What we build

Practical software, built around
how your team actually works.

All solutions
01

Workflow automation

Approvals, reminders, reporting, data entry, handoffs between teams. We take the repeatable steps off your team's plate.

02

Custom web applications

Internal tools built around how your team already works, instead of forcing a generic template on them.

03

Data aggregation & reporting

Pull data from the systems you already use into clear dashboards and reports your team will actually open.

04

Systems integration

Connect existing tools, databases, and forms so information moves reliably — without spreadsheet exports or manual reconciliation.

Why Zano

A small studio. A close working relationship.

We work best with clients who want a hands-on partner, not a faceless agency. The best tools often feel simple once they're in place. That's usually the goal.

01

You talk to the people building it

No account managers between you and the engineers. Decisions get made in the same conversation.

02

Small scope, fast feedback

We ship usable pieces early so you can react to real software, not slide decks.

03

Built for your workflow, not a template

We start by learning how the work happens now, including the shortcuts and workarounds people rely on.

04

Plain-language communication

Honest trade-offs, no jargon. We'll tell you when software isn't the answer.

05

Comfortable with detail-sensitive work

Auditability, controlled change, and structured records are part of how we think.

06

Maintainable code you can grow with

Clean architecture, sensible documentation, and a clear path for whoever takes it forward.

Where we tend to help

The kinds of problems we keep being asked to solve.

Most projects combine a few of these. If something on this list sounds painfully familiar, there's a good chance we can help.

01

Automating manual reporting

02

Replacing fragile shared spreadsheets

03

Internal operations dashboards

04

Connecting forms, databases, and tools

05

Workflow & approval trackers

06

Notifications and operational handoffs

07

Structured records for regulated processes

08

Cross-system data aggregation

How we work

A deliberate process. No theatre.

01

Understand the workflow

We talk to the people doing the work and map how it actually happens, including the spreadsheets and side processes already in use.

02

Find the worthwhile bits

Not everything needs software. We look for the places where it will save time, reduce risk, or make the work easier to manage.

03

Build, in small pieces

We build in small pieces and show progress often, so the tool can change while it's still being shaped.

04

Launch and look after it

We deploy carefully and stay close after go-live, refining as your business changes.

Let's talk

Have a workflow that could work better?

Most conversations start with a short call about what's slow, manual, or hard to manage. From there, we can see where software would actually help.
