About us
Thirdrock is a software development company based in Leeds with clients throughout the UK. Since 1995 we have been combining great technology with business consultancy to develop business-transforming CRM and cloud business systems.
Thirdrock is headed up by Dave Small - previously Software Development Director at the award-winning Sense Internet. Dave has developed an in-depth understanding of delivering CRM and cloud business systems that save our clients time and money.
We have a wealth of experience in business systems development, a solid understanding of modern software development techniques and a proven track record for delivering custom systems that meet our clients' current and future needs.
Our experience in business systems development has been used to develop a wide range of flexible CRM systems and cloud business systems for our clients from household names to small businesses and charities. We have developed systems for the property, accountancy, education, retail and entertainment sectors, and enjoy nothing more than a fresh challenge.
As a Business owner and Coach to many high growth businesses, leveraging through technology is key to maximise efficiencies. Whilst initially it was a big investment in the system that Thirdrock have built for me, it has probably now saved me £10,000 a year in labour costs, has given full control and visibility, has allowed remote team members to work in the business without being onsite and have speeded up the processes through integration and automation. The work that Thirdrock have done for us has been truly life changing and Dave has been amazing to work with!
I worked with Dave as a colleague for many years, and this meant I had no hesitation in selecting him as a supplier. He combines fantastic technical knowledge with a solid understanding of commercial imperatives, and most importantly he always applies great rigour to the investigation and specification phase of any project. It is this rigour that means he is the sort of person that can help save a project before it begins, and there have been numerous occasions when I have seen him ask the critical question that has been overlooked by everyone else.
However, more than this, Dave then goes on to provide useful and helpful alternatives to resolve the issues raised by that question. Working with Dave will help your project proceed more smoothly and more quickly than would be the case without him. I would not continue to use his services if I did not regard them as an essential part of the mix of skills I deliver to my clients.
I have been incredibly impressed with the development of our Lighthouse system, a complex integrated student, staff and organisational monitoring and information system.
Thirdrock has worked hard to understand the needs of our growing organisation and has developed a system that has added great value to our work. The system has simplified processes, reduced paperwork, and enabled us to meet Ofsted requirements with excellence.
I would happily recommend Thirdrock, not only for their excellent technical skills, but also for the way they have worked with our staff to ensure their buy-in and to enable a smooth implementation.
I have worked with Thirdrock on a number of bespoke web developments and applications over the past 3 years. Thirdrock are not only incredible web developers but also excellent communicators. Their clear understanding of our objectives ensure a maximum return on investment. As a growing company with 50+ staff we have used Thirdrock to transform our company's processes, both client facing and internally. I would without question recommend Thirdrock to any business looking to grow.
I've worked with Thirdrock over the past year on a few projects now. Their understanding of web technologies makes them be able to deliver server-side solutions of the highest standard - implementing requests quickly and efficiently. Working with Thirdrock has been a joy and meant we could deliver high-end visual creative solutions with a full proof back-end platform. I highly recommend Thirdrock.
I worked closely with Thirdrock to help develop a new transactional website. There were a number of hurdles and complications to overcome and Thirdrock helped offer advice and solutions along the journey. What I liked about Thirdrock's approach was that they weren't 'yes men'. Where appropriate they would push back, offering alternative justification for taking the project in a different direction. They were always reactive to problems and went out of their way to help solve issues. They are very methodical and analytical, mixed with a common sense approach to projects.
Through the work I have done with Thirdrock in developing our software, we have increased profits, decreased wasted time and made our business run much much smoother. I cannot recommend Thirdrock highly enough.
