Each page says what we built there. - [Articles](https://slashturn.com/articles.md): Notes from real Slashturn jobs: what we built, why it works the way it does, and what we would tell you before you build something similar. - [About](https://slashturn.com/about.md): Slashturn Studios is two people who build software for established businesses. How we work, and Slashturn Ltd's company details. - [Contact](https://slashturn.com/contact.md): Tell us what is slow, or book a free 30-minute call with the people who would build the fix. ## Services - [AI consultancy](https://slashturn.com/services/ai.md): Where a model helps, and where it does not. AI proposal reviews, model choice and cost, and automation without a model when that is the better answer. - [Apps and products](https://slashturn.com/services/apps.md): From nothing to live, and actually used. Web applications, mobile apps and customer-facing portals, built, put live and looked after. - [Automation](https://slashturn.com/services/automation.md): Work that repeats stops needing a person. Retyped orders, Monday morning reports, chasing and reminders: the jobs your team does by hand, done on their own. - [Integrations](https://slashturn.com/services/integrations.md): Every system reads from the same place. Accounting and stock, warehouse and website, and bridges to the legacy system nobody dares replace. - [Internal systems](https://slashturn.com/services/internal-systems.md): One place your team actually works from. Stock and ordering, job and ticket boards, approvals and sign-off, in a system built around how your business already runs. ## Work (case studies) - [Bhala: case study](https://slashturn.com/work/bhala.md): A whole class's year living in one fragile spreadsheet. A markbook platform for South African schools. Marks are append-only and the database enforces it, absences are never scored, and mark entry works offline. Live since October 2026. - [Oatley Coffee: case study](https://slashturn.com/work/oatley.md): Working out what to order meant counting the shelves and guessing. An internal stock and ingredient system. What is on the shelf, what it goes into, and what the next order should be, without anyone guessing. Live, and in use every week. - [Sera: case study](https://slashturn.com/work/sera.md): Huge files split, compressed or sent through three different services. Cloud storage for creative professionals. Files too big for everything else go up whole, and preview in place. Share links expire, and deleted files can be restored. Live at usesera.io. - [The Creative Clan: case study](https://slashturn.com/work/tcc-portal.md): Client approvals scattered across email threads and versions. A client review and sign-off portal. Their client opens a board, sees what is waiting on a decision, signs it off, and the work moves to invoicing. Live. ## Our apps - [Bhala](https://slashturn.com/apps/bhala.md): The class markbook for South African primary schools. Every mark, note and report a teacher writes is kept, never overwritten and never lost between years. - [BubDays](https://slashturn.com/apps/bubdays.md): A baby tracker for the whole household. Log feeds, sleep, nappies and everything else one-handed, at 3am, on iPhone, Apple Watch and the web, then see the pattern on the charts a health visitor would recognise. - [Northpage](https://slashturn.com/apps/northpage.md): The strategy on one quiet, branded page, the content plan your clients approve, and the shoots that make it. Published to a private link, commented on, versioned and printable. No decks, no spreadsheets. - [Sonola HR](https://slashturn.com/apps/sonola-hr.md): Simple HR for teams of 10 to 50: people, time off, pay and documents in one place that works on your phone. ## Industries - [Agencies and studios](https://slashturn.com/industries/agencies-and-studios.md): For agencies and studios whose work is made for somebody else to approve. The making is rarely the hard part. The hard part is everything around it: getting the client to look, getting a clear yes, moving files too big to send, and getting the invoice out once the work is signed off. - [Hospitality](https://slashturn.com/industries/hospitality.md): For cafés, bars and kitchens, where stock is counted by hand on a busy shift, some of it goes off, and the question that matters is whether you can still make everything on the menu tomorrow. - [HR and people teams](https://slashturn.com/industries/hr-and-people-teams.md): For the owner or office manager who looks after people on top of their real job, in a business of ten to fifty where HR is a spreadsheet, a shared inbox and a calendar somebody remembers to update. - [Schools](https://slashturn.com/industries/schools.md): For schools, where a child's year lives in a markbook, a mark must never be quietly changed, and at the end of every term somebody writes a report for every child in the class. - [Small product companies](https://slashturn.com/industries/small-product-companies.md): For small companies whose product is software, or is about to be: a founder whose idea is past the notes app, or a team whose product works and now needs to work properly, on more than one screen. ## Articles - [Approve on purpose: sign-off that can't happen by accident](https://slashturn.com/articles/approve-on-purpose.md): When a client's yes starts an invoice, it should never be a stray click. How we built sign-off into The Creative Clan's review portal so approving is deliberate, recorded and impossible to do twice. - [Catch the slip while it's being typed, not at the end of term](https://slashturn.com/articles/catch-a-slip-while-marking.md): A mark typed as 8 instead of 80 can sit in a spreadsheet for a whole term. How Bhala's mark entry puts each pupil's last result beside the new one, so a mistake shows up while the teacher is still marking. - [Low, out or just not counted: a stock list that says what it means](https://slashturn.com/articles/stock-states-in-words.md): A coloured dot can't tell you whether a shelf is empty or just hasn't been checked. What building Oatley Coffee's stock system taught us about saying each line's state in words. ## Authors - [Ross Walker](https://slashturn.com/authors/ross-walker.md): Ross Walker founded and runs Slashturn Studios, and is a director of Slashturn Ltd. He writes here about the systems Slashturn builds and runs: what they do, and why they work the way they do. ## Optional - [Privacy notice](https://slashturn.com/legal/privacy.md): Who we are, what we collect when you use our site, book a call or get an email from us, who else sees it, how long we keep it, and your rights. - [Cookie policy](https://slashturn.com/legal/cookies.md): Exactly what our site stores on your device, what only runs if you click Accept, and how to change your mind. - [Website terms of use](https://slashturn.com/legal/terms.md): The terms for using slashturn.com.
