100% recommend

I cannot recommend Start Software highly enough for any of your development needs.

The entire team has been consistently friendly, approachable, and very helpful throughout the development of our mill computer system. Any question, big or small, is handled quickly, professionally, and with a great attitude.

Customer for over 6 years

We have been working with Start Software for over 6 years now.

They work on both our internal and external software systems and have been an integral part of developing our mobile app.

They are a knowledgeable and flexible addition to our development team.

Even though we are based in the U.S., we have had great success working with our U.K. partners.

Dependable, Transformative, Unique...Even Rare.

The Start team is experienced, meticulous, innovative - simply top-notch as developers, leaders and technology managers. What's rare is how the team works together cohesively and approach every obstacle or challenge with an absolute can-do attitude. Robin and the team genuinely care about your business and objectives nearly as much as you do. They are innovative, but within reason - which comes from real depth of experience.

Our business has been truly transformed by Start Software. They gave us back time, which in turn allowed us to focus on vision and growth instead of just running.

Highly recommended

We’ve worked with Start Software for a number of years as a trusted development partner for our internal and client-facing systems at CTT. They’ve played a key role in creating and maintaining several of our integrated applications, including our internal database “Tracker”, which has streamlined our workflows and improved efficiency across multiple departments.

Start also developed our client-facing portal application that integrates seamlessly with our product, CTT Legacy, providing a smooth and professional experience for our advisers and clients alike.

Throughout our partnership, the team at Start have demonstrated excellent technical expertise — from system integration and database management to cyber security best practice and AI-driven innovation. Their collaborative approach, responsiveness, and ability to understand complex requirements make them a pleasure to work with.

If you’re looking for a software partner with genuine technical capability and a proactive attitude towards continuous improvement, we would highly recommend Start Software.

Innovative with a social conscience!

Start Software are innovative, talented, with a great team and big social conscience! We believe the work they have done with the OpenAsbestos protocols could and would be transformative for better, easier and safer asbestos management in the UK.

Pleasure to work with...

It's been an absolute pleasure to work with Robin and his team. They've produced a highly impressive and very user-friendly App, called RoadVlog, and it has been widely used and praised by many of our key stakeholders. I can't recommend Start Software highly enough. They're very client focused, good at listening to feedback and adapting, and highly professional.
