The Stockport tech company helping businesses take back control

Most companies don’t think about their software until it stops working for them. One day, everything runs smoothly. The next, they’re drowning in subscription fees, stuck with off-the-shelf platforms that were never built for them in the first place. That’s where we come in.

Pecometer was founded on a simple principle that businesses should own their tech, not rent it. Too many companies are locked into tools that only half work, forced to adapt to rigid systems instead of the other way around. We build software that scales, adapts, and lasts, so you’re not stuck with quick fixes that don’t fit. Think of it like the difference between renting from a dodgy landlord and living in a place built for you.

Sean Hutchinson, Pecometer CEO

"Trying to force generic software to fit a business is getting harder. A custom-built system makes it easier to get exactly what you need without the trade-offs."

We don’t build tech for the sake of it. Every system we create is designed to make businesses more efficient, agile, and independent. Real-world companies need software that works for people, not just developers.

Nikol Stoyanova, Senior Developer

"Our clients, like Acasta, Irwell and Frive fully own their systems. They can shape them however they want, without being locked into non-flexible tools or having limited control."

As AI-generated design takes over the internet, websites and software are starting to look, feel and operate the same. We take a different approach. AI isn’t a magic fix, and we’ve never treated it like one. We use it where it genuinely improves workflows, not as an unnecessary layer of complexity. Even Microsoft, a company that has poured billions into AI, is scaling back some of its investments. Businesses are starting to realise that AI needs to be used with intent, not as a default. When you build with intention, you get tools that really work for real people.

Most of our developers are women, which is still rare in this industry. That brings a different perspective. We focus on usability, long-term value, and the practical realities of running a business, solving everyday problems with technology that actually works.

But Pecometer isn’t just for businesses with bigger budgets. Through our digital skills workshops, we’re making tech more accessible to small teams, local businesses, and volunteers. These sessions focus on simple, practical tools that anyone can pick up to work smarter.

Afeez Kareem, QA Tester

"Custom software shouldn’t be a luxury. I work at Pecometer because I want to help people take control of their tech, not feel locked out of it."

With International Women’s Day coming up, we want to offer something tangible to support women-led businesses. We’re opening up free, specialised tech strategy consultations for the first women entrepreneurs who reach out to us at enquiries@pecometer.co.uk.

If your software is slowing you down instead of working for you, maybe it’s time for a different approach. Pecometer builds tech that fits your business, not the other way around.
