A London-founded engineering team building bespoke enterprise software for UK businesses, architected for compliance, scale and the workflow you actually run on.
Our Work
Software built for real businesses
Apptechies is a London-founded custom software development company building bespoke enterprise systems for UK businesses, with GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 practices built into the architecture from day one, not a compliance checklist applied before launch.
Plenty of agencies will build you software. Fewer understand what changes when your users, your data, and your regulator are all in the UK. Founded in London in 2018, we've spent 8+ building systems where GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and sector rules aren't an afterthought, they're part of the architecture conversation on day one.
That approach has shipped 600+ solutions across 25+ industries, with a 99% client satisfaction rate.
We work with businesses across the UK, not just London, and service coverage does not depend on a client being near one of our desks. If you would rather scale your own engineering team than outsource the whole build, our hire software developers service can embed a dedicated engineer inside your existing team instead.
AWS, Azure and GCP systems designed through our cloud services practice to scale under real UK peak-hours load, not just a benchmark test.
Our software development consulting work is a strategic assessment and technology recommendation before a single line of code, grounded in your actual constraints.
Generic estimators can't account for your actual integrations, compliance scope or data model.
A group-travel management platform for event organisers and experience providers — hotel package coordination, booking tools, and travel logistics for festivals and sporting events.
A SOC analyst dashboard for cyber security protection through deception — real-time alert triage, customer and analyst management, and role-based incident workflows.
A member-owned digital banking platform designed so members profit rather than a bank — a model built around shared rewards instead of shareholder returns.
Apptechies has been a reliable engineering partner on our link-management platform, working across web, iOS, and Android with a level of scalability and reliability that’s simply phenomenal. They are world-class engineers.
Data minimisation and lawful-basis mapping are architectural decisions we make before writing a single screen.
FCA-aware architecture for FinTech, NHS DTAC awareness for healthcare, scoped during discovery, not after a rejected audit.
Hosting scoped to UK or EU cloud regions where your data-residency requirements call for it.
GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 practices baked into architecture from day one, so compliance never blocks a launch date.
600+ solutions delivered across 25+ industries, patterns we've already solved for, not first-time guesses.
Modular architecture designed to absorb new requirements without the two-year rewrite most custom software eventually needs.
A UK-timezone-overlapping engineering team, sourced through our software development outsourcing services, 100% dedicated to your software and reporting directly to you.
Embedded inside your existing team, matching your tools, standups and sprint cadence.
Fixed scope, timeline and budget, ideal for a well-defined build with a clear deadline.
Understanding your actual business logic and constraints before any architecture decision.
System design and UX decisions made explicit and reviewable before development starts.
Iterative builds in short sprints, with working software demoed regularly, not held back to a big reveal.
Automated and manual testing built into every sprint, not bolted on before release.
CI/CD pipelines that make releases routine, with rollback plans in place before go-live.
A post-launch support window and an ongoing retainer with the same engineers who built it.
The questions we hear most from teams hiring a custom software development team. Don't see yours? Ask us directly on the right.
A focused internal tool typically runs $20,000-$50,000, while a full enterprise platform with multiple integrations can run $150,000+. We scope against your actual requirements after a discovery call rather than a generic range.
A focused MVP typically takes 8-12 weeks. A full enterprise platform with multiple integrations usually runs 20-30 weeks depending on scope.
Full working-hours overlap, no cross-border data-transfer complications, and a team that already understands UK regulatory context, without the premium of an in-house hire.
GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 shape data-minimisation, storage and consent decisions from the architecture phase, covered by our compliance and security practices. We scope these during discovery, not as a pre-launch retrofit.
FinTech, healthcare, logistics and eCommerce see the clearest ROI, though the underlying discipline, solving your specific workflow, not a generic template, applies across all 25+ industries we've worked in.
Yes. Every engagement includes a post-launch support window, and most clients continue with an ongoing maintenance and iteration retainer.
Yes. Our software integration services regularly bridge new builds into legacy ERPs, on-premise databases and internal APIs that were never designed for modern integration.
Ask to see systems the team has actually shipped and how those systems have performed in production since, then compare how each proposal handles architecture, security and what happens after launch, rather than just the headline price.
We move through requirements and discovery, architecture and design, iterative development in short sprints, quality assurance built into every sprint, deployment with rollback plans in place, then post-launch maintenance rather than treating launch as the end point.
An off-the-shelf product can work well when your workflow is close to standard. Custom development earns its cost once you need integrations, data ownership or process logic a packaged product cannot flex to support.
We map data ownership, integration boundaries and expected scale before choosing a stack, then document the tradeoffs so the decision is reviewable rather than assumed.
Data minimisation, lawful-basis mapping and encryption-at-rest are architectural decisions we make before writing a single screen, with UK or EU cloud hosting scoped during discovery where data residency matters.
Yes. You can hire software developers to work inside your existing team and codebase on a dedicated basis, or we can run the full project as a self-contained team depending on how you want to staff it.
You own the source code, architecture documentation and infrastructure configuration delivered under the engagement. We are also happy to sign an NDA before any detailed discussion of your system.
Every engagement includes a post-launch support window, and most clients continue with an ongoing maintenance and iteration retainer with the same engineers who built the system.
Tell us what you're building, and a senior engineer or solutions architect will reply within 24 hours.
