Case Studies: Real-World SME Systems Built & Modernised

I’ve spent over 25 years designing, building and modernising business-critical systems for SMEs — often replacing or rescuing ageing bespoke applications that teams rely on every day.

Projects range from job, asset and workflow management systems and Android field engineer apps, through to online applications and enrolment platforms, customer portals, subscriptions, reporting dashboards and integrations with ERP, CRM and payment systems.

The selection below is deliberately small — chosen to reflect the kind of complex, real-world problems I help solve. If you don’t see an exact match for your requirements, there’s a good chance I’ve worked on something similar.

Some projects are delivered under NDAs and can’t be publicly detailed.
