A backend for a product.
Build services for a new app or website, or improve the backend behind an existing interface.
Backend & integrations
Connect your product with the systems behind it.
We develop the APIs, data structures and business logic that support apps and websites. We also improve existing backend services and connect them with the tools your business uses.

Where we can help
Bring the interfaces, data and operations together.
Shared data and administration.
Connect mobile, web and office tools around the information and permissions each user needs.
Business integrations.
Link the product with external payment, messaging or business systems where the available interfaces support it.
Development scope
What the work can include.
APIs and application services.
Define and develop interfaces between frontend applications, backend services and external systems.
Data structures and flows.
Plan database models, validation, storage and movement between services.
Administration and permissions.
Develop tools for managing users, content and business records with agreed access rules.
Third-party integrations.
Assess available APIs and implement the agreed data exchange or service connections.
Deployment and operating arrangements.
Prepare environments and release configuration, with monitoring or backup arrangements where included.
Deliverables & handover
Services and interfaces your product can use.
We agree how the backend will connect to other systems and how it will be deployed, accessed and maintained.
Backend implementation.
Agreed services, source code and database structures.
Interfaces and management.
API documentation, integration code or administration tools where included.
Operating materials.
Environment configuration, access arrangements and documentation for the agreed deployment and maintenance tasks.
System design decisions
Define the rules behind each connection.
An API connects systems, but the business still needs clear rules for ownership, access and exceptions.
Technical approach
Fit the architecture to the work.
Backend technologies, databases and infrastructure are selected around the business rules, integrations, expected use and maintenance requirements. Existing systems and available interfaces are reviewed before choosing what to build or change.
How will we work together?
See how we review progress, handle feedback and changes, and plan release and handover.
An applied example
Connect customer requests and team job records.
Explore data ownership, role-based access and failed updates when booking tools, calendars and existing business systems work together.
Before you decide
Make the next decision with more clarity.
What shapes a software project's cost and timeline?
A list of screens is a starting point. A useful estimate also needs the behaviour, data, dependencies and delivery work behind those screens.
Should you maintain, refactor or rebuild your existing software?
An older product does not automatically need replacing. Start by separating the business problem from assumptions about the technology.
Practical questions
APIs, existing software & permissions
Can you build a backend for an existing app or website?
Yes, subject to reviewing its interfaces and the work needed to connect it. The scope defines how the current product will use the new or updated services.
Can you connect to our existing business software?
We first review its APIs, documentation, access conditions and any licensing requirements. These determine which connections are practical and whether other changes are needed.
Can different users have different permissions?
Yes. Roles and access rules can be planned around your users and business workflows, with the agreed rules implemented and tested as part of the scope.
Let’s start a conversation
Which systems need to work together?
Describe the information that moves between your tools and where the handover is difficult today.
