Off-the-Shelf Software Will Turn You Into Everyone Else
You've built something your customers love. Now scale it without losing what makes you different—or drowning in spreadsheets.
You've Built Something Worth Protecting
You started your business because you saw a better way to do things. Your customers noticed—they love what you offer and how you deliver it. But success has brought a new problem: you're spending more time on admin than on the work that made you successful.
The Admin is Taking Over
The spreadsheets are multiplying. The paper trails are getting longer. You're copying data between systems that don't talk to each other. Your team is spending hours on tasks that feel like they should be automated, but aren't.
Off-the-Shelf Software Doesn't Quite Fit
You've looked at off-the-shelf software. Maybe you've even tried a few packages. But none of them quite fit. They're built for generic businesses doing generic things, and you're neither. Worse, you can see that adopting them would mean changing how you work—losing the processes and personal touches that your customers value.
There's Another Way
Software built specifically for how you work. Custom software that automates the tedious bits whilst preserving everything that makes you different. It handles your unique workflows, your specific processes, your way of doing business—so you can scale without selling out.
Who We Are
We're Blue Squirrel Software, based in Worcester. We build custom software for small, growing businesses that have something special worth protecting. No corporate waffle, no "digital transformation"—just software that lets you focus on what you're actually good at.
Custom Built Software Developed With Your Business Challenges In Mind
Our Software Services
Web Applications
Every online service you have ever used is a web application. Some examples include self-service/client portals, intranets, forums and online shops, and we build them.
CRM and ERP Systems
There is no shortage of Customer Relationship Management and Enterprise Resource Planning systems on the market, but what do you do when 'one-size-fits-all' doesn't fit?
Mobile Apps
Is it possible to get closer to your customers or staff than having an app that installs and runs on their smartphone, with direct access to your products and services?
Websites Development
Most business websites are built on some form of website builder, and for the vast majority, that's all they need. We help those who need more than just a template-based website.
API Development & Integration
Having to manually move data from one system to another?...APIs are the key that connects different software applications together.
Consultancy
Cutting through the jargon and helping you make informed decisions on the best way forward when it comes to your software and IT statutory.
Tried and Trusted Technologies
For those technically minded, these are the key technologies we will generally use on software projects.
How We Work
Embarking on custom software can seem daunting, but it isn't with us. We have a straightforward process to ensure that all our software projects deliver precisely the functionality you need, on time and within your budget.
