Hosting, monitoring, updates and support from £500/mo
A CRM, a job board, a chat app, a booking tool, a help desk, and a spreadsheet for whatever none of them cover. None of them talk to each other, so the same customer ends up in four places and automations fail without anyone noticing.
One login and one set of data for the work your team does every day. A letting agent sees properties and inspections. A haulier sees jobs and vehicle checks. It is designed around what your business actually does.
One fixed monthly fee covers hosting, monitoring, security updates and support, with a set amount of improvement time each month. The code is yours if you ever decide to move on. When the business grows, the system gets a new section rather than another subscription.
Before building one for anyone else, we built our own. Spindle used to run on nine separate tools. Now the whole studio runs on one system we built and host ourselves.
What it replaced
Tasks
This week
Olaf has spent nine years building software for businesses, from accounting tools, trading platforms and law firm automation to AI agents, across web, mobile and desktop. Spindle is the studio he set up to build systems around how a business actually works, rather than making it bend around off-the-shelf apps.
The person on your first call is the person who designs and builds your system. No account managers and no hand-offs, so nothing gets lost between what you asked for and what gets built.

We release it in versions. The first one replaces whatever is causing the most trouble, and later ones follow what the business needs.
A short paid discovery phase with the people who do the work, with the fee taken off the build if you go ahead. We map how the business runs, list every app and spreadsheet involved, and agree a fixed price for the first version.
We show you working versions as it takes shape, while the old tools carry on as normal. You can steer it before anything is final.
Once your team prefers the new system, the old subscriptions end one at a time. From here we host it, watch it for errors and keep it secure.
Small improvements are covered by your monthly fee. Bigger changes get their own fixed price before any work starts. You can ask for either from your portal.
Every client gets a portal with project progress, written updates, support requests, contracts and invoices in one place.

Most things a business runs on: bookings, jobs, case files, stock, rotas, quotes, client portals, email campaigns, reporting, internal chat and AI agents. If your team does it every day, it can probably live in the system.
Projects start from £10k. Your first version gets a fixed price based on what it needs to do, agreed before the build starts. It starts with a free call, then a short paid discovery phase whose fee comes off the build price if you go ahead. After launch, hosting, monitoring, security updates and support are a fixed monthly fee, from £500 for smaller systems. The fee depends on how big the system is and how many people use it, and if your needs grow and the fee has to change, we agree the new amount with you first. Bigger changes get their own fixed price, so you always know the cost before you commit.
The system changes with it. A new location, service or team gets a new section in the same system, rather than another subscription.
No. Accounts, payroll and tax stay in software built for HMRC rules, like Xero or QuickBooks. If connecting the two would save your team time later on, we can look at it then.
Up front, yes. But per-seat pricing grows with every hire and every new tool. As a rough example, a 15-person team paying £1,200 a month across seven apps spends £14,400 a year on subscriptions. Swap those for a system on a £500 monthly fee and that is about £8,400 a year back, which is the number to weigh the build price against.
No. We start with whatever costs or hurts the most and run it alongside the old tool until your team is happy to switch. Some tools are worth keeping, and we will tell you which.
You do. The system is built for you and the code is yours to keep. While you are with us, we host and run it for one fixed monthly fee, which is how we watch it for errors and keep it secure. If you decide to move on, you leave with the full code as it stands on the day you go, including every library it depends on and everything it needs to run, plus documentation for whoever picks it up. We will help hand it over to a new developer, another studio or your own team. The only things that stop are the ones we provide: hosting, monitoring and updates.
You would get the same handover as anyone who chooses to leave: the full code, including every library it depends on, pinned in the repository, plus documentation for the next developer. It is built on mainstream technology (TypeScript, React, Node and PostgreSQL), so any competent developer or studio can pick it up and keep it running.
A few lines about how things work today is plenty. We will take it from there.
