What is Boffins Ridge?

Who do you work with?

We work with small organisations that need systems to fit how they already run. That is usually countryside businesses and clubs (riding, shooting, fishing, farms and estates) and membership organisations such as trade associations, with member CRMs, renewals, private resources and events.

More on this: Sectors.

How much does independent technology advice cost?

Technology Advice starts at £195. You get a clear answer to one technology question, options ranked for your situation, and a next step you can take. A broader brief, covering several related decisions or a fuller written comparison, costs more.

What does a technology roadmap include, and what does it cost?

Technology Roadmaps start at £950. You receive a written plan with options, sequencing, owners, an indicative budget and the main risks. Use this when you need a decision-ready path rather than a single answer.

How much does a bespoke design and build start at?

Bespoke Design & Build starts at £1,000 for a contained tool with a clear boundary. The quoted price follows the workflows, integrations, data migration and training the organisation actually needs. You walk away with a working system in live use and simple admin paths for your team.

What does ongoing partnership cost?

Ongoing Technology Partner starts at £50 a month for retained planning time and delivery capacity. Each cycle has an agreed priority list, completed improvements within the retained time, and support cover for the systems we look after.

What is the difference between advice, a roadmap and a build?

Advice answers one question. A roadmap turns that into a sequenced plan with budget. A build takes an agreed scope through to something people use day to day. The first four packages usually stack in that order: discover and advise, then plan, then the build stage, then optional partnership.

More on this: Pricing.

Do you lock clients into a proprietary platform?

No. We will not lock you into a proprietary system. We look across the market, use existing tools where they fit, and write new software only where they do not. The aim is a system your team can run, not a platform you cannot leave.

Do you work with organisations that have poor countryside connectivity?

Yes. Rural work often happens where the signal drops. We design for that: field-friendly tools, records that still make sense offline or on a weak connection, and admin paths that do not assume a city office network.

More on this: Expertise.

Do you visit in person, or only work remotely?

Both. We can come to you to talk through what you need on site and to demonstrate the work in person. We also work by phone and video call. Email info@boffinsridge.co.uk or use the contact form to start.

How do we start?

Describe the organisation and the friction you are seeing. We will suggest a sensible next step, usually a focused piece of advice, a roadmap, or a scoped build. There is no contract created by sending an enquiry.
