Fractional CTO & software development in Birmingham

Birmingham's economy runs on manufacturing, logistics, and professional services — sectors where legacy ERPs, spreadsheets, and disconnected systems still carry too much of the load. We provide fractional CTO leadership and hands-on delivery for SMEs that need modern interfaces and integrations without ripping out systems that already work.

From the Jewellery Quarter to the wider West Midlands supply chain, Birmingham businesses often sit between national contracts and tight margins. That makes slow quoting, manual order handling, and fragile integrations expensive. We work with teams across the city and wider West Midlands, typically remote with occasional on-site sessions when warehouse or operations work needs it.

Typical projects include wrapping legacy ERPs in modern UIs, automating quoting and order flows, and giving your team a single place to see what's happening across operations. Explore our UK system integration services, pricing and engagement models, or contact us to discuss your systems.

FAQs — fractional CTO in Birmingham

Do you work with Birmingham manufacturers on legacy ERP systems?

Yes. A large share of our Birmingham work involves wrapping legacy ERPs — including Progress OpenEdge and similar platforms — with modern web interfaces, APIs, and customer portals. We preserve existing business logic while improving speed and usability.

Can you support Birmingham agencies delivering technical projects?

We act as a technical partner for agencies shipping portals, dashboards, and ERP-integrated builds — providing architecture sign-off, pre-sales support, and escalation cover without you hiring a full-time CTO.

How do you engage with Birmingham-based businesses?

Most delivery is remote across the UK. For Birmingham and West Midlands clients we offer subscription-based fractional CTO retainers or ad hoc consultation, with in-person discovery or warehouse visits when useful.
