Software for Wakefield businesses
Wakefield sits where the M1 and M62 cross, and few places in the north have better road links. That has made the district a major logistics location, with large warehouses at Normanton, around junctions 39 to 41 of the M1 and at the Wakefield Europort, a rail-connected distribution park near the M62. National retailers, parcel carriers and third party logistics firms operate here, alongside a long chain of smaller hauliers and service companies.
Food and drink manufacturing is the other big employer. Coca-Cola has a large bottling plant at Outwood, and bakeries, dairies and food processors operate across the Five Towns of Pontefract, Castleford, Featherstone, Knottingley and Normanton. Pontefract is famous for liquorice, and the "Rhubarb Triangle" between Wakefield, Morley and Rothwell is known for forced rhubarb. Food businesses need traceability, allergen data, production planning and strong integrations with retailer ordering systems.
Wakefield has long been an administrative centre for West Yorkshire, and public bodies and their suppliers are a steady part of the local economy. The city centre has seen investment around Trinity Walk and the Hepworth Wakefield gallery, and Wakefield College, with University Centre Wakefield, supports technical training.
For Wakefield businesses, software projects tend to be practical. A distribution firm needs its warehouse system to talk to its customers' systems. A food producer needs one place for recipes, batches and labels. A supplier to councils needs a portal that handles orders, reporting and audits.

How we work with Wakefield 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 for our food production?
Yes. dijitul builds systems that track ingredients, batches, allergens, production runs and labels, so you can trace any product back to its suppliers quickly if there is a recall or an audit. We can integrate with your accounts and retailer ordering, and quote it as a fixed price.
Do you cover Pontefract, Castleford and the Five Towns?
Yes. We work with businesses across the Wakefield district, including Pontefract, Castleford, Normanton, Featherstone, Knottingley, Ossett and Horbury, as well as Leeds and the rest of West Yorkshire. We deliver remotely from Mansfield.
Can your software handle the reporting public sector clients ask for?
Yes. We build reporting tools that pull data from your operational systems and produce the monthly or quarterly returns public sector contracts usually require, with user permissions and audit logs. We agree the report formats during discovery so the fixed-price quote covers them.
