Built by people who run businesses, not just software.
Proper Platforms started inside a working installation business, where we automated our own quoting, scheduling and customer updates because nobody sold anything that fitted. We still run software of our own today. That means we know what a bad week looks like in a small business, and we know what the admin costs. When we sit down with you, we are not guessing at your process from the outside.

Questions we get asked
Do I need to be technical?
No. You need to know your business. We handle the rest.
Will this replace my staff?
No. It removes the admin they hate so they can do the work you pay them for, and it means the job doesn't walk out the door when someone leaves.
What does it cost?
Audit £750 fixed. Fixes from £1,500. Builds from £2,500 a month. You'll always have a fixed quote before we start.
Who owns what you build?
You do, on payment. Code, data and accounts are transferred to you. No lock-in.
Do you work with businesses outside Derbyshire?
Yes. We work on site across the Midlands and the North, and remotely with businesses anywhere in the UK.
Where does my data go?
We use UK and EU hosting where possible, we have a named data protection lead, and we'll sign a data processing agreement before touching customer data.
