Success

We build the software your business is missing.

Your business has outgrown workarounds. We build software that can pay for itself in weeks, then keep saving time for years. Your team can serve more customers and grow without admin and headcount growing at the same rate.

We handle the build, security and ongoing maintenance.

[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 a difficult 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.

[Software in use]

Five businesses run work through software we've built.

Recruitment, commercial finance, events, fitted furniture and financial advice. Each client brought us a real job that standard software left unfinished.

[What to send]

A forwarded email can be enough to start.

Send the screenshots or screen recording behind the problem. Add two or three real cases, including the awkward one, and tell us who knows when the result is right.

Send the awkward bit

Briefing pack

Rough evidence is useful

The work as it runs today

The inbox, CRM screens or screen recording people use now.

Two or three real cases

Include the awkward case alongside an example that works cleanly.

Who owns the answer

The person who can approve access and say whether the result is right.

The systems and the date

Name the software involved and when the new workflow needs to work.

Within two working days, Phil and Alex reply with one route.

[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.

  2. 02Alex checks feasibility, systems and technical risk.
  3. 03You get a written route within two working days, with any unknowns called out.
