Software products & bespoke systems · Derby, UK
Off-the-shelf tools make you work their way. We make our own products, like TimeSpark time & attendance, and build the system that works yours — web, mobile, or the quiet internal tool that saves your team a day a week.

Our products
Alongside bespoke work, we make our own software, shaped by the systems we've built and run for real organisations.
Time & attendance
Clockings, holidays, rotas and door access for organisations with one site or many. Staff clock in on face-recognition terminals, book time off from their phone, and managers confirm hours ready for payroll.

Most of what we build starts as a conversation about a spreadsheet, a paper form or a process that's outgrown itself. If no product fits, we'll build the one that does.
What we build
BranTek is a bespoke development studio. No templates, no licences you'll outgrow — just software written for the way your organisation actually runs.
Secure, browser-based systems your team can use anywhere, with the permissions and reporting you'd expect from enterprise software.
iOS and Android apps for staff in the field or customers on the move — built once, working properly on both.
The spreadsheet that's become load-bearing, turned into something reliable, auditable and shared.
Repetitive admin taken off your team: scheduled jobs, generated documents, alerts that fire before something becomes a problem.
Systems that talk to each other. We connect what you already pay for, and get your data out of silos and into one view.
Deployment, backups, monitoring and ongoing changes. The system stays looked after long after launch.
Selected work
Client names and product names are withheld — the problems, and how we solved them, are not.
Further education · Web & tablet
Paper registers and a fortnightly reporting lag meant absence was spotted far too late. We built a register tutors complete in seconds on any device, with live absence flags, automatic escalation to pastoral staff, and reporting that used to take a person two days a month.
Education & training · Web
A dozen spreadsheets, three shared inboxes and no single version of the truth. We replaced the lot with one internal platform: records, workflows, role-based access and a full audit trail, so every action has a name and a timestamp against it.
Aviation · Web & mobile
Scheduling, checklists and sign-off were spread across paper and phone calls. We built a single workflow: bookings and resources in one place, digital checklists completed on a phone, and records filed automatically for compliance.
How it works
A conversation about what's not working. No charge, no obligation, and no jargon.
A written spec of exactly what gets built, with a price and a date attached to it.
You see working software early and often, and steer it while it's still cheap to change.
We deploy it, train your team, and stay on hand as things change.
