# Software Development in Wigan

Source: https://dijituldevelopments.co.uk/locations/wigan/

> dijitul developments builds bespoke software, web apps and integrations for Wigan businesses, including food manufacturers, distribution firms on the M6 and M58, and growing service companies. We work remotely from Mansfield in Nottinghamshire, and every project starts with a free chat about what you need, followed by a fixed-price quote you can plan around.

Wigan's industrial past was built on coal and cotton, and its canal and pier made it a byword for the industrial north. Today the borough is best known in business terms for food manufacturing and logistics.

Heinz runs a very large food factory at Kitt Green, producing baked beans, soups and other products for the UK and Europe, and other food and drink manufacturers operate in the borough. Food factories run on tight schedules, strict hygiene and allergen rules, and detailed retailer specifications, which makes production planning, traceability and quality data important everyday systems.

Logistics has grown on the back of the M6, with junctions 25 to 27 serving the borough and the M58 linking it to Liverpool. Large distribution centres sit around Martland Park and the Logistics North area on the Bolton border, and many smaller hauliers and warehousing firms work alongside them.

Wigan also has a broad base of smaller manufacturers, trades and service firms across Leigh, Ashton-in-Makerfield and Standish. Wigan and Leigh College provides technical training, and the town has strong links with Edge Hill University nearby.

The work we are asked to do for Wigan firms is usually about cutting admin. A food producer wants its specifications and labels managed in one place. A haulier wants drivers' paperwork digital. A service company wants jobs, quotes and invoices linked to Xero.

### Can you manage product specifications and allergen data for a food business?

Yes. dijitul builds systems that hold recipes, ingredients, allergen and nutritional data, supplier approvals and label artwork in one place, with version history for audits. Changes to an ingredient can flag every product affected. We quote the build as a fixed price after a free chat.

### Do you cover Leigh, Ashton and Skelmersdale?

Yes. We work with businesses across Wigan borough, including Leigh, Ashton-in-Makerfield, Standish, Hindley and Atherton, plus Skelmersdale, St Helens and Bolton. Delivery is remote from Mansfield, so there is no travel cost.

### Can you connect our job system to Xero?

Yes. We use the Xero API to create invoices, contacts and payments from your job or booking system automatically, and to pull back payment status. That removes double entry and makes it easy to see which jobs have been paid.
