[Two routes]

Know exactly what you need? Go straight to a build.

Not sure it can be done? We'll build a working proof on your data first, so you see it running before you commit to a full build.

Direct Build

Full build

Live in as little as 5 days

For a clear brief: what needs to exist, the systems involved, an owner and a date. Once we have the details, we can go straight to a full build.

  • Fixed scope and a fixed price before we start
  • Integrations, permissions and a full audit trail
  • Tested against your real cases before launch
  • Live within 5 days once every detail is agreed

Build Proof

Working proof

3-day proof

For a valuable problem where feasibility, data quality or an awkward integration needs proving before anyone commits to a build.

  • A working proof on representative data
  • Integration, security and data-flow design
  • Acceptance criteria you sign off
  • A fixed build quote at the day-three readout

Ongoing improvement and support programmes exist for clients with a live system and a real backlog. And when an off-the-shelf product already does the job, we'll say so.

How it works

[Send it Monday, see a plan by Wednesday]

01

Send it

Three rough bullets are enough. The form below asks the questions that matter.

02

Two working days

A written reply from Phil: what we would build, what we need from you and whether anything needs proving first.

03

Proof or build

Uncertain requirements get a three-day proof. Clear ones go straight to a fixed-price build.

04

Live in days

With the details agreed, most builds go live within 5 days, tested against known cases.

[Current focus]

Right now, we're deep in recruitment operations.

Much of our current build work is for recruitment firms on Bullhorn, Vincere and JobAdder: the workflows and integrations an ATS leaves manual.

Onboarding and compliance ATS integrations Timesheet and payroll exceptions Client and candidate portals E-sign flows Data cleanup and reactivation
AM2PM

AM2PM run candidate assessments on software Vu built.

  • Recruiters build and send assessments; grading is automatic
  • The graded report lands back in their recruitment CRM
  • Reminders, follow-ups and CRM updates run in the background

One account, assembled build by build: assessments, e-signing, CRM automation and a bulk-update extension their CRM vendor couldn't offer.

Not in recruitment? Most of the clients below aren't either. The way in is the same: send us the requirement.

[Good fit]

A good requirement has an owner.

Vu is a good fit when

  • A valuable workflow is still manual, or breaks between systems
  • Someone can approve the scope, the access and the budget
  • The result can be tested against known cases
  • Standard software doesn't cover the exceptions

Probably not, when

  • It's still a general AI brainstorm rather than a requirement
  • Nobody owns the process or can grant access to it
  • An existing product already does it well. We'll tell you which one
  • You're after a free prototype

[Who you deal with]

You deal with the people who build it.

Vu is run by its two founders. The person who scopes your work is the person who delivers it, and the same team builds Vu's own products, Raq.com and 102.ai.

[Send your requirement]

Tell us what needs to exist.

A rough brief is fine. What should exist, what happens today and who owns the decision is enough for a proper answer.

What happens next

  1. 01Phil reads it and checks the commercial fit.
  2. 02Alex checks feasibility, systems and technical risk.
  3. 03You get a written route within two working days, with any unknowns called out.

Prefer email? phil@vu.co.uk gets the same two-day reply.
