Blueberry’s mission is to develop great bespoke software systems. We have over ten years experience of listening to customers requirements, and translating this into reliable, high quality code – quickly and within budget.

The key to success in software development is communication – to make absolutely sure that the development team really and truly understand what the customer wants the software to do.

Blueberry’s solution to this is simple: we use ex-developers with very strong communication skills as our project managers. This ensures that the key project manager role is filled by a person who can talk to both developers and customers.

Blueberry has strong experience across a wide variety of project types. We’re at home with:

• Client-server development
• Database system development – including migration of MS Access projects
• Web application development
• Mobile development

We also offer a project rescue service: if you have an existing project which is failing, we can often take over the code, and turn the project around. We’ve done this for many customers.

Blueberry has experience of many different industry sectors, including:

• Transport and Logistics
• Property Management
• Health Systems
• E-Commerce, including international purchasing systems
• Government related projects
• Education
• Industry – Paper Mills, Aerospace

However, we’d stress that learning new fields and industries is something we have to do on every project: we normally surprise customers with how quickly we understand their sector.

To some customers, all programmers are equal. In fact, as with any walk of life, there are huge variations in skills and expertise.

Blueberry has been in business for 10 years; we have 30 developers, many of whom have worked for us for 5+ years. This gives us a very wide pool of expertise, covering all major operating systems and many development technologies. We’ve already solved problems such as barcode reading, optical character recognition, postcode lookup and online reporting many, many times.

At the same time, Blueberry is owned and managed by ex-developers, with a strong interest in all aspects of software development – and a history of very technical problem-solving. This gives us a depth of expertise that quite simply means we’re very rarely beaten. For many projects, this technical edge isn’t required – but when something goes wrong, it’s invaluable to be able to call for reinforcements who can drill into the issues and fix the problem.
