Software that carries real business weight

BAK AUTOS LTD designs, builds and maintains software systems for organisations that depend on their tooling every working day. We work across custom applications, cloud infrastructure, integrations and process automation — with documentation and testing treated as part of the product, not an afterthought.

01 — Who we are

An IT company built around delivery

BAK AUTOS LTD is an information technology company. Our work is software: planning it, writing it, testing it, deploying it and keeping it healthy once people rely on it. We take on projects where the software has to fit an existing business rather than the other way round.

Engagements typically begin with a discovery conversation about the work a team is actually doing today — the spreadsheets, the manual handovers, the systems that do not talk to each other. From there we scope something buildable, agree what success looks like, and deliver in reviewable increments so the direction can be corrected early.

We describe what we can do and how we do it. We do not publish outcome guarantees, because the result of any software project depends on decisions and constraints shared between the client and the delivery team.

02 — Capabilities

Core IT services

Six practice areas that are usually combined rather than bought separately. A single engagement often touches development, infrastructure and integration at once.

Custom software development

Applications shaped around a documented business process instead of a generic feature list.

Web application development

Responsive browser-based tools for internal teams, partners or customers.

Cloud and infrastructure

Environment design, deployment pipelines, monitoring and routine maintenance.

Business process automation

Removing repetitive manual steps and connecting the stages of a workflow.

Systems integration

Moving data reliably between applications, platforms and databases.

Quality assurance and testing

Test strategy, automated coverage and release checks built into delivery.

03 — Custom software

Built around requirements, not templates

Off-the-shelf products solve common problems well. The difficulty starts where a business does something specific — an unusual pricing rule, a regulated approval chain, a legacy data format nobody else uses.

  • Requirements captured as written scenarios, reviewed with the people doing the work.
  • Data model and domain logic designed before interface work begins.
  • Incremental releases so stakeholders can use and challenge the software early.
  • Source code, schema documentation and deployment notes handed over with the build.

04 — Web applications

Browser tools people use all day

Internal portals, admin consoles, booking and ordering tools, reporting dashboards. The shared requirement is that they stay fast and legible on a laptop, a tablet and a phone, and remain usable after hours of continuous work.

Interface

Accessible by default

Semantic markup, keyboard-reachable structure and colour contrast checked against WCAG guidance.

Performance

Measured, not assumed

Payload size, rendering strategy and caching decided from real page measurements.

05 — Cloud and infrastructure

Environments that behave predictably

Infrastructure work covers the space between a finished build and a system that runs reliably: how environments are provisioned, how releases reach production, what is monitored, and what happens when something fails at an inconvenient hour.

Environment design

Separated development, staging and production setups.

Deployment pipelines

Repeatable, scripted releases with rollback paths.

Monitoring

Logging, metrics and alerting on the signals that matter.

Maintenance

Patching, dependency updates and capacity review.

06 — Automation

Less re-typing, fewer handovers

Repetitive work is usually visible in the gaps between systems: exporting a file, reformatting it, emailing it onward, then chasing whether it arrived.

Document and data routing

Scheduled transfers, validation and structured error handling.

Approval workflows

Status tracking with a readable history of who did what, and when.

Scheduled jobs

Recurring reports and synchronisations that run without a person present.

Notifications

Targeted alerts when something needs attention, not constant noise.

07 — Integration

Making separate systems agree

Most organisations run several tools that each hold part of the truth. Integration work decides which system owns which field, how often data moves, and what happens when two sources disagree.

  1. 01Map the data: entities, owners, update frequency and known conflicts.
  2. 02Choose a transfer method: API, message queue, scheduled batch or event stream.
  3. 03Handle failure explicitly — retries, dead letters and reconciliation reports.
  4. 04Document the contract so future changes do not silently break the link.

08 — Quality assurance

Testing as part of the build

Quality work is structured rather than improvised. Automated checks cover the logic that must not regress; exploratory testing looks for the problems a test suite was never written to find.

Unit

Isolated logic, run on every change.

Integration

System boundaries and data contracts.

End-to-end

The journeys users actually complete.

09 — Security and reliability

Responsible engineering practice

Security is handled as a set of everyday habits rather than a final review stage. These are practices we apply; they reduce risk and do not amount to a guarantee of compliance or invulnerability.

Access control

Role-based permissions, least privilege, and credentials kept out of source code.

Data handling

Encryption in transit, considered retention, and minimal collection.

Dependencies

Tracked versions and regular review of published vulnerabilities.

Recovery

Backups that are tested, and a written path back from failure.

10 — Delivery

How a project moves

Step 1

Discovery

Understand the process, constraints and the problem worth solving.

Step 2

Planning

Scope, sequence and the definition of a finished increment.

Step 3

Design

Data model, architecture and interface structure.

Step 4

Development

Reviewed code delivered in working slices.

Step 5

Testing

Automated coverage plus exploratory and acceptance checks.

Step 6

Support

Monitoring, fixes and planned improvement after release.

11 — Illustrative scenarios

Examples of the kind of work we describe

The following are illustrative examples written to show how our services apply to common business situations. They are not descriptions of client projects and contain no client data or results.

Scenario A — Order intake

A distributor receives orders by email in inconsistent formats. An intake application could parse submissions, validate them against the product catalogue, flag exceptions for a human, and post confirmed orders to the existing ERP.

Illustrative example

Scenario B — Field reporting

A services team files paper reports that are re-typed at head office. A responsive web application could capture the same information on a phone, work offline briefly, and synchronise records once a connection returns.

Illustrative example

Scenario C — Reporting consolidation

Finance assembles a weekly report by hand from three systems. A scheduled integration could collect the same figures, reconcile identifiers, and publish a single dataset with a visible record of each run.

Illustrative example

12 — Collaboration

How we work with clients

Regular communication

A predictable rhythm of updates in plain language, including the parts that are behind or uncertain.

Transparency

Scope changes, trade-offs and technical debt are raised when they appear, not at handover.

Documentation

Architecture notes, deployment steps and decision records written as the work happens.

Ownership

Code, infrastructure definitions and credentials belong to the client throughout.

13 — FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of projects does BAK AUTOS LTD take on?
Custom business applications, web-based internal tools, integrations between existing systems, automation of repetitive processes, and the cloud infrastructure needed to run them.
Do you work on existing software, or only new builds?
Both. Work on an existing codebase begins with a review of the current structure, dependencies and test coverage so that changes can be made without unexpected side effects.
How is a project scoped?
Through a discovery phase that documents the current process and the intended outcome. Scope is written down, sequenced into increments and revisited as the work progresses.
Who owns the code that is produced?
The client. Source code, infrastructure configuration and documentation are handed over as part of delivery.
How is quality handled?
Automated tests are written alongside features, code changes are reviewed, and releases pass defined checks before deployment. Exploratory testing complements the automated suite.
What happens after a system goes live?
Support arrangements are agreed per engagement and can include monitoring, corrective fixes, dependency updates and planned enhancement work.
Which technologies do you use?
Technology choices follow the requirement rather than a fixed stack, taking into account the systems already in place, the skills of the client team and long-term maintainability.
How can the company be contacted?
By email at [email protected]. Company details are also shown on the Contacts page at bakautos.com/contacts.
