Systems work
Software services
The company behind Gateway Solver, HMRC-recognised since 2004 and originally incorporated in 2003, also takes a written brief for on-premises AI, workflow automation, a design, a build, a data move, or the hardware that has to sit next to the software. Software that has to reach HMRC on deadline is a good school for the rest.
Start with the constraint
Send what is already true: a codebase, a database, a pile of files, or the step someone retypes every Monday. You get a plain answer on whether it is in scope, and a price built from that note rather than from a discovery workshop.
What “in scope” means here
- On-premises AI and workflow automation, with the model on hardware you control and inside a job a person is still doing by hand
- Windows, web, mobile, and cloud systems, with the source of a bespoke build handed over at the end
- A database chosen, moved, or reported on, whether that is Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, Access, or the files people actually have
- A review of software we wrote, and prototypes for the lock, sensor, or part that software has to talk to
The sections
-
AI and workflow automation
No licence stands behind the title of AI consultant, which leaves you with the record to go on. Here that record is a software house originally incorporated in 2003, the person who takes your brief, and automation that is already in production.
-
Software development consultancy
Consultancy is worth paying for when it leaves you with a decision you can keep: whether a model belongs in the job, whether the design will hold, whether the code matches what was agreed, and how a build gets from the first meeting to source handover.

Software development
Custom software for a business that already knows its constraint. Desktop, web, mobile, and cloud, written by the same people who build Gateway Solver Desktop and VAT Solver Pro and hold them to an HMRC deadline.

Data services
Most custom jobs turn out to be data jobs underneath. Choose the store, move the records, then put the right number in front of the person who has to act on it.

Security services
If the brief includes a review of software we built, we will say in writing what that review covers and what it does not. A full penetration test of a live network is a specialist engagement, and you should buy it from a specialist.
-
Hardware services
Software that talks to a thing in the room. We prototype the microcontroller and the part so the software has something real to be tested against, and we leave board-level product lines and high-street print runs to the people who do those all day.
Before you write, it may help to see what the same people have already built. Selected systems are on the portfolio.
