Transform your enterprise with custom, AI‑driven software
Modern enterprises need technology that adapts, scales and delivers measurable impact.
Off‑the‑shelf/licensed software and ERP customisations offer rigid one‑size‑fits‑all solutions that rarely keep up with complex operations. They lock customers into a solution and typically adopt payment models that punish growth/greater adoption.

Reducing shipment scanning time by over 80% for DHL
DHL needed to modernise their manual shipment scanning process to boost speed and accuracy. Steer73 built a custom software system integrating hardware, cloud, and analytics tools.
The result: scanning times cut by over 80%, fewer errors, reduced staff costs, and powerful real-time dashboards improving efficiency and decision-making across operations.
Reducing cost of sales with an entirely new online sales model
Chubb needed to reduce their high cost of sale of fire safety services by moving from using a traditional field sales force to an online sales model. This involved not just the creation of an online platform but also significant operational changes to move the business to a digital model.

Industries we serve
We’ve partnered with organisations across a wide range of sectors, using our proven process to build custom software and AI‑enabled solutions that deliver measurable ROI. While we have deep experience in the verticals below, our approach is industry‑agnostic, meaning we can adapt to any sector and guarantee outcomes.
Construction & engineering
Field teams need up‑to‑date information, clear instructions and compliance tracking. We can build mobile and web apps that organise field tasks, provide real‑time data and ensure regulatory compliance, along with computer‑vision systems for quality checks and defect detection.
Manufacturing
Improving production reliability and cutting costs are top priorities. We can deliver manufacturing design systems, computer‑vision QA platforms and data‑driven dashboards that monitor equipment health, predict failures and optimise production schedules.
Logistics
Efficiency across the network depends on streamlined processes and information flow. We can create shipment‑scanning apps, real‑time tracking portals and AI agents that coordinate dispatch, warehouse and delivery teams, ensuring everyone has the tools they need to work effectively.
B2B services
Meeting customer expectations requires smooth digital experiences. We can develop web‑based applications to replace complex spreadsheets, customer portals for self‑service and data projects that capture and structure information so you can serve clients better.
Physical, consumer‑cacing businesses
Retail and other consumer environments need technology to stay relevant and efficient. We can build companion apps, inventory and supplier management systems, and ordering platforms that streamline operations, enhance in‑store experiences and connect seamlessly with back‑end systems.
Restaurants & hospitality
Upselling, cross‑selling and owning the customer relationship are key to growth. We can design loyalty‑enabled ordering platforms, mobile apps that personalise offers and AI agents that help optimise menus and control raw material costs.
Energy & mining
These sectors demand operational resilience and must adapt to evolving customer expectations. We can modernise legacy systems, implement IoT data pipelines and deliver predictive analytics to help manage assets safely and efficiently while providing customer‑facing tools such as account portals.

Flexible pricing & engagement models
We understand that every enterprise has unique governance structures, budget constraints, and project delivery requirements. That’s why we offer a range of flexible engagement models designed to align with your internal processes, whether you need a tightly controlled fixed-price project or an agile, long-term partnership.
Fixed price model
Ideal when scope and requirements are well-defined. We agree on a fixed cost and timeline upfront, ensuring predictability and clear governance. Fixed-price projects typically follow a Waterfall approach and include a formal change-request process for any variations in scope.
Time & materials
Best suited to projects with evolving requirements. You retain flexibility to adjust scope and priorities as the project progresses. Work is billed according to the time and effort invested, allowing for adaptive delivery while maintaining full transparency.
Managed service model
Our most flexible and cost-effective model for long-term enterprise engagements. A dedicated team works as your extended product development arm, delivering ongoing improvements, maintenance, and new features.
The benefits of enterprise software development vs licensed software
Off-the-shelf, licensed systems can be slightly faster to deploy, but they often constrain how your business operates. Custom enterprise software, on the other hand, gives you full control over functionality, cost, and future development.
Tailored 100% to your business
A custom system is designed entirely around your requirements, workflows, and goals. Instead of adapting your business to fit generic software, the software adapts perfectly to you. solving your exact problems and driving measurable performance improvements.
Complete control over the roadmap
With licensed software, your roadmap is dictated by a vendor’s priorities. With a custom solution, you decide how the system evolves. You control the features, integrations, and timelines, ensuring the technology always aligns with your business strategy.
A genuine competitive advantage
Because your system is unique, so is your capability. Custom enterprise software allows you to develop proprietary features and workflows that your competitors simply can’t buy off the shelf, creating a lasting competitive edge.
Flexibility over long-term costs
Licensed software locks you into recurring monthly or annual fees, often increasing over time. With custom software, you own the system outright. After launch, ongoing costs can be reduced to essentials such as hosting, and paused or scaled as needed.
Lower total cost of ownership
It’s now common for a bespoke system to cost less than one or two years of license fees for an equivalent enterprise platform. Once built, your custom system continues to deliver value year after year, without ongoing licence inflation or user-based pricing.
You build an asset, not rent one
Licensed software is a rented tool, you lose access the moment you stop paying. Custom enterprise software is a long-term business asset. You own the intellectual property, control the data, and can evolve the platform as your organisation grows.
Frequently asked questions about enterprise software development
Steer73 provides end-to-end enterprise software development services, from strategy and system design to implementation, hosting, and long-term management. We build custom software, data platforms, mobile apps, and AI-powered systems that transform how enterprises operate.
Licensed and ERP systems are built for mass adoption, meaning they rarely fit a specific business perfectly. Custom enterprise software is designed entirely around your organisation’s workflows, goals, and requirements. You own the IP, have full control over the roadmap, and avoid ongoing licence fees, creating a long-term asset that delivers competitive advantage and measurable ROI.
Costs vary depending on scope, complexity, and delivery model. Steer73 offers multiple engagement models including fixed-price, time-and-materials, and dedicated managed services, allowing us to adapt to your governance and budget requirements. Projects start as low as £20,000 and many clients find that a custom system pays for itself within one to two years, often costing less than annual licence fees for comparable enterprise platforms.

Timelines depend on project complexity and delivery approach. Typical enterprise projects might have a first release after 3–6 months. Our process ensures predictable timelines and guaranteed outcomes at each stage.
We’ve developed a proven methodology that guarantees ROI and eliminates delivery risk. Each phase is clearly defined, supported by our proprietary Digital Transformation Platform, and validated by Steer73 Acceptance Tests. We also operate under structured governance, ensuring full transparency, milestone control, and quality assurance throughout.
Yes. Many of our enterprise engagements involve collaborating closely with in-house teams. We’re often brought in to accelerate delivery, provide specialised expertise not available internally, or take ownership of systems that sit outside your team’s core focus.
We’re technology-agnostic but Microsoft-first. Most of our enterprise systems are built on Azure Cloud, leveraging tools such as Azure AI, Copilot Studio, and Document Intelligence for AI-powered capabilities. We also integrate with legacy systems, ERPs, and third-party APIs to ensure complete interoperability across your technology stack.
Post-launch, we can provide ongoing support, monitoring, and improvement through Steer Continuity, our managed service for long-term system management. This ensures performance, security, and continuous enhancement as your business evolves.
Absolutely. We design every system with enterprise-grade security, compliance, and privacy management in mind. A core part of our Discovery process is to understand the security requirements of the system. This often includes following robust governance frameworks aligning with relevant standards (e.g., GDPR, ISO-based controls, Azure security best practices).
