Custom Software Development From Empiric Infotech LLP
Empiric Infotech LLP is a software development agency for companies in the UK, Ireland and across Europe that need bespoke software: systems built around their own processes, customers and data rather than bent out of an off-the-shelf package. We build procurement and ordering platforms, customer portals, internal operations tools, integrations, mobile apps and AI features, through a remote developer, or a small dedicated team, who works full time on your project and stays with it after launch. The shared day is long enough to work as one team. Your developer overlaps 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM BST with the UK and 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM CEST with Central Europe, so planning, pairing and same-day fixes happen live. Bespoke software in Europe has to respect GDPR and UK GDPR, meet the European Accessibility Act where it serves consumers in the EU, handle VAT correctly and often run in more than one language. Our European work includes BPM, a bilingual procurement platform for a German client, B2B Medusa, a headless ordering system for a client in Poland, and MarketPlace Monitor for a UK client. We act as your processor under a DPA with Standard Contractual Clauses for EU data and the UK Addendum for UK data, and a senior team lead reviews and tests every release.
What our bespoke software development delivers for UK and European companies
Software that fits how your business runs in Europe, maintained by the developer who built it.
Platforms built around your process
Procurement, ordering, tendering, scheduling and approval workflows with a separate portal for each type of user, strict data separation between them and an audit trail of every decision. BPM, built for a German client, runs IT maintenance tenders this way.
GDPR in the data model
Personal data mapped field by field, retention and deletion rules written as code, access and export requests your support team can run, and a processing record your DPO can sign off. Hosted in the EU or UK region you choose.
Accessibility for the European Accessibility Act
WCAG 2.1 AA in forms, tables and dashboards, the level the European standard EN 301 549 is built on, checked with automated tests and a manual pass before each release, so software that serves EU consumers is ready for the Act.
Languages, currencies and VAT
Interfaces in English, German, French, Dutch or Spanish, prices in EUR and GBP, VAT by customer location with VIES checks behind B2B reverse-charge invoices, and SEPA or Bacs Direct Debit for recurring payments.
Integrations with European systems
DATEV and Lexoffice for German accounting, Exact for the Netherlands, Xero and Sage in the UK, plus HubSpot, Pipedrive, Microsoft 365 and Slack, connected with queues and retries so a failed sync raises an alert instead of losing data quietly.
AI features within European rules
Document processing, assistants and search over your own records, with personal data kept out of model training, EU-hosted model endpoints where needed, and clear labelling when users talk to an AI, in line with the EU AI Act's transparency rules.

How a bespoke software engagement starts for UK and European teams
A developer on your backlog in week one, with GDPR paperwork done before any access to personal data.
A call while you are at your desk
Thirty minutes in your working day, UK or Central European time. You explain the process or product, the systems involved, the users and the deadline that matters.
Scope, DPA and an introduction
Within 24 hours you get a short written scope and meet one developer who fits your stack. The NDA, the IP assignment and a DPA with Standard Contractual Clauses, plus the UK Addendum for UK clients, are signed before work starts.
A trial week inside your standups
Your developer starts within 48 hours, joins your standups live and ships reviewed work on a real task. On day 7 you decide, and a full refund applies if the fit is wrong.
Monthly invoices in EUR
Paid by SEPA, wire or card, with VAT handled through the reverse charge. Seven days' notice to stop, and a second developer or a UI/UX designer whenever the roadmap needs one.
Bespoke software development pricing for UK and European companies
Choose monthly for a full-time developer on a roadmap that keeps moving, 160 to 172 hours billed upfront, or hourly for a defined piece of work such as one integration or a GDPR clean-up. Both are invoiced in EUR with the reverse charge, and a senior team lead reviews and tests the work on either. No setup or recruitment fees and no employer contributions.
Hourly plan
- A dedicated developer, exclusive to you while you have hours booked
- Pay as you go - billed by the hour, time tracked, a weekly report
- Best for short, defined work; no monthly commitment
- Code review and pre-delivery testing by a senior lead, built in
Monthly plan
- A dedicated developer, full-time and exclusive - 160-172 hours a month
- The best value for an ongoing engagement
- Your repo, your cloud account, your tools
- Code review and pre-delivery testing by a senior lead on every release
- 7-day risk-free trial, monthly billing, cancel with 7 days notice
Dedicated team
- A dedicated team - developers plus a senior team lead who reviews and tests every release
- Add a developer (and a designer where the build needs UI/UX work) at the same rate
- Best for long-term, multi-track work; add a developer in 48 hours, no re-contracting
The first 90 days of bespoke software development with a UK or European team
Most of this happens live, inside your working day.
- Week 1
Paperwork first, then code
The DPA and NDA are signed, access is granted, a local environment runs, and one reviewed pull request is merged. Day 7 is the trial decision.
- Month 1
The core workflow and a data map
The most important process live for real users, and a written map of the personal data it holds, who can reach it and how long it stays, ready for your DPO.
- Month 2
Languages, VAT and integrations
A second interface language, VAT and payment handling for each market, or the accounting and CRM connections your teams rely on, each shipped with tests.
- Month 3
Accessibility, security and the next quarter
A WCAG 2.1 AA review of the main screens, access control and logging checked against what an ISO 27001 auditor samples, and the next quarter planned together.
A remote dedicated developer vs a UK or European software house, a day-rate contractor, or an in-house hire
| Empiric Infotech (remote dedicated developer) | UK or European software house (fixed bid) | Day-rate contractor | In-house hire | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing | A flat monthly fee per developer, or hourly for defined work; invoiced in EUR | A fixed bid per phase; changes are re-quoted | A day rate per contractor, often through an agency | Salary, employer social contributions, pension and equipment |
| Time to start | 48 hours | Weeks of proposals and contracts | Days to weeks, after their notice to another client | Months, plus a notice period at their current employer |
| GDPR | Processor under a DPA with Standard Contractual Clauses + UK Addendum; data in your region | Per agency contract | Often informal unless you draft a DPA | Your own policies and DPO |
| VAT | No VAT on our invoice; reverse charge on your side | Local VAT added | VAT added if registered | Not applicable |
| Languages and accessibility | Multilingual interfaces and WCAG 2.1 AA built in | Often quoted separately | Depends on the contractor | Depends on your team |
| Ending the arrangement | Seven days' notice | Per contract, often tied to project phases | Per contract | Statutory notice and employment protections |
| After the first release | The same developer keeps building | A support contract, often with a different team | Ends with the contract | The team stays, if they stay |

Why UK and European companies choose a dedicated developer for bespoke software
Bespoke software pays off over years, not at launch. The first version settles the core process; the value comes from the changes after it, as your business, your customers and the rules you work under move. A software house that bids a fixed phase is built for that first version. An in-house hire keeps the knowledge, but in London, Dublin, Munich or Amsterdam the search and the notice period can take months.
A dedicated developer from Empiric Infotech keeps the knowledge without the hiring cycle. With five to seven hours of shared time, they plan with you in the morning, pair with your team when a change is tricky and fix production issues the day they appear. Most UK and European clients run the developer like any other team member, without the employer contributions or the statutory notice.
We have built software since 2020: 375+ projects for 200+ clients in 25+ countries, including Germany, Poland and the UK. We work as your processor under a DPA, inside your cloud account in the region you choose. You own the code from day one, a senior team lead reviews and tests every release, and seven days' notice ends the engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Software designed and built for one organisation's processes, customers and data, instead of adapting an off-the-shelf package.
