Services / Work / Web platforms / Eight modules
The platform your business actually runs on
Most companies outgrow their spreadsheets long before they replace them. A web platform built to your own process puts the same data in front of everyone who needs it, with permissions that match how the business is actually organised.

Standard specification
The eight modules in a standard platform deployment
This is the baseline every platform starts from. What makes it yours is the process modelled on top of it, which is written down in the scope before anyone writes code.
01 / Accounts and roles
Users, roles and per-screen permissions, enforced on the server rather than by hiding buttons. A branch manager sees their branch, an owner sees all of them, and neither can reach the other's data by editing a URL.
02 / The records themselves
The entities your business runs on — clients, jobs, assets, applications, whatever the domain is — with validation at the point of entry so bad data never reaches the database.
03 / Workflow and approvals
The stages a record moves through, who may move it, and what must be true before it can advance. Approvals above a limit wait for a named person instead of proceeding quietly.
04 / Documents and uploads
Files attached to the record they belong to, with type and size checks, stored outside the web root so a direct link cannot expose them to someone who should not have them.
05 / Search and list views
Every list filterable, sortable and exportable to CSV or PDF, and fast on a large table because the query is indexed rather than because the table is small today.
06 / Dashboards and reporting
The figures management actually asks for, on one screen, each one clickable through to the records behind it so a number can always be explained.
07 / Notifications
Email and WhatsApp alerts on the events that matter, scheduled summaries, and reminders on anything overdue, so the system chases rather than a person remembering to.
08 / Audit trail
Who changed what, when, and what the value was before. Non-negotiable once more than two people share a system, and far easier to build in than to add afterwards.
Commonly commissioned
What these platforms usually replace
The shared spreadsheet
One file everybody edits, nobody can audit, and two people have open at once. Becomes records with owners, permissions and a history of every change.
The client portal that never existed
Customers emailing for a status that is already in your system. A portal shows them their own records, and stops the phone ringing for information you already hold.
Reporting assembled by hand
Figures copied from several screens into a deck every month. Generated from the same data the screens use, so the numbers cannot disagree with each other.
Software you cannot change
An off-the-shelf product that fits eighty per cent and blocks the other twenty. Rebuilt around your process, with the source code handed over so you are never blocked again.
Pricing
Entry pricing for web platforms and dashboards
These are the figures a build of that shape starts at. Beyond them an engagement is quoted as one fixed figure against an approved scope, so the price does not move unless the scope does.
PremiumFrom

Frequently asked
On platform engagements
01Why PHP and MySQL rather than something newer?
Because you have to live with it after we hand it over. PHP, MySQL and React run on ordinary hosting, cost little to keep online, and can be picked up by any competent developer in this market without a specialist search. A fashionable stack that nobody local can maintain is a liability disguised as a feature.
02Do we own the code?
Yes, in full, including the database schema. There is no licence, no per-user fee and nothing that renews. At handover you receive the source, the database and the deployment notes, and you are free to take it to any other developer. We would rather be kept because the work is good than because leaving is difficult.
03Will it work on phones?
Every screen is built to work on a phone, because in practice that is where approvals and lookups happen. Heavy data entry is still better on a desktop, and where a screen is genuinely desk work we say so rather than pretending a twenty-column grid is comfortable on a handset.
