Marideco · Modular systems for small operations teams

Make the systems you already use work as one.

Workbench is configurable operational software installed in your environment.Depending on the modules selected, your team can load current data, check schedules and hours, handle exceptions, and publish the reporting each role needs—all from one workspace.

It connects to the files and systems already in place, then adds only the missing workflow.

The main product

What your team opens on Monday.

Start with one useful module. Connect it to the tools already in place, then add further capability only when the value is clear.

01

Data Connect

Read Excel, CSV, JSON or controlled exports. Map and validate records, with exceptions held for review.

02

Scheduling

Bring demand, skills, availability and current rotas into an editable plan. Gaps return for a manager’s decision.

03

Timekeeping

Compare planned and actual hours, surface variance and keep the reason visible.

04

Reporting Studio

Turn shared values into the measures, charts, views and exports each role needs.

Modules can work independently or exchange shared values and actions, avoiding repeated entry. Roles, site scope, fields, rules, dashboards and branding are configured around the deployment.

Production rollout can add existing SSO, managed licensing, backups and an agreed update route.

Start with the friction

No technical brief required.

Describe what gets repeated, delayed, lost or rebuilt every week. I will translate that into the technical brief.

Reporting

Reporting takes too long

Connect existing files and exports once, then publish the required measures, charts and reports.

Planning

Schedules, hours and demand disagree

Bring planning and timekeeping together so gaps and variance become visible earlier.

Controlled AI

People spend too long sorting and drafting

Apply bounded AI to one defined step, with approved context and human control.

Websites

The website makes enquiries harder

Rebuild the message and customer journey around what visitors actually need.

Data, access and continuity

Local control is part of the product.

Workbench normally runs in your environment. Licensing and updates verify the software; they do not make Marideco the owner or warehouse of your operational records.

Operational data

Stays in your environment

Users, records, files, notes and business metrics remain local unless a specifically agreed integration requires otherwise.

Licence metadata

Minimal by design

Customer or licence ID, installed module IDs and versions, last-check time and licence status—never the contents of your business records.

Continuity

Cached local access

A cached signed licence is intended to keep the system working when the update or licence service cannot be reached.

After non-renewal

Read-only, sign-in and export

After a one-time 30-day grace period, editing may pause. Historical and safety-critical records remain visible and exportable; they are never deleted or hidden.

Ownership

Your data remains yours

You own and can export your data. Marideco retains the Workbench shell and reusable module IP. Bespoke module IP remains with Marideco unless exclusivity is separately purchased.

A low-pressure route to a real build

Understand first. Quote second.

The initial email consultation is free until the useful outcome is clear enough to scope and price.

  1. 01

    Send the messy version

    Describe what repeats, where the information lives and who needs a better answer. No technical brief or call is required.

  2. 02

    Clarify by email at no charge

    I ask focused questions, identify constraints and suggest the smallest useful starting point. You can stop there with no obligation.

  3. 03

    Receive a written scope and quotation

    If the work makes sense, you receive the outcome, boundaries, assumptions, delivery stages and tailored price before committing. Paid or negotiated calls and site visits are reserved for build-level discovery after serious intent.

Project route

Setup + first year

Agreed modules, configuration, integration, production handover and updates for the first year.

Managed route

Ongoing improvement

A recurring arrangement covering agreed support, updates and periodic improvements.

Ownership route

Bespoke or exclusive IP

Exclusive ownership of a bespoke module can be scoped and priced separately.

Free email consultation

Send the messy version.

Tell me what wastes time, what you use now and what a better week would look like. I will reply by email and keep the first conversation in plain English.

No discovery call required.

Free email clarification continues until you decide to proceed or stop. Calls and site visits are reserved for paid or negotiated build-level discovery.

This form prepares a draft in your own email app. Nothing is sent to a website database. If your email app does not open, copy the prepared message instead.
