St Helens borough, including Haydock, Newton-le-Willows, Rainford, Rainhill and Earlestown, plus Wigan, Warrington and Liverpool. All delivery is remote from our office in Mansfield.

### Can you integrate our warehouse with our customers' order systems?

Yes. We connect warehouse systems to customer platforms using APIs, EDI or file exchange, so orders arrive automatically and dispatch confirmations and invoices go back. We build in retries and logs so peak periods do not cause lost or duplicate orders.
