A clearer way to run your business

Have you outgrown your spreadsheet?

When quotes, jobs and stock depend on copying, chasing and knowing which file is right, it’s time to look at a better business system.

One record. The right information for everyone who needs it.

No technical brief. No obligation. Speak to the people who build it.

01 / Recognise the problem

Is the spreadsheet doing too much?

Spreadsheets are brilliant. The trouble starts when several people use one to run live work, with phone calls, paper and email filling the gaps.

Tick the ones you recognise. It’s a starting point for a conversation.

Things that happen in your business

Recognise two or more? That’s worth a closer look.

02 / Picture the difference

A business system that carries the work forward.

We build office systems, field apps and customer portals. The same checked information follows the job, with useful views for your team and your customers.

01 / QUOTES & JOBS

Agreed once. Ready for the team.

Customer details, quantities and instructions flow from quote to job to invoice. Everyone can see what’s waiting for approval.

Less retyping. Clearer handovers.
02 / STOCK, HIRE & ORDERS

Know what you can promise.

See what’s on the shelf, reserved, out or damaged before you confirm an order or book the same item twice.

One view of availability.
03 / COLLECTIONS & SITE WORK

Record the work where it happens.

Use a phone or tablet on site. Where offline working is needed, records stay on the device until the server confirms a successful sync.

The original record reaches the office.
04 / CUSTOMER PORTALS

Keep customers in the picture.

Let customers check their own orders, bookings and documents without ringing the office for every update.

Answers they can find themselves.

A system built to last

Built in 2005. Still used every day.

A Sussex sign maker still uses the quote, job sheet and invoice system we built in 2005. A practical example of software shaped around the work.

Put a number on the repeated work

Ten minutes can become five hours a week.

Ten minutes, thirty times a week. Try your own figures for one repeated task, then start with the problem that takes the most time.

5 hoursspent on this task each week

This estimates time spent, not a promise of time saved. Checking, exceptions and correction work still count.

03 / Start with one process

Bring the spreadsheet that causes the trouble.

The free check is a fifteen-minute conversation about what it manages, who uses it and what goes wrong. You don’t need a technical brief or to send us your files.

A few sensible questions

Before you make a change.

Download the plain-English guide
Do we have to replace everything?

Usually not. Software that already does its job can stay. We confirm that a connection is possible before we promise it, and start with the part causing the most trouble.

What does a new business system cost?

The free check helps identify what to look at first. Any further assessment or build is scoped and priced separately, in writing, before work starts. We include setup, data transfer, training, hosting and support so you can compare the whole cost.

Who owns the system?

You receive the source code, documentation and a proper handover. Ongoing support is optional, and another engineer can support it. Inferred does not charge per-seat licence fees for the systems we build; third-party software and hosting costs are agreed separately.

How do we switch over?

We agree a changeover plan, check the data and train the team. Real-world testing includes changed orders, mistakes and missing information, with a clear way back if something needs correcting.

What if a ready-made product is enough?

We’ll say so. A clearer process, some training or a standard product may be the best answer. Bespoke software earns its place when your rules or handovers keep forcing people back to manual work.

Does it have to use AI?

No. Quotes, job tracking, stock and customer portals can be built with ordinary software. AI is an option where a specific task justifies it, not a requirement for a new business system.
