IT consulting & software development
Senior engineers who design, build and run the software behind your business: full-stack web, AWS and Azure cloud, practical AI and automation, Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Kajabi.
Technologies we work with
What we do
Eight core services, one senior team. Engage us for a single specialism or the full journey.
Fast, accessible web apps and APIs built with React, Next.js, Node.js and TypeScript, engineered to scale with your product.
Secure, cost-aware AWS architecture, from serverless APIs to container platforms, plus migrations that don’t keep you up at night.
Azure platforms that fit the Microsoft ecosystem you already run: App Service, Functions, AKS, Entra ID and hybrid setups.
Docker, CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code that turn shipping software into a routine, low-risk event.
Independent, senior technical advice: architecture reviews, audits, modernisation roadmaps and fractional CTO support.
Implementation, customisation, integration and support for Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform, including NAV / AX upgrades.
Custom Kajabi themes, funnels, integrations and migrations for course creators, coaches and online businesses.
Practical AI inside the software you already run: LLM features, assistants, Copilot and Power Platform automation, and the data work underneath.
Tell us about the problem. We’ll recommend the right approach, even if that isn’t us.
AI & Automation
Applied AI for real business work: answers from your own documents, assistants with human approval, Copilot and Power Platform automation, and the data foundations underneath.
Answers from your own documents, first drafts in seconds and less time spent searching.
Routine questions answered at any hour, with people approving anything that matters.
Invoices, approvals and routine requests handled in the Microsoft tools your team already uses.
One trusted view of the numbers, plus forecasts that help you plan stock, staff and cash.
A clear, prioritised plan for where AI will pay off, and where it won’t.
Our approach
AI output can be wrong, so we design for that: people review what matters, data stays protected and limitations are stated openly.
Human oversight
Suggestions that affect customers, money or records are approved by a person, and every automated action is logged.
Data privacy
We aim for no training on your data by default, least-privilege access and minimal retention, confirmed per project.
Transparency
Interfaces say when content is AI-generated, show sources where possible and are honest about what the system can’t do.
Technologies
We choose tools for reliability, hiring-friendliness and long-term support, then use them well. Highlighted technologies have their own pages.
Specialisations
Alongside our core engineering work, we specialise in two platforms where our engineering-first approach makes the biggest difference.
Specialisation · ERP & CRM
Implementation, customisation and support for Business Central, Finance and Operations, Sales, Customer Service and the Power Platform, delivered with engineering rigour.
Specialisation · Creator platforms
Custom themes, high-converting funnels and smart integrations for course creators, coaches and online businesses who have outgrown templates.
Industries
Common challenges and practical solutions for the industries we work with most.
Modern ERP, shop-floor apps and reporting for one connected view of operations.
Order, inventory and warehouse systems that stay in sync, with smart automation.
Fast storefronts, connected back offices and support that scales with sales.
Client portals, workflow automation and knowledge tools for firms that sell expertise.
Kajabi and custom learning platforms, integrations and automation for educators.
Administrative and operational systems for clinics, labs and life-science firms.
Why Black Panther
We keep teams small and experienced on purpose. It’s the fastest way to deliver software that works and keeps working.
The people who scope your project are the people who build it. No bait-and-switch to a junior bench after the contract is signed.
Weekly demos, a shared board and plain-English status updates. You always know what’s done, what’s next and what it costs.
Least-privilege access, dependency scanning, secrets hygiene and secure defaults are part of every build, never an afterthought.
Everything defined as code, automated and observable, so your systems are repeatable, scalable and cheap to run.
We measure success by business results (faster workflows, more conversions, lower costs), not by hours billed or tickets closed.
How we work
Five clear stages, with working software and honest updates at every step.
Week 1
We dig into your goals, users, constraints and existing systems, then agree on scope, success metrics and risks up front.
Weeks 1–2
Architecture, user flows and a delivery plan you can review. Key decisions are documented so nothing is lost.
Iterative
Short iterations with working software every sprint, automated tests and a live staging environment you can click through.
Go-live
Automated, repeatable releases with monitoring and rollback plans, so launch day is calm rather than chaotic.
Ongoing
Hypercare after launch, then optional retainers for improvements, updates and peace of mind.
Featured work
A selection of the kinds of engagements we deliver across web, cloud, ERP and creator platforms.
A B2B software start-up in the logistics sector
A secure, multi-tenant analytics product built on Next.js and Node.js and deployed on AWS, taking the client from prototype to paying customers.
An established online coaching brand
A custom Kajabi theme and conversion-focused funnel that made a coaching academy look premium and load quickly.
A manufacturing business
Upgrading a heavily customised Dynamics NAV system to Dynamics 365 Business Central, with Power Automate approvals and Power BI reporting.
Representative engagements. Client names and some details are withheld or illustrative.
Our commitments
Simple promises that make working together predictable.
A written scope, assumptions and estimate before work starts, with any change agreed in writing.
Working software demonstrated at the end of every iteration, not just status reports.
Your repositories and cloud accounts from day one.
Happy to sign an NDA before detailed discussions. Your code, data and plans stay private.
Least-privilege access, secrets in a vault, dependency scanning and review of every change.
If something isn’t a good fit for us, or doesn’t need building at all, we’ll tell you.
FAQ
Engagement models, timelines, pricing and working across time zones. Anything else, just ask.
Three common ways: a fixed-scope project for a well-defined piece of work, a monthly retainer for ongoing development and support, or a dedicated team working inside your roadmap. Many clients start with a small, fixed-scope engagement and continue from there.
It depends on scope. Reviews and small automations can take a few weeks; a first release of a web application or a Dynamics 365 implementation usually takes a few months. After discovery you get a written estimate with ranges and the assumptions behind it.
Fixed price for well-defined scopes, and time and materials with an agreed monthly budget for work that will evolve. Either way, you see the estimate, the assumptions and progress against budget throughout.
Our working hours run from 9:00 AM to 1:00 AM IST, which covers the full UK and European working day and the morning in North America. We agree regular meeting times, share progress in writing and keep a shared board, so nothing waits on a time zone.
You get a named senior lead, a shared board, a short written update every week and a demo of working software at the end of each iteration. We use your preferred tools, usually Microsoft Teams or Slack, plus email.
Every project includes two weeks of hypercare after go-live for fixes and adjustments. After that you can choose an optional support retainer with agreed response times, or take over fully using the documentation we hand over.
You do. Code lives in your repositories from the start. We don’t use proprietary frameworks that tie you to us.
Yes. We work with founders building a first product and with established organisations modernising systems or adding AI. How we engage changes; the senior-led approach doesn’t.
