Custom software development for UK businesses.
I’m Matthew Hutchings. I design and build bespoke business software, internal tools, custom CRMs and AI features around how your team works. Work with me directly, from the first useful stage to handover.
Discuss a build ↗How I help
From workflow to working system.
Bring a defined brief or a messy operational problem. I can help shape the scope, build the solution and plan the handover.
APIs and integrations
Connect existing platforms, reduce duplicate entry and make information flow reliably between the systems you depend on.
Explore this service ↗AI features and automation
Add useful AI capabilities to a product or workflow, including knowledge retrieval, document processing and controlled agent workflows.
Explore this service ↗Prototype to production

Explore this service ↗A useful commercial outcome
Commission a system your team can actually use.
A bespoke build earns its place when a supported product or simple integration cannot handle important work. Start with one useful release, not an open-ended replacement programme.
A first useful scope
Map users, records, approvals and integrations. Agree acceptance checks, dependencies and a price for the first stage before building.
Working software to review
Review increments with the people doing the work. Test permissions, representative data and failure cases before release.
Ownership beyond launch
Agree source-code ownership, operational access, documentation, training and the support boundary. Budget hosting and third-party subscriptions separately.

How I work with you
Scoped in stages. Delivered in reviewable pieces.
I start with the workflow and the people who will use the system, agree a first useful slice with you, then build it in increments for you to review. Cost is scoped stage by stage so it stays predictable as requirements become clearer, and every build ends with a handover your team can operate.
