How we work

From your first enquiry to a live app.

A plain account of how a project with CPS runs, step by step, from the first conversation to the app your team uses every day.

Who CPS is for

UK small businesses that have outgrown their spreadsheets, starting with the trades: roofers, builders and the firms that run crews on site. Most have the same story: they built a spreadsheet, then another, then a workbook nobody dares touch, and made it work until the business outgrew it. That's the point where one app built around how you work starts to make sense.

The steps

Every project follows the same five steps, in this order.

  1. Discovery

    We start by learning how your business actually runs: the jobs, the people, the spreadsheets and the tools you already use.

  2. Fixed-price proposal

    We write up what we'll build and what it will cost, and the price is agreed with you in writing before the build starts.

  3. Build

    We build your app from a specification of how you work, and refine it with you as it takes shape.

  4. Go-live

    When you're happy with it, the app goes live and your team starts using it.

  5. Support

    Support follows go-live: we look after the app and keep extending it as your business grows.
