We build small, bespoke tools for the repetitive work that eats into your week, shaped around how you already work.
Before: busywork like re-keying orders, chasing replies and weekly reports takes up a large part of every day.
Big software often tries to do everything, then asks you to change how you work to fit it. We start from how you already work.
Off-the-shelf suites: Often hundreds of features you’ll never use
Avellane: Only what the job needs
Off-the-shelf suites: Often weeks of setup and training
Avellane: Quick to pick up, with help getting started
Off-the-shelf suites: Your process bent to fit the software
Avellane: Software shaped around your process
Simple software built around a job your team does again and again. It cuts down the spreadsheet juggling, the copy-paste and the checking by eye.
For example
We connect the systems you already use, so the same details don’t need typing in twice.
Sorting, drafting and summarising, shaped to the job in hand. If AI isn’t the right answer for your problem, we’ll say so.
No big reveal at the end. You see it working early, and help shape it as it’s built.
We start by understanding how the job gets done today, and check with you that we’ve got it right.
Early on, you get a working version to try, so you can tell us what’s wrong before it’s finished.
We work in short rounds, each one something you can use and comment on.
Once it’s live, we keep it running and make changes as your work changes.
You own the code we write for you. Most clients would rather not deal with hosting, so we can host it and look after it for you. If you’d ever like to take it elsewhere, we’ll hand everything over.
Hosting and payment arrangements depend on the project, and we’ll talk them through with you.
When something needs fixing or changing, you talk to the person who built it.
The best tool is one your team barely notices. We’d rather learn your process than ask you to change it.
Where we use AI, we aim to leave the decisions that matter with a person. What that looks like depends on the job.
Begin with the job that costs you the most time. If it helps, there’s always more to build later.
A sentence or two is plenty. We aim to reply within two working days.
