We don't chase technology for the sake of it. We start with the problem.
Most of the platforms on this page started the same way: a team buried in spreadsheets, paper forms or a handful of systems that don't talk to each other. We sit down with the people doing the work, map how things really happen, then design and build software that fits.
Everything is built in-house by our developers and UX designers, hosted securely, and supported long after launch. Where AI genuinely helps, we use it. Where it doesn't, we leave it out.
Custom CRM development
CRMs built around your business
Off-the-shelf CRMs ask you to change how you work to fit the software. Ours work the other way round. We map your processes first, then build a CRM that does exactly what your team needs, with nothing you'll never use and no per-seat licence creep.
Membership organisation
Scottish Care
Scottish Care represents around 1,000 members across 400+ independent care services. Alongside their new members' website, we built a bespoke Member CRM that gives the Scottish Care team, Independent Sector Leads and Branch Chairs one central hub for managing member relationships, with real-time member information, key statistics, logged emails, survey results and finance data in one place.
Facilities & property services
Instant Impact Group
What started as a brand workshop grew into a new website, video and a bespoke CRM. The CRM runs Instant Impact Group's operation end to end: customer work requests come in through their own portal, jobs are quoted, approved and scheduled, and engineers record site visits with photos from the field. Customers only ever see their own sites and jobs.
Geco Connect
Changing residential care, making every voice heard.
Geco Connect brings care records, safeguarding, outcomes, the voice of the child and AI-assisted reporting into one secure platform. It gives frontline teams in residential care and specialist education a clearer view of every child, and gives them back time spent on repeated admin.
Built by The Solutions on Demand Group, with Creo's development team at its core, through a Knowledge Transfer Partnership with the University of Strathclyde. It is designed around Scotland's national frameworks, GIRFEC and SHANARRI.

5G Innovation Region, Ayrshire
Helping Ayrshire businesses go digital

Manufacturing
Scotseats
CRM and order processing system
A bespoke CRM that follows every order from quote to delivery. Jobs move through each production department with clear sign-offs, so the team always knows where an order is, who is working on it, and what's holding it up. Quotes, clients, credit holds and accounts all live in one secure system.

- Department sign-offs and issue flagging
- Accounts controls and credit holds
Engineering & field services
H&V Commissioning

- Offline-first, with photo and video evidence
- QR asset labels and live fleet tracking
