Software
Custom Software Development
Bespoke software that fits your operation, from a single automation tool to a fully integrated enterprise application.
Capabilities
What we build
Automation tools
Software that takes over repetitive steps and runs them the same way every time.
Internal dashboards
A single view of the figures and statuses your teams check throughout the day.
APIs and integrations
Clean interfaces between your systems and the third-party services you rely on.
Web applications
Secure browser-based applications for staff, partners or clients.
Enterprise applications
Larger systems that bring several processes and data sources together under one application.
Beyond trading
Any type of software your business needs
Our roots are in trading technology, but our engineering is not limited to it. The same discipline that keeps a trade server stable applies to an internal tool, a customer-facing application or an integration between business systems.
If your firm needs software that does not exist off the shelf, we can scope it, build it and look after it, whatever part of the business it serves.
Engagement models
Choose how we work together
Fixed-scope project
A defined deliverable with an agreed specification. Best when requirements are clear from the start.
Dedicated development
Our engineers working as an extension of your team on a continuing roadmap.
Ongoing support and enhancement
Maintenance, fixes and improvements to software already in use, whoever originally built it.
Process
From idea to working software
- Step 1
Discover
We understand the problem, the users and the systems involved, and agree what success looks like.
- Step 2
Specify
We write a specification you can review line by line before any development starts.
- Step 3
Build
We develop in short iterations and demonstrate progress regularly.
- Step 4
Test and deploy
We test thoroughly on a staging environment and deploy with a rollback plan.
- Step 5
Support
We keep the software running, secure and up to date as your needs change.
FAQ
Custom software: common questions
Do you only build software for brokers?
No. Financial services is where our experience runs deepest, but we build software for any business need where our engineering is a good fit.
Which technologies do you use?
We choose the technology to suit the job and your existing systems. For performance-critical trading components our in-house team works in C++.
How is a project priced?
Fixed-scope projects are quoted against the agreed specification. Dedicated development and ongoing support are agreed on a time basis. Ask us for a quote and we will explain the options.
Can you take over software another company built?
Yes. We review the code and documentation first and give you an honest view of its condition before committing to support it.
