BlueGrey · made in Yorkshire

Software for businesses that make things, fit things and fix things.

Two halves. Fellside, our business dashboards, takes what your business already records, in the systems you already run, and puts it in one place you can run the week from. The tools are small plugins for Adobe Illustrator that each do one job properly. Both are built by people who run a manufacturing business, on the same systems they sell into.

What do you run?

How it goes.

  1. A 20-minute call.

    By phone or Zoom. You tell us about the business and what you'd like to see.

  2. A short questionnaire.

    Simple, but thorough. You fill it in when it suits you, so we understand how the business runs.

  3. A meeting.

    In person, or online if you'd prefer. We talk through what we found, show you the options and what we can do for you.

  4. A price, and the grants that could help.

    If you decide to apply for a grant, we'll guide you through it.

In the office and on the floor.

Built for our own business first.

Nester came from the day job: the nesting tools on offer were slow, fragile, or built for designers instead of shops.

We built our own, ran it on real jobs, then put it up for sale.

Setout and Fellside came the same way. We use what we ship.
