Building the technology that powers SMEs

Screen Engineering was set up to tackle the disparity smaller businesses face accessing technology.

Despite SMEs being the backbone of the economy, making up 99.9% of all private businesses in the UK, they face significant hurdles when it comes to getting hold of tech that meets their needs.

Incumbent providers have tended to focus on larger enterprises, often pricing out smaller businesses. This leaves SMEs turning to freelance and offshore developers and in doing so exposes them to risks related to quality, security, functionality, adaptability, maintainability, availability, scalability, and a lack of ongoing support.

This matters because SMEs play a vital role in helping to sustain local communities, yet If they are unable to compete with larger organisations and meet customer expectations, in an increasingly digital world, SMEs will struggle to thrive.

How we tackle these challenges.

One way of enabling SMEs to do better, is to ensure they have access to the same high-quality technology that larger firms have come to expect as standard.

We know that with the right technology SMEs do better and in turn are able to invest more into the communities they operate in.

Using our expertise working with large enterprises and having developed innovative methods of working, we make it possible to provide SMEs with digital solutions without the cost barriers.

Working closely with SMEs, Screen Engineering has developed digital solutions that are designed specifically with their needs in mind and that can cater for the changing demands of business that grow from small to medium sized.

Who we work with.

We support the smallest of businesses, from startup concepts and sole traders, through to medium sized enterprises with more complex needs.

How we are different.

We don’t just build software, we partner with you to help you identify and solve problems.

You will work with people who are experienced in business operations and the use of technology to help businesses succeed. They will look at the whole picture and make recommendations that meet your needs now and in future.

This approach means you won’t need to keep investing in new solutions as your needs change.

We don’t make sales and don’t have a sales team. Our aim is to build lasting relationships that support your success. Our people come equipped with wide ranging experience and are adept at tackling business challenges, which means you benefit from having a true partner and independent sounding board.

This simple approach enables us to deliver better products that solve real problems.

Your success is our mission.

There are plenty of off-the-shelf solutions and they can be useful and have their place, but they can also restrict small businesses as they grow. 

Our solutions are designed to meet your needs now and in the future. We expect your business to be successful and your needs to change over time and so having identified common problems faced by our clients, we have developed solutions that will scale with you, are highly configurable, and can be adapted.

Because we build trusted relationships that last and the services we offer respect your changing needs, we are there to help you at every milestone. Be it configuring an off-the-shelf solution like Shopify when you are just starting out, or laying the foundations for success with one of our starter products, through to meeting your hyper specific needs as your business becomes larger and more complex.

Our people are here to do the right thing, we live our values of honesty and integrity and only make recommendations that we believe are in your best interest. This also means we act as your critical friend, helping you recognise that as your business grows, expectations change.

You can speak with us about problems, challenges, or opportunities, we are always here to listen and advise. Talk now
