Home/Bespoke software

Bespoke software, shaped to how you work.

When off-the-shelf software stops fitting, we build what you actually need: web apps, iPhone apps, internal tools and integrations. Fixed-price phases, and you own the code.

What we build

From a single tool to a whole platform.

Web applications

Customer portals, booking and quoting systems, dashboards and back-office tools in React, Next.js and Astro, hosted on Cloudflare and AWS.

iPhone & iPad apps

Native Swift and SwiftUI apps, including LiDAR room scanning, offline use, in-app purchases and sync with the web.

Integrations

Connect the tools you already use: accounting, CRM, payments, email and your own databases, so data is entered once.

Systems & data

Fast, reliable back ends in Rust, Go and Postgres, with queues, APIs and monitoring built in.

AI on your terms

Practical AI features, including models running locally on Apple Silicon with MLX so your data stays with you.

LilaCRM connected

Anything we build can sync customers, jobs and data with LilaCRM.

Case study

AeroCalc Pro: scan the room, size the system.

A native iPhone app and web app for heating and cooling engineers. Point the phone at a room and LiDAR measures walls, windows and doors, then the app works out heat loss to BS EN 12831-1, radiator sizes and cooling loads to CIBSE Guide A.

Rooms sync to the web, the whole team and the customer's job in LilaCRM.

How it works

Fixed-price phases, no surprises.

Discover

A call to understand the problem, the people using it and what success looks like.

Prototype

A clickable prototype you can try before any real build starts.

Build

Fixed-price phases with working software at the end of each one.

Support

Hosting, updates and new features on a monthly plan if you want it.

Questions

Software questions, answered.

What kind of bespoke software does Lila Development build?

Web apps, native iPhone and iPad apps, internal tools, customer portals, integrations between the systems you already use, and AI that runs on your own hardware.

How much does bespoke software cost?

We work in fixed-price phases. After a short discovery call we agree the first phase and its price, so you always know the cost before work starts.

Do I own the code?

Yes. You own the code and the data, and you can take it elsewhere at any time.

Do you build iPhone apps with LiDAR?

Yes. AeroCalc Pro, our HVAC app, uses the iPhone LiDAR scanner to measure rooms, windows and doors and fill in heat loss and cooling calculations.

Which technologies do you use?

Swift and SwiftUI for Apple platforms; React, Next.js and Astro for the web; Cloudflare Workers and AWS for hosting; Rust, Go and Postgres for systems; MLX for local AI on Apple Silicon.

Can you connect my software to LilaCRM?

Yes. Apps we build can sync customers, jobs and data with LilaCRM, as AeroCalc Pro does.
