Software built for the way your business actually works.

Willow is a small technology company. We build the internal tools, portals, and integrations that off-the-shelf products can't, and we run the IT underneath them.

What we build

We don't do apps for the app store or websites for the sake of a website. We do the software that runs a business from the inside.

Internal tools

The job board, the scheduling grid, the approvals queue. Whatever is currently a spreadsheet with seven tabs and one person who understands it.

Customer portals

A place your customers can log in to see orders, invoices, documents, and status, so your team stops answering the same email forty times a week.

Integrations

Your accounting package, your CRM, your inventory system, and the vendor's API that was documented in 2014. We make them agree with each other.

Rescues

Software someone built for you years ago that nobody can change anymore. We read it, document it, stabilise it, and then decide with you whether to keep it.

What it's made of

Boring on purpose. Every choice here has been around long enough that another developer can pick it up.

TypeScript
for everything we write
React
for the parts people click on
Node and Postgres
for the parts they don't see
Convex
when the app needs to update live
Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace
because you already use one of them
AWS or Azure
whichever your compliance requires

How a project runs

  1. Week 1

    We sit with the people who do the job today and write down what actually happens, not what the process document says.

  2. Week 2

    A clickable draft. Wrong in useful ways. You correct it and we adjust the scope and price before any real code exists.

  3. Weeks 3 to 8

    Building, with something new to try every Friday. Your team starts using it on real work before it's finished.

  4. After

    Handover: source code, hosting accounts, and a document your next developer could start from. Then support, if you want it.

The rest of what we do

Software doesn't live on its own. Most clients also have us run the IT it depends on, and ask us before buying the next system.

Managed IT

Laptops, accounts, network, backups, and security for a fixed monthly fee per person. The same engineers who wrote your software answer the phone.

Consulting

Build or buy, which vendor, how to migrate, who to hire. A written plan with a price next to each option. We take no commission from anyone we recommend.

Send us the spreadsheet. We'll tell you what it wants to be.

A one-hour call, then a written scope with a fixed price. No charge for either.
