Solve With Software is a team of professional full-stack software engineers. We have been building, supporting and rescuing business systems since 2012, and together we have more than 70 years of experience. We take over stranded systems, whatever year they were built, and modernise them without losing your data and without stopping your business.
Engineers first, AI under control
Founder Marc Allington is a full-stack developer and solution architect. We design the architecture, write the code, migrate the data and support what we build.
We use AI generative coding throughout the modernisation process, strictly under our control. Experienced engineers set the architecture and standards, direct the AI and review everything it produces. This lets us analyse and document old systems faster, rebuild them more thoroughly and test more widely than a traditional rewrite allows. You get higher quality at a lower cost, without handing your business system to an unsupervised tool.
Legacy and New Guard
Because we've worked across decades of technology, we can pick up both ends of the spectrum:
- Legacy: Visual Basic 6, Microsoft Access, Delphi, FoxPro, WinForms, Classic ASP, ASP.NET Web Forms, ColdFusion, SQL Server 2000–2016, Crystal Reports and SSRS.
- Modern stacks: ASP.NET Core, React, Angular, Node.js, Java, PHP/Laravel, React Native and native iOS/Android.
- New Guard: apps built with AI and low-code tools such as Lovable, Replit, Bolt, v0, Base44, Bubble and Power Apps. These are often good prototypes, but they need real engineering before a business can rely on them.
What we do
- Assessment: an in-depth system analysis from £395 + VAT, refundable if it gives you no new insights
- Staged modernisation: phased replacement with payments tied to deliverables
- Full-stack architecture and design
- Data migration and reconciliation
- AI features added to existing systems: reading invoices and orders, drafting quotes, answering questions from your data. Usually no rewrite is needed.
- Stabilisation, support and ongoing development
Who we work with
UK SMEs in transport and logistics, manufacturing and engineering, construction and property, wholesale and distribution, field services and professional services.
