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 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.
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.
From rescuing abandoned builds to building new systems from scratch, and everything in between.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We work across the complete technology stack, from database to API to frontend to mobile. We don't subcontract and we don't have gaps.
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.
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.
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
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
As part of our ongoing WordPress support for Drummonds Bathrooms, we delivered a full HubSpot CRM integration, connecting the website to their sales team, capturing leads automatically from multiple contact points, and implementing GeoTagging to surface relevant showroom locations to each website visitor. Customer data now flows cleanly between the site and HubSpot without manual intervention.
Whether you have an existing CRM that needs rescuing, a partial build that needs completing, or a working system that needs extending, we fit around what's already there.
Whether it's broken, abandoned, undocumented, or just not being developed, we take over the codebase, map it properly, and become the team behind it. No rebuild unless genuinely needed.
A CRM built around how your business actually works. We scope commercially, build properly, and remain the team behind it long after launch. No handover, no disappearing.
Custom systems are Complex Platform rate. Every retainer includes 1-hour critical response, 3-hour acknowledgement, and a named senior engineer. Set fees, no surprises.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Abandoned build, broken system, or need something built from scratch, we're the right people to talk to.
