Business Analysis in Derby
Working out what should actually be built before anyone starts building it. For Derby businesses this means mapping how the work is done today, finding where the real cost sits, and producing a specification a developer can price without a fortnight of guessing.
Why this comes up
The problem
Projects fail on requirements far more often than on code. A brief written from the top of the business rarely matches how the work is really done three floors down, and the gap surfaces during user acceptance testing.
What you get
What we deliver
- The current process mapped from the people doing it, not from how it is described upstairs
- The exceptions and workarounds documented, since those are where systems usually break
- Requirements written as testable statements rather than aspirations
- Scope split into what must exist at launch and what can honestly wait
- A build-versus-buy assessment where an off-the-shelf product might do the job
- A specification another supplier could quote from, so you are not locked to us

Working in Derby
East Midlands
Derby is an engineering city — aerospace, rail and automotive supply chains — so the work here skews toward integration with existing plant systems, quality and compliance workflows, and reporting that has to stand up to audit.
Most work here involves connecting shop-floor and plant systems to reporting the rest of the business can actually read, plus quality and compliance workflows that have to survive an audit.

Business Analysis in Derby — common questions
- Can we not just brief a developer directly?
- For a small, well-understood change, yes. For anything spanning departments, the risk is building a faithful version of a process nobody has examined in a decade. Analysis usually pays for itself by removing scope rather than adding it.
- Will you recommend buying instead of building?
- Where a product genuinely fits, yes, and we would rather say so at this stage than sell a build. That recommendation is more useful to you than the alternative, and it is cheap to hear now.
- How long does it take?
- Usually two to four weeks for a single process, longer where several departments are involved. Most of the time goes on talking to the people who actually do the work, which is also where the useful findings come from.
- Do we have to build it with you afterwards?
- No. The specification is written to be quotable by anyone, which is deliberate — analysis that only your analyst can act on is a lock-in mechanism rather than a deliverable.
- Do you work with businesses across Derbyshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East Midlands, including Derby and the surrounding Derbyshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Derby businesses do you usually work with?
- Most work here involves connecting shop-floor and plant systems to reporting the rest of the business can actually read, plus quality and compliance workflows that have to survive an audit. Beyond that we work across Advanced Manufacturing, Aerospace, Rail Engineering, Automotive and Logistics.
- Do you cover the areas around Derby?
- Yes — we work throughout East Midlands, including Nottingham, Leicester, Loughborough, Birmingham. Derby is an urban area of roughly 260,000+, and we take on work across the wider Derbyshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
