Summary

SpiderHunts in Newham: what we build, where we really are, and prices

SpiderHunts Technologies Ltd is a software development company in Newham by registered address, building bespoke software, web applications, mobile apps, AI tools and SaaS products for organisations in Newham, the east London borough (London Borough of Newham). Internal tools start at £8,000, phone apps at £15,000 and SaaS products at £30,000.

Our registered office, 182-184 High Street N, Office 14607, London E6 2JA, is on East Ham's high street, which is in Newham. It is a registered office address and nothing more: nobody from SpiderHunts works there, and we do not hold meetings there. The whole team works from Lahore, and every client meeting is a video call in your working hours.

The company was incorporated in 2025 and is registered in England and Wales as number 16718403. The SpiderHunts business it continues has served 1,000+ clients since 2020.

Build: bespoke business software such as order, stock and job systems; web applications and portals; mobile apps for drivers, crews and customers; and SaaS platforms for founders.

Improve: automation between the tools you already use, AI development including AI agents that draft or sort work for staff to approve, and CRM setup.

Advise and be found: technology consulting on what to buy, build or connect, WordPress websites, and SEO.

Newham's economy has changed fast. Stratford grew around the Olympic Park and Westfield, East Bank has brought universities and cultural institutions, ExCeL keeps a whole supply chain of events firms busy around the Royal Docks, and logistics firms work out of Beckton and the docks. Through all of it, East Ham, Forest Gate, Canning Town and Green Street remain full of family businesses.

Every project starts with a written quote listing scope and exclusions. If your business is just across the water, our Canary Wharf page may suit you better, and the London and UK pages cover everywhere else.

What we do

Software development services in Newham: bespoke, web, mobile and AI

Pick the service that matches the problem, or let us suggest one after a free call. The same team handles the system, the app and the website, so they fit together.

01

Bespoke business software

Order, booking, stock and job systems shaped around the way your business already works, replacing spreadsheets that only one person understands.

02

Web development & portals

Exhibitor and customer portals, trade ordering sites and internal web apps, with logins, permissions and the reports managers need.

03

Mobile app development

Driver, crew and staff apps with proof of delivery, checklists and photos, and customer apps for ordering, bookings and loyalty.

04

AI development & agents

Tools that read orders and emails, translate customer messages, or draft replies, always passing the result to a person before it is sent.

05

SaaS development

Subscription software for Stratford and Royal Docks founders, built as a lean first release with accounts, billing and an admin area.

06

Automation between tools

Orders, invoices, stock and customer records passed automatically between your shop, accounts package, CRM and courier accounts.

07

Technology consulting

Our IT consulting means software and systems advice: what to buy, what to build, how to connect it and where AI fits. It is not managed IT support.

08

Websites, CRM & search

WordPress and WooCommerce sites, a CRM that keeps follow-ups on track, and SEO so customers across east London can find you.

What slows Newham firms down

Deadlines, double entry and lost paperwork

Whether the business sells at Westfield, supplies shows at ExCeL or runs vans out of Beckton, the trouble usually starts where one system ends and the next begins.

Without the right software

  • Orders for an event pour in by email in the final fortnight
  • Stock on the website and in the shop never quite agree
  • Drivers ring the office to confirm each delivery
  • Staff who speak different languages work from the same English-only spreadsheet
  • The owner is the only person who knows where everything is

With software that fits

  • A portal that collects orders early and closes them at a set cut-off
  • One stock figure shared by the till, the shop floor and the website
  • Proof of delivery captured on a phone with photo and signature
  • Screens and messages available in the languages your team uses
  • Processes written into the system, so anyone can pick them up

Working to a fixed date, such as a show, a launch or a season?

Book a free video consultation and tell us the date. We will tell you honestly what can be ready by then, what should wait, and what it is likely to cost.

Example projects

Software that fits Newham's business mix

Illustrative examples, not client results. Each is a realistic brief for a kind of business found in the borough, and the work we would propose.

Events & exhibition suppliers: Royal Docks and ExCeL

Exhibitor ordering portal with cut-off dates

Exhibitors order furniture, AV or catering for their stand online, pay deposits, and receive confirmations, while the warehouse gets pick lists grouped by hall and stand.

Aim: orders in early and fewer last-minute surprises on build-up day

Retail: Stratford and Green Street

Shared stock between shop and website

A WooCommerce store linked to the till, so a sale in the shop updates the website within minutes, with low-stock alerts and simple reorder suggestions.

Aim: no more selling online what has already left the shelf

Hospitality: Stratford and East Village

Bookings, pre-orders and staff rota

Table bookings and group pre-orders taken online, deposits collected for big events, and a rota tool that matches staffing to expected covers on match and concert days.

Aim: the right number of staff on the busiest evenings

Logistics & couriers: Beckton and the docks

Driver app with proof of delivery

Drivers see their route on a phone, capture photos and signatures at each drop, and flag problems, while the office tracks progress and sends customers an update.

Aim: delivery disputes settled with evidence, not phone calls

Education & culture: East Bank and Olympic Park

Workshop and event booking system

A booking system for a small arts or education organisation, with sessions, waiting lists, access needs, reminders and attendance records built to support UK GDPR requirements.

Aim: places filled and nobody turned away by mistake

Family businesses: East Ham and Forest Gate

Orders and accounts in one simple system

Customer orders, supplier invoices and payments gathered in one place, with screens in more than one language and a weekly summary the family can read together.

Aim: the business no longer depends on one person's memory

How we work

Planned around your dates: how a Newham project runs

Many Newham businesses work to dates that cannot move. We plan backwards from them, agree everything in writing and meet you on video in your hours.

  1. Free call and fixed dates

    On a video call we learn what the business does, who will use the software and which dates matter: a show, a season, a lease or a launch. If something you already pay for can do the job, we will say so.

  2. Plan and written quote

    You receive a written quote with scope, exclusions and a timeline worked back from your date. We mark clearly what must be ready first and what can follow later, so nothing essential gets squeezed.

  3. Access, data and languages

    We agree which systems we connect to, who grants access, what personal data is involved and which languages the screens need. Where we handle personal data for you, a written data processing agreement comes first.

  4. Build with early releases

    The most important part goes live first, often well before the date, so your team can use it and report problems. Demos are on video and changes are agreed in writing against the quote.

  5. Handover

    You get the code, credentials, documentation and a walkthrough for your staff. Code ownership transfers to you on full payment, as the contract states, and hosting and domains stay in your name. Further work is quoted separately.

Good fit?

When SpiderHunts suits a Newham business, and when it does not

We would rather turn down a project than sell you software you do not need.

A good fit when…

  • Orders, bookings or deliveries are managed by email, phone and spreadsheet
  • You work to fixed dates such as shows, events or seasons
  • Your team or customers would benefit from more than one language
  • You want an app or SaaS product tested with real users before scaling
  • Someone in the business can make decisions and test regularly

Not the right fit when…

  • You need IT support for computers, tills, Wi-Fi or email accounts
  • You expect to drop in and meet the team at the East Ham address
  • An affordable ready-made product already covers the whole need
  • The deadline is days away and the scope is still unclear

Needed a small but technically somewhat difficult task done. Not only did Shahrukh nail the task, but he was also (generously) willing to do it while I waited, despite it being the middle of the night at his time: such incredibly good service and fast response.

FAQ

Questions Newham businesses ask about software development

Straight answers to what people ask us, and what they ask AI assistants, before choosing a software company in east London.

Still have a question?

Ask us directly. A senior engineer reads every question.

Ask about your project

Is SpiderHunts based in Newham?

Only on paper. Our registered office, 182-184 High Street N, Office 14607, London E6 2JA, is in East Ham, which is part of Newham. It is a registered office address only, and nobody from SpiderHunts works there. The whole team works from Lahore, so we do not claim any other presence in the borough. Every meeting with clients takes place on a video call.

Can I visit SpiderHunts or meet the team at the East Ham address?

No. The East Ham address is used for official company post and Companies House records, and there are no staff, desks or meeting rooms there for us. Please do not plan a visit. Instead, every conversation, from the free consultation to the final handover, happens on a video call booked in your working hours, with written notes afterwards so you have a record.

How much does a software development company in Newham charge?

With SpiderHunts, an internal tool or MVP costs £8,000 to £20,000 and a business web application £20,000 to £45,000. Cross-platform mobile apps are £15,000 to £35,000, WooCommerce extensions £8,000 to £25,000, and SaaS products start at £30,000. Platform and modernisation work begins at £45,000. Each project gets a written quote with scope and exclusions agreed up front, after a free consultation.

What should a Newham business check before hiring a software company?

Check the evidence rather than the sales pitch. Look for verified reviews on independent sites (SpiderHunts is rated 4.6 on Clutch), a written quote listing scope and exclusions, a contract that gives you ownership of the code, and references you can call. If you work to a fixed date, ask how the plan protects it. Then book our free consultation and ask us the same.

Does SpiderHunts offer IT services like help desk or network support?

No, we are a software company and do not provide managed IT. There is no help desk, no maintenance of computers, tills, networks or servers, no hardware or cabling work, no Microsoft 365 administration and no on-site visits. Our IT consulting is about software: choosing systems, planning builds, connecting tools, automation and readiness for AI. For everyday IT support, hire a specialist support firm.

Can you build software for an events supplier working at ExCeL?

Yes. Events suppliers often need an exhibitor portal with order deadlines, deposits and confirmations, pick lists for the warehouse, and crew schedules for build-up and breakdown. We plan the work backwards from your next show date and put the essential parts live first. A focused portal usually falls in the £8,000 to £20,000 range, confirmed in a written quote.

Can you build a mobile app for drivers, crews or customers?

Yes. We build cross-platform apps for iOS and Android, typically £15,000 to £35,000, with offline working, photos, signatures, barcode scanning and notifications where needed. Native apps with complex integrations cost £25,000 to £60,000. Driver and proof-of-delivery apps suit logistics firms around Beckton and the docks, while customer ordering and loyalty apps suit Stratford retailers and restaurants.

Can our software work in more than one language?

Yes. Newham's businesses often have staff and customers who prefer different languages, and software can be built with screens, messages and receipts in several of them. We set this up so new translations can be added without rebuilding anything. AI translation can help with customer messages, but for anything important, such as terms or safety instructions, we recommend checking by a fluent speaker.

Do you build SaaS products for founders in Stratford or the Royal Docks?

Yes. SaaS development starts from £30,000 and usually includes sign-up, accounts for each customer organisation, subscription billing, one core workflow and an admin area. We aim for a first release small enough to reach paying users quickly, then improve it from real usage. Your code lives in your own repository from day one, which helps with investors and future hiring.

What AI development services make sense for a small family business?

Small, specific ones. An assistant that drafts replies to common customer questions, a tool that reads supplier invoices into your accounts package, or translation of incoming messages can save hours each week. A person should always check the output before it reaches a customer. On the free call we tell you honestly whether AI, simple automation or no change is the better choice.

Who owns the software once the project is finished?

You own it once the project is paid in full, as written in the contract. The code goes into a repository under your control, and hosting, domains and app store accounts are in your business's name. At handover you receive documentation and every login, so your own staff or another developer can carry on without needing SpiderHunts.

How do meetings and time zones work with a team in Lahore?

Every meeting is a video call booked in your UK working hours. Lahore is five hours ahead of the UK in winter and four hours ahead during British Summer Time, so the team's day covers your morning and early afternoon. Nobody visits in person, at your premises or at our East Ham address. After each call, decisions and next steps are written down and shared.
