BUSINESS SOFTWARE, ON YOUR SIDE.
Your business isn’t off the shelf.
Your software shouldn’t be either.
Tailored software. Fully managed. A predictable subscription. A better way to run the work that matters.
A different arrangement. Illustrated.
01 / THE DIFFERENCE
The extra spreadsheet. The duplicate entry. The feature you’re still waiting for. Familiar?
You pay for the software.
Then pay again in workarounds.
Off-the-shelf platforms can be a good fit. But when your team spends more time navigating their limits than doing the work, it’s worth looking at another arrangement.
We build software around an agreed set of business needs, then take responsibility for running and improving it. You get a working service, without having to assemble a software team.
02 / YOUR STARTING POINT
Two ways in.
One better way to work.
Spending £50k–£200k a year on a platform that still doesn’t fit? Explore a tailored alternative within a managed subscription.
That clever spreadsheet has become a business-critical system. Give the process a purpose-built app, without a heavyweight software project.
03 / MAKE IT CONCRETE
From scattered updates
to a connected workflow.
A service business tracks customer requests in a platform, schedules work in a spreadsheet and chases updates by email.
A tailored application could connect job intake, scheduling and status updates, with the reporting the team actually needs.
A team manages equipment requests in a shared spreadsheet. Approvals happen by email, and someone manually keeps the records in sync.
A focused app could give staff a request form, managers an approval queue and the team a shared view of what happens next.
04 / THE WHOLE SERVICE
You subscribe to working software.
We take care of the moving parts.
Requirements and scope agreed around the processes, people and integrations that matter.
One supplier responsible for the application and its ongoing operation, with clear support arrangements.
An agreed price and service. Clear terms for renewal and any work outside the included scope.
Your subscription includes substantial capacity for small and medium-sized changes. We agree priorities with you and keep adapting the software as your business evolves.
Connect your AI tools to your software. Every system includes a built-in connection for AI assistants to work with your business data and carry out supported tasks, within the permissions you set.
The build is only the beginning.
We stay responsible for what comes next.
05 / HOW IT WORKS
A useful conversation.
A clear decision before a build.
Show us what you use, what it costs and where work gets stuck. We’ll look at the problems worth solving.
Set out the requirements, subscription, responsibilities and transition approach. Establish whether the case stacks up.
Develop the agreed application, manage the move and provide the ongoing service and agreed improvements.
THE FAIR QUESTIONS
The software should work for you.
So should the relationship.
Your business owns its data. Lessvendor retains ownership of the application software and provides it through a managed subscription.
We don’t believe in vendor lock-in. Your data is yours, and we’ll make it easy to export it. We’ll work with you to make the move straightforward. Access to the application ends when your subscription ends.
Regular tweaks and small to medium-sized changes are part of the service. We agree priorities with you and keep making things better. For major additions or a substantial rework, we’ll agree what’s involved and any extra cost with you first.
The idea is simple: bespoke software at SaaS pricing, so you don’t have to compromise on the way your business works. You get a predictable subscription covering the software, hosting, support and ongoing improvements. The price depends on what you need, and we’ll agree it with you upfront.
Yes. Every system includes an MCP server—a standard way for compatible AI assistants and agents to connect to your software. We agree which information they can access and which tasks they can perform, with access controlled by your system’s permissions.
Lessvendor is a managed software service run by people with 20 years’ experience building software across a range of industries, both regulated and non-regulated. We build it, run it and keep improving it with you.
