Real engagements — published with client sign-off.
Real platforms we shipped, with real clients. Each case study is the full engagement: the problem before, the architecture, what's live in production now, and what's still in build. Clients are named where they've given permission, and anonymised where they've asked us to. Either way the architecture and outcome are real.
2 published case studies so far.
Click through for the full engagement: the problem before, the architecture, what we delivered, what's live in production now, and what's still in build for phase 2. Client name is redacted at the client's request — everything else is real.
Auto spares — vehicle stripping & retail
Stock counts ten times faster with QR-labelled parts.
A bespoke .NET 8 + MariaDB app on AWS Lambda, built across 11 sequential work orders. Counter staff scan parts on arrival, customers self-register from the website, and the same codebase is now growing into the company's financial-management hub.
Funeral insurance — distribution
One self-service platform for 900+ agents — onboarding, comms, commission, payroll.
Replaced the spreadsheets and WhatsApp threads that ran a six-tier sales force with a single .NET 8 + React platform on Azure. Every agent has their own login. Onboarding, comms, commission and payroll all live on one audit trail.
Every other early SaaS puts made-up client logos on this page. We won't.
A case study is a promise — "this business got this result from us." The funeral insurance distribution write-up above is real, with the client's sign-off on the result bullets and a quote landing once the sponsor signs off the wording. Future engagements publish here the same way: real client, real architecture, real outcome — or we don't publish them at all. The Vantage product page shows the operations system working end-to-end, and the commercial model (a scoped five-week pilot with a named success outcome, contracted on day one) is how we put our own money behind the claim.
Every exception has a pattern. Let's find yours.
A 20-minute call is usually enough to know whether a pilot makes sense.
