Bespoke software by subscription

Turning new ideas into working software.

Tell us what the software is worth to you each month. We build it, host it and keep it running, with no upfront development fees. Prefer to own it outright? We build that too.

From idea

to launch, end to end
Two ways to work with us

Pay monthly, or own it outright

Most software projects start with a large upfront bill. Ours don’t have to. Every arrangement is agreed with each customer, so choose the model that suits your business, and if you’re not sure, we’ll help you decide.

No upfront development fees

Software by subscription

One monthly subscription. We build it, host it and keep it running.

Tell us what the software is worth to your business each month. If we can build it for that, we build it, host it and maintain it, all for one monthly subscription. You get the software without the upfront bill.

No upfront development fees

Hosting, maintenance and support included

One predictable monthly cost

Term, notice and ownership agreed with you

One-off project

Bespoke build

We design and build it, then hand it over to you.

Prefer to pay for the build and run the software yourself? We take on bespoke projects to a fixed scope or on a flexible basis, and we’re just as keen to do this kind of work.

Fixed-scope or flexible projects

Code ownership agreed with you upfront

Clean, tested, documented code

Support after launch if you want it

What we do

Software services, end to end

Whether you’re starting from a sketch on the back of an envelope or modernising a system that’s held you back for years, we can build it, by subscription or as a one-off project.

Bespoke software

Applications built around how your business actually works – not the other way round.

Web & mobile apps

Fast, accessible web platforms and mobile apps your customers will enjoy using.

Cloud & DevOps

Migrations, infrastructure as code and CI/CD pipelines that make shipping routine and safe.

AI & automation

Practical AI and workflow automation that takes repetitive work off your team and helps you make better decisions.

Integrations & APIs

Connect the systems you already rely on so data flows where it is needed, reliably.

Technical consulting

Architecture reviews, roadmaps and hands-on guidance to take the risk out of your next big decision.

Support

We launch it and stay on hand to support and improve it – long after day one.

About NISS

A small team with big-company experience

New Idea Software Services Limited was founded on a simple belief: every business has ideas that software could unlock, but too many of them never make it off the whiteboard.

We work as an extension of your team – senior engineers who listen first, explain clearly and take ownership of the outcome. No handing you over to juniors, just dependable software delivered with care.

Ideas that ship

Good ideas only matter once they are in users’ hands. We put delivery first.

Plain speaking

No jargon, no surprises – honest estimates and transparent progress.

Built to last

Clean, tested, documented software that is easy to maintain and grow.
