Software and automation
that fit your business.
We help mid-market businesses cut manual work, connect the systems they already run, and see what's happening across the operation. We advise on what to buy, build what doesn't exist, and make it all work together. One team, start to finish.
Most businesses don't need more software. They need the right software, working together.
Too many tools. Too little fit.
Enterprise CRM, ERP, and SaaS subscriptions get more expensive every year, and most were never designed for how your business runs. You pay for features you never open and still do the important work by hand, in spreadsheets and inboxes. We work from the other end. We look at the operation first, then tell you what to buy, what to build, what to cancel, and how to connect what remains. The result is less manual effort and a clear view of the whole operation.
Three ways to work with us.
Some clients arrive knowing what they need. Others suspect a problem but can't size it yet. Both are fine starting points.
Tech & Process Assessment
We map how the business runs today, then set out what to build, what to buy, what to automate, and what to leave alone. You get a prioritised plan with costs and sequence. Most clients start here.
Build Engagement
Automations, workflow systems, integrations, internal tools, rebuilds. We design it, build it, test it, and ship it into production. You own the source code.
Partnership Retainer
A set number of days each month for process design, new automations, and technology decisions. The same senior people, month after month. Most of our work happens here.
How an engagement runs.
No long contracts. Every engagement has to justify the next one on its own.
No obligation
We ask about your business, your pain, and what you've tried. If we can help, we propose a starting point. If we can't, we tell you who to talk to instead.
Understand before you spend
A workshop, sprint, or assessment before any build. The output is a decision, not a document. Sometimes the honest answer is that nothing is worth doing yet. We say that too.
Ship working software
Scoped tightly, built well, shipped into production. The people who did the diagnosis do the build, so nothing gets lost in a handover.
Keep improving
Most clients move into a retainer after the first build. The more context we carry, the faster and better the work gets. That compounds.
Why work with us.
Not cheaper hours. The same senior people do the thinking and the building, and the context carries from one engagement to the next.
Advisory and build, one team
The people who scope the work deliver it. No handover between consultants who won't ship and developers who won't think.
Straight answers
Sometimes the answer is don't build it. Sometimes your system is fine and the process is the problem. Sometimes the right move is an off-the-shelf tool, chosen properly. We say so, even when it costs us the work.
We don't start from scratch
Years of building operational systems have left us with our own automation frameworks and building blocks. You get custom software without the cost and risk of a from-zero build.
Proven technology
.NET, React, Angular, PostgreSQL, AWS. Tools that will still be standard in ten years. We care about the result, not the framework.
What we do. What we don't.
Knowing what we don't do is part of the offering. Here's the line.
Automation, workflows, integrations, visibility.
- Process automationThe repetitive work between systems and people: data entry, handoffs, approvals, reporting. Done automatically, done reliably.
- Workflow systemsCustom systems for multi-step production, casework, and operational processes that standard SaaS can't hold.
- System integrationsERP, CRM, finance, and operational systems connected properly. One flow of data instead of five copies of it.
- Operational visibilityDashboards, portals, and internal tools that show the state of the business at a glance, so nothing hides in an inbox or a spreadsheet.
- AI where it fitsDocument processing, customer service, internal operations. Working agents inside real workflows, not chatbots bolted on the side.
- Advisory and roadmapsProcess design, technology roadmaps, vendor evaluation. Advice that ends in a plan you can execute, not a deck.
We refer this out.
- Cybersecurity advisorySpecialist partners do this better than we would.
- Legal compliance opinionsWe're not lawyers. We refer to firms that are.
- IT support and managed servicesA different business model and a different team. We build; we don't run helpdesks.
- Pure data analytics or BIAdjacent to our work, not our work. We'll point you to specialists.
Businesses where the operations are the hard part.
If your business is simple to run, you don't need us. We work with mid-market companies whose operations have outgrown a single ERP or an off-the-shelf stack. Usually the leadership is non-technical and knows every operational pain by name.
Manufacturing and production
Multi-site, multi-stage, integration-heavy. ERP, MES, and quality systems that don't talk to each other yet.
Specialised distribution and logistics
High-SKU, route-driven, multi-channel. An ops team holding it together with spreadsheets.
Professional services with complex casework
Legal, engineering, advisory, research. Every engagement has a dozen moving parts, and the billing is never simple.
Healthcare administration
Multi-site practices, claims, patient flow. The clinical software is fine; the admin around it bleeds hours.
Financial services operations
Brokerages, investment managers, fintech operations. Regulation shapes the work, so the systems have to be custom.
Three tiers. Pick the entry point.
Tech & Process Assessment
Fixed scope, fixed price, three to six weeks. Ends with a plan you can execute with us or without us.
Partnership Retainer
Defined days per month, senior input on every decision, and ongoing ownership of the systems we've built. Scales up or down as the work demands.
Build Engagement
Scoped and quoted before we start, billed against milestones. Ends with source code, documentation, and a clean handover.
Where the market is going.
A small team that thinks and ships.
NXT Solutions is built on one idea: strategy and implementation belong in the same team. Most consultancies stop at the recommendation. Most development shops start at the spec. We do both, for the same client, over time.
Our clients are mid-market companies, often founder-led, where leadership knows the business intimately and needs a partner who can turn that knowledge into working systems.
We stay deliberately small. Senior people on every engagement, and we don't sell work we can't deliver ourselves. The longer a relationship runs, the more context we carry, and the better the work gets.
Tell us what you struggle with. We'll tell you if we can help.
If we're not a fit, we'll point you to someone who is.
