Product engineering
Internal tools and workflow software
Internal tools are the operational applications a business uses to run itself: job scheduling, approvals, case handling, stock, reporting. Hexploits builds them to replace the spreadsheet or email chain that has become the system of record, with roles, history and integration into the systems around it.
A named engineer replies within one working day. A written scope and an indicative price within two.
Who this is for
- Operations directors running a core process on a spreadsheet the business depends on.
- Teams where approvals and handovers happen by email and get lost.
- Businesses that have outgrown an off-the-shelf tool but do not need a full platform.
What you get
Deliverables, not slogans. Each one appears in the statement of work.
- A process map of how the work actually flows, including the exceptions.
- The tool: forms, workflow states, approvals, notifications, reporting and audit history.
- Integration with the source systems so data is not re-entered.
- Training and documentation for the team.
- Hosting and support under a managed contract.
Our engineers work across the major languages, frameworks and cloud platforms. We build on the stack you already run, with technology choices explained in writing before work begins.
How it is delivered
The same four stages as every Hexploits engagement, applied to this capability.
Stage 1
Observe
We sit with the people doing the work and document the process and its exceptions.
Stage 2
Prototype
A clickable prototype within two weeks, refined with the team before anything is built.
Stage 3
Build and pilot
The tool goes to a pilot group with the old process still available, then to everyone.
Stage 4
Operate
Changes within the monthly allowance, hosting and support.
How success is measured
Every engagement agrees its measures and the measurement period in writing before work starts.
- Hours per week spent on the process, before and after.
- Errors and rework, measured over a period.
- Time from request to completion for the workflow.
