Software built by the people who answer the phone.

Venox is a boutique development consultancy. A small, senior team that designs, builds and runs cloud software for businesses that need it to work on the first night, not the fifth sprint.

Services

The whole thing, not a hand-off.

We take a problem from a conversation to running software, and we stay on it. One team covers product, cloud, security and the parts in between.

Product development

Web and tablet applications designed around how people actually do the job. Discovery, design, build and release, with the people who will use it in the room from the start.

Talk about a product →

Cloud & platform

Serverless architectures on AWS, multi-tenant from day one, with infrastructure as code, separate accounts per stage and CI/CD that deploys on green. Built so you can run it without us.

Talk about a platform →

Applied AI

Assistants grounded in your own data, document extraction and OCR, written reports from real figures. Every call budgeted and logged, so the bill is a decision rather than a surprise.

Talk about AI →

Security & penetration testing

Web, API and cloud testing done by people, with scanners as a starting point rather than the report. Every finding is read, reproduced and explained by a human before it reaches you.

How we test →
Security consulting

Tools find the known. People find the rest.

Automated scanners are fast and tireless, and they miss the things that matter most: broken logic, chained weaknesses, and the assumption nobody wrote down. We run the tools, then we do the work.

  • A human in the loop on every finding. Nothing is copied from a scanner into a report. Each issue is reproduced by hand, rated for your context and written up so your engineers can fix it.
  • Manual testing where it counts. Authentication and session handling, authorisation between tenants and roles, business logic, payment flows and the APIs behind the app.
  • Cloud and code, not just the login page. AWS account and IAM review, infrastructure as code, CI/CD and secrets handling, with a reading of the source where you give us access.
  • Fix, then verify. We stay for the remediation, retest what was fixed, and say plainly what is closed and what remains.
How we work

A conversation in.
Running software out.

No account managers, no layers. The people you brief are the people who build it and the people who get paged.

1

Discover

We spend time where the work happens, watch the current process end to end, and write down what the software has to do in plain words you can argue with.

2

Build

Working software early and often. A dev environment you can click around in from the first weeks, with every change reviewed, tested and deployed automatically.

3

Run

We hand over with documentation, runbooks and your own AWS accounts, then stay on for support and the next round of features at a pace you choose.

Our product

BarOS. Bar operations on one tablet behind the bar.

Recipe library, stocktake, prep, ordering, wastage and cost control in one place, built with a working cocktail bar rather than for one.

  • Live cost and margin on every drink as the spec is written, with venue price overrides for groups.
  • Stocktake by tenths or by weight, variance banded, finalised into stock levels by a manager.
  • Menu engineering that tells you which drinks to keep, reprice, promote or cut.
  • An AI development chat grounded in tonight's real stock and costs, with a spend cap per venue.
BarOS menu engineering: 52 drinks plotted by units sold per week against gross profit, with margin a week, menu GP and the Signature, Plough-horse, Enigma and Underperformer quadrants
Why Venox

Boutique means you get the seniors.

We keep the team small on purpose. It is how the quality stays high and the overhead stays off your invoice.

Senior people, start to finish

The engineers who scope the work write the code and carry the pager. Nothing is delegated downward after the sale.

You own everything

Your repositories, your AWS accounts, your data. We build in the open with you, and leaving us is a decision rather than a project.

Honest scope

We write down what is built, what is partial and what is not built at all, and we keep that list current. It is the same list we rank the next release from.

Production from the first deploy

Separate accounts per stage, infrastructure as code, tests on every change, costs capped before they are spent. The boring discipline that keeps software up.
