Independent software company

We build software for records that have to hold up.

Companies have to keep documents for years and produce them when someone asks. We make the systems that file them, sort them, and find them again.

Get in touch

01 / What we build

The records you have to keep, in one place you can search.

Two kinds of system we build.

01

Kind of system

An archive that sorts itself

Documents arrive, we file and tag them, and you can find them years later.

02

Kind of system

A record of who approved what

You can see the decision next to the document it belongs to.
