AI that delivers what you need
Cycl™ designs and builds digital systems around your exact workflows, at a fraction of traditional software costs.
The problem
You're running your business on workarounds. Manual processes that eat your time. Systems that don't talk to each other. Key knowledge trapped in people's heads.
You know you should modernise. You just can't afford the time, cost, or risk of a traditional software project. And you're tired of hearing about AI without seeing what it can actually do for a business like yours.
What is Cycl?
Most businesses face a choice between two kinds of software. Neither quite works.
Traditional bespoke software fits your business exactly. But it takes six months to deliver, starts with an upfront build fee of around £60,000, and carries ongoing support costs on top.
Off-the-shelf SaaS is cheap and available immediately. But it's built for every business, so it fits none. You pay for features you'll never use, and shape your processes around the software instead of the other way round.
Cycl is a third way. Built like bespoke. Paid like SaaS. Delivered in weeks.
| Traditional bespoke | Off-the-shelf SaaS | cycl. | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | ~£96K over 3 years | Varies by plan | Around a third of traditional |
| Payments | ~£60K upfront, ~£12K/year support | Monthly or annual subscription | Monthly or annual subscription |
| Delivery | Six months | Immediate | Live in weeks |
| Fit | Built for your business | Built for every business, fits none | Built for your business |
| Changes | A new project, months of delivery | Wait for the vendor | Scoped as an extension, live in weeks |
| Hosting and support | Extra, ongoing | Included | Included |
A third of the cost. Live in weeks. Built to the shape of your business, not someone else's.
How it works
In your words, not ours. No jargon. No technical documents. Just tell us what you need your business to do better.
Verified with you before anything gets built. If anything could be read two ways, we catch it here, not after the money's spent.
On a simple subscription. Every feature, every workflow, every detail. Exactly as you described it. No interpretation. No surprises. We host it, maintain it, and evolve it as your business changes.
If it's not what you described, we fix it. That's not a policy. It's how the technology works.
What you get
A discovery exercise that produces an interactive prototype of your solution. Features, workflows, and user interface agreed up front. You know exactly what you're getting before the subscription starts.
One subscription. No six-figure project. No budget that doubles halfway through. You pay a manageable monthly cost and get systems that actually work, delivered continuously as your business needs them.
Off-the-shelf SaaS and ERP platforms charge you for hundreds of features you'll never touch. Cycl™ is different. You subscribe to exactly the features you need, maintained and updated as your business evolves. No shelfware. No waste.
Start with one system. Add more as you need them. Each one fits with the last because they're all designed from the same understanding of your business.
