Software & IT services

softilo

Prospectus Nº 01

United Kingdom

Good software,
properly built.

Softilo is a UK technology company. We design and build software for other businesses, advise on IT and look after systems once they’re live. We make our own products for shops, clinics and boutiques — and we run an online store on the same code, so we feel every bug before our clients do.

01A price before we start
Fixed price or a capped budget, in writing, with what’s out of scope.
02Working software, often
Something you can click on every week or two, not a big reveal at the end.
03We run what we build
Our own shop and products run on this stack, every day, with real customers.
04UK company, UK hours
Registered in England & Wales. Contracts under English law. Replies within a working day.

What we do for clients

All services →
01SIC 62012

Software development

Web applications, customer portals, back-office systems and APIs. Designed, built, tested and handed over with documentation your team can actually use.

02SIC 62012

AI & automation

Assistants, voice agents and automated workflows grounded in your own data. We build them to say “I don’t know” and hand over to a person rather than guess.

03SIC 62012

Commerce engineering

Headless storefronts, marketplace integrations and order pipelines. We run our own shop on this stack, so we’ve already hit the problems.

04SIC 62020

IT consultancy

An outside view on the systems you have and the ones you’re about to buy. Architecture reviews, technical due diligence and roadmaps with costs attached.

05SIC 62090

Managed IT services

Hosting, monitoring, backups, security patches and a person to call. For businesses that want their systems looked after without hiring a team.

06SIC 62090

Takeovers & rescues

Inherited a system nobody understands, or a project that stalled? We read it, test it, write down how it works and get it moving again — or tell you plainly if it’s cheaper to start over.

Section 04 — Retail

We run a shop, too.

Softilo Store sells authentic products from reputable brands — on our own website and on Amazon and eBay. It gives the group steady cash flow and a direct line to customers, and it’s where we test everything we build: the headless storefront, the stock sync across three channels, and the parcel insert that turns marketplace buyers into our own customers.

How we work

No surprises.

Four steps on every project, and four rules we don’t bend.

Engagements and pricing →
  1. Step 1

    Talk

    A call to understand the problem. No charge, no slide deck.

  2. Step 2

    Scope

    A written proposal with a fixed price or a capped budget, and what’s out of scope.

  3. Step 3

    Build

    Short cycles with working software you can try every week or two.

  4. Step 4

    Look after

    Handover, documentation, and support for as long as you want it.

We run what we build
Our own shop runs on software we wrote. When we talk about uptime or checkout conversion, it’s from experience.
Honest numbers
If data is missing, the screen says so. We don’t fill gaps with guesses — in dashboards, in AI answers or in estimates.
Mock-first, test-first
Every external service sits behind an adapter with a working stand-in, so the whole system runs and is tested without live keys.
Plain English
Proposals, documentation and interfaces written for the people who’ll use them, not for other engineers.

Section 05 — The group

One company, many brands.

Softilo is built as a parent company. Software and IT services come first; retail keeps our feet on the ground. Over time, specialist shops and products will run under their own names, sharing the same technology, warehouse and standards.
