Custom Software

Purpose-built applications and decision support tools, delivered against a signed scope.

Overview

Off-the-shelf software fits the average organisation. Yours is not average, and the gap is usually bridged by spreadsheets, manual workarounds and processes that depend on one person knowing where everything lives.

Orbital Intelligence designs and builds software around the decision it must support: the sources it draws on, the people who use it and the audit trail it must leave. We work across the Microsoft Power Platform and modern web applications, and every build is delivered with the documentation to stand on its own.

What we build

Decision support tools: Applications that take defined inputs, apply your agreed rules and evidence, and return a position your teams can defend, with a full audit trail.

Workflow and process applications: Purpose-built tools that replace spreadsheet-driven processes with controlled data capture, approvals and reporting.

Automation and integration: Power Automate pipelines and integrations that connect your systems, remove manual cycles and keep data reconciled at the source.

Analytics applications: Where reporting needs outgrow a dashboard, we build the application around the model, on the same governed foundations as our Power BI work.

How the work runs

Signed scope first: The deliverable, sources and acceptance criteria are agreed in writing before anything is built. Changes are controlled and documented, and you always know which category a request falls into.

Reviewed as it lands: Builds are delivered in review cycles you see, with issues raised during walkthroughs typically resolved within days.

Transparent delivery reporting: Written progress reporting against the agreed scope and budget, including clear notification as thresholds are approached.

Documented handover: Every build ships with a technical reference and a user guide, issued for review and formally accepted. You own the product outright.
