Who You Work with on Your Software Project

On Tyneside we work with founders, product managers and operations directors who want one accountable contact for their software, and a team that explains choices in plain terms.

A Lead Who Owns Delivery

Delivery rests with one named project lead, who answers when you call. Engineers, QA and designers stand behind that lead, which means you get a full team without the effort of hiring it.

Plain Written Updates

After each video or in-person meeting, arranged to suit you, a short written note arrives. It spells out the decisions taken, the changes made and what we need from you next.

Working with Your People

We fit around your product owner, IT staff, in-house developers and any supplier already on the job. Plain documentation, an orderly handover and a shared understanding of user experience (UX) mean your own people can run what we build.

Build, Buy or Modernise? A Plain-English Guide

Before we recommend building anything, we set four routes side by side. Each has a fair case.

Route

Buy Off the Shelf

Selection advice and integration

Pick it when

A common workflow, and a team willing to adapt to the software rather than the reverse.

Trade-off

Limited fit and ongoing licence costs.

Route

Configure a Platform

Configuration and extensions

Pick it when

Largely routine, with edges that need fitting to how you operate.

Trade-off

Platform limits and vendor dependence.

Route

Build Custom

Full custom build

Pick it when

You compete on how you operate, or you have looked and found nothing that suits.

Trade-off

More effort to begin with, in return for ownership of the plan.

Route

Modernise What You Have

Application modernisation

Pick it when

It does the work, but performance, security or the cost of changing it’s a worry.

Trade-off

A code review opens the work, and delivery typically runs in phases.

Not certain which suits you? Bring the problem to a short discovery session.

Security and Quality Checks Built Into Every Build

We build in line with the intent of the NCSC’s eight secure development principles. Concretely, you get the following.

Read the Source

NCSC secure development and deployment guidance →

Peer code review before anything merges

Repository access granted only to those who need it

A secured build and deployment pipeline

Each commit passes through automated tests

Dependency and vulnerability checks

A rollback plan before every release

Plain documents any incoming developer could read and use

Risk-based security testing, planned jointly with your team

What Shapes the Cost of Custom Software

You’ll not find prices here, as cost follows scope and risk. Six levers do most of the work, and a conversation fixes each.

Scope and Users

↑ Costs more when

staff, suppliers and customers all need different roles and views

↓ Costs less when

you start with the core workflow and add the rest later

Integrations

↑ Costs more when

it must talk to older plant, ERP or records systems

↓ Costs less when

suppliers’ systems publish their APIs openly

Data Migration

↑ Costs more when

years of records across spreadsheets and old databases must move

↓ Costs less when

the data set is compact and free of duplicates

Architecture

↑ Costs more when

it processes sensor feeds in real time or serves many tenants

↓ Costs less when

one deployment serves everyone without special scaling

Security and Compliance

↑ Costs more when

it holds patient, client or commercial data under audit

↓ Costs less when

the system keeps low-sensitivity company information only

Support After Launch

↑ Costs more when

sensor feeds or patient bookings depend on it, so help must arrive fast

↓ Costs less when

support is needed on working days only

Hire Software Developers

Choose the model by your stage. A fixed price build suits a startup’s first release, a dedicated team suits adding capacity to your own developers, and time and material suits replacing an old system in steps.

Fixed Price Build

We agree the deliverables, stage gates and total before coding starts. Fits requirements that won’t shift much.

Suits

Time and Material

Charges track hours, and you can change priorities before each sprint begins. Fits products you expect to evolve.

Suits

Dedicated Developers

A permanent squad of developers and QA, with design when needed, works in your tools and sprints. Fits roadmaps with a long horizon.

Suits

How to Choose a Software Development Company

Proposals tend to look alike. These seven questions show how a team behaves from day to day.

Can You Work Alongside Our Own Developers?

Listen for

Yes, and a plan to share tools, daily meetings and code review.

Will You Take Over a Build That Another Supplier Dropped?

Listen for

We audit the code and designs, report what is sound and what is not, and agree a recovery plan in writing before any build begins.

What If Requirements Change Midway?

Listen for

Any change is put in writing, with its effect on time and cost, first.

How Well Do You Collaborate with Our Product Owner and In-House Team?

Listen for

Yes. Our engineers adopt your tools, attend your daily meetings, follow your product owner’s priorities and share code review with your developers.

How Do You Test and Release?

Listen for

Scripted tests, a pre-live environment and a reversal plan.

What Do I Receive at Handover?

Listen for

Full code, written documentation, working environments and how to deploy.

Would You Ever Tell Us to Buy Instead?

Listen for

Yes, along with a candid case for the ready-made option.

How We Run a Software Project

The process has six stages, every one finishing with a result you can review. Bigger jobs take longer.

Discovery

Around a week of workshops covering users, workflows and constraints.

Scoping and Architecture

One to two weeks to deliver a written scope, a technical approach and a quote.

Design and Prototype

About two weeks to build screens people can click through and test.

Sprint Builds

Short sprints, every one finishing with a demo of working software.

Evaluation and QA

Around four weeks of testers probing function, load and security.

Launch and Iterate

We ship, then watch live behaviour and shape the next phase together.

Each stage ends with something you can review.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Does a Software Development Agency in Newcastle Upon Tyne Do?

Such an agency plans, designs, builds, tests and looks after software on a company’s behalf. It also hooks extra tools into the systems you already run and revives projects that have stalled. That keeps accountability with a single team, from the first workshop through release and later support.

Does Syndell Offer Custom Software Development in Newcastle Upon Tyne?

Yes, we do. Companies in Newcastle upon Tyne can work with us on bespoke software development, with meetings on video or in person by arrangement. Explain the process you want to retire or the product you plan to launch, and we’ll propose discovery, a prototype or a full build as the opening step.

Is Off-the-Shelf Software Enough for Us?

Sometimes it is. If your process is standard and a product fits, buying is usually cheaper and faster. If nothing fits, or the process sets you apart, building makes sense. We compare both routes in discovery and say so plainly.

How Much Will Custom Software Cost?

We would rather talk first than guess, since two apps that seem alike can need quite different effort. A free consultation leads to a written quote for a fixed price build, time and material, or a dedicated team, and the quote includes a sprint plan.

When Could a Startup Expect a Working First Version?

It depends on how many features and integrations you need, plus the design effort involved, so each quote lays the work out in phases. An MVP, or lean first version, concentrates on the few features that prove your idea, and early users steer later releases.

Is It Possible to Revive a Project That Has Stalled?

Yes. We audit the inherited code, designs and documents, then give you a plain account of what can be kept and what can’t. You receive a written recovery plan with milestones, so a stalled build restarts on firm ground rather than on guesswork.

Can I Hire Developers for Part of the Work?

Yes. Through our software development services, developers can join for one module, one integration or the length of a long roadmap. Pick fixed price, time and material, or a dedicated team, then add support once released. Your requirements, and how settled they are, usually point to the right model, as does how closely you want to steer.

Do You Support Software Clients Around Tyneside?

Yes. Our clients span Tyneside, including Gateshead, North Tyneside, South Shields and Jarrow, and we meet on video or in person by arrangement. Tell us how things work today, spreadsheets included, and we’ll say what to build first, and which pieces can wait.
