Independent software studio · UK, working nationally

Bespoke software, built for how your business actually runs.

Not an off-the-shelf tool. We scope your process with you, build the software that fits it, and wire it into what you already run — Sage, spreadsheets, whatever's holding things together now.

This is the live build of Neon Plant & Tool Hire, a real system we're putting together. New modules are still being added, so some parts are further along than others.

One story. Every system.

See it running, not described.

Below is Neon Plant & Tool Hire — a plant and tool hire business we built end to end. Left is what the customer does. Right is what's happening underneath at the same moment. Hover or tap a point to look closer, and follow the trace across to see how the two sides connect.

Customer journeySystems layer
Customer journey · browse & availability

Browse the fleet, see real availability

Live stock against live bookings — the customer only ever sees what can actually be hired for their dates.

This becomes a live, playable simulation once Phase 2 ships. You'll run this exact moment yourself, not just watch it.
Systems layer · stock & overlap logic

Every enquiry checked before a date is offered

Current hires, reservations and service windows all resolved against each other — no double-booking, no offering kit that's due a service mid-hire.

Ordered in a couple of taps

Guided checkout — dates, delivery or collection, done. Least friction between wanting the kit and booking it.

ROI REMAINING NEXT SERVICE · 240 HRS
Systems layer · maintenance & ROI clock

Every hire day pays the machine off

Each asset carries its own ROI countdown and service schedule — the system knows when this machine pays for itself and when it's next due a spanner.
