Bespoke software, built in the UK

software that fits the business. not the other way round.

We design, build and look after the systems small and mid-sized businesses actually run on. Ordering, stock, customers, the lot. Built around how you work, not how a package says you should.

    it starts with what isn’t working.

    Every business we meet has a version of the same four things.

    • the spreadsheet everyone relies on.
    • two systems that don’t talk.
    • the stock nobody can see.
    • the support queue that never empties.

    we build the system around how you work.

    Not configured. Not templated. Designed from how the work actually flows, then built.

    we make the systems you already have talk.

    Most of the value is in the joins. Your CRM, your accounts, your help desk, your suppliers’ systems, finally in step.

    and when the answer is hardware, we design that too.

    Circuit boards, enclosures, firmware, and the software they report into. One team for the whole thing, as with AMPiiN’s device above.

    and we stay.

    The people who built it answer the phone. Most of the time the system answers first.

Hardware, software, or plain old integration. Built to last, or bodged by Friday because it has to be. Say what the problem is and we will tell you honestly which it needs.

A note from Ben

I started Garman Technology because I kept seeing good businesses bend themselves around software that was never built for them.

Every system we build starts with how your team actually works: the spreadsheet everyone relies on, the phone call that happens because two systems don't talk. We build the thing that removes that friction, and then we stay to look after it.

You will always deal with the people writing the code. That is the point of working with a firm our size.
