Lab

Built beyond
the brief.

Software made outside client work: warehouse software, a Shopify app, a mobile platform for trades and financial software.

Built by Brandwerk’s founder, alongside client work. Not client case studies.

01 — Warehouse softwareIn use

ShipScan

Makes sure the right parcels end up on the right lorry.

Orders come straight from the ERP. Every parcel and pallet is scanned onto the trailer, and each load is signed off with a manifest.

When a carrier loses or damages something, the proof is already there: what was loaded, when, by whom, and on which trailer.

02 — Shopify appLive

ProductDocs

Manuals, files and QR codes for Shopify products.

Merchants attach manuals, assembly guides, safety notices and warranties to products from inside Shopify admin.

Every document gets a permanent link and a printable QR code. Upload a new version and the code on the box points to it. Nothing gets reprinted.

TradeCounter

Calculators, material lists and quotes for UK trades.

A website and a pocket app for iOS and Android, sharing one system, starting with heating engineers.

The maths is checked and tested. The AI assistant explains the answers rather than making them up.

WealthSteer

Financial health software.

A financial health score with insights and calculators that show people where they stand and what to do next. It doesn’t recommend or sell financial products.

Live, with paying customers.
