Your business has outgrown the way it works. We build the system it needs next.

We fix the operational problem first, then build the technology around it — connecting what already works, replacing what does not, and using custom software, automation and practical AI to reduce admin, improve visibility and create a better experience for customers and teams.

Selected work

Real systems. Built around real workflows.

From care homes and nurseries to trades, automotive, fitness, golf and charities. We start with how the business needs to work, then design the software around it.

20 selected builds & integrations
Hemmings Operations Hub interface
Operations management

Hemmings Operations Hub

Problem: Leads, estimates, communications, quotes and jobs needed to move through one clear operational process instead of being chased across separate tools.

Built: An internal operations hub covering leads, estimates, customers, communications, pricing, quotes, job pipeline and schedule planning.

One priority work queue and a much clearer view of what needs attention next.

Sara's Day Nursery Hub interface
Childcare management

Sara's Day Nursery Hub

Problem: Day-to-day nursery management involved children, families, attendance, staff, permissions, finance and safeguarding actions that were difficult to keep visible together.

Built: A role-based nursery hub for children and families, attendance, daily care, staff tasks, communications, onboarding, permissions and operational alerts.

Important actions surface automatically instead of relying on somebody remembering to check.

Ashfields Care Hub interface
Care-home management

Ashfields Care Hub

Problem: A multi-home care operation needed a clearer way to manage enquiries, occupancy, room availability, visits, follow-ups and admissions.

Built: An end-to-end care management system with multi-home visibility, enquiry pipeline, occupancy, room status, follow-ups, residents, reporting and audit trails.

Management can see occupancy, opportunities and overdue actions across the operation from one place.

ServiceFlow Pro interface
Field-service CRM

ServiceFlow Pro

Problem: A trade and service workflow needed to connect enquiries, customers, jobs, assets, communication and invoicing without staff jumping between systems.

Built: A field-service CRM with leads and quotes, customers, jobs, service records, assets, job photos, communications, maps, costs and invoicing workflows.

The job record becomes the single operational source of truth from enquiry through to completion.

Custom 2D/3D Floor Planner interface
Planning & visualisation

Custom 2D/3D Floor Planner

Problem: Creating accurate room layouts can mean specialist desktop software, manual sketches or a process that is too technical for customers and non-specialist staff.

Built: A browser-based planning tool with room drawing, walls, doors and windows, a searchable furniture and symbol library, measurements, layers, 2D/3D views, photo import and export tools.

A complex planning workflow becomes an accessible custom tool that can be used directly in the browser without relying on specialist design software.

Mansfield Worktops Partner Portal interface
Partner & referral management

Mansfield Worktops Partner Portal

Problem: Partner referrals, approvals, rewards and follow-up were difficult to manage consistently as the referral programme grew.

Built: A branded partner portal for referrers, referral submissions, approvals, rewards, commission tracking, leaderboards, card requests, resources and reporting.

Partners get a professional experience while the team can manage the entire referral programme in one system.

SNG Group Portal interface
Student accommodation

SNG Group Portal

Problem: Leads, aftercare, marketing activity and room capacity across different student properties needed to be visible together.

Built: A property operations portal combining lead tracking, aftercare, marketing activity and live room-capacity management across multiple sites.

Teams can see availability and occupancy without piecing the picture together manually.

Quick MOT interface
Multi-site automotive booking

Quick MOT

Problem: Customers needed a quick booking journey across multiple MOT centres without each site having to manage the process manually.

Built: A six-step booking flow with vehicle lookup, centre and service selection, live date and time choice, customer details and central booking management.

A simple customer booking experience that can scale across multiple locations.

Buda Performance Care Portal interface
Performance care

Buda Performance Care Portal

Problem: Clients and practitioners needed coaching, resources and connected care services to feel like one joined-up experience.

Built: A branded performance-care admin and client system connecting client management, resources, PT Distinction delivery and wider practitioner tools.

The business can keep specialist tools where they add value without making the client experience feel fragmented.

Free working prototype

See it before we build it.

You should not have to commit thousands of pounds to a custom system based on a PDF and a promise. If your Systems X-Ray identifies a good opportunity, you can ask us to show you what the solution could actually look like first.

After a focused 15-minute call, we create a no-obligation working prototype with sample data, realistic screens and the core workflow. You can explore it, watch the walkthrough and decide whether you want us to turn it into the full production system.

The problem

Most businesses are running on software that was never built for them.

Most service businesses do not have a software problem. They have a workflow problem. The tools are disconnected, the team works around the gaps, and the business ends up bending around whatever the software allows.

FTOS Studio starts with the process first, then builds the system around it.

01

Disconnected tools

Important data scattered across platforms that do not talk to each other.

02

Manual admin

Hours lost to repetitive tasks that should already be handled by the system.

03

Duplicated work

The same information entered across multiple tools, forms and spreadsheets.

04

Missed leads

Enquiries fall through the cracks when there is no connected follow-up process.

05

Poor client/customer experience

Customers deal with too many links, portals, forms, logins and messages.

06

Too many subscriptions

Businesses pay for overlapping tools that each solve part of the problem.

07

Systems that do not scale

The setup works when the business is small, then becomes a bottleneck as it grows.

Why now

Why custom software is finally realistic for smaller businesses.

Custom software used to mean huge budgets, long timelines and enterprise-level development teams. AI-assisted development, modern build tools and vibe coding have changed the economics — but speed on its own is not enough for software a real business will rely on.

FTOS Studio combines that new development speed with the disciplines that still matter in production: process mapping, architecture, conventional coding where it is the right tool, permissions, governance, security, testing and ongoing support.

Traditional custom software

Slow

Why FTOS Studio is different

Modern development speed. Traditional engineering discipline.

AI has changed how quickly custom software can be designed and built. It has not changed the things that make software dependable once a real business starts relying on it.

We use modern AI-assisted development to remove unnecessary build time, then combine it with the parts of traditional software engineering that still matter: architecture, permissions, governance, security, testing and maintainability.

We use AI to remove development time — not engineering standards.

The goal is not to “vibe code” something quickly and hope it holds together. The goal is to use the new tools where they create leverage, while keeping proper control over the system that goes into production.

Built on Base44 where appropriate

Enterprise-grade security underneath the build.

ISO 27001

Certified information security management

SOC 2 Type II

Independently audited security controls

GDPR

EU data-protection controls and DPA availability

Encryption

AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit

Built-in security scans and AI-assisted fixes
Row-level security and encrypted secrets available at platform level
View Base44's security overview
Application-level controls

The platform is the foundation. We still design the app securely.

A certified platform does not remove the need to make sensible decisions inside each application. The data, users, integrations and regulatory context still have to be considered project by project.

Role-based and least-privilege access
Row-level data permissions where required
Data minimisation and purpose-led storage
Encrypted secrets and controlled integrations
Security scanning and workflow testing
Clear admin, staff and customer boundaries

Base44's ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II status applies to Base44's platform and control environment; it is not a blanket certification of every individual custom application. Where a project handles more sensitive or regulated data, infrastructure, data residency and access requirements are reviewed during scoping.

Industries we can help

Custom systems for service businesses with messy operations.

FTOS Studio is not limited to fitness. We build practical custom systems for service businesses that rely on repeatable workflows, client or customer communication, bookings, reporting, payments, staff tasks, admin processes or internal operations.

Fitness businesses

The problem

Coaches often use one tool for training, another for check-ins, another for payments, another for resources and another for communication.

What FTOS Studio could build

Custom coaching portals, client dashboards, check-in systems, programme delivery, AI-supported client summaries, onboarding workflows and reporting tools.

PortalAIDashboard
What we can build

Apps, portals, dashboards and workflows built around your process.

FTOS Studio can build the front-end experience, backend admin tools, workflow systems and AI support your business needs. The goal is not to add more software. It is to create a connected system that removes friction.

Examples: client app, team app, service app, mobile portal.

Client & customer portals

AI, automation & agents

AI that does useful work, not just answer questions.

The goal is not to bolt AI onto your business for the sake of it. The goal is to make the system faster, clearer and more useful for the people actually using it day to day.

FTOS Studio builds AI tools and agents that connect directly to your business data — leads, clients, jobs, tasks, bookings and reports — so they do actual work, not generic text generation.

AI Agent

Connected to your system data

Active

Show me leads that haven't had a follow-up this week.

14 leads found with no follow-up. 6 from the web form, 5 from the application funnel, 3 from direct enquiry. 4 have been waiting more than 3 days. Want me to draft follow-ups for those 4?

Yes — draft the messages and create a task for each.

Done. 4 follow-up drafts created and tasks added to your queue, each linked to the lead record. Review them in the Lead inbox when you're ready.

Ask anything about your business data…

Lead generation

Qualify enquiries, route leads, summarise forms and trigger follow-up sequences automatically.

Marketing

Generate content ideas, plan campaigns and support blog and social media workflows.

Sales

Score leads, summarise calls, prepare proposal notes and remind the team to follow up.

Customer support

Answer common questions using business-specific FAQs, policies and service information.

Internal team support

Help staff find customer records, task status, SOPs and what needs doing next.

Summarise work, process documents, create handover notes and trigger workflow actions.

Fitness and coaching

Summarise check-ins, flag clients needing attention and support programme creation.

Service-business admin

Websites, SEO & AEO

Not just software. The front end of the business can be built too.

FTOS Studio can build the website, landing pages and application funnels that sit in front of your custom system, so leads, enquiries and content connect properly with the backend.

A website should not just look good. It should capture leads, answer buyer questions, connect to your CRM and support the system behind it.

What is AEO?

Answer Engine Optimisation means structuring your content so AI search tools and answer engines can understand, cite and recommend your business more easily.

Integrations

Keep what works. Connect what matters.

Custom software does not always mean replacing everything. FTOS Studio can connect with the systems you already use where the platform allows it, helping your new system fit around the tools that still work.

Payments
Bookings
CRM tools
Accounting systems
Email platforms
Calendars
Forms
Membership platforms
Access/entry systems
Existing websites
Automation tools
Third-party APIs

Worth knowing

Integrations depend on whether the third-party system provides suitable access, APIs, webhooks or export/import options. Anything complex is reviewed during the audit and may require additional scope.

Why custom wins

Stop renting someone else's idea of how your business should run.

Off-the-shelf software can be useful, but it usually forces your business into someone else's workflow. FTOS Studio starts with your process, then builds the system around it.

Concierge support

More than hosting and maintenance.

Concierge is the ongoing technical partner layer behind your system. It is not just keeping the platform live. It means support, maintenance, updates, usage monitoring and help evolving the system as your business changes.

Instead of paying for five disconnected tools that may never properly fit, Concierge keeps your custom system supported and adaptable.
