Engineering your business
can rely on.
Eight Mile is a London engineering consultancy. We design, build and support the software that enterprises and small businesses depend on every day, and we stay accountable for it long after launch.
What we do
Software development for enterprises and small businesses.
Customer portals, operations platforms, SaaS products and the AI features inside them. Scoped in the first conversation, priced in writing, and built by the engineers who will run it in production.
Enterprises
The slice of the backlog your team will never reach.
You have developers, a review process and a roadmap longer than the year. We take a defined piece of it — the integration, the portal, the migration — and deliver it inside your repositories and your process, by security cleared engineers.
- Your repositories, your board, your review process
- Written scope and a fixed price per release
- Handover documents, a walkthrough, and knowledge left behind
Small and medium businesses
The system that replaces the spreadsheet.
Quotes, jobs, stock, invoices and customers held together by files, group chats and one person who remembers how it works. We turn how you already operate into software your staff and your customers log into.
- A focused first release in weeks, priced as one number
- The repository, the cloud accounts and the data in your name
- Twelve months of cover, from the engineers who built it
We also do AI integration, networking, infrastructure and cloud, and security audits. See everything we cover
Our work
Products we run, not slides we show.
Access control readers, high availability PostgreSQL, an inbox that triages itself, Terraform providers on the public registry, and the platform this site runs on. Most of it is open source, so you can read the code before you talk to us.
Each open-source project has a page of its own. See the full index.
Websites
A website you never have to think about.
Design, build, hosting, domain, email, backups and updates from one team. You approve the design and tell us what the site should say. Everything behind it is ours to run.
An engineer shapes the site around your brand with you, and nothing goes live until you have signed it off. From then on we keep it secure, fast and current, and when you ring, you reach the person who built it.
Built on our own platform
Every site we deliver runs on TradeOps, so your bookings, quotes, invoices, email and customer records live beside your website rather than behind five separate logins. This site runs on it too.
Payment systems
Take card payments on your own site.
Admin accounts
A back office for the people who run the business.
Branded email
Mail sent and received from your own domain.
Instant updates
Change the words and they are live, no ticket needed.
AI assistance
Drafting, summaries and automation where they save time.
Every screen
Built for the phone first, because that is where customers are.
Reviews
In their words, not ours.
Verbatim reviews from the homes, shops and businesses we have worked for across London, exactly as they were left on Checkatrade and Trustpilot.

AI where it earns its place
We use AI in planning, design and progress tracking where it makes the work faster and more precise, and nowhere it does not.
From the blog
Written by the engineers, for whoever is stuck.
Practical guides from the people who do the work, on what building software with us costs, who owns it afterwards, and when it is time to stop running the business out of a spreadsheet.
