We understand business.

Since 2010Independent thinking.
Practical software.
Practical software.
DataScribe began with a simple idea: software should fit the business using it.
Founded in 2010 by Adam Prescott and Adrian Lines, we grew from developing online management tools for a specialist electrical contractor.
That experience still shapes our work. We understand the everyday challenges of managing jobs, people, quality and information, and build bespoke applications around your existing processes.
Our subscription approach brings development, hosting and support together, with no upfront costs or long-term contractual commitments.
