What we do

Software built for the third year, not the first demo

Fifteen services under one roof, delivered by the same senior team from discovery through to the support call two years later.

Who we are

Nine years, one team, 240 delivered projects

To build software that earns its keep — systems that cut the busywork out of a working day, hold up under real load, and stay cheap to change three years after launch.

We started in 2016 with three engineers and one ERP contract. We are around fifty people now, and the founding engineers still write code — because the person who scopes your project should be the person who has to build it.

Ship, then improve

Working software in front of real users beats a perfect plan. We release every two weeks from week two, and let evidence settle the arguments.

Own the outcome

We are not finished when the code merges. We are finished when the thing you hired us for is measurably happening in production.

Say the hard thing early

If a deadline is unrealistic or a feature is a bad idea, you will hear it in week one — not in the retrospective.

Leave it maintainable

Documentation, tests and a handover that means your team can carry the work forward without us. No hostage code.

How we work

Seven stages, and you see working software in week four

No black box. Every fortnight ends with a demo of something real, and a written note of anything that moved.

01

Discovery

1–2 weeks

We interview your team and your users, audit what already exists, and write down what success actually looks like in numbers.

02

Planning

1 week

Scope, architecture and a prioritised backlog with a real estimate — one we are prepared to be held to.

03

Design

2–3 weeks

Wireframes to clickable prototype, tested with people who will actually use it before a line of production code is written.

04

Development

Ongoing

Two-week sprints with a working demo at the end of each. You see progress fortnightly, not at the finish line.

05

Testing

Continuous

Automated suites run on every commit, plus manual QA, load testing and a security review before launch.

06

Deployment

1 week

Zero-downtime release with monitoring, alerting and backups configured before you go live, not after.

07

Maintenance

Retained

Patches, dependency upgrades, performance work and a support line with a human on the other end.

Why SoftCity

What you actually get when you hire us

Seven things clients tell us made the difference. Every one of them is a number we track internally.

Nine years, one team

The people who scope your project are the people who build it. Average tenure here is over four years, so nobody is learning your domain on your budget.

4.2 yrs average tenure

Genuinely agile

Two-week sprints, a working demo every fortnight, and a backlog you can reorder at any point. Not waterfall wearing a stand-up.

Fortnightly releases

QA is not an afterthought

Automated test suites, manual regression passes and load testing before launch. Our median production defect rate is under one per release.

<1 defect per release

You always know where things are

A named project manager, a shared board, and a weekly written update. No chasing anyone for a status.

Weekly written updates

Pricing you can plan around

Fixed-price discovery, capped monthly build rates, and no change-request theatre for things that were obviously in scope.

Fixed-price discovery

Support with a human on it

SLA-backed maintenance with a named engineer who knows your system. Median first response is under two hours in business time.

<2 hr first response

Security by default

ISO 27001-aligned processes, encrypted at rest and in transit, dependency scanning on every build, and an annual penetration test.

ISO 27001 aligned

Selected work

Systems running in production right now

Hospitals, banks, schools, warehouses and shop floors. Each of these replaced something that was not working.

Client feedback

What our clients say when we are not in the room

Collected at project close and at annual review, unedited apart from length.

“They replaced a stalled two-year ERP programme with something live in nineteen weeks. The difference was ruthless prioritisation and a team that told us the truth about scope.”

Miriam Osei

Chief Operating Officer, Halcyon Group

“Our reconciliation used to take four people three days a month. It now takes twenty minutes and nobody touches a spreadsheet. That is the whole review.”

Tariq Mahmood

Finance Director, Kestrel Bank

“We have used four agencies. SoftCity is the only one that pushed back on a feature we wanted, explained why, and turned out to be right.”

Ayesha Rehman

Head of Product, Solstice Education

“The mobile app handled results day — 40,000 concurrent users — without a single incident. They load-tested for it six weeks before we thought to ask.”

Daniel Okoro

Chief Technology Officer, Northbank Retail

“Handover was genuinely complete. Documentation, runbooks, two weeks of pairing. Our team took it over and has shipped independently ever since.”

Sofia Marchetti

Engineering Manager, Vantage Logistics

“Support answered a production question at 11pm on a Sunday, with a fix deployed before Monday morning. We have never had that from a vendor.”

Imran Sheikh

Managing Director, Atlas Freight
