Bespoke Software Development

We develop software according to your needs. This might be:

• a full custom business system/database (for example with elements of ERP, MRP and CRM functionality as needed)
• a simple utility for a specific task - perhaps an aid to data analysis or an integration tool
• a library for use in your own software
• adoption of open source projects that may no longer be maintained by their original authors - we currently maintain pyStrich

We have experience developing software (including web applications), using a variety of technologies such as Python, R, modern JavaScript (including frameworks such as Vue.js) and PHP.

Quality and Systems Consultancy

We have considerable experience design, implementing and operating quality systems and other management systems. We can help you maintain and improve your existing systems or implement entirely new systems with you. Our extensive knowledge of these systems, combined with our software development expertise, makes us the ideal partner to help you streamline your business and achieve your goals. One of our key focuses is to help reduce the burden of running management systems effectively. At the core of all of our systems consultancy is that they must be at the heart of your business, clearly adding value, not something that is someone else’s responsibility.

This includes management systems conformant to ISO 9001 and AS 9100. Our experience also extends to systems for managing special processes and the associated accreditation schemes such as Nadcap.

Marketing and Communication

We know how difficult it can be to market your business to a technical audience. Many companies have their marketing handled by non-specialised marketing/PR companies. However often it is clear that these marketing materials are not written by someone who understands the subject matter. To build a relationship with potential customers as a trusted advisor, you need to have credible marketing material for your target audience.

In addition to our technical communication and copywriting services, we can offer website design and development, including Google Analytics and Google AdWords management.

We specialise in marketing for aerospace manufacturing companies and marketing for laboratories.

Data Analysis

Method B Ltd can help you to understand your data. It is now common for companies to collect large volumes on data, however much of this data is not used to its full potential. SMEs often do not have the skills in-house to make the most of their data, but Big Data doesn’t just have to be for big companies.

We can help you to:

• build models to help you predict and classify
• take control of your processes
• clean and sanitise your data to make it easier to process your own data
• find trends and insights

Once models and/or analyses are validated, we can help to build them into your business processes for maximum long-term value. We can build you software utilities or spreadsheets, as appropriate, so that your own staff can carry on gaining the benefit of the work that we have done together.
