Software Engineering & AI Tooling for Crewe and Cheshire Businesses
We're a Crewe-based engineering team. We help local businesses work smarter — with better software, AI tooling, and teams that move fast.
Services for Local Businesses
Software Engineering
Got an app or tool you need built? We scope it clearly, build it fast, and ship production-ready code. No offshore. No ambiguity.
AI Tooling
Practical AI that saves your team real time — automations, assistants, and integrations that reduce the manual grind.
Team Augmentation
We slot into your existing team and accelerate delivery without disrupting what works. Senior engineers, no handholding required.
Workflow Automation
We map your repetitive processes and build automations that actually run reliably — with documentation and support included.
Who We Work With in Cheshire & the Northwest
Straightforward software engineering for businesses that need real results, not agency buzzwords.
"We need a custom system built without agency runaround."
Off-the-shelf software doesn't fit your business, but big city agencies quote six figures, charge by the hour, and assign junior developers.
"Our team is wasting hours on manual paperwork."
Spreadsheets are breaking, staff re-type data across multiple systems, and customer quotes take days instead of minutes.
"I need a working MVP to test the market fast."
You have a validated software idea and need a production-ready application deployed quickly with clean code that you own completely.
Based in Crewe. Meeting Clients Face-to-Face.
We believe the best software starts with a real conversation. We can meet at your offices, grab a coffee in town, or host you at our office at Spring Farm Business Centre. No offshore handoffs — just senior engineers who pick up the phone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Practical answers to common questions about working with a local software engineering partner.
Can you visit our office to discuss our software requirements in person?
Yes. 10Base is based at Spring Farm Business Centre (CW1 4RJ) just outside Crewe. We regularly meet business owners and leadership teams across Cheshire, Manchester, Stoke-on-Trent, and the Northwest for whiteboard sessions and scoping workshops.
We don't have an in-house technical team. How do we explain what we need?
You don't need technical knowledge or formal specifications. You explain your operational bottlenecks or project goals in plain English, and our senior engineers translate them into wireframes, architecture, and a fixed-price delivery plan during our free technical assessment.
How much does bespoke software development cost compared to off-the-shelf subscriptions?
Off-the-shelf SaaS often starts cheap but adds up with monthly per-seat licensing, bolt-on apps, and manual workarounds. 10Base builds bespoke solutions at clear fixed prices (£2,500 discovery sprints, £7,500–£15,000 full production MVPs) with 100% intellectual property ownership and zero per-user subscription fees.
How long does it take from our first meeting to a working system?
Most bespoke internal tools and web applications are delivered in 2 to 6 weeks using modern AI-assisted engineering workflows. Workflow automations and database integrations can often be deployed in days.
Can you integrate with our existing software, databases, or spreadsheets?
Yes. We regularly connect legacy SQL databases, Excel spreadsheets, ERP systems, CRMs (HubSpot, Salesforce), and accounting software (Xero, Sage) into modern, automated web applications and n8n pipelines.
Who owns the source code and data once built?
You own 100% of all source code, database architecture, assets, and documentation from day one upon handover. There is zero vendor lock-in.
