Apps & automation

Williams and Horne IT builds custom software and business process automation for Northwich businesses, from focused web applications and Windows utilities to integrations that reduce repeated data entry.

Williams and Horne IT develops tools around a defined requirement, from an early prototype to a usable application. The starting point is the task, the people doing it and the systems the solution needs to work with.

What we can help with

Define the task. Agree the deliverables. Build around your requirements.

  • Web applications

    Build browser-based tools for collecting, organising, viewing or working with information, with features agreed around the intended users.

  • Windows utilities

    Develop focused desktop tools for file handling, local processes or tasks that benefit from an application on the computer.

  • Internal tools and dashboards

    Bring relevant information into one place and create interfaces for a defined business process or operational task.

  • Process integrations

    Reduce repetitive steps or connect systems through the interfaces they support, with appropriate checks on the results.

  • Prototypes

    Turn an idea into something usable enough to assess the workflow, test assumptions and decide what should be developed next.

  • Application improvements

    Investigate reproducible faults, improve a particular feature or extend a tool where the source and access are available.

What you receive

The deliverable may be a prototype, script, integration or working application. It is checked against the agreed tasks and supplied with relevant setup and usage instructions. Source-code access, ownership, deployment and maintenance arrangements are agreed as part of the project.

How the project works

Begin with the current process and the outcome you want. Identify essential features, representative inputs and the systems involved, then agree a manageable scope. Where useful, delivery can be divided into stages so the main workflow can be reviewed before more features are added.

Tell us what you need

Explain the task, who carries it out and what currently makes it difficult. Include the software involved and any requirement to run locally or in a browser.

Projects are quoted to scope and scheduled individually. Delivery is primarily remote, with on-site work by arrangement.

Your details will be emailed to Williams and Horne IT to review and respond to your enquiry.
