Software built by an in-house team you can actually reach.
Tech Cog is a UK software development and consultancy studio. We scope it properly, build it in-house, and stay accountable once it's live — platforms, sites, marketing systems and games.
Vision — the platform we built and still run
Vision is Tech Cog's largest ongoing project: a full multi-ledger business management platform we designed, built and continue to operate — currently running the day-to-day sales, purchasing, stock and financial operations for four different businesses.
Currently running for A.W. Jenkinson, Melcourt, Furness Supply and Kingfisher Building Products.

Every project starts with your business, not our tech
From first call to launch, this is the process — every time.
Understand
We start with your business issue or opportunity — before a line of code. Our goal is to strip away the fluff and define what will actually move the needle.
Design
We map the user journeys, data structures and integrations needed, and shape the experience with the people who'll actually use it.
Build
We develop and implement, shipping in fast, dependable increments — so you're seeing working software early, not a single reveal at the end.
Operate
We deploy, host, and keep it healthy — bringing value at every stage, not disappearing after launch.
Support that doesn't disappear after go-live
Software needs care once it's live. Our support packages keep it running, updated and improving.
Technical assistance
Timely, efficient support to resolve any issues with your software.
Bug fixes
Identified bugs and errors addressed promptly, to keep things running smoothly.
Software updates
Regular updates to improve performance, security and compatibility.
General support
Ongoing guidance to help you get the most out of your software.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a project take?
It depends on scope — a focused web app or accounting tool might take a few weeks, a full platform longer. We give you a clear timeline after the scoping call, before any commitment.
How is a project priced?
We scope the work properly before quoting, so you get a clear, fixed price up front — no open-ended hourly billing, no surprises partway through.
Is the work outsourced?
No. Every project is built by our own in-house UK team — never subcontracted or offshored.
What happens after launch?
We stay on as your technical partner — hosting, support, and further development. We don't disappear after go-live.
What technology do you build with?
C#, WinForms and DevExpress for desktop and line-of-business platforms; PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript and jQuery for websites and web apps; Unreal Engine and Verse for games; MySQL, MariaDB or MSSQL underneath — chosen for what fits the job, not a one-size-fits-all template.
