A custom software development company in Croydon for back offices, retailers and new products

No. SpiderHunts has no Croydon office and none of the team is based in the borough. Our only UK address is the registered office at 182-184 High Street N, Office 14607, London E6 2JA, which is used for company paperwork and nothing else. Every developer works from Lahore, and every meeting, from discovery to handover, is a video call timed around your working day.

Expect £8,000 to £20,000 for an internal tool or MVP, £20,000 to £45,000 for a business web application, and from £45,000 for a platform or a modernisation of an old system. Cross-platform mobile apps run from £15,000 to £35,000, and SaaS products start at £30,000. These are our published prices, and each project is confirmed in a written quote with scope and exclusions agreed up front.

We do not claim that, because no honest firm can prove a ranking like it. A better test is evidence. Check verified reviews on independent platforms (ours include 4.6 on Clutch), insist on a written quote listing scope and exclusions, confirm who owns the code, and ask for references. Then book our free consultation and hold SpiderHunts to exactly the same standard.

No. SpiderHunts is a software company, not a managed IT provider. We do not run a help desk, maintain devices, networks or servers, supply hardware or cabling, administer Microsoft 365 or send engineers on site. What we do is build and integrate software, and give technology consulting on choosing systems, planning builds, automation and AI readiness. For desktop support, a local IT support firm is the right choice.

Yes, and that is often the cheaper answer. If your finance package, CRM, document store and forms each work well alone, we can link them through their APIs or scheduled imports so records flow automatically. Where a system has no usable API, we will tell you early. A small integration can sit at the lower end of our internal tool range, and the free call is where we judge which route fits.

Yes, reporting is a common reason Croydon suppliers come to us. We build systems that capture job, visit or case data as the work happens and turn it into the monthly returns a council or agency contract asks for, with the evidence behind each figure. If a client sends a supplier security questionnaire, we will explain how the software stores, protects and logs data so you can answer accurately.

Yes. A tightly scoped MVP usually falls in the £8,000 to £20,000 range, and a SaaS product with accounts, subscriptions and an admin area starts from £30,000. We push hard to keep the first release small, so you learn from real users before spending more. The code sits in your repository from day one, which matters if you later raise investment or hire your own developers.

Yes. We build cross-platform apps for iOS and Android from one codebase, typically £15,000 to £35,000, and native apps with complex integrations at £25,000 to £60,000. Common Croydon uses are staff apps for inspections, deliveries or store tasks, and customer apps for ordering and bookings. If a mobile-friendly web application would do the same job for less, we will recommend that instead.

Comfortably for most Croydon offices. Lahore is five hours ahead of the UK in winter and four hours ahead during British Summer Time, so the team's working day covers your morning and early afternoon. Calls are booked in your hours, never theirs, and progress is written up between meetings. Nobody from SpiderHunts visits in person, so plan on video for every session.

You do. Ownership of the code passes to you on full payment, as written into the contract. The repository, hosting and domain accounts are in your organisation's name from the start, and handover includes documentation and credentials. That means your own staff, or another supplier, can maintain or extend the system without asking our permission or paying for access.

We design software to support UK GDPR requirements. In practice that means role-based permissions, audit logs, retention and deletion rules, consent records and tools for handling access or erasure requests. Your organisation stays the data controller, so privacy notices and registration with the Information Commissioner's Office remain your responsibility. When we process personal data on your behalf, a written data processing agreement is signed first.

Sometimes. AI is useful for reading and sorting documents, summarising long case notes and drafting replies that a person checks before sending. It is a poor fit where every answer must be exactly right without review. On the free call we look at the actual task and tell you whether AI, plain automation or no change at all gives the better return for the money.
