Things I've built.
A business system running two steel companies, a booking website for a detailing studio, and an online store for rebar. Every screenshot below is the real thing.
FenderBCS
The control centre for a reinforcing steel fabricator: orders, bending schedules, deliveries, stock, checks and reporting.

The system that runs Fender Steel day to day. One place for sales and purchase orders, BS 8666 bending schedules, production, deliveries, stock traceability, CARES compliance, vehicles and machines, timesheets and management reporting. It works on office PCs, yard tablets and drivers' phones.

- Office, yard, drivers and management

Everything that needs doing, on the first screen
Each part of the business has its own tile. A banner at the top flags anything overdue, like machines nobody has checked yet today, so problems get seen before they become audit findings.
- Tiles for orders, production, deliveries, holidays, timesheets, stock and more
- One login covers Fender Steel and BCS Products
- Search across orders, customers, stock and assets
Every order, from draft to delivered
Orders move through clear stages: draft, ready for production, in production, ready for delivery, out for delivery, delivered and completed. The counts at the top show where the work is piling up.
- Filter by stage and by depot
- Weight, value and delivery date on every row
- Customers over their credit limit are flagged
- Export the list in one click
BS 8666 schedules built into every order
Cut and bent work is entered as a proper BS 8666 schedule: bar marks, bar type, shape codes, dimensions and number of bars. The system works out the weight for each mark and each diameter.
- Each bar mark is ticked off when it has been checked
- Print tallies and delivery notes straight from the order
- Order checklist and a full history of who did what
The delivery board, on screen
Orders that are ready wait in a queue until someone picks a day and a driver and puts them on the board. The calendar shows each load with its tonnage, postcode and driver, and flags anything that needs a hiab.
- Day, week and month views for both depots
- Colour-coded loads, just like the board in the yard
- MOTs, LOLER exams and inspections on the same calendar
The whole business at a glance
Tonnes produced and delivered, fuel used, orders taken, hours worked and morning checks done, for the month so far and month by month. Every chart can be opened to see the figures behind it.
- Steel produced by company and by bar diameter
- Who is off this week and which inspections are due
- Stock value and unpaid customer accounts
More from the yard
Stock, safety checks and timesheets all live in the same system.
Works on a phone in the yard
Staff sign themselves up and add FenderBCS to their home screen like an app. Drivers and yard staff run checks and update orders from their phone; the office gets the full desktop view.
How it's built
Every feature starts as a written spec covering the screens, the rules and the edge cases, which gets signed off before any code is written.
Built for audits
Compliance records such as checks and non-conformances can't be edited after they're saved, and every change is recorded against the person who made it.
Coming next
- Counting bars from a photo of a bundle end
- Scanning paperwork into the system
- Welding records for CARES
- Linking orders to the accounts system
Screens show the system loaded with sample data.

What I can build for you.
From a simple website to a system that runs your day, built to fit how your business already works.
Business websites
Fast, clear sites that show what you do and get people to call or book.
Business systems
Orders, stock, scheduling and reporting in one place instead of five spreadsheets.
Online stores & bookings
Sell or take bookings online with your own rules: cut-offs, slots, deposits and delivery.
AI & automation
Tools that do the repetitive work for you, like answering staff questions or reading paperwork.
Phone apps
Web apps that work like an app on staff phones, or go on the App Store and Google Play.
Ongoing support
Updates, fixes and new features after launch, from the person who built it.
Chat
Tell me what's slowing you down. Plain English, no hard sell.
Build
A written plan first, then working versions early so it fits how you actually work.
Launch & support
I put it live and keep it running smoothly afterwards.
Practical software, built by one person.
LOADED is me. I build websites, business systems and automation tools for small businesses. I also work in steel fabrication, so I know what a busy yard or workshop needs from its software: fewer clicks, clear screens and things that just work.
You always deal with me directly, from the first chat to long after it's live.
