Software built around the way your business works.

We design and build bespoke software for small and medium-sized businesses in the East Midlands, set up to match the way you already work.

Where we can help

Some of the common reasons a business starts looking at bespoke software.

Running on spreadsheets

Important parts of the business are managed in spreadsheets or general tools that weren't made for the job.

Too much manual admin

Staff spend hours each week copying information between systems, chasing paperwork and doing jobs that could be automated.

Outgrown your tools

The software you started with worked when you were smaller, but it hasn't kept up as the business has grown.

Nothing quite fits

You've looked at off-the-shelf products, but none of them do everything you need without workarounds.

How we work

We handle every stage, from the first conversation to looking after the system once it's up and running.

  1. 01

    Scope

    We find out how your business works, talk to the people who'll use the system, and agree with you what it needs to do.

  2. 02

    Design

    We plan the screens and workflows with you, so you can see how it will work and ask for changes before we start building.

  3. 03

    Build

    We build the system in stages and show you each part as it is ready, so you can give feedback along the way.

  4. 04

    Support

    Once the system is in use, we look after it, fix any problems and add to it as your needs change.

Why work with us

You get software made for your business, and you deal with the same people from start to finish.

Made for your business

We build each system from scratch around how you work, so your team doesn't have to work around the software.

Based locally

We're an East Midlands business, working with clients in the region and across the UK.

The same people throughout

The people who plan and build your system are the same people who support it afterwards.

Any type of business

We work with businesses in all sorts of sectors. If there is a process involved, we can build software to support it.

Who we work with

We work with businesses of all sizes, from small teams to larger organisations, in sectors including:

  • Retail
  • Hospitality
  • Healthcare
  • Trades
  • Logistics
  • Professional services
  • Manufacturing

  • Codebrew Software: a self-managed studio website built on EmDash

    Codebrew Software Ltd, an independent games studio, needed a home for its games and studio news ahead of the Early Access launch of Sublight on Steam. Southmarsh Systems designed and built a fast, content-managed website on EmDash that the team can update themselves, with no developer needed for new games, news posts or media.
