SoTech

A product studio for specialised industries.

Rooted in geotech. Open to adjacent industries. Small and senior by design, shipping real software into specialist fields.

01 · Services

Nine services, grouped three ways.

Build something new, improve what you already have, or look after the software you rely on.

Build something new

Launch a new online product

We design and build new online software products from scratch, for specialised industries that have not been served properly.

Build custom software for your business

Internal tools and operational systems built around the way your team actually works, rather than forcing your team to fit someone else's product.

Build a mobile app

iPhone and Android software for teams working on site, in the ground, or out in the world.

Improve what you've got

Connect hardware to software

Sensors, devices, and equipment that need software to talk to. Or software that needs to talk to equipment in the field.

Add AI to existing software

AI features built into the software your team already uses. Useful, not decorative.

Replace outdated software

The software running your business was built years ago. It still works, but it is holding you back. We rebuild it properly.

Connect, design and maintain

Integrate your systems

When your tools should talk to each other but do not, and the manual work in the gaps has become a tax on your team.

Design your product

Interface and user-experience design for technical software. Dashboards, data tools, field apps.

Look after your live software

For software that is stalled, inherited, or drifting. And for teams who want a senior partner to keep theirs working and improving.

04 · When to work with us

Some situations we’re right for.

  • You're building software for a specialised industry and off-the-shelf tools do not fit.
  • You're replacing software that has been running for ten or fifteen years.
  • You have deep industry expertise but no software team of your own.
  • You want a senior partner to embed, not a vendor to manage.
  • You've got an AI-built prototype you want taken further.
  • You're commissioning something new and want it built properly first time.

05 · Studio

Small and senior by design. Rooted in the geotechnical industry. Based in Northamptonshire, remote-first. The people you meet are the people doing the work.
