It usually starts with a spreadsheet to track enquiries. Then another for bookings. Then a third-party platform that takes a cut of every transaction. A year later you’ve got five tabs open, a WhatsApp group that’s somehow become critical, and a growing feeling that you’re running the admin instead of the business.
Hiring doesn’t fix it. Another SaaS subscription doesn’t fix it either. Those tools are built for everyone, which means they’re built for nobody in particular. The third option is a system designed around how your business truly works.
We build bespoke digital infrastructure for property businesses. You own the IP, you own the codebase, and you host it on infrastructure you control. Past work includes a ticketing platform for Property & Poppadoms that now processes tens of thousands of pounds without third-party fees, a Command-tier portal for Property Developer Show, and a short-term rental aggregator for YourStays that pulls live data from BookedDirectly, Airbnb, and Booking.com into one place. Each one was built for a specific bottleneck in a specific business.
15 minutes on the phone. You tell us what's eating your time. We ask where the bottlenecks sit, what you've already tried, and what a good outcome looks like.
We map your current workflow and identify the steps worth automating. You get a written spec and an interactive prototype before any production code gets written.
6 to 10 weeks for a Growth-tier system, longer for larger platforms. Review checkpoints throughout. At the end, you own everything: code, data, hosting, documentation.
Property & Poppadoms runs national networking events for property professionals. They were on Eventbrite, paying platform fees on every ticket and managing the rest by hand. We replaced that with a private platform covering ticketing, event creation, door check-in, host management, discount codes, and memberships. The platform processed £10k in month one and over £30k in the first three months. Platform fees dropped by 72%, and we’ve been deploying new features to it monthly since.
