AboutUK and South Africa

A London software consultancy

We design, build and support custom software for financial services firms, online retailers, cannabis businesses and rental companies in the UK and South Africa.

Who we are

BYND is run by Ross Ikin from London, working with clients in the UK and South Africa.

We build CRMs, booking and operations systems, point of sale and Shopify stores. Our working hours overlap both countries.

How we work

  1. 1

    The review

    We spend time with you and your team. We follow a job or a client from first contact to payment and record where time and money are lost. You get a written plan.

  2. 2

    The build

    We build what the review recommends, connect it to the tools you already use and train your team.

  3. 3

    Ongoing support

    A monthly plan covers hosting, support and improvements. Once one part is working well, we move on to the next.

Our commitments

  • Off-the-shelf where it fits

    If an app you can buy does the job, we tell you on the first call and help you set it up.

  • A person approves customer messages

    Drafts and replies follow rules you set. Anything that commits you to a customer is approved by a person first.

  • Your accounts, your data

    Websites, stores, phone numbers and data are held in your name. You can export everything at any time.

  • Fixed scope, fixed price

    Every piece of work is scoped in writing, with a fixed price agreed before it starts.

Talk to us

Every first call starts with how your business runs today. If we are not the right fit, we will tell you and suggest who is.
