Bespoke cloud business systems, built around your processes

built around you/

Stop fitting your processes around software that wasn’t built for you

Cirrus builds bespoke cloud business systems from scratch, hand-coded by our UK team around your exact workflow. No per-seat fees, no offshore outsourcing, no compromises.

If your business has outgrown spreadsheets and generic platforms, or has processes too specific for Salesforce or Sage, we build the system around you, not the other way around. We're bespoke software developers in Dorset, based in Bournemouth and working with businesses across the UK.

signs you've outgrown it/

Signs you've outgrown your current setup

• Your business runs on a shared spreadsheet that only one person really understands
• Staff fill in paper or PDF forms on site, and someone re-types them back at the office
• You're paying per-user fees for a CRM you've had to work around
• Customers call or email just to ask "where's my application?"
• Certificates, reports or CPD records are made by hand, one at a time
• You still rely on an old Microsoft Access database or desktop software
• Information lives in five different tools that don't talk to each other

If two or more of these sound familiar, a bespoke system will usually pay for itself in time saved. Our free systems review will tell you honestly whether it will.

what bespoke means/

Built around your business. Owned by your business.

A bespoke system is not a configured version of someone else’s platform. It is software written from scratch around your exact processes: the way your team works, the data you need to capture, the workflows that are specific to your industry or your operation.

Because it is built around you, it fits from day one. There is no period of adapting your processes to match the software. No feature bloat. No paying for tools you will never use. And because it is yours, not licensed from a third party, there are no per-seat fees that grow as your team does.

It also means you can meet the rules you work under. Because we build it from scratch, your system can be designed around the regulations of your industry and the specific requirements of your organisation, such as its security policies, data-handling rules, audit needs and contract terms. An off-the-shelf product only lets you do what it was built to do; a bespoke system is built to what you need to comply with.

Cirrus has been building bespoke business software for UK SMEs for over a decade. The systems we build are live, working and growing alongside the businesses that use them.

• 100%UK-built

  Every line of code written by our own team.

• £0Per-seat fees

  A fixed cost that doesn’t grow as your team does.

• ICORegistered

  Your data stays in the UK, always.

The Cellecta example. Started as sales call logging. Grew to include inspection reports, Robust Details certificates, CPD management, HR and QR merchandising: all connected, all fixed cost, all built by the same team. Read the case study

Why bespoke over off-the-shelf?

what we build/

Custom software development for any business process

These are the types of bespoke business systems we build most often. If your requirements don’t fit neatly into a category, that’s exactly the point: bespoke means built around you.

construction compliance/

Specialists in construction and building compliance

Most of our live systems run in construction, where paperwork, inspections and audit trails come with the job. We've built:

• Building control application systems: from submission to inspection, sign-off and certification
• Geo-located mobile inspection reports, with AI that checks for missing information before submission
• Robust Details and compliance certificate generation
• New-build warranty management, with client portals for applicants
• CPD management for manufacturers training architects and installers

Our systems help you keep the digital, time-stamped and auditable records that the Building Safety Act's golden thread expects, ready to share with clients, regulators and partners. They support your compliance; they don't replace your own responsibilities under the Act.

cost/

How much does a bespoke system cost?

Every system is fixed-price, agreed in writing after a free systems review, so you know the full cost before any work starts. As a guide to the kinds of project we price:

There are no per-seat fees, so adding staff doesn't add cost. Many clients start with one module and add more over time, as Cellecta has.

Compare it to off-the-shelf: a CRM at £50–£150 per user per month for 20 users costs £12k–£36k a year, every year, before customisation.
