Software Development

Think of us as an extension of your team: senior engineers who take ownership from the first conversation to long after launch, using the same tools and practices we rely on in production every day.

Ways to work with us

Choose the arrangement that fits your project, your team and your budget.

Project delivery

Best for a defined product or system

We agree the scope, plan and milestones up front, then design, build and launch it for you.

Team extension

Best for adding capacity to your team

Our engineers join your team and work inside your processes, tools and priorities.

Support and evolution

Best for software already in use

We maintain, secure and improve your existing applications, so they keep up with your organisation.

How we work

A clear process, with working software early and often.

  1. Discover

    We start with the problem and the people who will use what we build, then agree goals, scope and priorities with you.

  2. Design

    We plan the architecture and design the experience, so decisions are made early, when they are cheapest to change.

  3. Build

    We work in short, visible steps with regular demos, so you see progress and can change direction early.

  4. Launch and run

    We test, deploy and hand over with documentation, then support and improve it, or host and run it for you on Cranelad Cloud.

Why Cranelad

Proven in production

The tools, architectures and practices we bring to your project are the ones we rely on in production every day.

AI throughout

AI is part of how we design, build, test and operate software, which makes us faster and more precise, and we build it into products where it creates real value.

Build and run

We can host, monitor and maintain what we build on Cranelad Cloud, so one team is accountable from code to production.

A long-term partner

We treat every engagement as a partnership: clear communication, honest advice and support long after launch.

Common questions

How much does a project cost?

It depends on what you need to build. After a first conversation about your goals, we give you a clear estimate and a proposed plan before any work starts.

How long does it take?

That depends on scope too. We agree a timeline with milestones at the start, and you see working software early and regularly rather than only at the end.

Can you work with our existing systems?

Yes. We regularly integrate with existing software, databases and third-party services, and we can extend or modernise systems you already have.

Can you host and maintain the software after launch?

Yes. We can run it for you on Cranelad Cloud, with deployments, monitoring, backups and security handled, or hand it over to your own team with documentation.

Do you use AI in your work?

Yes, throughout our engineering process, and in the products we build where it adds real value, such as search, summaries and automation.
