Custom software
Systems built for how your business actually runs, replacing the spreadsheets and workarounds holding it together.
How it worksAll industries
Precision and assembly
Nothing ships without its evidence.
First article inspection, serialised part history, configuration control, and non-conformance discipline for tier suppliers.
Where the standard system leaves the cost in place.
In aerospace and defence work the quality system is not yours. It is imposed by the prime, audited against a standard, and enforced through the documentation that accompanies every delivery. A part that is dimensionally perfect is still rejected if its inspection record, material certificate, or process approval cannot be produced. Most suppliers meet this with a document controller, a filing system, and overtime. That works until volume, revisions, or a second customer arrives. These are the failures that show up as delivery holds and customer audits rather than as manufacturing problems.
- First article inspection reports are compiled manually for each customer format, from measurements that already exist on paper.
- Drawing revisions arrive from the customer and reach the shop floor through a person, so parts get made to a superseded revision.
- Serialised parts are tracked in a register, so build history and life data have to be reconstructed when the customer asks.
- Non-conformances are raised on a form, reviewed in a meeting, and dispositioned in an email, with no single record of what was decided and why.
- Which outside processor holds which approval, and until when, is known by one engineer and checked when the purchase order is already late.
Built for aerospace and defence.
Built on the same core our products run on, extended with the records and rules this sector is actually judged against. These are scopes we build and integrate, not shelf modules with a licence key.
First article and inspection records
Measured results captured against the ballooned drawing, with inspection reports assembled into the customer's required format from data already in the system rather than retyped for each submission.
Serialised part genealogy
Every serialised item carries the material lot, operations, operator, equipment, inspection results, and any concession that applied to it, forward and backward, for the life of the part.
Configuration and revision control
Drawing and specification revisions held as controlled records, with released work orders bound to a revision so the floor cannot be working to a superseded one.
Non-conformance and review board
Non-conformances raised at the operation, routed to review, dispositioned with reasoning recorded, and linked to the customer notification or concession where one is required.
Special process and approved supplier control
Heat treatment, plating, NDT, and other special processes tied to approved sources with approval scope and expiry, so an unapproved route cannot be purchased by accident.
Calibration and tooling control
Gauges, fixtures, and tooling with calibration status, due dates, and usage history, so an out-of-calibration instrument cannot silently accept a part.
What it has to be able to prove.
Compliance fails when it is a parallel activity. These obligations are carried by the system that runs the operation, so the evidence exists because of how work was recorded rather than because someone assembled it afterwards.
Quality system record retention
Records structured, indexed, and retained for the periods the standard and the contract require, retrievable by part, serial, order, or date rather than by where the file was put.
Export and end-use documentation
Controlled-item classification, licence references, and end-use documentation held against the item and the customer, so a shipment cannot be raised without the authorisation it needs.
Data residency and access control
Controlled technical data kept on infrastructure you can point to, with role-based access and a logged trail of who saw what. This is a requirement in this sector, not a preference.
What it runs on.
The sector layer is built. The operational core underneath it is not a proposal: it is running in production with clients today.

What it returns.
Delivery documentation stops being a bottleneck
Inspection reports and certificates are produced from records already captured, so paperwork does not hold finished parts on the dock.
Revision errors designed out
Work orders are bound to a released revision, so the floor cannot build to superseded information.
Audits answered from the system
A customer or certification audit is served by query rather than by a fortnight of preparation.
Where this normally starts.
Which of these applies depends on how well the constraint is already understood. A review that finds the real one usually turns into a build.
Systems consulting
An operating review that ends with a costed, sequenced plan you can act on with or without us.
How it worksQuestions we actually get asked.
We are a tier two supplier. Is this level of control excessive for us?
The obligation is passed down the chain, so the requirement is largely the same whether you supply the prime or supply the tier one. What changes is scale. A smaller supplier needs the same traceability with far less administrative overhead, which is precisely the argument for the system doing it rather than a document controller.
Our shop floor has no reliable network. Can operators still record work?
Yes. Capture is designed to tolerate it: local capture that syncs when the connection returns, or a small number of hardened stations rather than a terminal at every machine. What must not happen is deferred data entry from paper at the end of a shift, because that is where traceability quietly stops being contemporaneous.
Where does controlled technical data live?
Wherever your contract and your customer require it to live, including infrastructure you own. We build so that the deployment target is a decision rather than a constraint, and we do not put controlled data through third-party services you have not approved.
