Our services
Most projects need more than one of these. We plan them together, so the parts fit and one team stays accountable.
Software development
We design, build and maintain web applications, mobile apps and integrations, from the first workshop to years of updates after launch.
- Web applications and customer portals
- iOS and Android apps
- Integrations with the systems you use
- Deployment, monitoring and maintenance
Web applications
Customer portals, booking and ordering systems, and the admin tools behind them, fast and accessible on any device.
Mobile apps
iOS and Android apps connected to your existing systems, including offline use where the signal is unreliable.
Integrations and APIs
Connect accounting, ERP, CRM, payment and delivery systems, so data is entered once and reaches everywhere it's needed.
Internal tools and dashboards
Replace spreadsheets and manual steps with tools shaped around your team's work, and reports people actually read.
Modernising older systems
Move ageing software to a maintainable platform in stages, so the business keeps running while you switch.
Company websites
Fast, secure websites that your team can update without calling a developer.
Hardware and infrastructure
We specify, supply and install computers, networks, servers and devices, then look after them for as long as you need.
- Equipment sourced to your budget
- Office and site networking
- Servers, storage and backup
- Repairs and maintenance plans
Procurement and supply
We recommend equipment that fits the job and the budget, source it, and deliver it configured and ready to use.
Installation and setup
Workstations, printers, displays and point-of-sale equipment installed, connected and tested on site.
Networking and Wi-Fi
Cabling, switches, firewalls and Wi-Fi that covers the whole building, documented so anyone can follow it.
Servers and storage
On-site servers, network storage and backup systems sized for your workload, with restores that are tested, not assumed.
Repairs and upgrades
Diagnostics, part replacements and upgrades that extend the life of the equipment you already have.
Maintenance plans
Scheduled check-ups, monitoring and priority repairs for a fixed monthly fee.
AI solutions
We find the tasks where AI saves real time or money, prove it on your data against a clear target, then build it into the tools your team already uses.
- Assistants that answer from your documents
- Document reading and data extraction
- Forecasting and analytics
- Computer vision for inspection and counting
Assistants and chatbots
Answer customer or staff questions from your own documents and systems, show where each answer came from, and hand over to a person when needed.
Document processing
Read invoices, delivery notes, forms and contracts, extract the fields you need and pass them to your systems for checking.
Forecasting and analytics
Predict demand, spot unusual transactions and find patterns in your sales and operations data.
Computer vision
Count, inspect and read from camera images, for example spotting defects on a production line or reading labels and meters.
Workflow automation
Sort emails, tickets and requests, draft replies and fill in forms, with people approving what matters.
AI in your existing software
Add AI features to the applications you already use, with the monitoring and controls that keep them reliable.

One team instead of three suppliers
Most businesses buy software, hardware and AI from different companies, then spend their own time joining them up. Here is what changes when one team does all three.
- Planning
- Separate suppliers: Each supplier plans its own part, and you join them up.
- With Texture9: Hardware, software and AI are planned together from the start.
- When something breaks
- Separate suppliers: Problems bounce between suppliers while you wait.
- With Texture9: One team owns the problem until it's fixed.
- Communication
- Separate suppliers: Three contacts, three sets of meetings and updates.
- With Texture9: One contact who knows the whole system.
- Support
- Separate suppliers: Three helpdesks and three contracts to manage.
- With Texture9: One support plan for everything we delivered.
- Changes
- Separate suppliers: A change to one part can surprise the others.
- With Texture9: We check the impact on the whole system before changing anything.
What you can expect
The same commitments on every project, large or small.
A clear scope and price
You get a written proposal with the scope, timeline and cost before any work starts, and changes are agreed in writing too.
Updates you can follow
Regular progress updates in plain language, with demos of real work rather than slide decks.
You own what you pay for
Source code, configurations and documentation made for you are yours, so you're never locked in.
Security from the start
Access control, encryption, backups and updates are part of the plan, not an afterthought.
Straight talk about AI
We recommend AI only where it beats a simpler approach, and test it on your own data before you commit.
Support after launch
We document what we deliver, train your team and stay available for fixes, changes and maintenance.

About Texture9
Texture9 is a technology services company. We build software, supply and look after IT hardware, and develop AI solutions for businesses that would rather work with one capable team than a chain of suppliers.
We care about the unglamorous parts as much as the launch: security, backups, monitoring and documentation that keep systems working for years.
- Engineering
- Software, hardware and AI built to be maintained, not just demonstrated.
- Security
- Least-privilege access, encryption and tested backups as standard.
- Support
- Help from the people who built and installed your systems.
Frequently asked questions
What kinds of businesses do you work with?
Small and medium-sized businesses, and teams inside larger organisations, that need software, IT hardware or AI built and looked after properly. If you're not sure we're the right fit, send us a short description and we'll tell you.
Do we need all three services?
No. Many projects are software-only or hardware-only. Having all three under one roof helps when they meet, for example an app that depends on devices in your building, or an AI system that needs its own server.
How much does a project cost?
It depends on the scope. After a first conversation we send a written proposal with a fixed price or a clear estimate, so you know the cost before any work starts. Support and maintenance plans are billed monthly.
Who owns the software you build for us?
You do. Once the project is paid for, the source code, designs and documentation created for you are yours. We tell you up front about any third-party or open-source components and their licences.
Can you take over an existing system?
Yes. We start with a review of the code or equipment, explain what we find and recommend what to fix first. Then we can maintain it, improve it or plan its replacement.
Is our data safe if you use AI?
We agree up front what data a model may see and where it's processed. Where data must stay in-house, we can run models on your own hardware. We don't use your data to train models for other clients.
Will you sign a non-disclosure agreement?
Yes. We're happy to sign a mutual NDA before you share the details of your project.
What do you need from us to get started?
A person who can make decisions, access to the systems and sites involved, and some of your team's time each week to answer questions and review progress.
Have a project in mind?
Tell us what you're trying to achieve. We'll ask the right questions and come back with a clear proposal.
