Home / Platforms / Custom CRM & Systems

Your CRM is the lifeblood of your business. We keep it running, and take it further.

Abandoned mid-build. Broken integrations. A system your team won't use. Or simply one that hasn't kept pace with your business. We rescue, complete, extend, and build custom CRM and business systems, working with what you already have, not replacing it.

When your CRM goes down

Your CRM going down isn't a technical inconvenience. It's an operational emergency.

When your CRM is down, your team is blind. Customer records are inaccessible. Sales pipelines stall. Support tickets disappear. Operations grind to a halt. Every hour without a fix is an hour your business is running without its operational core.

Most agencies respond in days, if they respond at all. We work to response times that are unheard of in this sector. Because when your system is down, you don't need a ticket number. You need a senior engineer on the problem.

Without proper support
  • Days waiting for a response while operations are down
  • Generalists who don't understand your system's architecture
  • No one who knows your system well enough to diagnose fast
  • Risk of data loss, corruption, or cascading failures
With Resolve Beyond
  • Senior engineer on your critical issue within 1 hour
  • Every request acknowledged within 3 hours , unheard of
  • Engineer who already knows your system, no re-explaining
  • In 26 years, we have never failed to resolve an issue. Not one.

Issues Unresolved
In 26 years of custom system development and support, we have never had a CRM or business system issue we couldn't resolve. Not one.
We take on what you have

Your CRM is the operational core of your business. We treat it like it is.

Most developers want a clean slate. They'd rather rebuild than understand what's already there. We're the opposite. We take on complex, undocumented, half-built, heavily customised systems, and we make them work, improve them, and extend them.

Your CRM holds your customer relationships, your operational history, your business logic. Rebuilding it risks all of that. We work with what you have, protecting what works, fixing what doesn't, and adding what's missing. New functions, new integrations, new automations, all built into the system your team already knows.

We have never had a CRM or custom business system we couldn't take on, fix, or extend. Not one.

We take over with no documentation
We've taken over CRM systems with zero documentation and an unreachable developer. We map the code, understand the logic, document it properly, and take it forward.
We add new functions and features
Your CRM should grow as your business grows. We add new modules, reporting dashboards, automation rules, notification systems, user roles, built into what already exists.
We integrate with anything
ERP, website, payment systems, email marketing, accounting, third-party APIs, if it has an interface, we can connect to it. We've integrated with systems that have no ready-made connectors.
We build, then stay
We don't hand over and disappear. The same engineers who built or rescued your system are the ones who support and extend it. No handover, no starting over.
What We Do

Every stage of the CRM and system lifecycle.

From rescuing abandoned builds to building new systems from scratch, and everything in between.

CRM rescue and completion

Developer gone, build abandoned, system broken. We take it over, map what's there, and complete it. No documentation required. We've never found a system we couldn't understand and take forward.

Custom CRM development

When off-the-shelf CRM doesn't fit your business. We build custom CRM systems in Laravel, PHP, and React, built around your workflows, your data, your processes. Not a compromise.

CRM integrations

Connect your CRM to your website, ERP, payment systems, email marketing, and third-party APIs. HubSpot, Salesforce, bespoke systems, bi-directional data flows built properly.

Feature development and roadmap

New functionality added to your existing system over time. Reporting dashboards, automation rules, user roles, notification systems, bulk actions, built to your roadmap, not ours.

Companion mobile apps

Your CRM on mobile. Flutter-built iOS and Android apps that connect to your existing system, field access, push notifications, offline capability, real-time updates. Built by the same team who built the CRM.

AI features and automation

Intelligent automation, smart reporting, AI-assisted data entry, and workflow automation built into your existing CRM. Not a bolt-on, woven into how the system already works.

Our Tech Stack

Full-stack capability. Every layer covered.

AI Built Into Your System

AI isn't a separate product. It belongs inside your CRM.

Most businesses are being sold AI as a new platform to buy, a dashboard to log into, or a subscription to a tool that sits outside their existing systems. That's not how we think about it. AI should be woven into the system your team already uses every day, automating the repetitive, surfacing what matters, and making the data you already have work harder.

We build AI features directly into existing CRM and business systems. Not as add-ons. Not as third-party integrations that break. As native functionality built properly into your architecture, using your data, working within your existing workflows.

We've already done this.

For Rosewood Academy, we added AI features directly into their existing CRM, automated data processing, smart reporting, and intelligent workflow automation. Not a new platform. Not a bolt-on. Built natively into the system their staff use every day.

Discuss AI for Your System
Intelligent automation
Automate repetitive data entry, classification, and routing. Tasks that currently take hours of manual work handled automatically, based on rules, patterns, and learned behaviour from your own data.
Smart reporting and insights
Dashboards that surface what matters, not just what was asked for. Pattern detection across your data. Anomaly alerts. AI-generated summaries that give your team context without digging through spreadsheets.
AI-assisted data entry and validation
Auto-complete, field suggestions, duplicate detection, data quality scoring. Your team spends less time on admin and more time on work that matters. Built directly into your existing CRM interface.
Workflow AI and decision support
AI that recommends next actions, flags records that need attention, and routes work to the right person. Decision support built into your existing processes, not a separate tool to remember to check.
Your data stays yours
We build AI features using your own infrastructure and data, not third-party AI platforms that require your data to leave your system. Privacy, security, and control remain with you.
Not this
A separate AI platform
Another dashboard to log into. Another subscription. Another tool your team has to remember to use. Disconnected from your actual data.
Not this either
A generic AI plugin
Off-the-shelf AI that doesn't understand your data, your workflows, or your business. Generic outputs that require constant manual correction.
This
AI native to your system
Built into the CRM your team already uses. Trained on your data. Working within your workflows. Maintained by the same engineers who built the system.
Case Study

Rosewood Academy, CRM rescued, completed, and taken further.

From abandoned mid-build to a live system with AI features, a mobile app, and staff-to-pupil push notifications. This is what ongoing partnership looks like.

The situation

The situation
Rosewood Academy had commissioned a custom CRM to manage student records, attendance, safeguarding, and communications. The original developer abandoned the project mid-build, leaving a partially working system with no documentation and no way to reach them. The deadline was the first day of the new academic term.

We were brought in with weeks to go. We tracked down the original developer, obtained the codebase, assessed what existed, and completed the system in time for term start.

What we delivered

What we delivered
  • Completed the abandoned CRM before the academic year deadline
  • Full student records, attendance, and safeguarding module
  • Reporting and export functionality for regulatory compliance
  • AI features added, automated data processing and smart reporting
  • Flutter companion app, iOS and Android for staff access
  • Push notification system, staff-to-pupil messaging
  • Retained as ongoing development partner post-launch
They got hold of the original developer, took on the files, and had the CRM ready before the first day of term. What started as an emergency has turned into one of our most valuable partnerships.

FAQ

Custom CRM questions, answered.

Our CRM was abandoned mid-build and the developer is unreachable, can you take it over?+

Yes, and it’s exactly the situation we rescued Rosewood Academy from. We’ve tracked down original developers, obtained codebases, and completed abandoned systems multiple times. We assess what exists, map the code and logic, understand what was intended, and complete the build. No documentation required. We’ve never found a system we couldn’t take on.

We have a working CRM but the developer who built it has left, can you take over support?+

Yes, and it’s one of our most common engagements. We take over systems with no documentation regularly. We map the codebase, understand the business logic, document what we find, and become the ongoing engineering team. The system doesn’t need to be broken for us to take it over, we do planned, managed transitions as well as emergency rescues.

What does taking over our system actually look like in practice?+

We start with a technical assessment, we look at the codebase, the database structure, the integrations, and any documentation that exists. We map what the system does, how it’s built, and what the current state is. We then give you an honest picture of what’s there before we agree anything. Most takeovers are up and running within a week. You’ll have a named senior engineer assigned to your system and a direct line of contact from day one.

Off-the-shelf CRM doesn't fit how our business works, can you build a custom one?+

Yes. We build custom CRM systems in Laravel/PHP with React frontends, designed around your specific workflows, data, and processes. We scope commercially first, we’ll tell you what it will cost and what you’ll get before we start. We also stay with the system after launch, so you’re not back to square one when you need the next feature.

How do you price custom CRM development and ongoing support?+

Custom builds are scoped and priced upfront, you’ll know the cost before we start, and we don’t go over without your explicit approval. Ongoing support runs on monthly retainers or block hours from £450 per month for custom and complex systems. Every retainer includes your 1-hour P1 critical response, 3-hour acknowledgement on all requests, and a named senior engineer. No surprises, no hidden costs, no scope creep without agreement.

Our system was built on an unusual or older tech stack, can you still support it?+

Almost certainly yes. We’ve taken on systems built in legacy PHP, older Laravel versions, custom frameworks, and stacks that most developers wouldn’t touch. Our engineers have genuine breadth, we assess the technology first and give you an honest answer. In 26 years we have never walked away from a system because of the technology it was built on.

Can you integrate our CRM with our website, ERP, and other systems?+

Yes. We build bi-directional integrations between CRM systems and websites, ERP platforms, payment providers, email marketing tools, and third-party APIs. We did this for Drummonds Bathrooms, connecting their WordPress site to HubSpot CRM with full lead sync, GeoTagging, and automated contact capture. If it has an API, we can integrate it.

Can you add AI features to our existing CRM?+

Yes. We’ve done this for Rosewood Academy, adding intelligent automation, smart reporting, and AI-assisted data processing to an existing CRM. These aren’t bolt-ons, we build them into the system properly so they work with your existing data and workflows.

Can you build a companion mobile app for our CRM?+

Yes. We build Flutter apps (iOS and Android) that connect to existing CRM and business systems. Field access, push notifications, offline capability, real-time data sync. Built by the same team who supports the CRM, so there’s no coordination overhead and no mismatched architecture.

How is this different from hiring a freelancer to build our CRM?+

The biggest difference is what happens after launch. A freelancer builds something, hands it over, and moves on, leaving you with a system that nobody understands and can’t be extended without starting again. We build and stay. The same engineers who built it maintain it, support it, and develop it further. You have a named engineer, guaranteed response times, and a team that treats your system as if it’s their own.
