Projects & Bespoke Dashboards
We are a team of software developers formerly at Imperial College London with academic expertise in weather, water and risk.
We've delivered projects for organisations including Water Resources East, the Environment Agency, and research consortia across the UK and internationally.
Our Approach
Users at the Centre of the Design
Our approach is informed by research on user priorities for data infrastructure, ensuring we build systems that deliver genuine value.
We start with users first.
Understanding user objectives, activities, and information needs is central to meeting requirements. We do this through the correct features and formats that support real decision-making.
We build from data reality to meet user requirements.
We assess available data sources, their quality, and their limitations. User needs and data capabilities map onto each other in the final design, avoiding over-promising or under-delivering.
Once agreed between partners, we deliver.
This includes iterative development, deployment, handover, training, and documentation. We design for maintainability so your team can own and evolve the platform.
Our process:
- 1Discovery — User needs, objectives, and data assessment
- 2Design — Prototypes and feature specification
- 3Build — Iterative development with regular feedback
- 4Deploy — Testing, training, and documentation
- 5Handover — Knowledge transfer and ongoing support options

Modern Infrastructure, Delivered Fast
We use modern cloud and data infrastructure, not legacy systems. This enables faster delivery, lower costs, and easier maintenance. We build on scalable, reliable platforms that your team can understand and maintain.
The result: projects that move from idea to live system in weeks or months, not years, at competitive pricing.
Case Study
Smart Abstraction Dashboard
Water Resources East / Environment Agency
The challenge
Multiple stakeholders needed a shared view of abstraction compliance and groundwater conditions. Decision-makers required clear, accessible information to support abstraction decisions and regulatory compliance. The system needed to integrate groundwater and surface-water signals and serve different user groups.
Our approach
We ran user scoping workshops to map information needs across stakeholders. We assessed available data sources, their quality, and integration requirements. We built prototypes for feedback, then developed the dashboard iteratively with regular stakeholder input.
What we delivered
A groundwater smart abstraction dashboard providing:
- •Clear status views for abstraction compliance
- •Integrated groundwater and surface-water data
- •QA/QC foundations for data reliability
- •User-centred design for different stakeholder needs
- •Alert-ready architecture for future enhancements
Outcomes
The dashboard supported clearer shared understanding across stakeholders. It enabled early exploration of data-driven approaches to abstraction management and created a foundation for further rollout and automation.
Who We Work With
Typical partners:
- •UK and international regulators and government agencies
- •Catchment partnerships and water groups
- •International NGOs and environmental organisations
- •Research consortia and academic institutions
- •Water utilities and industry
- •Farms and large land managers
We can support any stage of your project:
- •Discovery — user needs and data assessment
- •Design — prototypes and feature specification
- •Build — iterative development with feedback
- •Deploy — testing, training, and documentation
- •Handover — knowledge transfer and support
Whether you have a clear specification or just an idea, we can help develop it into a working system.
Get in Touch
Interested in a bespoke dashboard or data platform? We can help.
Even if your project is just an idea, we can advise on how to develop it. We offer discovery and scoping workshops to map user needs, assess data availability, and define a clear path forward.
