Workflow automation
Scripts and scheduled jobs that handle data entry, file shuffling, emails and reminders while you get on with your day.
Bespoke software for UK businesses
Bespoke automation, tools and integrations for businesses. We take the copy-pasting, the chasing and the spreadsheet wrangling off your team, so they can get back to the work that matters.
From 4 hours to 4 seconds
Every week someone copies figures from emails into a spreadsheet, checks them by hand, and builds the same report again.
We sit with you, follow the process from start to finish, and find what can be handed to a computer.
Clean, tested code built around the tools you already use. No forcing your business into someone else's software.
The job happens on schedule, without mistakes, while you get on with something else.
from cch import inbox, sheets, notify@schedule("mon 07:30")def weekly_invoices(): invoices = inbox.fetch(label="invoices") rows = [parse_pdf(i) for i in invoices] rows = dedupe(rows, key="invoice_no") for row in rows: row.status = match_payment(row) sheets.update("Invoices", rows) overdue = [r for r in rows if r.overdue] notify.send_report(rows, chase=overdue) # that's the whole job, done ✓

What we build
We don't sell off-the-shelf software. We build exactly what your business needs, then hand it over in plain English.
Scripts and scheduled jobs that handle data entry, file shuffling, emails and reminders while you get on with your day.
Simple web apps built around how your team actually works, from job trackers and quoting tools to booking systems and client portals.
Get your systems talking to each other. Connect your accounts software, CRM, shop and spreadsheets so information only gets entered once.
Turn scattered spreadsheets into reports that build themselves and land in your inbox, accurate and on time.
Sensible uses of AI, such as reading documents, sorting enquiries and drafting replies. Every step has checks so it stays reliable.
A broken spreadsheet macro, a script nobody understands, a tool the last developer left behind. We'll sort it out and document it.
Sound familiar?
Turn a site visit form into a finished, branded quote PDF in seconds.
Keep stock levels in sync between your shop, your spreadsheet and your supplier.
Pull statements and receipts into categorised, reconciled sheets automatically.
Build each client's weekly performance report from live data, with no copying and pasting.
Read incoming CVs, pull out the key details and drop them straight into your tracker.
Bring bookings, rotas and daily summaries together in one place your team can actually use.
How it works
A 30-minute call or coffee. You show us the job that's eating your time and we tell you honestly whether software can fix it.
A short written proposal setting out what we'll build and how long it will take, before any work begins.
We build in small pieces and show you working software early, so you can steer it before it's finished.
We set it up, train your team and give you plain-English documentation so everyone knows how it works.
If something changes down the line, someone who knows the system is on hand to help.
Savings calculator
Small manual jobs add up. Move the sliders to see what one repetitive task costs your business each year.
Based on 46 working weeks a year and 37.5-hour weeks. An estimate, not a quote.
Why work with us
No account managers or sales scripts. The person you talk to is the person writing your code.
We build around the software you already use, rather than making you change how you work.
If software isn't the answer, or an off-the-shelf tool would do the job, we'll tell you.
We explain things clearly and never hide behind jargon. You'll always know what's happening.
Tested, documented and kept simple on purpose, so it keeps working long after handover.
Your data stays in your systems wherever possible, handled with care and in line with UK GDPR.
About
I co-founded CCH Solutions to give businesses custom software that fits the way they actually work, without the jargon.
CCH began years ago as a group of school friends who liked building things. The name and logo stuck around, and so did the habit of making stuff work properly. Today that means writing software that quietly saves people hours every week.
If you've got a process that makes you think "there must be a better way", there usually is. I'd love to hear about it.
FAQ
Every project is different, so we'll talk through what you need in a free initial chat and agree a clear proposal before any work begins. Try the calculator above to see what the task is costing you now.
Simple automations can be running within a week or two. Bigger internal tools usually take a few weeks. You'll get a clear timeline up front and see working progress along the way.
Not at all. That's what we're here for. You just need to know your business; we handle the technical side and explain everything in plain English.
We build things to be robust and well documented, so problems are rare and easy to fix. If your process changes, the software can be updated to match.
We keep your data in your own systems wherever possible, only ask for the access we need, and handle personal data in line with UK GDPR. We're happy to sign an NDA before we start.
