making complex tasks simple
Ayrmer Software’s expertise lies in our ability to interpret your business requirements and provide a bespoke software solution that meets your needs. Our approach is uncommon within Small to Medium sized Enterprises (SME) environment. We approach your software projects in much the same way an architect would; you wouldn’t build a house without an architect’s input, so why build your solution without a specification that includes well formed outcomes?
A specification ensures that all the stakeholders have a clear understanding of the scope of your project and enables us to demonstrate that our recommendations represent the best solution for your business. It significantly reduces costs and enables us to provide accurate time scales for project management, which is essential for the successful implementation of your project. It relies on you and your business investing resources into the creation of the specification, so that we can understand your business and you can be confident that the technical solution will deliver your business needs. Having understood the scope of your requirements, we can provide accurate costs and time scales, often resulting in savings in time, money and hassle during the later stages of development and avoiding “feature creep”.
Using this approach, you can be confident your expectations will be met and there will not be any surprises! It also allows you the time to fully understand the implications, enabling you to make informed decisions on how best to achieve the desired results. This normally results in far fewer changes made during the development, avoiding costly adaptations and delays (feature creep). It’s just one more way that we make complex tasks simple!

COMPLEX APPLICATIONS
Our Childcare online Booking (CoB) System
We’ve also built a booking solution for wrap-around childcare providers, running out of school childcare – breakfast clubs, after school clubs and holiday clubs – the is designed with both parents and childcare providers in mind. Based on a bespoke solution we developed for Fun in School Holidays (FisH) in 2011, we launched an off the self solution in January 2016, having rebuilt the solution from the ground up.
We’ve worked with childcare providers, schools and academies since 2004, when we developed an admissions system for Mossbourne Academy in Hackney and have gone on to work with hundreds of academies and schools, before working with privately run childcare providers across the United Kingdom.
BESPOKE ECOMMERCE
SJ SPORTS CARS
We’ve recently launched two systems; the first (shown above) is a responsive, multilingual, e-commerce website for SJ Sports Cars and is their second generation of the business’s website, following the successful launch of the original website design and developed by Ayrmer Software in 2009 that has enabled the business to grow on-line sales significantly over the last 8 years. The new website has seen a 65% increase in traffic and a further increase of 56% telephone calls since it was launched in August.
WORDPRESS WEBSITES
Responsive Designs
We can also create WordPress websites – a free and open-source content management system that features include a plugin architecture and a template system, referred to within WordPress as Themes – that is idea for small businesses that want a straight forward content managed website or ecommerce website (using woocommerce). Whilst we are able to develop more sophisticated online database applications, often WordPress will meet your needs.
BUSINESS APPLICATIONS
Online database applications
The second system is a coaching management system that The Executive Coaching Consultancy uses to manage one-to-one coaching and workshops, ensuring busy coaches can retreive information about their coaching appointments and feedback to their support team, based in Shoreditch, in London.
The coaches access information on the move and have a slimmed down version of the system accessed via smartphones that enable them to confirm coaching appointments. The system was launched on 3rd August, after completing the data migration from their legacy system and we continue to provide on going development and technical support to ensure the bespoke software solution continues to delivery efficiencies throughout the business.
