Databases & Records
Replace awkward spreadsheets and paperwork with structured customer, job, asset or record-management tools.
Small Business IT Projects
There must be an easier way of doing this.
Often, there is. Yellow Arrow builds practical, affordable technology solutions around the way your business actually works.
From a troublesome spreadsheet or repetitive admin task to a small database, workflow tool or complete web-based system, we can turn everyday business problems into simple working solutions.
Got an idea?
Small project. Real problem. Useful solution.
You don't need a detailed technical specification. Tell us what takes too long, causes frustration or relies on too much manual work. We can help work out the sensible next step.
What we can build
Useful technology without a huge software project.
Ideal for sole traders, small businesses, clubs and organisations that need something more tailored than an off-the-shelf package.

Your Idea
If you can explain the problem, we can explore whether a simple, affordable technical solution could help.
The sort of projects we mean
Built around a problem, not around a software package.
Small businesses often have processes that have grown over time: a spreadsheet here, emails there, handwritten notes somewhere else. Bespoke doesn't have to mean expensive or complicated.
- Turn a spreadsheet-based process into a simple database
- Create a job, customer or equipment tracking system
- Capture enquiries or referrals and organise the information automatically
- Generate documents, reports or emails from entered data
- Build a simple admin dashboard for an existing website
- Connect steps in a workflow to reduce repeated data entry
