Custom Software Built Around How You Work

Stop adapting your business to off-the-shelf tools. We build client portals, internal dashboards, and integrations designed specifically for your operations.

What We Build

Business systems designed around your actual workflow.

Built to Do Exactly What You Need

We build your infrastructure using industry-standard tools alongside our suite of in-house products. Every Harper solution follows one rule: do exactly what you need it to do - nothing more, nothing less. We don't overcomplicate your life, and we don't overpromise and underdeliver.

  • Branded login and dashboard
  • Project progress tracking

  • Inventory and stock management
  • Staff timesheets and scheduling
  • Pricing and quoting tools
  • Training and onboarding platforms

Real Problems We Solve

The kind of issues we fix every day.

Weekly Report Hell

Friday afternoons spent pulling data from 3 systems into a spreadsheet. Same report, every week, 2-3 hours.

Automated - 10+ hours/month saved

Receipt Chase

Team forgets to submit receipts. Manual data entry. Constant month-end scramble to reconcile.

Photo to books in seconds

Client Onboarding

New client setup takes 45 minutes. Same email, same documents, same calendar invite - every time.

5 minutes with automation

Invoice Chasing

Manually sending reminder emails for overdue invoices - or forgetting entirely.

Auto-reminders - 40% faster payment

Staff Training

Onboarding new hires is inconsistent. No central place for training materials or progress tracking.

Structured LMS with tracking

Lead Tracking

Leads in email, spreadsheets, and your head. No visual pipeline. Some fall through the cracks.

Visual funnel - nothing missed

Common Questions

What clients typically ask about custom development.

No. Most clients come to us knowing what's frustrating them, not what the solution should look like. We help you figure that out. The Discovery phase is specifically designed to understand your problems and design the right solution.

Simple automations can be live in 2-4 weeks. More complex systems typically take 6-12 weeks. We'll give you a clear timeline during Discovery and show you progress weekly throughout the build.

It happens. We build in review points throughout each project where we can adjust course. Minor changes are usually absorbed; larger scope changes are quoted separately before we proceed. No surprises.

We operate on a licensing model - you get full access to use the system for your business, while we retain ownership and handle all maintenance, updates, and improvements. This keeps our prices accessible for SMBs by letting us subsidise development costs.

Full ownership transfer is available for enterprise clients, VC-backed startups, or businesses with specific requirements - this is priced separately. Your business data is always yours, and we provide clean exports if you ever want to move on.

Setup fees start from £997 for simple automations and scale based on complexity. After setup, you pay a monthly subscription that covers hosting, maintenance, and support - plus usage costs for things like SMS, AI, and voice where applicable.

We always provide a detailed quote upfront so you know exactly what you're paying before you commit.

Ongoing support is included in your monthly subscription. We monitor your systems, handle updates, and respond to issues. You also get regular review calls to optimise performance and discuss improvements.
