Our Work - The Pearl Exchange

Custom booking platform for an arts organisation: a mobile app for customers and a web dashboard for staff.

The Pearl Exchange Web App

Web Admin Dashboard

We built a custom mobile app that made the booking experience a joy for their users and a web app to manage it all—replacing an old set of tools that were outdated and frustrating.

Discovery

We ran workshops with the team to understand what they wanted to achieve and what problems were getting in the way. We talked to their customers to find out what was stopping them from booking and what frustrated them about the current system. Then we observed staff wrestle with their existing systems to see where the real frustrations were.

This gave us a clear picture of what needed to be built.

Delivery

We built a mobile app for iOS and Android, plus a web dashboard to manage it all. AI-native development meant we could move fast and keep costs down.

We tested with real users and staff throughout development—making sure we were building the right thing, not just building things right.

The Result

The Pearl Exchange now has tools that do the job. Their old disconnected systems are gone, replaced by one clean admin dashboard. Their customers get a booking experience that actually works for them.

What is AI-Native Development?

We've figured out where AI works best in the development process. AI handles a lot of the heavy lifting on code writing, while we ensure it produces quality work. This saves significant time and cost. We pass those savings directly to you.

Building the Right Thing

We don't just build what you ask for. We start by understanding your users and validating what's actually worth building—so you invest in solutions that solve real problems, not just ideas that sound good.

Based in the South West

We're in the South West and proud of those roots. Local partnership means working directly with us—no account managers or corporate layers, just genuine collaboration with the people who'll actually understand your business and build your software.

Better User Experiences

Bad user experiences can lose you good business. We build software that is intuitive and professional—the kind that makes people want to use it again.

Simplifying Disconnected Systems

Most businesses end up with multiple tools that don't work well together. We build one clean system that replaces the mess. No more juggling five subscriptions that don't do what you need.

Using AI in Your Business

We use AI throughout our work, so we know where it genuinely helps and where it's expensive hype. We'll help you implement practical AI solutions like automation, data analysis, and system connections that actually improve your business.

Great technology should make life easier.

It's not about building systems that are flashy or addictive. It's about solving real problems that hold you back and creating experiences people actually value.

I like to start every project by not talking about tech at all. Tech's just the tool. What matters is what you're trying to achieve and what's stopping you. Once we know that, we can build the solution.

That's what I enjoy about what I do: partnering with ambitious people to find good ideas and build them.
