The systems that run your business, built to fit the way you work.
From stock control to order processing, SW26 Ventures builds custom software that connects your tools and moves data automatically — so your team stops copying numbers between spreadsheets.
From scattered tools to one system that runs itself.
We learn how your business actually works, then build the software and data flows that take the manual work off your team's plate.
Map
We sit with your team and map the real process — where data comes from, where it gets stuck, and what's being done by hand.
Build & connect
We build the system and wire it into your existing tools, so data flows automatically instead of living in disconnected spreadsheets.
Run & refine
You get one place to see and control operations in real time. We keep refining it as your business grows.
Whatever your operation needs to stop doing by hand.
Start with the one that's costing you the most time. Add the rest as you grow.
Stock & inventory control
Real-time stock levels across locations, automatic reorder points, and supplier tracking — no more guessing what's on the shelf.
Process & workflow automation
Approvals, handoffs, and repetitive admin handled automatically — with the right people pulled in only when a decision is needed.
System & data integration
Connect the tools you already use so data flows between them automatically — instead of being exported, re-keyed, and emailed around.
Orders & operations
Order intake, fulfilment, and status tracking in one place — connected to stock and finance so everything stays in sync.
Dashboards & reporting
Live dashboards that pull from every system, so leadership sees what's actually happening without waiting for someone's spreadsheet.
Bespoke internal tools
The custom system your business needs but no off-the-shelf product sells — designed around how you actually operate.
The AI revolution, put to work — not just talked about.
Everyone's talking about AI. We build it into the systems you already use, aimed at the unglamorous work that quietly eats your team's time — using the same frontier models and tools leading engineers rely on, including Anthropic's Claude and Claude Code.
Predict & decide
Forecast demand, flag low stock, and suggest reorders before you run out — not after.
Read & understand
Pull data out of emails, invoices, and documents automatically — no templates to maintain.
Catch what humans miss
Spot errors, duplicates, and anomalies across thousands of records, instantly.
AI handles the volume. Your people stay in control of the decisions that matter.
Built around your business — not a template you have to bend to.
Off-the-shelf software forces you to work its way. We build the other way around: software that fits how your team already runs.
Custom-built, not forced to fit
Every system is shaped around your real process and data, not a generic product's assumptions.
Works with what you already have
We connect to your current tools rather than asking you to rip everything out and start over.
Your data stays yours
Isolated, encrypted, and fully under your control — with a clear audit trail of what the system does.
A partner, not a one-off project
We start small, prove value fast, and keep improving the system as your business changes.
Supplier invoices arrived as email attachments and were re-typed into the ERP by hand, one line at a time. We built the pipeline that reads them — email in, structured data out, straight into the ERP — running on the client’s own hardware.
Eighteen years of making physical things work — now pointed at your data.
Most automation shops are a marketing team with an API key. This one is run by an industrial engineer who has shipped hardware, raised money for it, and holds patents on it.
- • Industrial engineer. Aerospace and biotechnology project management.
- • CTO of a lithium battery division — inventor on two granted patents in pack architecture and per-cell monitoring, and raised €750,000 for the division.
- • Navigation robotics in Shenzhen; product architecture in Hong Kong. Taught robotics and autonomous vehicles at university level.
- • Today: production software — real-time market-data systems and AI document pipelines, built and run solo.
- • Working across Spain, China, Hong Kong and Kazakhstan. English and Spanish.
Which matters for one practical reason: a system that touches invoices, stock or production has to survive contact with how the work is really done. That is an operations problem before it is a software problem.
The questions people ask before getting started.
No. In most cases we connect to the tools you already use and fill the gaps between them. We only replace something when it's actively holding you back — and only if it's worth it.
Not at all. You bring the deep knowledge of how your business runs; we handle the technical side and build something your team can actually use day to day.
We start with one high-impact workflow so you see real value quickly, then expand from there. The exact timeline depends on scope — we'll map it out together on the first call.
No. A lot of our work is for growing companies that have outgrown spreadsheets and manual processes but aren't ready for heavyweight enterprise software.
It stays yours. Systems are isolated and encrypted, and you keep full control and a clear audit trail of how data moves and what the system does with it.
