Care sector
Everything your service has to prove, in one place.
Staff records, training, supervision, incidents, policies and the evidence behind all of it. Reminders arrive before anything expires, and the inspection pack takes one click instead of one afternoon.
Direct to the developer
You brief the person who writes the code. No account manager in between.
Fixed written price
Scope and cost agreed in writing before any work begins. No hourly drift.
You own everything
Code, hosting and data in your name from day one. No lock-in, ever.

What it does for your team
Before any of the regulatory detail.
Nothing slips
Training, DBS, supervision and reviews all chase themselves. You hear about an expiry weeks before it happens, not weeks after.
Evidence in one click
When someone asks for proof, you produce it while they wait, instead of losing half a day to a filing cabinet.
Staff will actually use it
Simple enough for a support worker on shift, detailed enough for the registered manager. A tool people avoid saves nobody anything.
Built to the standards you are judged against
I am an independent developer. I am not affiliated with, endorsed by or acting on behalf of any regulator named here.
The problem with generic care software
Walk into most registered services and the setup looks similar. A rostering system that handles shifts. Often a care planning system. A shared drive with policies on it. And in between, a growing pile of spreadsheets holding what neither system covers: who is overdue supervision, which training has lapsed, what evidence supports which standard.
That spreadsheet layer is where inspections get uncomfortable. Not because the care is poor, but because the evidence of good care is scattered across four places and one person's memory.
What I build for care providers
Supervision and appraisal tracking
Who is due, who is overdue, who signed off and when. A system that flags the gap before it becomes a finding is worth considerably more than one that records it afterwards.
Training and competency matrices
A live matrix of who is trained in what, what expires when, and which shifts you cannot safely cover as a result. Exportable, so it stops being a rebuild job every time someone asks.
Incidents and safeguarding
Capture concerns with the actions, notifications and audit trail attached, so the record of what happened next is part of the record of what happened.
Policies and document control
Version-controlled policies with review dates and a single library, so the copy people are reading is the copy you think they are reading.
Inspection evidence packs
The evidence pulled together into something you can hand over, rather than assembled by hand the week before a visit.
Worth saying plainly: software does not make a service compliant. Good care does. What a well-built system does is make the evidence of that care easy to find, hard to lose and quick to produce on request.
Why sector knowledge changes the price
A general developer quoting for care software has to price in learning the domain. You pay for the hours where they work out what a quality statement is, why supervision frequency varies by role, and why an audit trail is not a last-modified date.
I have built this already, so the first conversation starts at your problem rather than at the beginning of your industry.

How we work
Three steps, no surprises in between
Every project runs the same way, whether it is a full platform or an afternoon of changes.
Free scoping call
Thirty minutes. You tell me what you are trying to fix, open or win, and I tell you honestly whether I am the right person for it.
Written proposal, fixed price
Scope, what you get, timeline and a fixed price in writing before any work starts. No hourly drift and no surprise invoices.
Build, then handover
You get a link and regular updates as it comes together, then a walkthrough so your team can run it without me.
Questions
Care software questions
Can software actually help with an inspection?
It cannot pass one for you, and anyone selling it that way is overpromising. What it does is make your evidence findable. When an inspector asks who is overdue supervision, or to see the audit trail on a policy, the difference between a good day and a bad one is usually whether you answer in seconds or spend an afternoon looking.
We already use a care management system. Can you work alongside it?
Usually yes. Most providers have a rostering or care planning system that does its job, and a set of gaps around it filled by spreadsheets. I build for the gaps, and integrate with what you have where there is an API to integrate with.
Is our data safe, and who owns it?
You own it. Systems I build use row-level security so staff only see what their role permits, data stays in UK or EU regions, and you hold the hosting and database accounts in your own name. I can be removed from access at any time without the system stopping.
Do you understand supervision and Regulation 18?
Yes. I have built supervision and appraisal tracking against Regulation 18, including competency matrices, overdue flagging and the audit trail that makes a record defensible rather than merely present.
We are a small service. Is custom software overkill?
Sometimes, and I will say so. If an off-the-shelf product genuinely covers you, buying it is cheaper than commissioning a build. Custom makes sense when your process is unusual, when you are paying staff to rekey data between systems, or when the tool you are sold assumes a residential home and you are not one.

I will tell you honestly whether custom software is the right answer, or whether something off the shelf would serve you better and cheaper.
