App and software development in Oxfordshire

We’re an Oxfordshire studio building mobile apps, web applications and cloud platforms, and our tenant app for Cottsway Housing Association is used across West Oxfordshire. Oxford, Witney, Banbury and Bicester are all within easy reach when a meeting in person would help.

Cottsway Housing Association, West Oxfordshire

Cottsway wanted tenants to report repairs, make payments and send messages themselves without having to phone in. The difficult part of the project was connecting everything to Civica Cx, their housing management system, and to allpay for payments without disrupting either.

We built it on our TenantWise platform as an iOS and Android app with a matching web portal. Digital adoption rose substantially compared with the system tenants had used before.

“TenantWise is a key enabler for expanding our digital services. We highly recommend TenantWise to other businesses looking for a reliable and effective customer portal.”

Working with the systems you already have

Most organisations that come to us already run a housing management system, a finance platform or a CRM, none of which was designed with a phone app in mind. Building the app itself is seldom the hard part, and most of the effort goes into getting it to exchange data reliably with the software you already use.

At Cottsway those were Civica Cx and allpay. We see the same situation often, with a system of record that works and that nobody wants to replace but which needs something modern sitting on top of it. We’ll integrate with what you have wherever we can, and if the existing system is the real problem we’ll tell you.

Frequently asked questions

Is CodeByTwo based in Oxfordshire?

Yes, we work from Oxfordshire. CodeByTwo Limited's registered office is a London address, which is common for small companies, but nobody works there.

Will you come to our offices?

Anywhere in Oxfordshire, yes. Discovery workshops and stakeholder sessions work better in a room, so we hold those at your offices and run day-to-day delivery over video calls and shared tools.

Can you integrate an app with our housing or finance system?

In most cases, yes. As well as housing management and finance platforms, we connect apps to older line-of-business software that was never built with mobile in mind, and that integration work makes up a large part of what we do.

Do you work with public sector and housing organisations?

Yes, and a large share of our experience is in that sector. We're familiar with the procurement, accessibility, data protection and security requirements that tend to slow these projects down.

Do you work with clients outside Oxfordshire?

Yes. Most of our clients are elsewhere in the UK, and projects run the same way whether or not we can meet in person.
