Software built around how your business works.

Realm designs and builds custom systems, websites, mobile apps and integrations, then supports them after launch. The team that scopes the work writes the code.

Software that fits the business, rather than a business that bends around its software.

Off-the-shelf products suit processes that work the same way everywhere. When yours don't, teams end up with workarounds, spreadsheets and systems that don't talk to each other.

Realm builds the software a business needs where products fall short: custom systems, websites and platforms, mobile apps, integrations and AI features. The same team scopes it, builds it and supports it after launch.

How we build software

Every software project at Realm runs through the same four stages. The sub-pages describe what each stage involves for that kind of work.

  1. Step 1: Discovery and architecture

    We agree what the software has to do, who will use it and which systems it must work with, then design an architecture that fits the load, the security needs and the budget.

  2. Step 2: Design

    We design the interface around the people who will use it, and test it with them before development starts.

  3. Step 3: Build and test

    We build in short cycles with regular demos, test as we go and connect the software to the systems you already run.

  4. Step 4: Support and iteration

    After launch we monitor, maintain and keep improving the software as the business changes.

Software FAQs

Can you work with our existing systems?

Yes. Most of the software we build has to connect to systems a business already runs, such as CRM, ERP, HR and payment platforms, so we map those first.

Can you take over software another team built?

In most cases. We start with a review of the code and infrastructure, then agree what to fix first and how it will be supported.

How do you price software projects?

Cost follows scope: the features, the integrations and the number of users. We scope it during discovery so the estimate reflects what you need.

Do you support what you build?

Yes. Support and iteration is the fourth stage of every project, and the team that built the software is the team that supports it.
