Operations software & internal tools
Admin panels, operations portals, approval workflows and the systems no vendor sells as you need them, built around how your team actually works rather than around a product roadmap.
We are a UK-registered company with a remote engineering team, working with Los Angeles companies: custom software, internal systems, AI and machine learning across media and entertainment, logistics and port operations, aerospace, apparel and healthcare. Calls, demos and reviews are scheduled in your Pacific Time working hours, your systems run in a US cloud region you control, and contracts are in US dollars.
Thanks, that’s with us.
A senior engineer reads every enquiry and will reply as soon as they can.

Technologies we build with
Quick answer
SpiderHunts Technologies is a software and AI development company registered in the United Kingdom, with a registered office in London, working remotely. We have no Los Angeles office, no California entity and nobody on the payroll in the United States. We work with Los Angeles companies remotely: calls and demos scheduled in your Pacific Time working hours, a shared Slack or Teams channel, code in your own repositories, and infrastructure in a US cloud region you control.
Los Angeles is a city of production companies, freight and specialist manufacturing rather than one industry. Most of what we are asked for in Southern California is operational: the system between the platforms you already run, the workflow nobody has automated, the reporting rebuilt by hand every month.
We would rather tell you a problem does not need custom software than sell you a build. If configuration or a better report solves it, we will say so.
What we build
The systems that sit between the platforms you already bought: built on your data, released into your own cloud account.
Admin panels, operations portals, approval workflows and the systems no vendor sells as you need them, built around how your team actually works rather than around a product roadmap.
Rights and royalty tracking, production scheduling, asset management and delivery workflow for studios, post-production houses and streaming teams across Los Angeles.
Container visibility, terminal appointment and drayage scheduling, warehouse and carrier portals, and track-and-trace that merges carrier APIs and EDI into one view of a container’s journey.
Inventory across your store, marketplaces and wholesale, order and returns workflow, and production tracking for apparel and consumer brands whose rules are too specific for a plug-in.
Configuration control, certificate and inspection records tied to the part, supplier quality tracking and compliance evidence for manufacturers and suppliers across the South Bay.
Referral, scheduling, intake and internal reporting tools for health systems and clinics, built to the technical safeguards HIPAA expects and integrated through HL7 or FHIR interfaces.
Extraction from bills of lading, invoices, contracts and rights paperwork, demand and ETA forecasting, anomaly detection in royalty or invoice data, and agents that triage with a person approving.
US-region infrastructure as code, data pipelines and warehouses, CI/CD with review gates and scanning, and monitoring an on-call engineer can actually read at 6am Pacific.
Why it matters
Nobody sets out to run a rights catalogue, a drayage desk or a wholesale order book on spreadsheets. The platform covers most of the job, a gap appears, someone builds a workaround, and the workaround becomes the process.
Building software in Los Angeles?
Tell us what you are trying to fix. We will give you an honest view on whether it needs custom software, and a realistic range if it does.
Examples
Typical problems Los Angeles teams bring to us, and the software that addresses them. Illustrative examples of what we build, not client results.
Which rights are held, for which window and territory, and what is owed to whom - tracked rather than maintained in a workbook by one person.
Aim: answering a rights question in minutes.
Container status, appointments and drayage moves in one view instead of three portals and a phone.
Aim: knowing where a box is without calling.
Cut tickets, production status and wholesale orders connected, so a delay is visible before the customer notices.
Aim: warning the buyer before they chase.
Certificates, build standards and inspection records tied to the part rather than to a shared drive.
Aim: evidence ready before the audit.
One stock position across your store, marketplaces and wholesale, so a unit is not sold twice.
Aim: fewer oversells at peak.
Events, spaces and staff in one schedule, with conflicts visible in planning.
Aim: catching the clash early.
How we work
Short stages with a clear output each time, arranged so the time difference is never the reason something waits a day.
A 30-minute call booked in your Pacific Time working hours. We talk through the problem, the systems involved and the constraints, then send a written quote with scope and exclusions.
We agree which cloud account and US region the work runs in, who grants access to the ERP, TMS or rights systems involved, and whether anything touches biometrics, health or consumer data before code is written.
Work lands in your repository from the start. There is a written update every day and a demo each week, both inside your working hours rather than ours.
Carrier and terminal feeds, ERP interfaces and rights or royalty exports are tackled early, because that is where operational projects usually come unstuck. Automated tests and scans run in the pipeline.
We release in stages with monitoring switched on. Documentation, runbooks and code stay in your accounts and repositories, and ongoing development is quoted separately if you want it.
Clear scope · Regular demos · Full handover
Is it right for you?
We would rather tell you to buy a product or hire a firm in Century City than take on a project that will not work remotely.
Technology
Mainstream languages and platforms, the integration formats Southern California operations actually speak, and deployment into your own US cloud account.
Sectors
Los Angeles runs on media and entertainment, logistics and port operations, aerospace, apparel and healthcare. That mix produces a particular class of software problem: operational data in volume, systems that cannot be switched off, and a regulator or an auditor somewhere in the chain.
FAQ
Common questions from Los Angeles businesses about working with us.
Still have a question?
Ask us directly. A senior engineer reads every question.
Ask about your projectNo. We have no US entity, no California office and nobody on the payroll in the United States. SpiderHunts Technologies Ltd is UK-registered, with a registered office in London, and the whole team works remotely. We work with Los Angeles clients remotely, by video, and schedule calls, demos and reviews in your Pacific Time working hours.
Yes, on the systems around production rather than the creative work itself. That covers rights and royalty tracking, scheduling, asset tracking, delivery requirements and reporting to partners. We work from the tools you already use, whether spreadsheets, a production management platform or a rights database, and build the layer that connects them, so a rights or delivery question is answered from records rather than memory.
Often, depending on what the terminals, carriers and your own systems expose. That is the first thing we establish, because it decides what is actually buildable: some sources offer APIs or EDI, others only a portal or an emailed report. Once the inputs are known, we build container visibility, appointment and drayage scheduling and exception alerts, with retries and reconciliation for feeds that misbehave.
Projects are quoted in pounds sterling and invoiced in US dollars at the rate agreed in the quote, so both sides know the dollar figure before work starts. Invoices are raised by SpiderHunts Technologies Ltd against a written scope with milestones, and we can complete a W-8BEN-E for your accounts payable team. Payment by ACH, wire or card. Your legal team is welcome to work from your own master services agreement rather than ours.
In your accounts, not ours. Los Angeles teams commonly choose Google Cloud us-west2, which sits in Los Angeles, AWS us-west-2 in Oregon or us-west-1 in Northern California, or Azure West US, all on the West Coast. Code goes to your GitHub, GitLab or Azure DevOps. Engineers get named, least-privilege access you can revoke at any time, and production data stays out of development environments unless you ask otherwise.
They shape the design where the law applies to you. The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the CPRA, gives California residents rights to know, delete and correct their personal information, to opt out of its sale or sharing, and to limit use of sensitive data such as biometrics. So we build data inventories, request-handling workflows, consent records and deletion jobs that actually run. Whether and how the law applies is for your counsel.
On the commercial software side, yes: configuration control, certificate and inspection records tied to each part, supplier quality tracking and the evidence an audit asks for. We cannot take work that requires US persons, such as some projects controlled under ITAR or EAR, because our team is not based in the United States. We say so on the first call, so your export-control team can decide what is in scope before anything is shared.
Yes, mostly the operational layer behind the storefront: one stock position across your store, marketplaces and wholesale, order and returns workflow, production and purchase-order tracking for apparel and consumer brands, and reporting that agrees with finance. We usually integrate with Shopify or your existing platform rather than replace it, and we will tell you when an app or a configuration change solves the problem without custom code.
That is usually what we recommend. Los Angeles manufacturers, distributors and brands often run an ERP that is deeply embedded in purchasing and finance, and a rip-and-replace is where most of the money and most of the risk goes. We build the layer above it instead: scheduling, traceability, inventory and reporting that reads live data without a six-figure module. Our note on integrating with an ERP rather than replacing it covers the approach.
We build to the technical safeguards HIPAA expects: encryption in transit and at rest, unique user identity, role-based access, automatic logoff, integrity checks and audit logs of who saw which record. We will not call the result HIPAA-compliant, because compliance covers your policies, training, contracts and physical controls as well as the software. Whether a business associate agreement is needed is a decision for your counsel. Clinical integration is normally through HL7 or FHIR interfaces your own team controls.
You get a written quote after a free scoping call. As typical ranges from our service pages: an internal tool or MVP is £8,000–£20,000 over 4–8 weeks, a business web application £20,000–£45,000 over 2–4 months, and a larger platform or modernisation £45,000–£80,000+ over 3–6 months. A focused machine learning model is £8,000–£25,000 and a single-purpose AI agent £5,000–£12,000. Those are quoted in pounds and invoiced in dollars; cloud and third-party licence costs are separate and stay in your own accounts.
No. We are fully remote, so meetings and day-to-day work happen over video, Slack or Teams and a shared board. Where a project would normally open with an on-site workshop, we run it as two or three shorter video sessions in your Pacific Time working hours instead, which works better over video than one long day does.
