Three problems we solve

We work with established UK businesses, typically 20 to 200 people, whose day-to-day work runs on software but who don't have a large engineering team of their own. Most come to us with one of these.

  • AI & automation

    “We’re doing too much manually.”

    Staff copy information between systems, re-key emails and check documents by hand. We automate the repetitive work, with AI where it helps, so your team gets hours back every week.

    • Email to CRM workflows
    • Document and invoice extraction
    • Quote and proposal automation
    • Customer support and knowledge assistants
    • Automated reporting
    Start with an AI & Automation Discovery
  • Modernisation

    “Our software is becoming a problem.”

    It was built years ago, it's hard to change, and the developer who built it has moved on. We find the risks, then modernise it step by step, without a big-bang rewrite.

    • Old .NET Framework to modern .NET
    • Windows servers to Azure or AWS
    • Automated tests and deployments
    • Security fixes and upgrades
    Start with an Application Health Check
  • New features

    “We need something our software doesn’t do.”

    Customers need a portal, staff need a report, or two systems need to talk. We turn the requirement into a clear design, build it and connect it to the systems you already run.

    • Customer portals and document uploads
    • Online payments
    • Connecting your CRM to internal systems
    • Reporting and APIs
    • AI search across your documents
    Start with a Product Discovery

Start with a fixed-fee discovery

Pick the discovery that fits your problem. You'll get a clear plan and a cost before you commit to anything bigger. When you're ready, we deliver it and keep it running.

  1. Step 1: discover AI & automation

    AI & Automation Discovery

    Workshop and assessment, fixed fee

    We map where your team's time goes and find the repetitive work worth automating, using AI where it helps and plain automation where it doesn't.

    • Map of your manual processes
    • Automation shortlist, ranked by time saved
    • Recommended approach for each
    • Costed plan for the first automation
    Book a discovery
  2. Step 1: discover Modernisation

    Application Health Check

    Two weeks, fixed fee

    An independent review of an application your business depends on and the platform it runs on, so you know where the risks are and what to fix first.

    • Architecture assessment report
    • Risk register
    • 90-day modernisation roadmap
    • Costed implementation plan
    Book a Health Check
  3. Step 1: discover New features

    Product Discovery

    Short engagement, fixed fee

    We turn “we need something that does X” into clear requirements, a solution design and a plan to deliver it.

    • Agreed requirements
    • Solution design that fits your systems
    • Scope and estimate
    • Delivery plan with milestones
    Discuss a requirement
  4. Step 2: deliver

    Delivery projects

    Agreed scope, milestone payments

    We build what your discovery planned, against agreed milestones and acceptance criteria, connected to the systems you already run.

    • Automations and AI features
    • Legacy .NET to modern .NET
    • Azure and AWS cloud migration
    • Portals, APIs and system integration
    • CI/CD, containers and deployment automation
    Discuss a project
  5. Step 3: run

    Application Care

    Monthly plan, ongoing

    Ongoing engineering ownership after go-live, or for a platform you already run, under one monthly agreement.

    • Monitoring and performance tracking
    • Incident support
    • Security updates and dependency upgrades
    • Small enhancements
    • Monthly architecture review
    • Agreed engineering capacity
    Ask about Application Care

You agree the outcome. We own the delivery.

Every engagement runs on a Statement of Work that sets out scope, deliverables, milestones, acceptance criteria and price. Idabyte organises the team and is accountable for the result.

We work with the people who know your business to turn a need into clear requirements. Then we own the architecture, the engineering and the running service.

Selected work

Platforms our engineers have built, modernised and integrated for UK organisations.

Health & social care UK SaaS platform

From prototype to a live care platform

Challenge
A care-planning product for care homes had a working prototype, but it had to be secure, tested and dependable before it could hold real care records.
Our role
Took the prototype's .NET and Angular code to production on AWS: security hardening, automated tests and releases, monitoring and backups, then AI care notes on Amazon Bedrock.

Outcome: Live in care homes since 2024, and supported by Idabyte today.

  • .NET
  • Angular
  • AWS
  • Amazon Bedrock
