Custom software
The system you can’t buy off the shelf, built around your process rather than someone else’s.
Technology & data consulting · Milton Keynes & London
We build the software you’ll still be running in five years.
Datapointe designs, builds and supports the systems businesses depend on — and stays long enough to prove they work.
Discover
Your goals, your users, your constraints — before anyone estimates anything.
Design
Prototype and test first. Production code is the expensive place to learn.
Build
Agile delivery you can see into, sprint by sprint.
Run
We don’t disappear at launch. Most of our work is second phase.
What we do
Six practices. One team that ships.
End-to-end technology partnership, from the first sketch to the system running at scale.
Product & service design
We prototype and test with real users before a line of production code is written.
Process engineering
Find where work actually stalls and remove it — often before any software is built.
Cloud & platform
Azure and AWS migration, CI/CD and infrastructure your own team can operate.
Data & AI
Pipelines, reporting and applied AI that answer a question somebody actually asked.
Security & assurance
Risk assessment, architecture review and compliance built in, not bolted on afterwards.
Our promise
We stay past the handover.
Most of our work is second phase — the part where a system meets real users, real volumes and the things nobody predicted. That is where projects are won or quietly lost.
- A named team, not a rotating cast of contractors
- Documentation and handover built into the sprint, not bolted on at the end
- Support arrangements sized to what you actually need
- An honest answer when the right advice is to do less
Selected work
Three problems, written out in full.
Full case studies on request — we respect client NDAs, so what follows is illustrative.
Illustrative
Financial services
Rebuilding a reporting pipeline under regulatory pressure
A lending platform’s regulatory reporting was assembled by hand each month from four systems. New requirements shortened the window, and the existing process could not be compressed any further without breaking.
We mapped the manual process, automated the collection and validation steps, and built an exception queue so analysts reviewed only what genuinely needed judgement.
OutcomeReporting turnaround moved from days to hours, with a full audit trail behind every figure.
Illustrative
Healthcare
A patient intake system built for clinics, not head office
Front-desk staff across several sites were registering patients through a system designed for central administrators. Every registration took longer than it should, and queues formed at the busiest hours.
We spent time at the desks before designing anything, prototyped a shorter intake flow, and tested it with the staff who would use it every day.
OutcomeIntake time fell by more than half in pilot clinics, with fewer records needing later correction.
Illustrative
Logistics
Real-time visibility for a multi-region delivery fleet
Dispatch had no live view of vehicles. Coordinators tracked drivers by phone, delivery windows were missed, and nobody could say with confidence where anything was.
We built a live tracking view over existing telematics data, with alerting on delays rather than a wall of green dots demanding constant attention.
OutcomeLive tracking rolled out across three regions, and missed-window incidents became visible early enough to act on.
A note on these: the three studies above are illustrative — representative of the shape of work we do, not accounts of named engagements. Real references are available under NDA during procurement.
What clients say
Trusted by teams who need it done right.
They didn’t just build what we asked for — they questioned the brief until it was the right brief.
Operations Director, logistics client — illustrative
Communication was constant and specific. We always knew exactly where the build stood.
Product Lead, financial services client — illustrative
Datapointe stayed on after launch to help us through the next phase, not just the handover.
Founder, healthcare startup — illustrative
Illustrative feedback, representative of the comments we receive. Named references available on request.
Good to know
Frequently asked questions.
How do I start a project with Datapointe?
Get in touch and we will arrange an initial conversation. We will talk through your goals, your timeline and your budget, and come back with a plan and an honest view of what is achievable.
How do you keep the build aligned with what we actually need?
We research your business, your users and your sector before design work begins, and we work alongside your people throughout. Every sprint produces something you can see and react to.
Can we see previous projects?
Yes. Our published work is illustrative because we respect client NDAs, but we can share directly relevant examples and arrange references during procurement.
How long do projects typically take?
It varies with scope. Discovery is usually two to four weeks; a first useful release is often eight to twelve weeks after that. We give an estimated timeline once we understand the work.
What happens after launch?
Whatever you need. Some clients take full handover with documentation and training; others keep us on for a support arrangement or the next phase.
