Solutions

Start from the problem

Most people know what is going wrong before they know what to call it. These are the situations we are asked about most, and where each one actually leads.

  • The platform answers this

    We need to be online and we do not have a website

    Start from a template written for your trade, replace the words and pictures, and publish. This is the cheapest and fastest answer, and for most businesses it is also the right one — a custom build would take months and cost a great deal more for the same result.

    We want to start selling online

    Selling is a switch on a Midcrowd website, not a different product. Add products, take card payments into an account in your own name, and manage orders and customers in the same dashboard. Nothing about your site changes except that a Shop appears.

  • This is a custom project

    Our website has outgrown the platform it is on

    When the thing you need cannot be expressed in a template — a pricing rule, a logged-in area, a connection to your back office — a custom build is the answer rather than another plugin. We look at what you have first and tell you if moving is genuinely warranted.

    The same information is typed into two systems

    This is usually the cheapest project on the list and the one that pays back fastest. We connect the two systems, or build the API one of them is missing, and the copying stops.

    We answer the same customer questions all day

    An AI agent built on your own documentation answers the repeats, cites where the answer came from, and hands over to a person when it does not know. It reduces the volume; it does not replace the person.

    Someone reads documents and retypes what is in them

    Invoices, delivery notes, forms and scans go into a workflow that returns structured data into your system, flagging the ones it is not sure about for a person instead of filing them quietly.

    We have an idea and need a first version to show

    The hard part of an MVP is deciding what to leave out. We help cut the list down to a first release that is narrow enough to launch and complete enough that somebody will pay for it or invest in it.

    The business runs on a spreadsheet nobody dares change

    Bookings, stock, jobs, quotes, approvals — the system your company actually runs on, with roles, a record of who changed what, and reporting that comes from the source rather than from a copy.

    Clients email us for things they could look up

    A portal where each client signs in and sees their own orders, documents, invoices and progress. It is usually a smaller project than it sounds, and it removes a recurring cost rather than adding a feature.

    Our people work away from a desk

    A mobile app for the job in hand — capture on site, works offline, syncs when there is signal — connected to the same system the office uses.

    We are about to commit a budget and want a second opinion

    A technical review of what is proposed, or of a system you are inheriting or buying — what it can carry, what it will cost to keep, and what would have to change. Often the cheapest thing you buy all year.

None of these is quite it?

Describe the situation in your own words. If it is not something we should take on, we will say so — and usually point you at whatever would be cheaper.
