Custom systems, integrations and app builds for UK businesses that have outgrown the spreadsheet. Written in Huddersfield. Documented well enough that your next developer will not need us.
A six-person software firm on the eastern edge of Huddersfield.
Nextzpmsoft is run by Zpm Solutions Ltd. Dan started it in 2019, after a year spent unpicking a stock system for a manufacturer in Brighouse. The original developer had gone quiet. There were no tests, no notes, and one man in Leeds who half-remembered how the pricing rules worked.
It took eleven weeks to make a change that should have taken an afternoon. That job decided what this one would be.
Most of this trade bills for the build and goes quiet at handover. We think the handover is the product. So we write the documentation first and bill it as a deliverable, not as admin.
Every project ends with a walkthrough for your own team and a repository they can read without us in the room. Nine of our fifty-one builds have been rescues of somebody else's work, which is the other half of the same argument.
We turn down work we could not still support in three years' time. It costs us jobs every quarter. It is the only thing that makes the sentence above worth anything.
The studio, mid-review. Diagrams on paper before anything reaches an editor.
01
Six people
Two on back-end, two on front-end, one designer, and one who takes the awkward jobs nobody volunteers for.
02
Since 2019
Fifty-one projects finished. Nine of them were somebody else's code before they were ours.
03
Based in HD5
Clients in Leeds, Manchester and Sheffield. One in Aberdeen who has never once come down.
04
No account layer
Whoever quotes your job writes it. You will have the developer's name and their direct line.
What we take on
Six kinds of work, and a number against each one.
Tap the ones that sound like your problem — they will tick themselves in the enquiry form further down.
01
Custom web applications
The system the business actually runs on: orders, stock, jobs, rotas, quotes. Built around your process rather than bent to fit a template's.
from £8,500Select
02
Websites & content platforms
Marketing sites, product catalogues and editorial builds, with an admin your staff can use on a Tuesday morning without ringing us.
from £3,200Select
03
Mobile apps
iOS and Android. One codebase where that is honest, two where it isn't — we will tell you which before you commit.
from £14,000Select
04
Integrations & APIs
Getting your accounts package talking to the warehouse, the till talking to the stockroom, and both of them talking to the thing you bought last year that speaks to nothing.
from £4,800Select
05
Legacy rescue
Someone else's code, no documentation, nobody left who wrote it. We map it, cover it in tests, then make it safe to change. Nine done so far.
from £6,500Select
06
Technical consultancy
Architecture reviews, technical due diligence, and second opinions before you sign a six-figure contract with somebody else.
from £850 a daySelect
Every figure is a starting point. The price is fixed in writing after the scoping call and never after work has begun. Ongoing support and maintenance runs from £550 a month.
How the work runs
Four stages, and you can leave after the second.
01
Scoping call
Ninety minutes, no charge, with the person who would write the code. You leave with a scope and a number, not a brochure.
02
A written scope
A document detailed enough to hand to another firm. Some clients have. We would rather lose the job here than at the end of it.
03
Build in fortnights
Something working every two weeks on a URL you can open from your phone. No demo days, no theatre, no progress bars.
04
Handover
Written documentation, a walkthrough with your own team, and thirty days in which you can ask anything at all for nothing.
End of a fortnight. Whatever is on the screen goes on a URL the client can open.
Next step
Tell us what it has to do.
Then we will tell you what it costs, in writing, before anybody opens an editor. If it is not work we can support in three years, we will say so on the call and point you somewhere better.
Write down what is going wrong now and what it costs you. We will come back within one working day with either a scoping call or an honest referral.
Thank you — that has reached us. You will hear back from one of the six of us within one working day, and it will be a person, not an automation.

Data you give us by email or telephone when you contact us directly.
A single cookie recording whether you accepted or declined cookies on this website.
We do not collect special category data, and we do not ask for payment details through this website.
4. Legal basis for processing (Article 6, UK GDPR)
Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) — responding to an enquiry you have sent us, and running our business correspondence. Our interest is in answering people who contact us; we consider this has no material effect on your rights.
Performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b)) — where your enquiry leads to a proposal or engagement.
Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)) — where we must keep records for tax or accounting purposes.
Consent (Article 6(1)(a)) — for any non-essential cookie, which is only set if you choose Accept.
5. What we use it for
To reply to your enquiry, to prepare a scope or quotation, to carry out work you engage us for, and to keep the records the law requires of us. We do not use your data for profiling or automated decision-making, and we do not send marketing to people who have only made an enquiry.
6. How long we keep it
Enquiries that do not become work: 12 months from your last message, then deleted.
Client project correspondence and contracts: 6 years after the engagement ends, which is the period relevant to contractual claims in England & Wales.

The cookie choice: 12 months, or until you clear your browser storage.
7. Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal data and we do not share it for anyone else's marketing. We share it only with our email and business hosting providers acting as processors under written terms, with our accountants where a record is relevant, and with a public authority where we are legally required to.
8. Transfers outside the UK
Our email and hosting suppliers may process data outside the UK. Where that happens we rely on UK adequacy regulations or the International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU standard contractual clauses. You may ask us for details of the safeguards in place.
9. Security
Access to enquiry data is limited to the members of staff who need it. Accounts are protected by multi-factor authentication and devices are encrypted at rest.

To exercise any of these, email [email protected]. We will respond within one month.

Terms & Conditions
Last updated: 22 August 2026
1. Who you are contracting with
These terms are between you and Zpm Solutions Ltd, registered in England & Wales under company number 17307030, registered office 47 Highcroft Crescent, Huddersfield, HD5 8NF. Contact: [email protected], +44 7473 992 425. In these terms, "we", "us" and "our" mean Zpm Solutions Ltd; "this website" means the website published at nextzpmsoft.uk.
2. Scope
These terms cover your use of this website and any enquiry you make through it. Work we carry out for you is governed by a separate written engagement letter and scope document, which takes precedence over these terms where the two differ.
3. Services offered
We provide custom software development, website and content platform builds, mobile application development, systems integration and API work, legacy system modernisation, and technical consultancy.
4. How work is commissioned
Nothing is ordered or paid for on this website. You send an enquiry through the form, by email, or by telephone. We then hold a scoping call, issue a written scope and a fixed price, and work begins only once you have accepted that scope in writing. Prices shown on this website are indicative starting points and are not offers capable of acceptance.
5. Prices and quotations
A quotation is valid for 30 days from issue unless it states otherwise. Prices are quoted exclusive of VAT where VAT applies. Additional work outside an agreed scope is quoted separately and started only on your written approval.
6. Payment terms
No payment is taken through this website. We invoice after the engagement is agreed, normally in staged payments against the milestones in the scope. Invoices are payable within 14 days by bank transfer. We may charge statutory interest on late payment under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 where the client is a business.
7. Your responsibilities
You agree to give us the access, information, content and decisions the scope depends on, and to nominate one person who can approve work. Delays caused by outstanding approvals move the delivery dates by the same period.
8. Cancellation and the right to cancel (consumers)
If you are a consumer rather than a business, you have the right to cancel a contract made at a distance within 14 days of entering it, without giving a reason, under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. Tell us by email at [email protected]. If you asked us to start work within that period, you must pay for what we have already done, in proportion to the whole contract. Business clients may cancel at any time in writing and pay for work completed and irrevocably committed to that date.
9. Refunds
Where a cancellation right applies and no work has begun, we refund in full within 14 days of being told, by the same method used to pay. Where work has begun, we refund the balance after deducting the value of work already carried out. If we cannot deliver an agreed milestone, you may reject it and we will either correct it at our cost or refund that milestone.
10. Intellectual property
On full payment, the copyright in the bespoke code and designs written specifically for you transfers to you. Third-party components, open-source libraries and any pre-existing tools of ours remain with their owners and are licensed to you for use in the delivered work. Content and materials on this website remain ours.
11. Warranty and defects
We will carry out the services with reasonable care and skill as required by the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982. We correct defects reported within 30 days of handover at no charge where they arise from our work.
12. Liability
We do not exclude or limit liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that may not lawfully be limited. Subject to that, our total liability for any engagement is limited to the fees paid under it, and we are not liable for loss of profit, loss of business or loss of data that was not backed up in accordance with our written advice. Nothing here affects the statutory rights of a consumer.
13. Confidentiality and data
We keep your commercial information confidential and use it only to carry out the work. Where we process personal data on your behalf we do so under a written processing agreement. Our handling of your own personal data is described in the Privacy Policy.
14. Complaints, governing law and jurisdiction
Please raise any complaint by email in the first instance to [email protected]; we respond within five working days. These terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
15. Changes
We may update these terms. The version in force is the one published on this website on the date of your enquiry.
